I loved the little stick. Get followed by a high-beamer and just tap and it’s gone. When they finally go by, just push back up and it’s fine. Even the freaking electric is, select the which-side button, then feel around for the updownrightleft and then crawlcrawlcrawlcrawlcrawlcrawl. 

The cops know they are creating a future arrest, the goal of the effort. The next time they pick him up for any reason, he has a record of a prior arrest with which to increase the severity of the charge. Maybe one more time and he won’t be employable in most jobs. 

It has been implied that the first officer was more concerned about an unattended child and just noticed due to the pee break and that he was fired for not immediately arresting the child. The other four were disciplined by a round of high-fives and extra jelly donuts because they had obviously not instilled the…

Most likely because they had to copy the software out of the system in order to reverse engineer it to figure out why it broke. Basically, like violating copyright on a book by opening and reading it.

It never recovered after Fleming left.

It can be far easier to use an adaptable worker than design an entire system to manage some complex task. This is particularly true at certain scales of manufacturing, which is why human assemblers still have jobs.

ROSHA has many complaints about that abuse. 

I would rather have behavior detection software than this. The neighbor’s car was destroyed when a driver fell asleep and veered into the parked vehicle. Completely sober, just tired after an overnight shift.

Habitual drunks, like the one that hit my car, don’t think like that. They think they will go out, have a couple, and be safe to drive. So they don’t take an Uber. Then they get to the bar, the alcohol takes over, and they decide they don’t feel that bad and can’t leave the car at the bar. They will certainly feel…

It didn’t exactly fail. At the time Prohibition was introduced there were a tremendous number of hole-in-the-wall bars that saw a large business in capturing clients on their way home from work. They were eliminated by Prohibition. While speak-easy joints cropped up, it wasn’t nearly the number, and the end of…

It doesn’t matter if nothing is visible. What mainly matters is an out-of-state plate or a car that hasn’t regularly parked on the thieves route. In the investigation the thieves regularly broke rear passenger windows solely to get to the seat releases on SUVs so they could look under the cover. They would leave items…

The train maker did not ask to examine the work. They demanded that the work not be done. They did not offer to help with repair. They demanded the repair not be done.

A new fragrance by Harkonnen.

It’s a bullet shaped lump of metal. What it was intended for isn’t a guide to what it is good for now. 

Trying to keep airport employees from gaining a trophy. 

Cops are the worst tacticians. Remember how they cut down a child in his pajamas trying to see what all the flashing lights were about while every one of them yelled a different order at the same time from more than 100 feet away? Blasted to pieces by sniper fire over a false report. Or the time a police sniper shot…

They were there to make sure the second attempt to repo the truck was a success as evidenced by the truck being repo’d as the owner was bleeding to death seeing his truck taken just before he died. They enforced a civil action with gunfire. 

It’s slightly related as this equipment is being pressed harder than it would be if Russia had any alternative. Plus the factories for parts might be engaged in building other things.

No idea - but does the Rivian have a mode where letting off the accelerator pedal at a stop causes the vehicle to hold position until the accelerator pedal is pushed? If so, he may have (thoughtless, mindless, absent mindlessly) feathered his foot over the accelerator in anticipation of going, but accidentally tapped…

I see the victim was from Cuba, where the chances of getting shot approach zero, and only here a year, hence the lack of awareness that anyone would shoot for any reason.
