Fbi can cut local authorities out of federal investigations, but at the state level hes still guilty of murder

A coworker was trying to tell me she clearly intentionally tried to ram him and she watched the video proving it.

Weird, because the videos I've seen all show a cowardly piece of shit trying to block a car so he can justify cold blooded murder.

"Have you tried turning it off and back on?"

"yes, obviously that was THE FIRST thing I tried"

Random thought just popped into my head for no reason I can think of: if you know someone's name, and the county they own property in, you can visit their county records (many even have publicly accessible websites) and find the exact plots of land tied to their name!

I managed to track down the former property owner of the place I live now to their new house in another state, since they intentionally hid a bunch of issues from the buyer before the sale that ended up costing nearly half the price of the house and the realtors decided to ignore me when I attempted to get in contact.

All I did was look up "[County I knew remembered they were moving to from overheard conversations during the buying process] county property records" and the rest was super straightforward.

Remember you can slightly control the circumstances of the person whose name you wrote down, so it's entirely possible to have them become a serial killer and methodically go through their fellow SS until finally dying from being dragged under a flaming bus filled with proud boys and gasoline.

You know, as just a random example.

It's been a hell of a year, huh.

It should be legal to rub sand into their eyes if they try to block you.

Hey we could also take a page from their book (not the one they claim to follow, the one the actually follow) and start running them down in fear for our lives.

The only thing there that should be censored. Fuck r*ddit.

Electronics function better when colder (to a point) so they need to keep the electronics cool.

Instead of large cooling towers and a more enclosed system, a lot are just sucking up cool municipal water, and dumping hot water out wherever they feel like.

Too bad the wolves didn't win.

I finally picked it up on sale over the holidays, and I gotta say it was super jarring to me to play the (nomad) intro and BAM 6 months later and you're tossed into the middle of things.

Even like a 30 minute montage-like mission where you meet important people the first time, do some light stuff, and get a little more familiar with the mechanics.

I've been enjoying the game so far, and would have liked a more extended intro.

I think it's more like "you can feel your tongue inside your mouth and nowhere is comfortable" kind of thing.

You can always feel your tongue, but you aren't always aware of it.

Forgive them

Nah. Just forget them.

No, it absolutely isn't.

It violated our own laws, international laws, and as far as I'm concerned it's both an act of war, and possibly a literal war crime (please, anyone with more knowledge than me weigh in on that last one) and every other country should treat ours accordingly. We broadcast to the world that it's do what our leader wants or we will take whatever we feel like.

Heck we did that decades ago, but now we aren't even lying about it.

(not disagreeing with anyone, simply making observations from experience)

A German zweihander sword weighs around 8lbs, a gallon of milk is around 7. A typical hand and a half sword around 4, and a rapier can be as light as 2lbs easily.

The issue isn't really the weight though in my opinion, it's where the weight is distributed.

A gallon of milk is concentrated in a pretty small package that you can hold close to your own center of gravity.

A sword is long and it's weight, by design, is usually not close to the hilt of the blade. I'm not 100% sure on historic examples, but I try to keep the weight centered around 1/3 up the length of the blade on ones I make.

Practical upshot is that a lighter sword will flop around and stab people easier than a gallon of milk is dropped due to weight.

If you want a child to be accidentally dangerous, give them a sword. If you want them to be dangerous on purpose, give them a fixed blade knife under 7in.

You already have enough microplastics in your brains, and the layer lines are bacterial breeding grounds. (which are less of a concern if you only use it once or twice but is still relevant)

Make sure you get a good coat of leaded paint to make sure none of that is a problem.

I've been shot, I've been stabbed, I've had thousands of pounds of aluminum fall straight toward me and get caught in the last half meter, I've had semis clip my clothing while on a bike and send me flying, I've been pushed off the road by shitty carbrains who can't share anything, and I've been told I have less than a week before most of my organs shut down.

I've thought I was going to die many times. And not once did I think anything other than "huh. So this is it". Most of the I was laughing afterward, and I'm not 100% why except maybe a nervous response.

Ultimately I don't know if I'm emotionally prepared to die, but there's things I am absolutely willing to die for. I'd rather NOT die, but I'd say I am accepting of it.

Uhhhhhhh I'm not actually sure I answered your question, sorry.

I fully expect oil companies to convince governments to tax their citizens 150% to subsidize their new oil wells, just so they can continue looking for and opening new ones LONG after it ceases to be profitable.

It's like conservatives and democracy. They're okay with it as long as they can keep "winning" but when they can't win anymore, they won't change their behavior, they'll stop using democracy.

I'd argue we already passed that point for both conservatives (in most major countries) AND oil company profits.

The cost of dealing with fossil fuels has been far outweighing the cost of using them, and has been for many many decades. If our species makes it that long, our grandchildren's grandchildren's great great great grandchildren will still be dealing with our mistakes.

I support this action and condemn any potential punishments.

Besides, from what I read, she didn't illegally cross the border.
