A school bus, with the red lights flashing, may NOT be passed on either side. This is to prevent children from being run over. Texas cops are quick to fine anyone who does, and it's hammered into your head in Drivers Ed.
In some states it's not a big deal, and so many of those people moved to Texas to get away from their states, only to turn Texas into what they hated. They don't learn.
I got a bogus red light ticket once, and that was what convinced me to get a dashcam. That judge just took the cops' word for everything, so even a dashcam might not have helped, but it couldn't have hurt.
No, inflation is an expansion of the money supply. When the government prints more money than the population growth requires, banks lend more money at lower rates, people and businesses borrow more, and the surplus money chasing the same goods and services increases the demand and prices rise. That is economic inflation, my term, which is different from what laymen call inflation: some prices going up, as from tariffs or other taxes.
I have read of people given tickets for passing stopped school buses with their red STOP signs swung out, who got the ticket dismissed by pointing out that normal STOP signs mean PAUSE then continue. I have no idea if the original stories were true or if that still works. STOP signs really mean wait until the intersection clears, and arguably the temporary intersection created by the school bus doesn't clear until the kiddies are across the street.
Reading all these comments makes it clear that we on Slashdot have become who we used to ridicule: Science-denying zealots.
"Trump must win"?
Do you people even listen to yourselves?
The man is literally ADOLF HITLER.
"Here"
Here's an idea, pajeet! Why don't you fuck ALL THE WAY off and get off our AmeriKKKan social media?
Nobody wants to listen to you stinky foreigners who whower once a week and don't tip.
Leave. Go. Get on your own country's social media and post all the "AmeriKKKa sucks" comments you want there.
AUSLANDER RAUS!
When Commerce Secretary Hoover got Congress to create the FCC's predecessor in 1927, it explicitly required spectrum allocation to be based on "the public interest", overturning the private property rights common law had been developing. This was done at the behest of the new radio network cronies. This led to all sorts of censorship, eventually enshrined as the fairness doctrine. The FCC also flexed its muscles to delay FM radio, cable TV, cell phones, color TV, WiFi, and I forget what else, by 10-20 or more years.
There's a great book on this, "Political Spectrum", by Thomas Hazlett. A good review: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hoover.org%2Fresearc...
The workers tried overthrowing the government. Jewish Bolsheviks seized power and ruled the country. They then murdered ten million Christians in Ukraine.
This genocide was covered up by the New York Times, who won a Pulitzer Prize that they still proudly display today.
Why do you think Big H was so fixated on invading Russia and eliminating Jews?
The Bolsheviks openly declared their intention of conquering all of Europe. They tried, too, only to be stopped by the valiant Poles at the Vistula.
Everyone knows about H and the six million, but nobody has heard of Yagoda the Jew and the ten million. Make Yagoda famous!
Huh. I coulda sworn mine had the crank. On the other hand, maybe they only promised it for later delivery and I barely used it after a few days experimenting, since it was so limited, and eventually tossed it along with a lot of other eWaste.
Many many years ago, I bought an OLPC, actually a pair, one for me, the other they sent to Africa or some other place. I do not remember the year even vaguely. I do remember it had a crank to windup and charge the battery. I bought the two because (from memory) the purpose of the laptop was strictly limited:
* Carry all textbooks on one laptop, instead of having to walk miles to school and back with a heavy backpack.
* Have modern eBook textbooks, not fifth generation hand-me-downs which had been written in a different language for a different country. This was certainly important for indoctrination in local history and culture, but it even applied to math textbooks, whose examples could well use cultural aspects which were literally foreign.
* Be rechargeable with that windup crank for kids whose homes had no electricity.
* Use a screen to read those books instead of having to stop using them after dark or by candles or oil lamps.
In particular, I had never heard that they were meant to teach computer science. It might have been a nice side effect, but I did not think it was any kind of a primary goal. The primary goal was to help young children learn.
