Order overseas. Problem solved

They’re cracking down on this big time. I did this to get a cheaper med and it was confiscated at the border. I received two letter letters from the feds. The first one scared the living shite out of me. One was to tell me it was confiscated in the documents I needed to provide if I wanted to appeal. That letter also said it would be destroyed after 30 days I believe. The second letter stated that it was destroyed. The medicine has to be unavailable here or it has to be a continuation of treatment from overseas. And you have to provide documentation.

If it’s under a certain amount of dollars, they’re basically just going to destroy it with no repercussions. At least for your first offense. I don’t know what mine was, but it was definitely under $100.

PJ Media is generally classified as a right-wing, conservative commentary and news website, rather than a neutral or objective news outlet. It is owned by the Salem Media Group, which specializes in conservative content.

Here is a breakdown of its characteristics:
Political Bias: The site is heavily conservative and produces opinion-driven, rather than objective, reporting.

Reliability & Accuracy: According to data from Ad Fontes Media, PJ Media has a low reliability score, with content often characterized by sensationalized headlines and, at times, inaccurate or unverified information.

Why are they in a homeless camp.in Minnesota when the tribe is in S Dakota?

So a squad of Indians leaves their tribal land and participate in attacks on federal forces?

Not sure where you get that.
All of the new stories said they were picked up at a homeless encampment
And homeland security is not giving much info

quote:

The president of Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota on Tuesday called for the immediate release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota last week.

Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling, President Frank Star Comes Out said in a statement released with a memorandum sent to federal immigration authorities.

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,’” Star Comes Out said. “Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.” Details about the circumstances that led to their detention were unclear.

quote:

Last year, elected leaders in the Navajo Nation said that tribal citizens in Arizona and New Mexico reported being stopped and detained by ICE officers. In November, a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona who had been arrested in Iowa was mistakenly scheduled to be deported before the error was caught and she was released.

quote:

In the memorandum sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Star Comes Out said the when tribal nation reached out to the agency it was provided with only the first names of the men. Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe “entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.”

As previously stated multiple times, I wholeheartedly support the legal deportation of illegal immigrants. I do not, however, support the detainment or deportation of American citizens.

