You can ask someone to move from the public area in front of your property, but except in very specific circumstances (e.g., blocking your driveway) they are under no obligation to comply or even answer your questions. You have no right to detain them. If they are acting suspicious, call the police, someone who does…

You can confront people in front of your property, e.g., on the public road or sidewalk, because that’s just free speech, but you can’t threaten them with a weapon, attempt to detain them, or force them to leave. If they’re on your property you can tell them to leave, but you can’t use force unless they actually…

Being on someone’s lawn is trespassing at best and does not constitute a reasonably threat of bodily harm (logically if not legally by Florida law). If he found them in his house then maybe he could infer some threat, but on his lawn? The problem with Stand Your Ground is that people who are just confused can be…

If he actually pointed his gun at them from in front of the car, then even without Stand Your Ground, they are justified in slamming on the gas and running him over if they are unable to avoid him. (Their only reasonable means of retreat is driving through him.) Stand Your Ground probably covers them if he was just…

If the car was fleeing when he shot he can’t reasonably be in fear for his life or bodily harm.

Wow.

It’s more like a marathon runner using a bike; it’s just an entirely different way to race. There’s no good reason to directly compare glitched vs. glitchless runs.

Does it matter if he could understand the moral implications of his actions as opposed to just the legal consequences? That seems to leave the door open for an “I have different moral values.” or “The victim deserved it.” defense at some point.

I’d assumed that the satellite signal was just a simple binary code, because the aliens were hacking together something simple to throw through our satellites and wasn’t really representative of their intrinsic coding. Since binary is universal in Mathematics and ubiquitous in Physics, it’s reasonable to assume it…

I was bothered by the fact that he came up the answer and wrote the program in a few hours while shitfaced drunk and had a confident assessment of how long it would disable their systems. The first part goes beyond competence porn, and the second part is just nonsensical.

Based on a primarily subjective and incomplete survey, most of the (major) cases that make it to SCOTUS are some special interest group supporting a person/group/company with legal standing in order to push a broader agenda (good or bad, depending on your perspective).

Except can’t (shouldn’t) you balance for that? You can’t choose between a skinny or fat Tracer, can you?

You will find them just outside human dwellings. We had these (banana spiders) around my house. As a kid I was pretty terrified by them (they’re about the size of a child’s hand), but they’re harmless and good for insect control. They’re not nearly as cute as jumping spiders.

That’s like saying a tampon is a hazard waiting to happen because you can forget to take it out and get toxic shock.

You might as well ask “Do people give that much of a damn about college football?” (Or sports in general for that matter.) There are people who care about small-town engineering university sports.

Not to take away from the awesome inanity of this, but the physics of flipping partially filled water bottles make that shot pretty forgiving.

Here’s waiting for the full-length version.

This is the problem I have with Faith. Believe whatever crazy metaphysics you want, but don’t inflict your unjustified real-world conclusions on others. Any good that has come from Faith is incidental.
