That's probably why they chose Apple as an example in the first place. Apple Computers was allowed to continue using the name because their computer business didn't overlap Apple Corps' music business.

I was something like $250 over the annual income threshold to qualify for Medicaid for my first son's birth. My employer was "kind" enough to allow me unpaid time off long enough to get me under the threshold, but having an "all or nothing" threshold just to qualify was a little frustrating.

Officers must have reasonable suspicion of a law being broken to require ID: https://legalclarity.org/can-a-cop-ask-for-your-id-for-no-reason/. The case you cited was because of an expired plate.

He was within his rights to ask what law he violated before complying. The cops mentioned he needed his headlights on for the conditions, but he was skeptical, so he asked for the statute or a supervisor. If he refused after that, fine; but the cops escalated way earlier and with more force than was reasonable.

That's the German spelling for English.

And after they had depleted the zebrafish's gut microbiota.

England has referred to vaccines as jabs long before it started to be used as a pejorative.

A comment on the YouTube video makes a good point that we already have a better word for the concept of dealing with multiple things at once: multitasking. Using a word that literally means "things happening at the same time" just adds to the confusion, since people already have a difficult time understanding the distinction between multitasking and concurrency.

I was raised antivax, got the measles at age 17, and was still antivax for roughly 10 more years. It was my wife that convinced me to actually think about it, because she was adamant about vaccinating any children we had. I have her to thank for making me less ignorant. My sisters, on the other hand, are all still antivax despite my attempts to convince them otherwise.

I mean, what if the better quality sleep was causing those effects? That does seem unfortunate you had to stop using something making you feel better. I wonder if there was a different, more dangerous side effect they were worried about.

I realize your point is that Russia is trying to find any wedge issue they can to cause infighting, but that was a frustrating example.

A lot of Trump supporters are voting to cause direct harm to marginalized groups, and have made it a part of their daily identity. "If I caught a man using the same bathroom as my daughter, I'd fuck him up." (real quote from someone I know)

A vegan voting to get rid of meat subsidies simply doesn't want to pay for your meat. Or voting for animal rights isn't voting to cause you direct harm like blocking crucial medical care. Also, most vegans usually keep to themselves. The only reason it seems like they tell everyone is how often they are asked, "wait, are you vegetarian?" every time they dare to order tofu/veggies instead of meat.

Source: I'm not even vegan or vegetarian, but have probably been asked a hundred times. I can only imagine how often a vegan is asked that question.

I can sometimes do this without my attention even shifting. I'll mentally read every word individually for a while, but forget to put them together to actually understand them.

Unfortunately, if his house does burn down, he's just going to blame public services for their failure to protect his home, and then claim that privatized fire services would have been better.

You can be popular without being intelligent.

The numbers aren't too difficult to verify.

I found this Canadian government web page that says it's roughly 8.9 kWh, so that checks out.

Looking at the fuel efficiency table on that same website, it looks like OP used a reasonable average fuel efficiency of 30 mpg or slightly under 8L/100km: 4 miles / 30mpg = 0.13 gallons, or 0.492 liters, so their claim of half a liter of gas also checks out.

The cheapest commercial energy in the US appears to be in North Dakota at $0.0741/kWh, so using $0.05/kWh was very generous.

The average Netflix user watches about 2 hours per day, or 60 hours per month.

Just in an attempt to be a bit more accurate, let's assume the individual user's television and internet router use about 900W, so we'll use a final number of 8kW for Netflix's power use per user.

8 kW * 60 hours= 480 kWh

And the cost of all of those kWh at $0.05: 480 kWh * $0.05 = $24.00

Or, the cost in the least expensive state in the US: 480 kWh * $0.0741 = $35.57

National average is $0.14/kWh, so unless Netflix was serving everyone out of North Dakota and Texas, their average cost per user would be much closer to $70 per user.

OP's numbers were definitely already accurate enough for the point. Basically, there's no possible way Netflix needs that much electricity to serve their users.

Also, the video didn't appear to be making a sovereign citizen argument, just asking why he was pulled over. Pulling someone over simply for driving while black is not a lawful stop. But like you said, there are 6 more minutes of video, so we have no idea the details of this specific case, but that doesn't mean it's lawful for every case.

I'm fully aware of that entire genre of videos from sovereign citizens. /r/amibeingdetained was one of my favorite subreddits before leaving reddit.

That's on purpose - white skin? it can be either one; otherwise both are wrong.

We're on a bridge, Charlie!

That is a very common reply when someone loses a loved one from a natural disaster or disease. Your child didn't die from cancer just to teach you a lesson, it was just an unfortunate tragedy (I will admit that sometimes that cancer was because of some evil, polluting, asshole corporation).

What are you talking about? He literally listed a bunch of things we're first at!

When you're rich and powerful, it's all their fault because they want you to grab them by the pussy.
