    Unfortunately, most of that (lying, chasing, not reporting a crash) isn’t actually illegal (for pigs). Police have a stupid amount of leeway from the law.

    Really, it should be illegal at the state level in every state to chase people. I’ve lived in a city where the PD had that: police could not chase; they’d just find them later.







  • We have never rejected fanaticism.

    The revolution was built on fanatical ideas and ideals of American exceptionalism and where was propaganda to support that.

    The civil was started primarily because the wealthy didn’t want to give up free labor (slaves) but a lot of individuals supported it because they felt the big scary northern government was attacking their homes and they had to defend them and their way of life (still, slavery,).

    Pretty much every war is sold based on fanaticism. The Spanish American war was wholesale created by yellow journalism. The world wars were a bit different because America was very isolationist then and it needed a push.

    Overall America isn’t an exception here. Most humans need to be fanatical to really do big things like war or revolution.

    You can definitely hear it. You can hear someone on a voice call or talk radio pretty clearly just walking near them.

    But this is really asking about the cars you can hear coming down the block that sounds like they’re trying to work out sore muscles with their subwoofers.




  • Yeah. I had assumed they infused, soaked or injected the ethanol after cooking the hot dogs.

    Also ethanol doesn’t get entirely cooked out of food. It depends on the cooking method and how long. It can take hours for the majority to be cooked out. But unless your dish is mostly alcohol or you’re eating an absolute ton of it, it probably won’t matter for blood alcohol level. It will matter for any recovering alcoholics, though!





  • The VCR was invented, marketed, and sold to do this very thing. When the VCR first came out (same for betamax) they didn’t sell pre-recorded tapes because the only way they had to make those was to manually record them individually in real-time which was prohibitively expensive. That’s also why movie rental places caught on: early VHS movies were too expensive for most to afford. But not too expensive for a business to rent hundreds of times.

    Suffice to say: if recording TV was piracy, it wasn’t illegal and the people bitching had no way to enforce their will.
