The DOD Law of War Manual agrees - it literally uses this as the example of illegal orders you shouldn’t follow (see page 1088). media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/...

I went back and looked again and the bike rack I thought was new or bigger across from Aldi is just unchanged. This one is just gone (though the no parking sign that used to serve it remains 🤣). I don’t see a reason why this would be removed to serve the project - construction access is interior.

You didn’t miss it. It appears to have been… removed. I wonder if what I thought was the city adding one further west was actually just the city moving this. Heavy sigh.

For the record, the answer was Pokemon (beating Leader Arlo on the first try). But I also found myself a 311 ticket to make for an extremely ineffective No Parking sign 🤣

Why does my Google video search look like this? I was just searching for an Abigail Spanberger video to show my kid. The first 6 links are all Glenn Youngkin/Winsome Sears rage bait.

Absolutely block the daylighting here good sir. It’s illegal for others so as to ensure convenient parking while you pick up your food. Certainly has nothing to do with the visibility of children in the crosswalk leading to that school there. Carry on.

I think I could do at least four more. I didn’t touch the panniers.

Now that I have done this crossing the beltway ride, this is definitely the scariest spot. Cars in theory have a red while I have a green and a crosswalk but they are looking left and trying to dart right and in no way expecting me to be there. Needs no right on red to be safe. Fauxlexandria right?

Guys remember how YDBF just found out about the abuse in July?!
The affidavit + warrant they were served in January says otherwise.
Based on 17 videos of abuse from April of 2023 - November of 2024, Kevin Sanders is specifically named, and it alleges “management is allowing it to continue”