I'm sure most states haven't updated their laws for this. The Cadillacs, GMCs, and Denalis with the Super Cruise system will not operate if someone isn't in the driver's seat. It periodically checks that the person in that seat is awake (I think it is smart enough to recognize if a person's eyes are closed, if they are using their seatbelt, and checks every couple of minutes for them being awake). Technically I think it could handle most routes, but the lawyers at that company have clearly influenced the programming and hardware decisions. I think Tesla's system works in a similar way but is more ballsy from a legal standpoint. 'm sure that it could handle a long distance with no driver at all if allowed. May run into trouble with curb cuts, alleys, or driveways but so would a sober teenaged girl. Even in most Teslas, I think the car also knows if someone is in the operator's seat and if they are alert. And there's always the risk that a cop sees a "driver" passed out in the passenger seat, but how do they pull the darn thing over? Now Waymo is a different story. Zoox would be too if they ever figured out how to make the tech work. Those vehicles are for hire, and drunk college kids and tourists in places like Vegas are a big part of their future market. Here is an example of a 2021 Cadillac that has an optics feature built into the steering wheel. Notice the green light at the top of the steering wheel to indicate that the system is active. The tiny black monitor device below it, right above the air bag is what periodically scans the driver being awake and not asleep or having a newspaper in front of their face - it can detect the heat signature of a person, and it can't be tricked easily with an Airplane! style blow up doll. Supposedly it can see through polarized sunglasses too. I could be wrong because this tech is moving so damn fast right now. I'm fairly certain that Tesla has a similar driver monitor system, but IMO it's a bit cleaner looking and less "lawyer engineered" than the Cadillac system. I also think that Cadillac/GMC advertise what their system can do very clearly while Tesla tends to under sell the full capabilities once they become available (meaning the Teslas can do a little more than what is advertised), and Teslas seem to be updated more regularly. I do think we are at a point right now where these systems likely could technically drive people to and from most addresses without any input though. There are legal and regulatory hurdles that would have to change for that full self driving tech to be available for use without any operator in private motor vehicles. I'm sure that we will see these hurdles removed in many places within the next couple of years in some states though. I think Tesla is the leader right now, with GM being second best. GM has a slightly smoother approach with the lidar mapping and onboard systems working together (slightly better hardware platform), but they limit themselves to use on highways and major roads, state routes, etc. and not secondary streets. Telsa will just roll on any public road which is fricking awesome and ballsy IMO. You could have your Tesla drive down a residential street and watch it dodge parked cars and stray dogs. Once you pull onto a residential street, the Cadillac will start warning and buzzing you to put your hands on the wheel at that point and to find your own damn driveway. BMW, Hyundai, and Ford are not far behind GMC/Cadillac. Which makes sense considering they are massive companies with a huge R&D budget. I think the smaller companies like Mazda or Nissan are investing in this space but aren't as polished as the other options yet. I have no idea what Lucid and Rivian are doing. I really don't follow them very much except one of my neighbors has a Lucid. It's a sweet looking car. I guess my age will show with this. I'm not sure if I'd trust any system to drive me home completely without at least passively monitoring it in places like south Louisiana (with so many shitty roads/bridges, faded pavement markings, road debris, and bodies of water to drive into) or Pittsburgh (with cliffs and equally shitty roads/bridges). What I'd like to see is for heavy trucks to be outfitted with tech like Tesla's autopilot or GM's Super Cruise. Then we slowly phase in extended driving hours for freight haulers that are using these automated cruise systems, since it will reduce fatigue and improve their driving performance even when they are tired or frustrated with traffic.

This is the dissertation I was looking for. PhD in self driving cars awarded. :cheers:

Same result. It’s looking for an awake and engaged driver in the driver seat. It can track your eye movement, head direction, mouth movement, etc. it’ll know pretty quick. You used to be able to fool the steering wheel sensor with a weight but that doesn’t work with the camera AI now.

Even in the backseat? Well then what’s the use of a driverless car? Who’s it going to drive?
quote:

Yes. States are already passing or crafting laws regarding this. You have to be able to drive.

That doesn’t seem fair.
As long as the person is not driving and maybe in the backseat. What’s the difference in taking one of those driverless taxis?
quote:

You used to be able to do that but not anymore. That driver monitoring is too good. It would just pull over.

Did not know that. Let’s say backseat.
Just watched the video in the other thread about that drinking faculty member who said she was fine to drive because she’s in a Tesla. Like that makes a difference :lol:

Got me to thinking. What would happen if someone was obviously drunk and, not only in their own self driving car, but in the back seat. And the car gets in a wreck or gets pulled over for whatever reason. With the police have a case for DUI?

Or even if they were in the driver seat and put it in self driving mode and were just sleeping.

According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Hayford and Menees are accused of locking a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old in a chicken pen and using BB guns to shoot at them.

quote:

Charging documents stated the couple gave the children drugs and alcohol and refused to feed or house them. The reported abuse took place between January 2023 and December 2025.

The sheriff’s office said that evidence suggested a pattern of ongoing abuse, including the couple holding organized “fight nights” at a child’s birthday party, where the children were forced to fight one another. Charges against Hayford and Menees include kidnapping, endangering the welfare of a child, abuse or neglect of a child and domestic assault.

The kid that saw it in the bathroom called his mother and his mother called the school. My son is also a freshman there. My son’s friend was in the class when they came in and arrested the kid. The kid was a football player and a pretty good one. He had the loaded gun on him.

If he was in the bathroom and called his mother and she said I’m calling the school right now, then that seems appropriate.

But I don’t think we know that he did not leave the bathroom and also alert a school official.

To arrest federal agents? When those said agents are enforcing the law?

Only if they are breaking the law.
