Why not? Should he be caught it seems like an open and shut case with video evidence.

What I believe he is referring to is Jury nullification. I interpret your statement of open and shut case as you believe jury must convict if what they interpret to be facts of breaking a laws written by man. By a jury choosing not to convict there is another form of justice implied…

Been through the airport shenanigans enough; collected DEA cards like they was Pokémon. Glad to see them do away with this practice. DEA could definitely use more checks and balance structure with their history of warrantless taps, gps tracking, stingrays, parallel construction (obscuring the true source of where information came from denying those charged the ability to challenge and defend themselves properly.)

Dumb question but my assumption is fiber optic cables could be “tapped”? But the disruption would be noticeable when monitoring the cable. Could you just tap it when you cut it and when it hooked back up that’s the new baseline with the tap in place? That would seem more of a logical reason then a country just randomly cutting lines to me?

Oddly enough, no. It seems to affect a different desire pathway than dopamine and such. It’s not anhedonic, good stuff is still good and you still want it. Even food! It doesn’t make food not-pleasurable, just reduces hunger. It only seems to affect very particular kinds of cravings associated with food and addiction/compulsion, not sex drive (though maybe for “sex addicts”? IDK)

I agree with statement. Nothing really to add in to your response, just seconding it.

I'm curious: is the appetite suppressant effect of GLP-1 different from the one from amphetamines?

ct520 · a year ago

Yes. Having used both I can say indeed it is. Not only does GLP-1 slow digestion which limits what you can eat and when it also is being study for its effects on alcoholism etc reducing cravings. I and many people I know noticed the difference in cravings were not limited to food.

Yeah... They use to pay 10% of the "bounty" seized. Not sure what the going rate is with the heat now and days. The war on drugs lol.. war on peoples rights. Warrantless GPS trackers, then it was stingrays.. quite an intersting organization. They use some .. unique software. Penlink use to publish their software updates publicly was a good read. (you can probably find it on wayback machine) Interesting software to say the least.. https://www.penlink.com/digital-intelligence-original-work-2...

Rewind.ai looks a lot more full featured (unless their site is complete BS and none of it works yet). Doesn't matter though because Apple will rebuild this themselves in 2-5 years with an on-device LLM chip that you will have to buy new hardware to get and it will be way more efficient and with way better privacy.

ct520 · 2 years ago

Works well. Been using it since beta. I got a memory like a gold fish and this comes in handy.

I'm rooting for it despite it being silly and not a practical pickup, strictly because every car people are buying looks identical (picture a crossover SUV from Toyota, Chevy, BMW etc. Basically shoe-shaped things).

This looks like a concept car that would never come to market. I hope it sells really well and convinces others to bring actually-creative designs to market.

ct520 · 2 years ago

I appreciate your thinking, unfortunately if it sells well I feel the industry will just do the same thing. Instead of shoe shaped things, we will just have cyber truck knock offs. Which ugh I can’t say I would prefer over what we have now.

ct520 commented on Consumers defrauded on Zelle are left high and dry by the banks that created it [pdf] warren.senate.gov/imo/med... · Posted by u/fortran77

costco · 2 years ago

Due to Zelle's low transaction limits the amount lost in Zelle scams is hardly worth noting. Every bank already has a warning page before you use Zelle telling people what to look for in scams but based on this report it appears people are ignoring it. The losses from investment scams are much more worrying. I think all consumer bank accounts should require a mandatory two hour anti scam educational video before any outbound transfer > $10000 can be made.

ct520 · 2 years ago

Low transaction limits? I regularly send $xx,xxx through zelle. Guess I got to up my game..
