"Many same-sex friends had these. We believe it was a sign to show they were just roommates"

What a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. My takeaways are it could possibly be used for knitting, but traditional spool knitting that the Grandma uses in the video doesn't show up in history until the 1500s. If the Romans did use it for gloves then knitting has been around much longer than we have evidence of or they were using a different method with the dodecahedron.

Jesse Plemons character in one of the Fargo seasons did this.

I'm struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don't think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.

I agree with you. Every time I see someone mention progressive or liberal on here it's always referring to them in a right-leaning context. Seems like an effort to destabilize the meaning of a word to cause confusion.

Hopefully he's just biding his time and giving him enough rope to hang himself with.

So far Merchan has not seemed like a pushover in this trial and right now I trust he knows what he's doing.

It's important to acknowledge the complexities of urban governance and the diverse approaches taken by different cities, regardless of political affiliation. While some cities may have policies that prioritize law enforcement and anti-homeless measures, others may take alternative approaches focused on community outreach, social services, and harm reduction. Each city faces unique challenges and adopts policies accordingly. If you have specific examples or cases you'd like to discuss, feel free to share, and we can explore them further.
