I even double checked to see if they distinguish between paramedics and firefighters and they don't list the staff separately. (All our firefighters are paramedics and the ambulance is run by the fire depts. I don't know how many operate solely as one or the other.)

Btw, you dropped a sentence in your third paragraph, unless it got fixed while I was writing this message. Edited to fix my voice to text

And I'm not sure whether its township taxes them, or if it's just getting county taxes and nothing separate.
It's just about how you slice the numbers then, the rich 12k resident village is counter balanced by the poorer ones. I think county as the category makes the most sense personally, not because the numbers line up in a particular way just because it seems like that's the most relevant to rates. Even my village has different rates depending on which county you end up in. (School districts play in too).
Neither of you would be wrong, it just depends on how you use the data.
Fwiw Naperville is the 4th largest city in the state (for folks unaware), calling it a town compared to a village like Winnetka made me giggle.

Please stop ascribing other motives to me when I've been explicit. Thanks.

More recently there was a YT channel with some very racist things posted that were removed.
But this is off topic and frankly you were quite rude to me and others about this a week ago, so I'm personally not really interested in engaging you further on this topic here.

Asking a question is not out of line. Vord has been around for a while and is well aware of the community.
My point here is that Vord didn't insult you or your motives, just asked some clarification about a famous person with a bad reputation.

DefinitelyNotAFae Link ParentYeah it's some decent shit that if it weren't a subscription based huge $ model it would be better. The fact the fee is tied to your speed not a monthly cost or something is diabolical.Yeah it's some decent shit that if it weren't a subscription based huge $ model it would be better.

Being Russian (and Jewish) is a cultural identity for Ivanova, but it doesn't "matter" to the Earth Alliance otherwise. She's just a citizen of Earth. Being from Mars or another colony would be a bigger distinction

She's still in deep grief and sadness and actively doesn't want to have to keep being alive. She isn't suicidal per se. She's just grieving so hard.
All of which to say, is that this is so tragic and I've seen how people can lose themselves in grief. May her memory endure.

The Government’s Growing Trove of Social Media Data | Brennan Center for Justice
It's hard to find a search term to find specifics, but it looks like they can detain your devices as a citizen and absolutely detain you as a non-citizen to investigate further. And anecdotally people are being harassed
The ACLU is definitely not having a field day with the current situation. They would rather be bored

There are some really good benefits of tractors with software that can map the field and ensure you don't accidentally run over crops because everything is planted just so.
It just sucks it's locked down by for-profit companies like that, because they're far too expensive to make
But also as someone whose washer and dryer connect to an app for some unknown reason, I would indeed like dumber stuff

One full week without an ER trip. A win.
The new personal assistant is excellent. A godsend.
I have a sovereign citizen student at work making their own life difficult. Everyone acts like the student is scary, I'm just concerned we'll have to physically evict them and that sucks.
And planning to go to the farmers market this weekend. SNAP gets doubled there with the extra being for fruits and veggies. And we're just starting to get some good produce.
