Hopefully. Can you believe what the left has done to frogs?

Ah, mais en France car goes «vroum vroum»

I think we agree, we're just coming at it from different places, and I was being quite vague at trying to play devil's advocate.

In this hypothetical, one person makes it out alive and we have no other contextual info. There isn't a moral value assigned to that event in a vacuum, because a biological imperative - the instinct to preserve one's own life - both precedes and precludes morality.

In hindsight, we can apply our moral judgement and decide if that killing was "justified", but it's a messy, fraught process with mixed results and nothing gained. At the moment of one killing another, the killed is reduced to their biological imperative to stay alive. They do what any animal would do in that moment and, though we try, it's futile to think we can consistently overlay morality on whatever outcome results.

In the spirit of the OP, there's an argument to be made against killing which doesn't invoke religious dogma or a higher power. You could say it's wrong because to do so reduces the victim to their biological, physical animal core, and stripping their humanity is not just in itself wrong, it precludes the clean application of a moral judgement in the future.

Even in the case of killing someone we've decided is "bad", no matter how bad the victim might have been, all of that falls away when they are threatened with inescapable death. So it's not ever justified.

We used to have elevator operators

Why shouldn't they? Margins are going to be tight btw, so they're really not. What they're really selling is a vehicle for Steam.

BTW, try putting together a same or better spec build yourself and get back to us with the cost.

Wot, even

might be necessary

If it's truly necessary, there's no option to run - no alternatives - it's your life or theirs.

You're goddamn right I do

I mean how do we know the content is human written and AI-read rather than wholly generated?

Right but how do we know?

Right? I want to live in a world where politicians campaign on destroying jobs, not creating them.

Speaking of that, it's been a little while since I've heard anyone claim to be a big "job creator".

"Mountain climbing" is a generic term. It doesn't refer to a specific activity. I've climbed plenty of mountains. Half of them were a nice, leisurely 1-3 hour hike requiring nothing more than a free afternoon, a water bottle and a day pack with a couple snacks.

I'm kind of confused by the responses here. Idk if you guys just need to go outside more, or maybe I'm just spoiled, as at least half of the cities and towns where I'm at have at least one local peak. A lot of them are glorified hills with a good view. Many of them don't even have a view, but it's still fun to go up, be in nature, and see the different habitats, zones, and natural features as you go up. This is a casual activity for a great number of people. Some mountains even have actual paved roads/paths that gently take you up, but I prefer trails, unless I'm on my bike.

"Mountain climbing" doesn't have to equate to Everest/K2/etc. There are a vast number of levels to it. There are still dangers to what I do at my preferred level, but the life-threatening stuff typically only happens on much bigger mountains.

They certainly are

Oyster Farm has my vote

ravelry[dot]com has lots of patterns (free and for sale) which match these. Judging by the age on some of those patterns on that site, this image has made the rounds for years.

Entertainment budget. Every day I walk down to the tracks, retrieve the smushed penny from yesterday, admire it for a moment and set another one on the rails

Hikes definitely need gear. A water bottle is gear

This is the second time I've come across this story.

If you look closely, random people are not being taken aside for being seen with a Pixel as the headline would have you believe.

What is true is that Graphene OS on a Pixel is a popular, easy setup that can't be cracked open with Cellebrite et al., and that makes the piggies very sad. Methinks someone wants readers to fear using Graphene OS.

Not that I don't agree, but It's literally a screenshot of a CNN broadcast

YouTube supremacy?
