It kind of a tough balance. Yes, unrestricted tech use is an issue for young children but on the other hand using tech while young is the best way to make it a natural part of your experience of the world and tech isn’t going away. If you go to the other extreme and say no whatever sort of tech period before a certain age are you setting the kid back against more tech literate peers? There’s also the consideration that’s been discussed around alcohol forever. By making it an “adult thing” and effectively a rite of passage to drink alcohol do you cause more problems and abuse in young adults than if it was always a part of their experience and the focus was on responsible use instead of total abstinence?

You don’t fuck corpses at work? Your funeral home must be one of them fancy ones.

This is off topic and I hope that you take it in the spirit offered. I can never decide if it’s rude or helpful but the intent is to be helpful.

Teach is one of a handful of words in English that doesn’t follow the normal rules for it’s past tense form. The past tense for teach is taught. I honestly can’t tell you how to identify which words use a different form for their past tense. I think it’s just something that you learn through experience.

That’s legal in the US so a guide to internet piracy certainly would be.

If you want to be overly cautious you can write it as a guide to using the exact same process to download media that’s already passed into the public domain. Nothing illegal about downloading things that aren’t protected by copyright. That the same process can be used to download pirated media is just a coincidence.

I don’t know anything about relevant laws in the EU, Czech Republic, or Germany.

Yeah but they didn’t limit the buffer. You had to wait 15min for it to load but once it did you could watch a whole low quality video file straight through with no shuddering or stopping.

Hemp derived THC was unintentionally made legal in a 2018 farm bill. These products have been available pretty much nationwide since then.

NASA is definitely a target. Musk wants to make SpaceX America’s privatized space agency.

People don’t revere the framers, they treat our founding mythos similarly to religion. They embrace what they like and what reinforces their beliefs while ignoring things that they find inconvenient. Primarily they ignore that very little was universally agreed upon by our framers and that the Constitution is the result of significant compromise. When someone says, “The framers believed…” they are almost always wrong and actually only framing what they believe in a way that they think gives it more credibility.

Is it bad that I get most of my non-local news from foreign sources? I do look at the AP and NPR but I usually go to the BBC or Reuters first and I almost always check the CSM for international stories I want more information on.

If I were in the friend’s position I doubt I would have gotten a close enough look to differentiate. The autopsy said the victim had “multiple chop wounds” including to the skull so it was probably a machete or ax attack. With lots of long deep wounds and blood there wasn’t much chance he was alive when the friend found him so it’s plausible that the friend didn’t actually go into the campsite, just saw the blood and assumed it was a bear because what other animal could do that much damage.

There are lots of special considerations for a legal standpoint concerning Native Americans because technically they compromise several semi-sovereign nations within the US’s borders. Some of the treaties the US signed with them during westward expansion are still enforceable.

Sorority House Massacre 2 is one of my absolute favorite films. The final line in the film is my favorite in all of cinema.

After that I’m a big fan of Pam Grier and enjoy most of her movies but I think Coffy is my favorite.

Every Troma movie is worth watching. Toxie is a great superhero and we really need a crossover. Toxie should be in the Justice League, he’s already an Avenger! The Class of Nukem High movies are standouts but I think Surf Nazis Must Die is probably my favorite Troma movie.

Edit to add: Death Proof was good but I preferred Planet Terror. To be fair though I’ve never seen a movie by either Tarentio or Rodriguez that I didn’t enjoy.

The people who most benefit from DNA ancestry are people who want to know where they came from but documentation is scarce or non-existent. In the US that group is primarily composed of the descendents of slaves. It can also help people descendent of native groups who only know that they are from some native people of North America identity a particular tribe.

Yes, I edited my comment to fix the spelling. Thanks for letting me know about the error.

The DNA match that the author claims is very suspect. Here is a good article about why. The bullet points are:

Shawl: There was no contemporary documentation that the shawl was recovered from the crime scene

There was no contemporary documentation that the Inspector that supposedly took the shawl and gifted it to his wife was at the crime scene

The shawl was silk and had an expensive design making it unlikely that Eddowes would have owned it

DNA: The DNA collected and compared was mitochondrial DNA which is far less unique than nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA is generally considered exclusory rather than inclusory

The shawl was not kept free from contamination, descendents of both the identified victim and the identified suspect are known to have handled the shawl prior to testing

On top of the problematic DNA match from his last book the author is now layering on conspiracy theories concerning Freemasons and antisemitism for his new book to draw even more questionable conclusions.

Edited to fix link and spelling

The request would be made to the court during discovery and, if it was granted, the test would be done by an independent lab. The department could lose/destroy the evidence before it could be tested but that would likely prevent the evidence from being used at trail and it’s hard to prosecute someone for a drug offence if you can’t tell the jury that you found drugs. Ultimately it’s not a great plan anyway. If they didn’t find any finger prints then the prosecutor will find some “expert” to testify that drug dealers always wipe down their baggies and wear gloves, if they only find the officer’s finger prints then he’ll testify that he accidentally handled it without gloves while logging it into evidence.

The Fat Electrician’s video was great but he I feel left out a couple of things that I think are important to add. First is that he used his influence in the Russian court to advocate for the end of the surf system. Slavery was his primary focus but he actively opposed all forms of indentured servitude and was involved in the freeing of more forced laborers than any other single individual in history. Also he negotiated the purchase of Alaska.

Second is Clay’s Battalion. When the Civil War began Washington DC was undefended and there was an order to evacuate because of fears that Virginia would get soldiers there before the Federal Army. Clay was in Washington to be appointed as the ambassador to Russia and, during the evacuation, he started grabbing men off the street to defend the capital. He organized about 300 defenders and occupied the White House and the Navy Yard until federal troops arrived to take over.

There should be outrage if everyone walks away from this without any real consequences, there was significant negligence and disregard for safety on the movie set and it resulted in a death. This conviction should be overturned anyway. There isn’t even the illusion of fairness or justice when the state is allowed to hide and even destroy evidence as they have in this case. For the state to strip rights and freedoms from a person it is incumbent upon the state to prove that the person has committed the crimes of which they have been accused and to do so in a fair and open process.

I’d suspect the nationality of the individual may play a role.

I’m not convinced. Kevorkian was acquitted 3 times and had one mistrial for basically the exact same thing back in the 90s and US opinion has continued to soften on assisted suicide since then. It’s legal in 10 states. Kevorkian was eventually convicted of 2nd degree murder but that was after he pushed the button for a patient and represented himself in court. Maybe Swiss officials are giving it undue scrutiny because she was American but I doubt that American officials are pushing for this to get any special attention.
