I saw Lilo & Stitch and have no idea what this is referring to. I don't recall any Marines in the film.

$10.86 and $119.463 in today's dollars. Currently the federal minimum wage is $7.25 or $0.67 an hour in 1960s dollars.
Assuming 2 weeks off a year this would be an annual income of $43,440 or 36% of the home's value, less than 3 years wages. In 2025, the median home value is $416,900 and a couple earning the federal minimum wage would earn $29,000 per year, which is 7% of the home's value or 14 years worth of wages.
No, no, it's those vulnerable people's fault for causing division in the party. "Now is not the time to rock the boat," "lesser evil," "harm reduction," blah blah blah. Now here's Dick Cheney to tell you why we're the good guys and that we deserve to be elected as your representatives.
M110 didn't drive more overdose deaths. This increase echoes exactly what was happening around the rest of the country with fentanyl exploding on the scene.
Furthermore drug dealing and public drug use were not decriminalized, but the shitty PPB wanted to stick it to the public by not enforcing the law. State Dems also kneecapped the bill by not distributing any of the treatment funding and instead held onto it until they could repeal the bill, against the will of the people, and then redistribute all that money to lazy and corrupt police departments.
I would say this is definitely on the Portland government when they spent $200k on each homeless person with absolutely nothing to show for it in the end. I'm sure that money is lining the pockets of political donors and sleazy companies who treat tax dollars like their own personal piggybank.
I imagine just competing on price and routes. It's not as if many other airlines will treat you any better.
They're also removing the free checked bags AFAIK which is probably the real reason people chose them. I have had nothing but bad experiences with Southwest and can't stand them any longer. The seat free-for-all was also shitty too and I'm glad to see it go.
Interesting that just blasting metal with high speed metal particles actually offers structural support back to the metal. I wonder how the strength compared to a new piece of metal of the same thickness.
There were a couple other posts this morning to what appears to be another pretend news website. I wonder what the deal is. Ad revenue farming?
They went even further and called it terrorism.
I've been getting them over the last week or so on both Chrome at work (Ublock lite) and Firefox at home (UBlock Origin). It's just a popup telling me adblockers aren't allowed and then a second smaller popup saying something to the effect of "loading issues?" with a link as the video delays playing for a few seconds.
Weird I saw this post and then just a couple posts down is another article from this same obscure site from a completely different user.
I'd argue it's closer to hand made than manufacturing due to most people only having the ability to crank out small batches of prints as a side hustle. I still think it's short sighted and wonder why other CNC devices aren't also being banned like CNC routers, laser cutters, laser engravers, pen plotters, etc since these all use similar designs and mechanical systems. Where do you draw the line? I can understand only wanting hand made or vintage items but if technology is advancing past that and the market isn't really there for those items, then what's the purpose of the site?
