Honestly, you don’t have to create a kill switch. Most stuff will fall apart due to dependency on manual intervention. Usually because there isn’t enough staff to automate it. Tech debt comes for everyone.

I see. So you have no data, just spouting off. I change my mind when presented with data/sources. But that was never your goal.

If you want to continue off the point I made that the crime was that he was there with a gun at all… Show some data on the exception to the law in the state this happened. And I don’t know what land you live in. Seems pretty insane to spend more than other countries on Healthcare and get worse results… or that the law protects businesses right to sell more tickets than there are seats on a plane. And of course rental car reservations. Government for the people by the people protecting businesses instead of the people.

300 miles really isn’t very far for hurricanes to penetrate. And Asheville is a bowl in the mountains. So water runs to it, and drains out. It just can’t handle that much rain at once. It’s probably happened before, just long ago.
That said, I sat on my deck most of yesterday. It was the kind of weather we used to get all summer long 30 years ago. Now it only happens briefly in the spring and fall. Summers are becoming unbearable. Wildfires are the result.

It can influence a jury, sure. But it isn’t proof of much of anything other than his poor mental state, and how brainwashed he was.

Sure there is. If you are in a fist fight, and the other guy draws a gun and shoots. Now you can fire back in self defense. And the law in the state he was in doesn’t have any mention of “not if you instigate it”. You are welcome to your opinion, but it doesn’t change the law, and really has nothing to do with my comment. Your motivations are a bit like Kyle, you just needed to be seen making a statement, even if it had nothing to do with the comment you replied to.

Let’s be honest. Many, if not most, of us talked big when we were that age. The texts are just that. This is a kid with an inferiority complex trying to be seen as a tough guy. His actions that night were more like the coward he is inside. Which is not meant as an insult really. But he ran away. And to me he really did fire in the legal definition of self defense. The crime here is that he was there and armed at all. And further that society failed to help this kid find productive ways to prove his worth to himself. Kids aren’t born like this.

Hope the info sec guy got some hazard bonus. Doubt he/she would ask for it though.

Well, with the way prisons are managed, this might be better then dying from heatstroke in a box in the yard. And that’s a pretty sad state to be in.

I don’t have one in mind. That’s the issue. If I could think it, someone surely would have made it.

Yeah, but it still shows on the bill. My wife wouldn’t like the idea of “paying” for porn. Free is fine though. She is also a bit paranoid, so having my own card would make her uncomfortable.

I’d pay if there was a more discrete way of doing it. Overall, you should pay for the things you want. Or they will go away (well probably not porn). But like local businesses and such.

I can think of a couple. P diddy is coming to mind today… allegedly.

I just don’t like soap operas, whatever the form. My kid does though.

Which point? It doesn’t seem like that is what the union is pushing for. I mean sure, they probably aren’t asking the hotel to forcibly clean customers rooms, but even doing it by default seems like the wrong direction. It should be on request. And the employees pay shouldn’t depend on the customers whims. It should be stable pay that they are asking for with the possibility of overtime.

Fair, but that ship has sailed.

That doesn’t make sense. If we could reuse the same plastics over and over, they would be the ultimate in sustainable materials.

I’m pretty pro worker, but this sounds like forcing daily cleaning on customers who don’t want it. That just seems the wrong way to go. Increased time to do their jobs, minimum pay no matter the hours needed, and better hourly rates is where I would have gone.

Doh, I thought it was Liechtenstein. I rember three small things from my kids geography quizes… Monaco, Vatican city, and Liechtenstein. So in my mind it had to be one of them. Lol.

You don’t get to where he is by being normal. So his success alone is proof he is divergent. He should just own it and move on.
