dudes, colonoscopies hurt less than going to a dentist for a cavity. The prep is the main thing that sucks because the stuff tastes like ass but hold your nose and chug. Easiest test you'll ever have and could save your life.

The biggest issue with all this is that ICE agents are in fact NOT police officers.

As a US citizen you DO NOT have to obey them in the same manner as a police officer and their rights to detain you are limited. Unless they were placing her under arrest she was free to leave and drive on. Most ICE agents lack the same training that your average state police officer would be forced to go through and thus are far more likely to do something stupid.

If you watch the slow-mo versions of the video people have posted you can see the ICE agent in question actually fired his weapon when his arm was fully extended away from his body still in front of vehicle as he had moved his body out of the impact zone of the front of her car. That's a terrible way to discharge a weapon even if you think you life is in danger. Seems far more likely it was a panic shot out of fear he was still in front of her not realizing he was no longer in danger.

Even if she had floored it at that point, and overal she was driving pretty slowly like a panicked mom might do, his arm would have just been struck by the windshield as she passed.

you are interning. the last thing you should be worried about are the long term growth prospects of company.

Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram. Some of the most successful brands and platforms in modern history. You are either learning or earning in any job...as a intern it's all about the former. I'd wager you can learn something at Meta.

BI has become a go to for semi-factual insidery tech gossip/hit pieces. 80-90% of what they post is bullshit.

Who cares. It's the stock market. You aren't guaranteed a profit. It doesn't give a shit about protecting you. People have been making stupid financial decisions for decades...some people are going to make a lot of money and others will lose their shirts. Same with the bitcoin people, the tesla people, etc etc.

This isn't new...there are gamestops every couple of years. This is just an extreme version in a year when everyone is online 24/7.

As someone who's not knowledgeable about this...will SpaceX or a private space company ever begin sending satellites, probes, rovers to planets besides NASA's current planning or does the reduced cost of the reusable rockets not help that much given the lack of financial payoffs and amount of time needed to maintain.

Always bums me out that we aren't sending probes off to all the inner and outer planets every year given the length of time it takes for them to even get to their destination.

AZ is the state I'll be watching. Due to the issues around the last election they changed the rules and will begin counting mail-in ballots far earlier and 98% will be counted by the time the polls close. The turnout so far has been massive

nobody that hasn't already decided on who they are voting for cares about any of this dumb shit
