This has got to be my biggest pet peeve among most news organizations. Most links on their articles just go back to an older page on their own website instead of pointing at the actual source.

I would imagine you would also want to avoid getting on their list if you ever wanted to travel to there as a tourist.

Well... The word "FAIRLY" was written in all caps.

Maybe they didn't like the way you were voting?

Except that Hunter Biden wasn't convicted/pardoned for anything related to this.

Jurors found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days.

It sounds like the tech support agent was trying to get him to do just that on his phone... But I haven't used Waymo before, so I'm not certain about that.

China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there

I think you meant to say:
"China has enough air pollution that the smog from there blows over to Los Angeles"

Also American, I had something similar happen with an Ambulance. I did not get transported, but they still charged $2700. So, it might depend on where you live, or which ambulance company responded to the call.

Don't worry, we didn't give them the idea. Ford filed for a patent to do exactly this in 2021 and published it in 2023.

Is anyone else bothered by the last panel where they suddenly switch places?

A short while back I saw a comment on Lemmy mention something along the lines of how opinion pieces are the best/only place that they go for their info... And it had a ton of upvotes.

Anything I could do to make sure my heir continued on with my vision would not be guarunteed, and it would only be temporary. As the saying goes, you're putting all of your eggs in one basket, from one ruler to the next.

A more permanent solution would be to overhaul the current system and setup checks and balances so that no one person could have too much power.

You could divide up power between an Executive Branch, a Legislative Branch, and a Judicial Branch. Then you put in place like-minded groups of people in each of those branches and voilà.
