Lol if you drag the China country to the South Pole it glitches and then covers the rest of the world minus Antarctica. 😊

If by slightly you mean nearly 20%, I believe that’s only because of Alaska, then it would be smaller. The real crazy huge one is modern day Russia which is easily double Australia and almost 80% larger than the United States.

In seconds? I get 363.61 days doing that.

Right, what’s ‘Dutch’?

Oh wow, I obviously didn’t read the article. Shame on me. Had no idea they had that few on staff.

Interesting to hear about Brook’s Law. Thanks!

From what I’ve read about their Daily Active Users they’re going to be overstaffed soon. No hate but they exploded and when things settle they might not need as much staff. Thoughts?

I’m at a point where I wish our support forum was at least on Discord, the majority of my community is pretty old but it spans down into a handful of Gen Z with more Millennials and Z coming in as the Boomers get out. Even so the main forum is a Facebook page. Splinter groups using WhatsApp, Signal and iMessage. It’s not like the older gen is technically inept, for the most part, it’s just they’re entrenched and moving them would take a massive, easy to use software that is far superior to FB’s viability. Personally using Discord and it’s seamless jump from PC-Laptop-Phone is nice, admittedly I’m in the same mindset of those in my groups on FB as I haven’t tried anything else.

Well they lost both engines. Hopefully that’s what they focus on in the investigation.

Nobody, “It’s just a prank bro!”.

I’m glad you wrote this because it was exactly what I needed to wrap my head around it too.

Am I the only one who thinks ‘terminates’ isn’t the best synonym for fired with this employer?

Imagine a crime free Gotham. Living in fear not of a Batman that caused physical harm when he catches you breaking the law, but he does follow you around peeing on you until he finds another crook.

I can’t be certain by I’d wager that’s Hollywoodism seeping through. Either the podcast is wrong or the dispatch/officer on duty has it wrong. The first 48 hours are the most vital in finding a missing person, they would not want to waste half of that as procedure.

Edit: I don’t want you to just believe some rando online. Here’s some sources:

This edit isn’t me trying to prove I’m right, more to just accurately educate. Hope the information is never needed!!

This is hilarious.

Name them, they need their SOP redone. I have never heard of this in real life and I would bet it’s a bad officer/dispatcher following Hollywood rules rather than their unit policy.

Not comparing, we have our own issues, but the US just said not wearing a mask in public is akin to not paying taxes or speeding - it’s still illegal and not free speech because it affects others.

I mean it’s the best thing for police Hollywood has ever done. The inverse is wait 24 hours to file a missing person report.

He was going to piss down the shower drain rather than use the litter box.
