Wednesday! Time for our approval-evoking*, good-news-eliciting* Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: *that is, if correlation = causation ============================================= THE WATCH SEARCH One night, a man on his way home saw a drunk, who was down on his hands and knees searching for something under a streetlight. The man asked the drunk what he was looking for. The drunk said that he had tripped, and his Rolex wristwatch had broken loose from his wrist. The man promptly got down on his hands and knees and began helping the drunk look for his watch. After ten minutes and no success, the man asked the drunk exactly where he had tripped. "About a half a block up the street," the drunk said. "Why, then," the man asked the drunk, "are you looking for your watch here if you lost it a half a block up the street?" The drunk replied, "The light is a lot better here."

Harvard, Princeton Both Cave to Hamas Sympathizers in the Name of 'Restorative Justice' [...] One of the hunger strikers' demands is that students be given amnesty and have their suspensions (and arrest records) expunged, because, after all, those won't look good during their job search. It appears that Princeton has caved on that demand, announcing a "restorative justice" program that will "rapidly conclude the University disciplinary process, making it possible for the students to join Commencement and receive their degrees along with their classmates" — useless degrees they'll probably rip up in protest.

What an enterprising and win-win idea -- kind of like what DeSantis did earlier in Florida regarding NYC cops. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wyoming Sheriff Uses Billboard To Attract Denver Cops After City Defunded Police A Wyoming sheriff is trying to recruit deputies by posting a billboard in Denver, Colorado. "Work in Wyoming where breaking the law is STILL ILLEGAL & cops are still funded," reads a billboard the Laramie County Sheriff's Office placed near downtown Denver. Laramie County Sheriff Brian Kozak said the billboard touts the whole state of Wyoming as a law-and-order state, and that people in the Cowboy State value law enforcement. He figures Denver cops aren't feeling much of that after the city recently slashed its police department by $8 million.

'It's a real thing': Drivers and passengers report motion sickness in EVs An oft-touted advantage of owning an electric vehicle is one-pedal driving, when drivers can slow down a vehicle simply by lifting off the throttle. But as more Americans swap their gas-powered cars and trucks for an EV, some are also realizing there are drawbacks to the one-pedal lifestyle. "It can cause some people to get sick," John Voelcker, a former editor of Green Car Reports and a contributing editor at Car and Driver, told ABC News. "Strong regenerative braking, which recaptures max energy, can cause motion sickness. There is a learning curve to lifting off the accelerator in an EV ... you have to modulate it."

He is psychotic and should be institutionalized.

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and that they should not interfere with God's will. At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide in the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the next week. The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures, so they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down their water-slide. The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path. They set out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do. But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy -- they baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they see them only at Christmas and Easter. Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven't seen a squirrel since.

Kash Patel: Senior Military Officials Intentionally Delayed National Guard Deployment on January 6th [...] Ryan D.

Precisely, it's 90 days, not "3 months." There's a difference. Avoid applying on what you think is the 90th day; wait a few days longer. People have had their N-400s rejected consequent to being even one day too early.

Small, well-built Chinese EV called the Seagull poses a big threat to the US auto industry LIVONIA, Mich. (AP) — A tiny, low-priced electric car called the Seagull has American automakers and politicians trembling. The car, launched last year by Chinese automaker BYD, sells for around $12,000 in China, but drives well and is put together with craftsmanship that rivals U.S. electric vehicles that cost three times as much. A shorter-range version costs under $10,000. Tariffs on imported Chinese vehicles will keep the Seagull out of America for now, and it likely would sell for more than 12 grand if imported. But the rapid emergence of low-priced EVs from China could shake up the global auto industry in ways not seen since Japanese makers arrived during the oil crises of the 1970s. BYD, which stands for "Build Your Dreams," could be a nightmare for the U.S. auto industry. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/small-well-built-chinese-ev-055434324.html
