I guess I don't have to renew my Ring subscription then. If things go awry I can just ask FBI to ask Amazon for the footage.

Sure, if whatever case you need Ring camera footage for is important enough to get FBI involved.

I think there's a grand tour segment specifically addressing people who complain about a car show being staged.

Edit: it's S2E4 "Unscripted".


> Former Iran used to be mini-skirts

You mean just in a few cities like Tehran and only in 60s and 70s?


Yeah Tehran, Shiraz, and Isfahan at least. Not very practical otherwise as it was a fashion thing. I would imagine as other towns grew it would have spread. Only point being they were not killed for it.

I think you need to do some research on it. Secular modernization was forced on Iranian population by pre-revolution rulers. There's in fact records of police tearing off veils and actually killing protesters of veil ban. I'm not saying the current regime is very democratic either, but facts are facts.

Isn’t 90% of the population in Tehran?

Exactly.. it's like claiming the whole US should adopt far left ideology because that's what prevails in New York and Los Angeles.

2 minutes in it's already heartbreaking as a dad to a 5 yo.

I have an acura Integra and a Toyota Highlander. Both have most of the capabilities as standard except stopping for obstacles/traffic lights and making lane change or turns. They can detect vehicles around it and follow the one in front. Theoretically once you are on the highway/interstate they can drive themselves.


My wife is a PhD in recycled asphalt materials and pioneered the use of such materials in New Mexico.

Under her PhD supervisor she directly worked with the NM department of transportation as a consultant. She did all that as an international student besides her graduate studies while being paid at 50% FTE (+tuition).

It takes between $10m (rural) to $100m (urban) to build a mile of interstate. Recycled materials can reduce the cost by 15-50% while still being equally as sustainable for decades.

Fortunately she is no longer at risk (or minimal risk) job/immigration wise. But others are not as fortunate. Just yesterday I learned that a PhD student from my alma mater was turned back from port of entry and his student visa denied. Reason? He traveled with his University provided laptop without written authorization. I understand that there are embargos and sanctions and trade restrictions, but really?


Because academia and University research is broken at best and leftist breeding ground at worst /s


Current administration have plenty of time, 3 years to be exact, to turn USA into another Iran.


Some people also need to get in the habit of researching a claim by themselves.


Pretty sure doing your own research turns you into a conspiracy theorist; so I don’t think we’re supposed to do that anymore.


Haha that's a good one. Maybe just do a "@grok is that true?".


No it doesn't. Conspiracy theorists don't actually do research. If they did, that might risk invalidating their theory.


At least some conspiracy theorists do selective research.


Selective research is an oxymoron.

The word for it is cherry-picking and it is better classified as a fallacy.


IMO, the problem is that you must learn what "research" actually entails before attempting it, so that you don't fall into the trap of that fallacy.

Most people… eh. I don't know about the rest of the world, and my experience was in the 90s, but for me GCSE triple science was a list of facts to regurgitate in exams, and although we did also have practical sessions those weren't scored by how well we did Popperian falsification (a thing I didn't even learn about it until my entirely optional chosen-for-fun A-level in Philosophy; I don't know if A-level sciences teaches that).


40% is not earth-shattering when it closed at $6.73 yesterday.


The absolute value of one share doesn't really mean anything. No matter how you slice it, down 40% means that the company lost 40% of its value overnight. That's pretty Earth shattering for any company IMO.


If it does not mean anything, why do day traders concentrate on sub $10 stocks and long term investors ignore them?


Did you just answer your own question? Sure, the share price is a psychological element and, in conjunction with pre-fractional-ownership, it helps explain the prevalence of splits above $100/share. But no, the individual unit price doesnt affect true “value”, marketcap, or fundamentals like future discounted profit model.
