Why bring up ACAB in this situation? The police were not involved in either side of the shooting. Per the article’s description the rifleman pulled out a rifle and appeared to be readying to fire before a protest peacekeeper (not police) shot and injured him using a handgun. Unfortunately in the cross fire one protester was killed by the peacekeeper but it looks like this prevented a potential mass shooting event.

Weird how she’s off centre in a photo of her by herself.

I think it’s a good attitude to serve as a stepping stone away from bigotry, it appeals to the bigots by offering some common ground while giving them a path to becoming less outwardly bigoted. Social progress takes time, especially with attitudes engrained as much as homophobia used to be.

Uncles or fish is irrelevant, infinite anything with mass presumably fills the entire space of the universe immediately and collapses everything into a giant singularity.

Have any galaxies actually faded into darkness before? Considering our galaxy is basically the same age as the universe I find it hard to believe any galaxy has just run out of energy and gone dark.

I suppose you could interpret it as the galaxy leaving the observable universe, but that doesn’t have the same meaning to me.

A while ago I kept a shortcut in the taskbar that ran a batch file that killed any unresponsive task, worked even on those tasks that Task Manager can’t seem to close. As long as explorer was still running and I could alt tab and press that button it worked 100% of the time

This source is including many more causes of death not included in the US number. The average annual direct killings by the US police is 1096 (33.1 per 10 million), while the UK is 3 (0.5 per 10 million), about 66 times worse per capita.

The Louisiana law gon’ get you Amos

It’d be better not to have that option, to avoid going the way of Reddit with karma farming bots reposting everything so they can sell their high karma accounts.

It was something like this. It would just kill all tasks that haven’t responded in X amount of time. Obviously this is not a great solution as it can cause data loss and you could accidentally close more than just the program you intend to close, but sometimes you have little choice.

Engagement rings have been a thing for almost two thousand years. You’re probably thinking of diamond engagement rings, which have been around since The Renaissance but weren’t widely popularised until De Beers started pushing them in 1938.

It’s the path that maximises time, not distance. Technically the path that maximises time could look the same as the path that minimises distance, they could just sit down and wait decades until a minute before they die of natural causes and then get up and head to the end, and that’s assuming that they need to arrive alive.

The one in October 2022 (9 months after the invasion) or the one in July 2023 (17 months after the invasion)?

Presenting…

It wasn’t something I kept running, just a shortcut that would run the batch file and kill anything that wasn’t responding at the time. I’m not sure if this uses the same command I had set up at the time, but I remember it having a 100% success rate. I had it for one game in particular which would crash and stop responding but any attempts to get to the task manager (even with keyboard) would fail.

I haven’t had to use anything like this since Windows 10 as now you can just press Windows+Tab and move the task to a different desktop and then get into the task manager on your original desktop.

It’s a South Chicago based newspaper, what do you expect?

I like how the I turned into a Z and the Z turned into an I.

There are only about 20,000 ICE agents, even if you only count Democrat voters in 2024 ICE is outnumbered 1:3750.
