Encouraging cleanliness is not the point at all. The point is: "... policing methods that target minor crimes, such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking and fare evasion, help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. " Source.

In the specific case that OP is referring to with Giuliani and NYC: "Bratton directed the police to more strictly enforce laws against subway fare evasion, public drinking, public urination, and graffiti."

Nice. A completely toothless group of people performing a pointless and inconsequential exercise to determine whether someone everyone knows is unethical is, in fact, also unethical for doing this other thing.

I’m not defending the police here, but

Oh boy, here we go.

could this man have had a heart attack due to the presence of drugs or alcohol in his system, combined with the fact that his heart rate was elevated by resisting arrest

Totally. He could have also died from a brain aneurysm, aliens, a very advanced case of SIDS, or a witch's curse. Or, you know, maybe he died from the whole not being able to breathe thing that was actually happening.

He does not appear to be in good physical condition. I see that his stomach looks a little distended and he sort of waddles as he took steps around the bar area.

He didn't look like he was in great shape? Only fitness buffs and marathon runners with no booze in their systems get to live though being cuffed? Tf is wrong with you.

We don't compete with them

"Yes you do, and you're losing." Then walk out.

Why would he even bother with all of the red tape and process to pass laws? He would just issue ~~imperial edicts~~ executive orders to do whatever he wanted. Laws have never meant shit to him. And why would they? He breaks them with impunity and never faces any real consequences. If he has an unfriendly congress, he'll ignore them.

Sure, but the comic isn't talking about legit password usage systems. It's talking about how a comma could break the csv formatting of a csv file that came from a data breach and dump.

Boebert's family is like Sarah Palin's family if you sprinkled-in more meth and rape of minors.

Your comment is such a huge straw man argument, I'm naming it Scarecrow. Wtf are you on about, friend. The comment above yours made none of the assertions you're disagreeing with.

He’s trailer trash that just happens to have money.

Have had money. Past tense. He's flat broke now and probably spiraling in debt, especially now that New York is deleting his businesses there.

Gotta cut everyone some slack when estimating time since the pandemic. 3 years was 10 years ago.

I have this exact model, and I wish I didn't. It turns out there's a flaw in the logic that controls the heating elements. When in "Energy Saver" mode (the default mode), the lower heating element won't heat the water. So when you start to use the hot water, as the hot water goes out, the replacement cold water coming in isn't getting heated at the bottom. This drops the temperature of the existing hot water in the tank, and it takes several hours of no hot water use for the tank to get to your desired temp. For my family it means we get about 1 1/2 showers (showers last about 7 or 8 minutes) before the water starts coming out lukewarm. You can see this happening on your unit by activating the diagnostic mode on the panel and watching the lower element water temp.

I went several rounds with Rheem's customer support (including have two separate techs come to my house to inspect it) before someone finally acknowledged in writing that there's a known defect in the logic of the controller board. They tagged my unit as defective, but so far have not been able to replace it since they haven't engineered a fix and started producing a new version of the water heater with said fix.

My advice, stay away from Rheem hybrid water heaters for a while until they get it sorted out. Also, pro tip: Keep it on the "High Demand" mode so that it's always using electricity + heat pump to heat the water. That gives you the most aggressive heating profile and does not contain the flaw where the lower heater element won't activate. This was the advice their engineer gave me, and it's allowed us to have hot water for more than a shower or two.
