I just switched to Linux and couldn’t figure out the install. But I literally just switched to Linux, so I don’t know, it could work great for all I know.

Do you eat a lot of garlic? That’s what gets me.

Get SketchUp Make 2017 from the wayback machine. Is super intuitive and you can import stl files directly.

Jokes on you Microsoft, I recently ditched windows.

Republican observers have always been present in our county to watch every step of election processing. They never miss any tiny part of the process. My state is still going to be processing mail in ballots for several days, but yesterday morning the Republican observers just disappeared and stopped coming.

Married, happy, and doing financially ok (house paid off but no real savings). Life would have been a lot harder with kids.

Can someone explain the anger part to me, because I feel like it resonates with me, but can’t say why.

How to debone a chicken:
First, remove the orgasms from inside the body cavity and set side.
Wash and dry the children.
Place the chicken in the rectum of a live cow to tenderize for three hours.
Turn the cow inside out and remove the chicken.
Coat the chicken in a thin brine of jet fuel and dust with flour.
Tie the legs of the chicken to a doorknob with a line of dental floss and save for later.
Ignite the chicken and catch it in a 2 quart greased pan at 425 degrees.
The bones will slide out easily.

I always loved the “do uncontacted remote tribes that haven’t heard of God or Jesus go to heaven?” question. So far everyone has answered yes. And then you realize that Christians could save everyone, everywhere, forever, just by destroying all their literature, not teaching religion, and letting it die with them. One sacrificial generation and everyone is saved forever.

But they won’t do it because of greed and pride, the core aspects of their belief system.

Hey guys, this right here is a super valuable point to address and really strikes straight to the heart of the ability of a system like this to give the illusion of choice. People absolutely will still think, despite this, they are still in control and we need to address it not dismiss it.

I’m undoing the downvote on this comment, it absolutely is a big part of the conversation, even if you think it’s naive.

I’m just starting out with Bazzite right now. Still awkward, but pretty painless, and all the gaming stuff like proton is already configured and baked in. I still need to figure out how to get stuff done though.

More like being responsible with guns so people don’t argue we can’t afford to leave the second amendment unrestrained.

How old is your Bowden tube? Could you be getting more friction when it is bent certain ways leading to inconsistent feeding?

Because everyone is switching from a custom ui to a css standard so they can have a web app that is also a desktop app.

To sum up, your app became a web page.

Like I said, if all you do is complain online, nothing will change, you said it yourself that they just ignore protests these days.

I’m not saying there aren’t problems, I’m saying that all your answers are cop outs. (Unintentional pun, but I’ll take it)

If you won’t be a cop because they are all degenerates, then don’t be surprised if the only ones who want to the job are power trippers. If you can’t talk about the problems in a way policymakers relate to, they are going to ignore you. Have you talked to county or city commissioners? Have you gotten involved at a local level? I’m not saying you personally have to solve this, but if everyone has the same attitude, who steps up?

But it’s easy to talk about sucking dicks and otherize, and whine online.

And to answer the question you dodged earlier, according to the news, he later told the cops he did have a 9 mil in the car. So it isn’t unreasonable of them to assume anyone they come across could be armed, he actually was.

While a person intent on hurting officers would likely have distain, they would be more likely to act cool and calm until they pull out their gun as to keep the officer from sensing a threat and reacting to it.

You make a great point. I can see why cops would be on edge and would rather risk taking someone into custody unnecessarily rather than putting their life at risk. Based on your reasoning they would probably be hyper vigilant for signs a stop might go wrong. Given an employers responsibility to provide a safe workplace, they are probably trained to err on the side of caution, right?

Take a look at all of the officer’s actions and attempt to see them from a reasonable person’s perspective.

A rather obvious diss and strawman argument, but I see your point. What you are ignoring though is the reasonable person who is employed as a cop. If you had that job, how much would you be willing to risk death on a daily basis to give people the benefit of the doubt?

He punched the driver while he was handcuffed. He lied about a 25ft law and then expanded it beyond what the made-up law would allow. After 18 minutes of having him in handcuffs, he only started to write the citations, the whole reason for the stop, when a supervisor asked him if they were already done.

So sue the fuck out of him! That’s what the courts are for. That’s a separate issue from whether the cop decided he was non-cooperative at a level that warranted intervention.

You’re arguing that we should defer to the officers because of a million imaginary what-ifs. That’s not how this works.

That’s the whole point of qualified immunity. Cops are the ones willing to wade into the shit on a daily basis. They put their lives on the line, so they get the discretion to decide they are going to cuff you for the rest of the interaction if they feel unsafe.

If they break the law, sue them. If policy is bad, lobby for change. People wrote the laws, people set the culture, people can change it. But just whining online that some sports guy you like wasn’t treated as politely as you would have liked is like having a quick wank, it makes you feel good, but won’t change anything.

If you think you can do better, go apply for a job with the force, show us what the police could be. If you are going to let someone else do it so you don’t have to take the risk and can sit safely at home whining about it. Sure you can get some attention, but you aren’t going to be taken very seriously.

Again, I’m not talking about any instance other than the one we have been looking at together here. Personally, I believe cops should always assume they are going too be on trial every time they shoot someone they should know it is always going to be a potentially life altering event for them.

I’m this case, the driver didn’t say “oh buddy, you fucked up, see you in court” while complying, he showed the officer his distain and reluctance every step of the way and at that point the officer is going to ask themselves if they might be in danger, and if they think they might be, they are trained to do something about it. In this case taking him into custody.

Question for you. If he wanted to, could he have shot the cop? Was there a gun in the car?

That’s a lot of words to admit you have trouble finding common ground so that people can make meaningful change.

So In this specific instance, the specific instance we are talking about, the instance that is the topic of this discussion, no one.

The obvious follow up question is, if he were rolling up the tinted windows so he could retrieve a weapon without the cop seeing, or if he had taken off at high speed in his little sports car and run a high speed chase before crashing, could multiple people have died?

I’ll just give you the obvious answer, “yes”.

The reason your answer is naive isn’t because cops don’t do terrible things, they do, and they should absolutely be held accountable. It is because cops are also often on unpredictable situations and if you can’t look at something like this and see where pulling him out of the car could be justified, you can’t argue in good faith where the line is between this and a true abuse of power.

And if you can’t do that, the people in power will never take your argument seriously, and your will continue to be largely ignored.

That’s just naive. And that’s a big claim, a “massive risk” to the public, so back it up… Who got hurt in this instance?
