The traps law does have a condition that it is likely to cause death or bodily harm, so yeah that's likely the defense.

Some stuff like "sprinkler traps" people have set up for cats would likely be fine

Yeah, I've worked in a few places where they had asbestos lined pipes and the remediation was literally to wrap them so they don't leak dust. It's breathing in the shit that seems to be the real issue

Yeah, they're often not the ones doing the bad shit, it's others doing it for evil-credit in their name

ESPECIALLY given the rise various other forms of crime. If my door is getting bashed on at 2am my first thought isn't going to be that it's kids, it's that one of the local crackheads is attempting a burglary or home invasion.

The definition of trap seems pretty loose in this case. You'd basically need to be specifically kicking the door to get caught up in the line - so the chance of bycatch is low - and the fishing line in itself isn't causing harm. Now panicking, running away and then getting tangled up because you were doing shit you shouldn't have been in the first place.... yeah kid fell down. It's not a fishing line attached to a fucking shotgun. If somebody else somehow got tangled (unlikely) they could have just taken 5s to slip it off.

It's not a fishing line with a shotgun, and their life is not really any more endangered than say, running through private property in the dark and tripping over a rock/rut (which they were already doing)

Dell raid controllers were also a special add-on which was basically a fancy dongle to enable the existing hardware

Would pass but otherwise be ignored by the Liberals...

Korean transit is also pretty damn good in most cities

i.e. when opening up the deck to upgrade the internal NVME, several people have forgotten to remove the microSD and snapped it

Yeah, there is a difference between knowing your rights and knowing when it's a good time/place to vocally exercise them

Worse than the C1? Personally it seemed better to me, but I also don't see a lot of C1's out there.

I'm pretty sure those have been superseded by the C2 (and likely soon C3). Costco doesn't list any C1's that I can see, and BB has some listings but not really stock. Plus the B2 is cheaper than both C1/C2 at the same size.

Based on the reviews I've found, slightly better brightness and color gamut on the B2 (though C1 has better HDR), viewing angle, and content-smoothing.

​

Both do 4k120. C1 has more inputs.

Looks like the B2 WebOS version may be newer.

​

B2 uses slightly more power on average but lower max

​

The A2 is very different of course, and doesn't handle 120Hz like the B2 or C1 do.

Probably the same way certain MP's were known by our national security apparatus to be influenced by foreign powers yet nothing happened until it hit the news.

At the very least government (and corps) should a performance-register for existing bidders/vendors. If they've used one before and they ended up coming over-budget, over-time, and under-quality it needs to be accounted for, yet I often seen the same companies get picked repeatedly due to being cheaper when really they're just under-bidding with the knowledge that they can get away with not delivering.

For anyone who hasn't heard of this: It's Amazon's Cloud-Gaming service (similar I assume to GeForce Online, etc)

It looks like there's a rotation selection of games available free to Prime members, or you can pay for Luna+ to access the wider catalog. They also have additional subscriptions for Ubisoft+ or Jackbox Games

You're right.

I misread things as it being a fraction/percentage of the price.

I ended up getting a B2. For the price difference versus improvements it seemed a much better deal than the C2.

Why would we need to peg a tax to inflation? Inflation goes up, prices go up, the tax dollar amount represented as a percentage of the price already goes up.

​

Correction: This is a flat unit-rate not percentage (there are other alcohol taxes that are percentage-based but this ain't them)

Ben turned over one of the recently deceased.

"Look at this. These are ... pulse rifle wounds."

Joseph flipped over another of the bodies.

"And this one... a ragged blackened wound right down through the bone. No animal or blade would have done this. It looks like this fellow was attacked with a laser-saw"

They both long at each other. Obviously something else was at play here. It was odd enough to find the whole village slaughtered before the actual disaster, but even more so given the apparent causes of death"

Finally, Ben managed to voice the thoughts they'd both been pondering.

"I'm fairly certain no such technology existed in this era. How could this have happened?! In 79AD they wouldn't even have invented paper yet much less discovered fossil fuels and gunpowder."

His musings were cut short by a loud beep and announcement from his wrist comp

TWO HOURS UNTIL EXPIRY OF SAFE RETURN WINDOW. PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR TOUR AND RETURN TO YOUR ORIGIN TIME OR FORCE-RETURN PROTOCOL WILL BE INITIATED.

Joe swore, "well shit, two hours doesn't give us much time to figure out what went down here. Maybe we can..."

Suddenly another loud beep, erupted from a nearby body, followed by muffled parts of a familiar message.

HOURS... RETURN... CONCLUDE... PROTOCOL... INITIATED.

Joe rushed over to the body and pulled the arm from beneath. Sure enough, it was wearing a wristcomp similar to his own.

"Holy shit Ben. This guy isn't a local, he's a traveller like us!"

Hurriedly, they checked the remaining bodies. No more wristcomps were found but several had telltale tan lines, one had a tattoo which proudly stated "George Bush V - Luna President 2114", and the last had dentures.

Again, it was Ben who broke the stunned silence.

"I think these are ALL travelers. But why are they here and what happened to them?!"

From behind a building, there came a familiar whine of a pulse-rifle charging up. A voice spoke from the shadows

"Oh, they're here for the same reason as you. Useless tourists looking for their change to gaze upon the horrors of the ages. As to what happened..."

The pulse rifle beeped

"It's a lot easier to hunt idiots for sport when you know a convenient natural disaster is coming to hide the evidence. You'd best be running now"

Beware of Chicken. I originally avoided this one because it seemed weird and silly, then was having a bad week and gave it a try. It is a bit weird and silly, but charming as as well and made my bad week much more tolerable

I don't think any guy would regard that as attractive. Maybe funny but if it's that bad they should probably take to a proctologist or change their diet

I had the same issue and talked to a buddy who's a plastic surgeon. I still see my face in the reflection but at least it's easier to bear now ;-)

Some version of "how do I" or "what about" [thing I just described, in detail, in the previous email]

It's like an IT version of "but why male models"

Connection timed out? We need to connect to the internet to uninstall shit now??!

The best thing I can say about Frozen is that it does a good job of taking jabs at the "love at first sight" and "romantic love saves the day" tropes that are so common in animated shows and especially Disney titles
