    Well, it's got me so worried about my health that I've got to smoke a couple of bowls of weed to mellow out.

    It's a big country.

    Twice Europe

    We could follow Europe's lead and cram everyone into the land area of Monaco.

    and China's

    Or do as China does and keep the majority of our population living like peasants.

  3. The fact is, that the MAJORITY of CO2 is actually from GDP (i.e. commerce), and not individuals.

    Shhhh! You are going to ruin things for the socialists. CO2 emissions are from SUVs. Period. Never mind replacing coal power plants with nukes, electrifying rail lines or regulating marine shipping emissions. We simply can't have our population free to move about on their own volition. Ban personal transportation now!

  4. Google has been talking to ceiling cat?

    That is an ultimate betrayal of your responsibility to your child.

    It's not my kid that I'm worried about. It's the child of the parent who gets indignant and insists that its his job and his job alone to raise his kid. And then his kid brings the AK-47 to school.

    Sure, I'll visit the teachers and evaluate the classroom from time to time. But you might not like my input. Maybe I'll tell them to keep that Draper kid out of the school. Because he's a trouble-maker, unstable and one social media post away from shooting up the classroom. Or perhaps I should expect them to be watching for this sort of thing impartially.

  19. Re:Remind me why this is bad? on Relative's DNA Solves A 1993 Murder Cold Case (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    There's a large amount of pressure on public service workers to clear these cases and get convictions.

    Not really. It took them 25 years to come up with a name on this one. Besides, get it wrong and your small Alaska town will risk a very expensive lawsuit.

    How easy is it get an arrest warrant based solely on the DNA evidence.

    Pretty easy. As others have pointed out, once you have a name and reasonable suspicion based on other evidence (like opportunity to commit the crime), you obtain a search warrant under the rules of evidence. You don't use the genealogical service sample. From that point on, a positive DNA match is pretty damning.

    Keep in mind that they took 25 years and found their suspect all the way across the USA. If this had been a case of dragging in the usual suspects and charging one to clear the case quickly, this would have been over 24.5 years ago.

  24. What you're really looking for in terms of solved crimes is what's called the clearance rate. Or the percentage of crimes reported that are solved.

    No. What I'm looking for is the actual crime rate. Statistics will steer different police departments to select the best tactics to improve the clearance rate on those crimes.

    Canada ... granting more leeway to an individual if they go over the proportional line of self-defense
