Scientists were so caught up with weather they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Ah, I see. You are thinking about the properly structured flowchart, not the humorously true one.

Yea, fair enough.

chasing the dragon

Huh. I guess it might be.

Far from my first game, but my first perfect game. Yea, I guess that does track.

Not a sequel. Just because it’s not Portal 1. The fact that it’s second is not the problem. The problem is that the first one was flawless.

Portal 1 was flawless. Portal 2 had a crucial flaw.

Specifically, it was not Portal 1. Everything else was perfect.

I don’t see that as a problem. I can easily get caught in that loop.

Other than that, it seems fairly accurate.

Tenth Amendment, might apply here.

Appreciate the heads up. I’m pretty sure it’s an AMD processor, but I don’t know about the video card.

Is Bazzite an OS that I would use, or is it a set of drivers that lets SteamOS play nice with Nvidia?

I’ve got a gaming laptop from a few years back. Republic of gamers, or some such nonsense.

Been thinking of switching to some brand of Linux. Seems like this might be a good way to try it out.

We should be concerned about endangered moths. Hard enough to get people to care about other people.

I find it hard to believe that it’s legal to buy a company, but not it’s contractual obligations. Seems line a hell of a loophole for getting out of things you don’t want to do.

They did make a medical, in very limited numbers, but I’m using the TNG Science/Engineering tricorder.

If I was her, I’d publish the threat and result in the place I hosted the mod, then nuke my own mod.

But I’m a spiteful little shit.

Very nice.

I have one of the TNG versions, and I am partway through refitting it work lights and electronics. I may even finish, someday.

Huh. Never realized chromebooks were priced that low.

Thanks for the correction.

when you’re exiled alone on an island…

50,000 corpses at Waterloo would debate this one with you.

Desks are cheaper, and the hole only slightly impairs functionality.

Again, this is not immediate self-defence, this is something else entirely: this type of situation demands systemic change.

I’m aware it’s not immediate self defence, that’s kind of the point of the question. How many people die while you work on that change? Why are ok killing to defend yourself now, but not to defend a hundred people tomorrow?

You remove them from authority then send them on their merry way to live out their standards alone, far from the rest of us.

And you hope they don’t come back with more people and a plan for revenge. Napoleon was sent off on his merry way. His return cost over 50,000 lives.

Friggin’ children know this already, if someone doesn’t play nice, you stop playing with them.

And what if they won’t let you stop playing with then? Children know bullies, too, and know that you can’t just ignore them.

Why the hell are we still debating the ““virtues”” of murder?!

Because you are unwilling to admit that some people need killing. Not very many, in my opinion. There are usually better options. But killing someone is the only way to be 100% sure that they stop hurting people.

There is no acceptable context for killing someone other than immediate self-defence

But you know he’s gonna kill a hundred people next week. Starve ten thousands people to death over the next six months. Start world war 3, and cause the death of millions of people. Those people people have no recourse to self defence, but you could defend them, right now.
