The cop was behind a car and is supposed to be a trained professional. Why didn't he just duck? The camera shot clearly shows that he had that option. Sorry, but the hard part about being "the good guys" is that you don't get to shoot first when you're too far away to verify your target. If you shoot first, you're just another goon with a gun and innocent people end up dead.
The lot of them were literally tools. They were the tools of an outraged gamer getting disproportionate revenge against the wrong target over a couple dollars.
The police should ask themselves "were we a force for good that night?". Considering that an innocent man was shot dead while doing nothing, the answer can only be NO. They were not a force for good that night.
Rather than making excuses, the police need to be explaining how they will change their response so that never happens again.
You may be unaware that folk rules of thumb very rarely go through a $2 million vetting process to make sure autistic language lawyers can't nit-pick it.
It's only telling in that it tells how rarely a typical person needs a mile of something customarily measured in yards. That's the thing about customary measures. They tend to be most convenient for measures most people need most of the time. Less so for things not often needed.
Probably because any coal plant operating normally but under the same regulation as nuclear would be shut down and added to the list of radiation accidents. They would all appear above TMI in severity.
The first 3 were for weapons production and military research, not nuclear power generation. The 4th and 5th released no radiation outside of the plant. The radiation involved in TMI was insignificant and left no contamination. (Look closely at those "studies", they're right up there with the nonsense stories of radiation turning cows inside out). The 6th did indeed kill 2 people. As you say with Fukushima. Though note that during the careful monitoring of populated areas after the accident, the one that raised the most eyebrows turned out to be someone storing an old radium paint set in Tokyo.
Now add up black lung, mining cave ins, and a whole town in Pennsylvania destroyed by an ongoing coal mine fire.
As to the original statement, if we add the likely intended qualifier "in the general public", it's looking pretty good.
So you're saying the washing machine I got rapaired under warrenty simply doesn't exist? I've been piling my clothes on the utility room floor for 2 hours and then throwing them in the dryer all these years?
It shouldn't have taken as much effort as it did to find the repair manual for future reference, and the spare parts should be a lot easier for end users to order.
To be fair, most of the tier 1 people can't do anything that's not in the flip book. That is, they can guide you to reboot the router. They can giude you to reboot Windows. If you tell them you have Linux they'll tell you that Windows Linux reboots the same way as other Microsoft operating systems.
So no real difference there.
Tell them they have a routing failure in your network and they'll transfer you to premium Windows support to explain to you how to set up your email.
Actually, they defined wisdom as the ability tpo see a thing from the perspective of others, It just happens that once you have managed to do that, compromise seems like a more natural solution
In the sense that they made Barney Fife look like a super-genius version of Robocop, yes. They "mis-placed" it and it eventually found it's way to at least one leak group and to N. Korea.
People have gotten into a lot more trouble for much more understandable leaks of much less important stuff with far smaller consequences.
The BSA developed a cyber weapon it never should have had (it primarily targets civilians) and then managed to mis-place it like a kindergartner's mittens and then it fell into an enemy's hands and got used against us. Why is there not a pair of smoking boots where the NSA used to be standing?

1 Fl oz weighs 1 oz. 16 oz = 1 pint = 1 pound.
Since imperial is a silly system, perhaps it's best to go with the 16 oz pint that weighs a pound. OOOhh, 1oz = 1oz, so complicated!
Not at all.

Actually, I do bake by weight. In pounds and oz.
Because in home baking, I am unlikely to need a kilo of something.
An american pint also weighs a pound in the U.K.
But since we were discussing the U.S., what you think a pint is over there is quite irrelevant, don't you think?
But note that the density of water is only 1 g/cc at 4 C. At any other temperature, it will be less.
For purposes of baking and most other things people actually do routinely, a pint is a pound.
A pint is a pound, the world around. There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon.
Now divide a yard neatly by 3.

With a gasoline vehicle where you have to pay a driver for each trip, it's right out if the question.
I haven't run the numbers, but it clearly starts looking less stupid when there's no driver to pay and just a bit of battery charging.
I see you've had your steaming cup of Bah Humbug this morning. Were you hoping for a cookie to go with it?

Lonley widowers who don't get to spend nearly enough time with the grand kids?
In other words, the "real problem" is that the wrong unethical bastards got control of the Panopticon.
The only way to make that problem go away is to take the cameras down.

Of course, him being removed from the bench for judicial misconduct TWICE is a matter of public record.
Logic fail. Customers are actually paying ISPs to carry their traffic.
