Sounds reasonable. For every day they spend in jail, count it as an additional day toward their sentence on top of the calendar day.

It is in the sense that vehicle traffic shouldn't be next to pedestrian areas, eliminating the opportunity for such an event to happen in the first place. At a minimum, there should be strong bollards, because mechanical failures can and do happen.

Now I'm curious as to how many people outside the US vote for American candidates as write-in votes.

That makes sense. I've seen the same behavior as OP. Usually when it happens, I open the Bitwarden app manually, and naturally when I switch back the detection is working normally again.

Time to stock up on veil-piercing ammo.

Like actually seizes, or just stands on and holds up a flag just long enough for a photo? Because every country does that for disputed islands.

If the current administration and ICE weren’t in direct violation of the Constitution

Or even basic human decency

In what world is taking a child with cancer away from either her parents or treatment not callous?

Either they've cut off contact or just biding time until they can.

Don't put them in the city at all, even in a tunnel. If you're going into the city, park and take transit. (Edit: my complaint here is personal; Boston had an interstate running through it, which they buried, and then put a four-to-six-lane road on top of it where there was supposed to be green space.)

Yeah, I know some people can't do that because they're working and need tools, e.g. plumbers, but if we get all the casual drivers on transit it's good enough.

I mean that's still creepy and probably grounds for a restraining order

Yes, but you're mixing several points here, primarily environmental and direct harm. Car-centric city design is harmful, but a highway doesn't up and kill people one day in the same way that a driver hitting someone with their car does.

The other thing you're mixing into this one comment is the attribution of harm, the "car plows into crowd" thing. Yes, the car didn't do it, a driver drove their car into the crowd. Having the reporting properly attribute the action is a separate issue from the actions themselves.
