  1. Re:Wow, Jar Jar and that shitty kid actor in 3D! on Episode I 3D Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    But was it naturally aspirated? Did it use a carburator? Or even have a suspension from the 1950s?

    Clearly this car you speak of would be far too modern and high tech for NASCAR.

    Funny thing is both of them are similar in a lot of ways, naturally aspirated and carburated and all that. Outated is what I really mean. NASCAR needs to update, oh and stop going around in circles.

    Why?
    Unless you plan to use these in a laptop it does not matter. Heck, many SSDs do not even fit in laptops as they are too tall.

    So on top of this you are a cop?
    Great, we have a totally non-baised commenter here!

    You are right those folks are not the ones to ask either, but it is far less of a problem of conflict of interest. This is because those folks know no matter what a cop did he is not going to go to jail for it. Sure he might lose his job, only to get hired somewhere else, but he is surely not going to be held responsible.
    For evidence of that, I point to the various real life cases including a recent one near me where they shot a little girl in the head, for sitting on the couch.

    Yes it is. It does not consume manpower. This means more of it can be done. If you disagree than I suggest all your cars be so tracked. In fact maybe we should just put these on all cars in the country.

    No the rational person should ask what is happening here. They should not assume either side is correct off the bat.

    The problem is your statistics on use of force are biased. You would need a real study done with impartial judges, this cannot be done as the police would end up short of man power soon. Not because all uses of force are unjustified but because it only takes one to lose your job. I also suspect that your statistics completely ignore unreported uses of force. Surely you see the problem with only asking the potential force user if force was used?

    And everyone ever charged with a crime is guilty too, right?

    I hope you never get a chance to serve on a jury. These are the folks whose no fly lists end up getting toddlers hassled and you think they had or needed an actual reason to hassle a genuine brown person?

    While we are at it, time and date will now be represented in the form YYYYMMDDHHmmss and so on. This would bring it into conformance with all other numbers we use.

    No need, we merely make the security screening process at least 24 hours long so that anything swallowed would be flushed out.

    Clearly they need to screen people before they get into the security line, with some sort of pre-security checkpoint.

    But mice do not really seek cheese. I have kept both mice and rats as pets and they far prefer nuts and breads to cheese. If you want to trap mice peanut butter is really the best bait, as it sticks to the trap and they love it.
