They've said, in an emergency, they could get everyone into the other crafts.

Ground guide or at least a crew commander at the top of the tank/armoured fighting vehicle. I can see lots of people accepting a lookout on top of their Personal Support Truck before they'd consider downsizing or gulp not driving. I guess that would also increase vehicle occupancy above the abysmal 1.4 people/vehicle it's currently at!

No, I didn't validate your question, just clarified why you were confused. "A magnitude less" is hyperbole and therefore clearly an opinion.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Sorry if it wasn't clear, maybe I should have said, "I feel the harassment would have been a magnitude less." The rest is pretty provable, in that Drumpf & Co. have been spewing hate and even threatening violence in some cases, while Democrats have general spoken up against violence.

I'm not sure what flagrant fouls have to do with being racist?

[-] [email protected] 42 points 3 days ago

Sure, but

  1. She didn't endorse Harris

  2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

One thing the article doesn't mention, is Caitlin Clark's place as a white woman in a sport dominated by black athletes, and the segment of her fans that she might eventually have to disown. For example, there's an under-current of racism in the drama between her and Angel Reese.

Sue Bird had similar experiences but a generation or so earlier. Of course, there was less social media when she was a young player, and a lot less focus of women's basketball. Even still, there was a lot of dog-whistle language about how, "she played the game the right way," or how, "she's an upstanding citizen." Of course, Bird eventually came out which made some of those fans leave on their own.

only national, provincial, and municipal flags should be flown at municipal facilities or flagpoles

I know this is pretty off-topic, but I found this part funny when one of my municipal Councillors proposed a similar bylaw (which thankfully failed). In Canada, municipal governments are creatures of the province, and the provinces have entered into confederation. By their logic, we shouldn't be flying Canadian flags as the country has no direct relation to the municipality.

The article doesn't say anything about pensions. Are you confusing UPS with USPS?

How much of those parking lots do you think is dedicated to tailgating? (Hint: It's a minor fraction of the overall surface lots).

Tailgating originates out of the lack of nearby bars, restaurants, public spaces around stadiums. That's why there's a trend of newly-built/in-planning stadiums in urban areas with entertainment districts attached. They've realized there's money to be made, and creating walkable spaces just puuumps out the cash.

First off, not an officer, a high ranking enlisted(E-8) personal was the culprit.

Typically, anything E-4 or higher is considered a Non-Commisioned Officer.

EDIT further clarification: from my experience in the Canadian Army, what "Officers" means depends on context. Most often (and what [email protected] probably meant) it means just Commissioned Officers. Other times, it's anyone in leadership, including NCOs.

I think you have the cause and effect backwards.
