Nah the flag code is not law in any way, just recommendations. Especially when it comes to civilians. What I want to know is how it was $11,000 in damages. That can’t be the charges against the flag burning, I wonder if they mean cleanup for the protest.
Like what would they claim? We paid 100 people $100 to sweep the area for 4 hours, and $1000 for a replacement flag?
Likely paid 10 people $15 an hour for 4 hours, and paid $150 for a new flag. Admin fees. $1000.
I think they were being facetious. As they were saying they are defending themselves until they march all the way through… To Turkey (their northern border)
Mitch does look eerily similar to the worm in Kennedys head. I get why you said parasites now.
I think what they are talking about is the Gemini app which was installed from the play store it likely doesn’t have access to everything. Android put a update that integrated it to replace androids assistant. I assume it is the same one they are rolling into the Google Home and whatever so they all work the same and sync through the Home app. (Haven’t tried any of that, I keep off most everything these days. Used to love playing with new tech… Now I’m just tired)
It replaced the Google assistant in standard android. Overall it is a worse experience for me so far. It tries to give much more information and isn’t as easy to navigate to me. Most common things I would do is set alarms, say things like “directions to Orange county DMV” or wherever. The alarms have gotten better but assistant always used to say, “your alarm is set for 6am” and id see a thing on screen that would say 12 hrs and 22 mins until the alarm and it would disappear about 3 seconds after it created it. Gemini doesn’t have that. And if I ask for directions, it reads off things for like 30 seconds and makes it hard to just click on map or what not (nonsense shit too, like reading off the GPS coordinate, pronouncing all the pronunciation). I didn’t go out of my way to update it, it’s just a cheap Motorola phone because I broke my old Pixel in Phoenix on a work trip. For a $70 phone though, it really does do all I need these days though. First phone I’ve had that I can use it for hours during the day and the battery doesn’t die by the end of the day, because the CPU/GPU aren’t good enough to require high power use, haha. Not sure how it works with other phones these days but I used this phone to map 2 locations (about 20 miles total), make a phone call (30 mins), check out Lemmy (1.5 hours waiting), then turned it off, and came back 37 hours later and turned it on and my battery was at 92%. Sometimes having a slow processor has perks I guess.
I was lazy the other day and I asked gemini to set an alarm for me, then asked how long it was until that alarm. Not even fucking close to the right amount of time. I figured it would be smart enough to just subtract for me…
Should have said 8 hours and 2 mins… Nope, just made up a time

I’m to lazy to clean both the metal straw and the rubber covers, I just clean the metal straw and forget about the rubber part. So I guess not around me.
Why would a raccoon chase a dog up a left tree? 🌴
Haha yeah, I get what the saying is about
They have such cute little nibblers when they’re little, haha
Id ask if we could trade genetics, but your father may or may not be Satan and I’m not sure what that entails. Fuck it, I’m down
So uh… If I didn’t know what those were before you mentioned them is that a bad thing?
It always makes me so disappointed. I have tried cilantro probably a hundred times now always thinking yeah, it makes things better for others it has to taste fine this time. So I use it when I make tacos or anything if someone else is eating with me. Yet every time, still tastes like fucking soap. Lol. I really want it to not… Not sure why.
I feel like there should be a saying involving palm trees with this, as their bark is very different and they are actually closer to grasses than most trees.
Chop down a palm tree and count the rings to see how old it is, the answer is 0. They don’t make rings, much like a blade of grass. They are fn dinosaur grass basically. (They were around back then). It’s also part of how they can bend and not snap as easily during high winds.
I’m guessing they meant it as a joke and not about the person in the picture. Kind of like the “sir this is a Wendys” joke. But an overweight person working fast food looking down on people for being born in a different time and living a different life.
Just my best guess.
Edit: Or they are just a troll?
I just don’t understand why they say this is the first thing you learn. I had to learn how to befriend my swamp puppy first. Then we studied climbing fences, and finally moved onto Palm trees later on. How else are you going to get your Christmas lights up there?
Why do you think that? That’s an aggressive claim. I don’t use it, but thats because it isn’t my idea of fun, obviously many like it. Data collection happens everywhere, are you referring to kids eating tide pods or something?
Agreed, I don’t get the stock market. I know how to invest in it but how can someone say it has value if in theory the stock can plummet while the business thrives, and the business can turn to absolute shit and the stock can thrive. Like right now Tesla’s stock should be dropping. It’s vehicles lost a large portion of buyers, sales were down in the first and second quarter of 2024, people say they may have finally been up in Q3 of 2024 compared to 2023, while “experts” are saying sales are slowing, and market competition is increasing on all sides, so future profits are in jeopardy, yet the stock is at the highest it has ever been.
People would have hated it, but if they partnered with Google years ago, they could have gotten street view hooked up to the USPS trucks and got updating street views and maps fairly regularly, while outsourcing some of the costs to them, probably 10 years to late though probably
