I like city-states, they're my favorite part of fantasy novels.

Are you referring to the sheriff, or the lady who called 911 for seemingly no reason. Honestly, if that lady was a local, I'd probably want to keep an eye on her cuz she probably calls in every little thing trying to get people in trouble. Had a neighbor like that.

Holy fuck, I never registered that that was the acronym for it.

There is enforcement, if you don't have enough income or if you have the wrong skin tone-

I mean, they deserve to make a liveable wage regardless of whether someone tips.

I might call the non-emergency line for things, like if my car was stolen or house broken into. I think the only time I'd call the emergency line is if I felt actively in danger.

Calling the police is a lot like firearm training, never call them on something you don't intend to kill.

So this is the 'mechanical hound' that RayBradbury was referring to in Farenheit 451.

I hate the ones that are listed as remote, but when you read deeper it says remote - in x location, if there was a way to filter those out of searches, it would be convenient.

If they do it like Paramount I'm all for it. I like just throwing on the Star Trek channel rather than deciding what episode of which series I want to watch. That's part of why I get so much use out of Plex's Live TV channels. Only difference is paramount doesn't have ads on their channels

I mean if they've been there for two years I'm sure that means they've learned how to purify water at least to a drinkable state, but also, has the rescue beacon even been working.

I bet the dude never actually turned it on and has just pretended he did, playing the long game to get the lady to wanna spend time with him.

Are you referring to the foundation president Mark Surman or the corporation CEO Laura Chambers? She seems to be an interim position holder, so I guess whatcha referring to?

Great now do Intuit.
