  • I wish I could erase my memory of House M.D. and watch that masterpiece all over again. There isn't a shitty episode. Not one.

  • Oh my god I did not know! Thaaaaank youuu.

  • I accept your correction, but in my defence, since the USA is ran by the unaccountable Epstein et al, I'd say that my comment still applies. If not even more so.

  • Wait until you find out drones are used for patrols too.

    Outside this makes total sense. Inside, not at all. And I say this as a quadcopter pilot myself.

  • “Its not perfect, therefore no effort should be expended toward any possible harm reduction”

    Non sequitur fallacy and then some. Not only didn't I say "it's not perfect", I said it's completely stupid such as what's depicted in the illustration above. I also didn't say "no effort should be expended", in fact, my first sentence proves the contrary: most efforts should be concentrated on the root causes. And the last sentence quotes the article, symptomatic measures should be prevention, e.g., patrol. Money towards these drones can be spent far more wisely.

    1. The point is that the terrifying systemic problem of school shooters should be tackled at its root causes, not merely suppressing symptoms. It's beyond absurd that schools in the US have become institutions of normalized violence.
    2. Going to another room and closing the door renders any drone "not very effective…" School shooters have nothing left to lose. These drones are an extremely expensive yet stupid way of defusing such people. From the article:

    The drones can remain airborne for about eight minutes on a single battery chargeI know the US is plagued by obesity, but I'm pretty sure the average shooter can outrun a drone for more than 8 minutes inside a building. What a bad joke. This is simply about signing contract deals for weapons manufacturers because everything about this screams poor taste.However, not everyone is convinced the drones are the right approach.

    That includes Tony Montalto, whose 14-year-old daughter Gina Montalto was among the 17 people killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida. He told WPTV: “These drones aren’t patrolling – they just pop up when needed. So that’s part of the problem. We need to focus on the prevention piece rather than the reaction piece.”

  • Just like fighting gym leader Brock with Charmander.

  • They keep pushing for chat control but can't even check usernames. On top of that conclude it with witch hunt madness. Brandon Klayme deserves a significant financial compensation and a profuse public apology.

  • At least is quite the understatement. F#%$#$% chaos machine failings at 95%.

  • Categorized as "entertainment".

  • Anything non-corrupt coming from the USA should be Surprise Pikachu memed from now on.

  • Hope you got some lush greenery near you as well.

  • I take pictures of insects to deal with this perpetual nonsense. In the forest things make sense again: https://www.smetterling.eu/, enjoy.

  • you won’t be able to watch videos on Zen if you’re on Windows.

    Videos work fine.

  • The Firefox forks that I use:

    • LibreWolf ships with uBlockOrigin by default.
    • Zen browser for power users who want lots of out of the box features and customization. An especially excellent browser for users who migrate from Vivaldi. Caveat, as with most feature-rich things, the line between bloat and feature can be a bit blurred.
  • If anyone could provide an AMD email to ask for a statement concerning this issue, that would be nice.
