“Just in case” doesn’t seem great justification. Keep his gun, keep it on him. That doesn’t mean you have to pull the trigger because of potentials. Granted, I didn’t go to American police school, so maybe this is wrong…

Lots of reasons. A counter question would be, except out of rage and adrenaline, why would you shoot him?


The real annoying part of CDs was the failure rate. It could be the medium, the burner, or the software, but it always seemed you’d spend time waiting for the data to be saved to a more “permanent” source, and it would finally pop up with an error and the whole disk is now trash. Kind of glad that tech is now obsolete. I think you could redo a read/write a few times, but they had similar issues and it was a pain.
gets into whole “there is no touching” near the end. Right up there with Sagan’s “Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing.” existentialism.
It was years ago, but I’ve eaten at one of the major truck stop brands (Flying J) and it was higher level than any brand restaurant as far as service and what they offered.
That is my response, every damn time.
I was going to ask if anyone knew why each version developed preference in the area it’s used, but figured I’d just search myself. I swear, no link I found tells why, even the ones that claim they’ll tell why. It’s just something that occurred over time. There has to be a better reason.
I guess mine didn’t get the message to sign up for the sharing.
Have a new orange. Can attest it’s true. But only part of the time, he’s a sweet boy sometimes too. Dear lord there’s no brains involved, I don’t know where the one cell idea comes from. Zero.


I’ve learned that’s either a sign or a requirement of middle management. I like to go through and correct the errors on posted messages.
My dad did the exact opposite of this when he had a Corvette. Some guys pulled up to the stop light, got him to roll his window down, and said, “Hey man, want to race?”
His reply. “Why?”
The “I have a flag” of being manly.
MAGA, when Nazis were fringe groups, and got punched when showing up in public.


Calvin Ball. Since he’s so prone to making up rules as he goes.
Are you talking about murder? Because if anything legal morality is far better than most religious when it comes to killing people. And that’s even with capital punishment still practiced.


But someone assessed they were still a valid target, right? We aren’t quite at the fully autonomous attack craft yet, are we? That would be a convenient excuse, blaming the AI/drone because the humans in charge totally wouldn’t have done that. Totally. Especially knowing it would be found out by the world.
Enough buyouts and the parent can have creative acronyms.
If it’s slow, then it’s the central backup and you use anything else for regular use. Just having it as a fallback for recovery would be huge.
