I don’t want to defend fucking Boebert or her ilk but to be fair:
“miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house.”
Assuming this is true, kids after three getting out of the house one time and scaring their parents half to death is a pretty often occurrence. Kids get real clever real quick when they get to 3, 4, and 5 and that’s usually when parents suddenly have to re-evaluate the locks on the doors after a jailbreak.
You mean to cover the inspection fee? The inspection sticker doesn’t have an annual fee.
You don’t need anything else other than the inspection sticker.
Are you talking about the TS-mark? You get it when your bike is registered and inspected. If your bike is registered and inspected the inspection fee covers the TS-Mark, you don’t need anything else.
I don’t know who sold you that crap but it sounds like you got scammed.
Actually, yea, kinda.
One of the things you’re taught early on in driving school in Japan is to “close the gap” and pull to the side that you’re turning into in order to prevent bicycles and mopeds from fitting between the sidewalk and your car and tboning you if you pull into a right or left turn.
If you pull into a left turn (left handed driving so similar to a US right turn) without checking that a cyclist is coming up behind you on your left side and they slam into your car you are 100% at fault.
The thing you gotta know about japanese roads and the law is that all roads unless explicitly marked otherwise are primarily for pedestrians and cyclists. As a car driver you are borrowing their roads. The law explicitly states that you are not allowed, while operating a motor vehicle, under any circumstances to impede the progress of pedestrians or cyclists.
The only time the law says otherwise is on highways and roads marked exclusively for motor vehicles.
Old lady walks in the middle of a four-lane highway, shutting down traffic? Yea man too bad, you gotta wait, the most the police will do is set up a road barrier to help her cross easier and ask her nicely to use the pedestrian crosswalk.
No, that’s covered by the “TS Mark” that you get when you buy and register the bike.
The general traffic rule is that unless indicated otherwise, roads are primarily for pedestrians and cyclists, so you’re the one borrowing their roads, not the other way around.
No, they’re not.
Not sure where you heard this, at most you need to register your bike with the police so they know who to fine if you leave it overnight somewhere it’s not supposed to be
In Japan the fault for accidents is always assumed to be the larger vehicle. If a truck hits a car it’s on the onus of the truck driver to prove he wasn’t doing anything wrong, and if a car hits a cyclist, the car driver has to prove their innocence etc.
I think to most Americans that seems appalling (what if the stupid cyclist was doing something reckless?! Etc.), but it definitely makes people in Japan drive much safer in areas where there are potential cyclists, and thus makes it safer to cycle places easily.
Prove you’re literate by solving lateral thinking word puzzles.
Something can be Libre without it’s initial distribution being free (as in beer).
That’s how many distributions used to do it in the days when CDs and floppies etc weren’t exactly free.

This bill prohibits a Federal Reserve bank from offering products or services directly to an individual, maintaining an account on behalf of an individual, or issuing a central bank digital currency (i.e., a digital dollar). Further, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is prohibited from using a central bank digital currency to implement monetary policy or from testing, studying, creating, or implementing a central bank digital currency, with exceptions as provided by the bill.
Oh come the fuck on what. So the plan is to hand stable dollar digital payments entirely to private entities. Super Cool.
Before the one license=one version switch in 2013 the license stated “and future updates” which they did, but they switched to needing to pay for new licenses for some reason. I remember that being the primary reason I switched to emacs.
After having been shafted by sublime text I will never believe anything called a “lifetime subscription” is such.
A “lifetime subscription” is just a “until we decide otherwise” subscription
Not necessarily, but I’ve had acquaintances with criminal records have an innocent situation like that get blown out of proportion by the police because of the record.
At this point I’m kind of assuming she is both lying and the situation was worse than what she’s saying, and yet it likely still didn’t warrant an arrest for criminal negligence and the police are blowing it out of proportion, if that makes sense.
