… the ABC entered “Miscellaneous Ad Interim Permits,” which allow the facilities to continue serving alcohol until a hearing on the renewals is held.

So, still no consequences.

Wasn’t it already decided that police are not obliged to help anyone? How can this go anywhere?

That you know of.

Monk doesn’t go that far, and it’s still obvious. “Here’s a joke before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause. “Here’s a little cliffhanger before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause.

I’ve been watching Monk recently, without ads, and it’s very interesting how television shows used to be written and edited for commercials. It’s dead obvious where the commercials used to be, and even that detracts from the overall experience.

Taking up two parking spaces? Prison is good enough.

Life without parole.

From the little we know about Frisian, yes, very similar.

Those are all arguably fair - but they seem to apply to national military judicial systems as opposed to civilian criminal courts.

Edit: And when it comes to the United States, those offenses would be federal ones, found in the Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994 - an Act which I still think goes too far. Above, I used the word “state” in its general sense. US States have no purpose applying capital punishment beyond revenge.

The only purpose executions serve is revenge, and the state should not be in the revenge business.

It starts with proto-Indo-European (PIE), and is a fantastic mixture of history and language and how the two intersect. And no ads!

I forget the numbers I’ve heard, but that sounds right. It’s also important to remember that in the 11th century, English vocabulary was much smaller than it is today, so those 10,000 words were a much larger proportion of the English language than might be apparent.

Another thing to know is that English was heavily influenced by Old Norse prior to the Norman Conquest, too. The mixing of those three languages, each having some differences in grammar and inflection, ended with English dropping a lot of inflections and turning to word position in a sentence to determine what’s subject, object, verb.

This is exactly it, and it has to do with the Norman Conquest. After 1066, French was the language of the hurling ruling class and English was for commoners. As such, a lot of French words got borrowed into English, and they usually carried a higher status. Cow vs beef, deer vs venison, that kind of thing.

I seem to recall that Mercedes did it without incident.

To quote the inimitable David Byrne: Stop making sense.

Someone early on in the process made a typo in a form somewhere, then:

I get paid to process orders, not proofread I get paid to manufacture the sign, not proofread I get paid to package the sign for shipping, not proofread I get paid to put the sign up, not proofread

And good for all of them, they’re right. Quality control should be paid for, and if you’re not being paid to do quality control, don’t fucking do it.

In this specific example, I believe the driver buckled the child, closed the door, then was unable to open any door before starting the vehicle. Is it possible to either start the vehicle or at least turn on the climate control from outside? If not, this was a horribly dangerous situation.

Intentional.

Facebook started in 2004 as a platform only available to college students (who would have mainly been born after 1982). After it was opened up to the general public in 2006, its userbase remained pretty young for a number of years.

The majority of crackpots on Facebook today are not boomers. They probably grew up in the 1990s or after.

The car’s owner, Renee Sanchez, was taking her granddaughter to the zoo, but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again. “My phone key wouldn’t open it,” Sanchez said in an interview with Arizona’s Family. “My car key wouldn’t open it.” She called emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched to help.

Just so nobody thinks someone left a kid in the car and then went into a store or something. Tesla should be paying for the broken window repair at the very least.
