As a programmer, I’ll tell you right off that it is a BAD IDEA to rely on a OS kill-switch for everything and expect that every application handles it perfectly in all cases.

This is what police officers readily do, putting their lives on the line to save others. Pity that a tiny fraction of bad cops on a power trip ruin it for the rest

Or people can fuck right off with the whataboutism? It’s never good when anyone does it. 

This shall henceforth be known as the Turnanankle Expanse.  Say so we all.

Dang. I’d always heard that alcohol consumption could potentially lead to memory loss, but never imagined it might actually shrink the brain. In fact just the other day I was reading about how alcohol consumption might actually shrink the brain, which makes sense since I’d always heard that alcohol consumption could…

If the issues they had with the Bolt continue, Blazer is the perfect name for this.

Where did you see me defending him? I didn’t say he didn’t deserve to get hit. I’m saying that if you hit someone, and they fucking DIE, then you can reasonably expect some jail time. 

possibly just a movie prop engine?

yes, you can’t put you hands on someone and act like that is legal defense because they used a slur. What the fuck is wrong with people? Unless this old dude had a weapon, this was wrong.

calling someone an (admittedly) despicable slur/name is not in any way the same as “grabbing the barrel of a loaded gun”. No matter how awful the words/voice is saying it, no one- white, black- has the right or even reason to murder someone, or even assault them.
sorry, call me crazy, i find that a little...crazy

You can paint the outside.

A ‘fairly insane’ $4.74? We haven’t had it that cheap for years. UK price, allowing for US v Imperial gallons, is around $7.70 and climbing.

Unless you’re so broke that just can’t afford your own computer, why would you use a work computer for anything personal at all? Just don’t. Assume 100% of what you do is being monitored and recorded (including capturing any passwords you type into your bank or whatever) and realize that the asset your using doesn’t…

I was really curious how these sensors worked, and looked around; not many sources actually explain how they function. I did find an answer of Quora, though, so YMMV:

That’s what a turbidity sensor is for:

My thinking exactly: I can stress-out my dishwasher or just do a little pre-work and it’ll keep running smoothly and for longer.

I always pre-rinse just because of this. I want my dishwasher to last as long as possible.

i don’t get it. if modern dishwashers have sensors to tell how dirty the dishes are, then why aren’t they “sensing” that the dishes have been pre-rinsed, and adjust the wash cycle to be shorter automatically?
