Weird way to try to discredit someone...(?) Works fine on my 2017 XPS 15/Firefox Quantum.

Don't have a problem with that phrase in a vacuum but in context of this discussion I find it highly problematic. Who decides the standard? Which standards actually matter? I guess I see information (esp with regards to video tutorials

I think the reason OP listed "sexism, slutshaming" separately is because they're separate issues. The downvotes are coming from your erroneous conflation of the two (and possibly being perceived as purposeful conflation to st

But again, that literally has nothing to do with filming in court and only whether or not the judge should've recused themself... Where in "Akins also argues that the district court erred by granting the motions todismiss and fo

Wait, where do you see anywhere in the ruling a decision about anything other than whether the judge should've been recused or not...?

It's literally linked in the article in full. It's only like 5 pages long. Very clear and obvious that this case had nothing to do with whether you could or couldn't film a public official in public...

Yeah, the ruling wasn't at all about his filming of police officers, it was about whether or not the judge should have recused themself..(?) I'm very confused as to how you could say "Eighth Circuit: Citizens do not have a ri

Better yet, take the advice given and download the free epub and pick a random page and decide for yourself whether iambic pentameter is kept!

Hopefully this will at least get you to look for modern, home defense rounds and then come to your old conclusions about 5.56 and dry wall... I'm not trying to prove you wrong here, just trying to get you to do some research about

I think this is a good time to maybe do some research into whether your complaints are valid or not before making them... You clearly aren't seeing that the point, in fact, does not stand...

Not trying to sound rude at all, but you should actually read the link... Relevant excerpts: "Tests 1-6: Bare gelatin, heavy clothing, automobile sheet metal, wallboard, plywood, and vehicle windshield safety glass, were shot a distanc

Right, but that's only for attempted suicide and it doesn't mean they aren't kept AFTER. I was looking for a citation that suggests involuntary stays are shorter than a month on average, saying that there is a minimum of 3 da

Could you possibly do the same for your numbers: "less than 4 days"? I trust that you're a psychiatrist but you could be spewing old or incorrect numbers just as easily as anyone else who may unknowingly make a mistake.

Really confused as to why you were downvoted as you were the person being asked what IC stood for... Pretty sure it's because they assumed IC was Individual Contributor but to downvote the "least common answer" is weird seein

IANAL, but in the US, he'd be Trespassing if someone from the company asked him to leave and he didn't (which seems to be the case here). In some jurisdictions, DA/SAs will bump it up to Breaking and Entering so long as that

Right... because a doctor on a plane in the US has some semblance of a chance of carrying a deadly weapon... This is kinda the point of OP, police violence has become so common-place that we take it as normal happenstance when it's use

Just as a heads up, this board is often extremely logical. So using the argument "You won't win people over" around here, being filled with people who care much more about being technically (read: the best kind of) correct, i

Distro is synonymous with OS at this point. No one is using it as a derogatory term for OSes that aren't different enough to give them the denotation of "OS". That said, you're going to have to come up with an argument s

I wonder how many of the bugs were squashed by Dr. Su himself and how many were DISs or other forms of work supervised by Su. Maybe he did kill that many bugs on his own but that seems outrageous (without taking time to actually see what ki

I'm sure a vast majority of it was phishing, but you may be surprised to know how many and how often people send info like that over unencrypted email.

By that definition, our own government is committing terroristic acts constantly. Hell, Facebook and Google are terrorists by that definition as well. I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with the particular event at hand being label

Just making sure, but I hope you know that JJ Abrams had literally absolutely nothing to do with Firefly and wasn't even tangentially related to its creation nor production. Also, I'm relatively positive that JJ (in the sci-fi wor

One simple example would be Verizon only allowing free nights and weekends to certain services. For example, Verizon allows free night and weekend data usage for Hulu but not for any other streaming video services. This is a huge loss to Ne

Do you think a similar series of events are unlikely to play out when you look at the microprocessor field right now? I see similarities in that there essentially are no open source processor options (MIPS is the only one I can think of off

I think their point is that they don't know enough about the innerworkings (read: code) to be sure that turning off one feature doesn't enable far more security vulnerabilities than existed when the feature was on... They aren&#x2
