It's Did Not Finish in racing

Chess is a logic puzzle that changes as you play it, with the randomness coming from player interaction. If you're not into solving those kinds of puzzles, you're probably not going to have fun.

I agree with you, the "unimportant" part was tongue in cheek. My point really is that if a person wants a job done for money, they need to either pay a living wage or admit that the work isn't important enough to pay for. There shouldn't be an in-between for people to take advantage of.

That's the problem, SCOTUS saw it and specifically reduced it from effectuate down to facilitate.

Then we make two wages, one we call minimum, the other we call living. That way it's easy to know if a place is offering a living wage or if it's just unimportant work.

Oof. So what should he be doing instead?

I used to try to use them 100%, but there are so many situations where it's completely unwarranted (in my specific driving circumstances). So I guess I default to using my indicators, but I try to use them the right way, i.e. before a lane change rather than after I've started to commit.

Also, I used to put on my indicator for a lane change nice and early, but dear god the way these cars warn about your blind spot being occupied, holy shit. Music turns down, loud beeping, it's madness.

No, but only because I rarely pull out of a driveway or parking spot into any sort of traffic. Parallel parked on a road, though, sure.

Nine bullets that found their mark. In most police shootings it's only about a quarter of shots that actually hit their intended target. It's a miracle that nobody else was injured.

Even Scooby-Doo villains admit they would have gotten away with it after weeks of successfully getting away with it.

You're right, it will require somebody with a lot of conviction to take such a drastic, life-altering action. It's much easier to say "just do it" than it is to say, "follow me."

Realistically, what would happen if ICE agents came in the middle of the night and a person were to completely gun them down? I assume it would escalate responses in general, but what happens to that person? Is martyrdom as much as they could hope for?
