You sure that's not something your state did in pursuit of federal funding?

The states understand all too well how to game the system — not just in this area but in health care and all the other areas as well — and they realize that if they simply lower their standards, then they could say, “Hey, we met our goal and we get our funding, and we don’t have any of the additional restrictions.” So NCLB provided an incentive for states who once had a good standard to lower that down much lower.

I don't want to be the a-hole, but whatever announcement you received is of so little value that you're getting twisted about fighting with a credit card company over $1200, when you pay them at least $300 a year (not sure if Reserve) just to hold the card.

I spent 15 minutes of effort to get $600 out of United, and you're lining the battlements over something that seems to be neither here nor there except for the cost. Did you think insurance was ever on your side? On this board?

Whatever your canceling scenario is, it will end up being the worst. Your circumstances will dictate whether you care whether you care if you get anything out of it or not.

FFS, you booked a Disney cruise, is this trip reimbursement really going to move the needle?

You could tell her eggs have yolks and whites and she'd object. She's dumb. Not sure whether her or Sotomayor are the bottom of the barrel. Pro tip, when your kids want to go to expensive colleges, you get bitches that can't read, like them.

Are the weights you input wrong? I don't know what sessions you're looking at, but there are totally 1 mile long trails that won't burn off a Coors light, and then there's ... considerably more challenging 1/2 mile hikes that will burn three times that. (Think the tiny hike up the Mount of Olives vs. exploring a wheelchair accessible "trail" in Manassas.)

In 2022, the Big Easy's city government relaxed its ban on the use of facial recognition technology. It could be used to investigate violent crimes, but had to be checked by a human operator before action was taken.

But an investigation published Monday by the Washington Post found that within a year, police were quietly receiving continuous real-time facial recognition alerts from a privately operated camera network. These alerts came from cameras managed by nonprofit Project NOLA, which runs a sprawling, privately funded surveillance network across the city, the report says.

Project NOLA claims access to more than 5,000 camera feeds in the New Orleans area, with over 200 equipped for facial recognition. The system compares faces against a privately compiled database of more than 30,000 individuals, assembled partly from police mugshots. When a match is detected, officers receive a mobile phone alert with the person's identity and location, according to the report.

The police were required to notify the city council each time they used facial recognition technology in an investigation or arrest, but reportedly failed to do so. In multiple cases, police reports omitted any mention of the technology,

In 2022, Randall Reid was arrested in Georgia after Louisiana deputies used Clearview AI to match his driver's license photo to surveillance footage from a purse theft, despite his claim that he had never been to the state. He spent six days in jail, incurred thousands in legal fees, and in 2023 filed a federal lawsuit alleging wrongful arrest based solely on a facial recognition match.

New Orleans was no exception, banning the tech in 2020. But the 2022 ruling relaxed the rules slightly to allow its use via the Louisiana Fusion Center, which aggregates data from police across the state.

At the time, police assured city officials the technology would only be used as a last resort after other identification methods failed

And yet the argument from the authoritarians would be that if the system were still in use (improperly) the escapees would be caught, I'm sure.

I'm assuming Acura has their version of FORScan where you might be able to push an update. Maybe look in a forum like this?

Your gift list is very similar to mine. I did mule back about 10 kilos of chocolate from Belgium when I was done with that job, that's about as conventional I got. I got something carved in Joburg, Japan is a layup for unique gifts, etc.

Nah. And that's coming from someone that dealt with small town Louisiana bullshite for years. Now I just watch all the street racers on I-10 that never get pulled over, people driving with no lights on that never get lit up, etc. It's fine. The ATF and federal law enforcement are a bigger problem than local PDs and sheriffs.

Do you care about the J6'ers that are sitting in solitary for vandalism, at worst? No, you're probably just tired of cops harassing you, because you sound like a shady pot head who makes a lot of sudden movements and moves his hands around a lot when stopped.

They're shitty scrub trees. It's not this:
