What we want is a solution for customers who don’t understand the benefit of DP and won’t buy an adapter when there’s already HDMI ports on both devices.

You also aren’t legally required to go down a waterslide.

Knowingly selling insurance then intentionally withholding care as the patients are entitled to as long as possible hoping they’ll gove up or die in the process so you can increase profits is absolutely worthy of depraved heart homicide.

And it’s not the same thing as reckless endangerment. Reckless endangerment leading to death is manslaughter. Depraved Indifference leading to death is murder.

I don’t expect you to keep replying because you know you’re wrong on this, and the more we argue the worse you look.

That’s literally not how depraved heart murder works.

The CEO of a Waterpark (schlitterbahn) was arrested for murder after a child died by decapitation on a slide because he’d paid off people who were hurt on it previously to keep quiet so they wouldn’t have to shut down the ride. He didn’t know for sure that particular child would die, or whether anyone would die at all. But he was so indifferent to the known danger that it counted as motive.

Johnson ordered his people to deny millions of medical procedures the patients were entitled to. He absolutely knew people would die, even if he didn’t know any specific person would.

Look up depraved heart murder.

It’s a real legal tool used by prosecutors all over the country. The idea is that if someone actively chooses to take actions so incredibly dangerous in pursuit of their own interests that it is likely to cause people to die, that indifference to human life can be treated as malice aforethought (intent to kill) and they can be charged with 2nd degree murder for any deaths resulting from thise actions. The classic example would be knowingly selling tainted food or medicine for profit.

And it’s not just a US law. China literally executed executives for signing off on the sale of tainted baby formula.

Brian Thompson intentionally ordered the increased rejection of pre-authorizations for covered procedures and medications in order to drive up profit, resulting in a great deal of injury and death.

Is random people shooting execs in the street my preferred choice for how society handles these issues? No. But when official justice is denied, the inevitable result is people deciding to act on it themselves.

Johnson is dead because he was shot, yes. But more than that, he’s dead because the justice system refuses to hold people like him accountable for their illegal actions.

It’s about taking the state out of the process. If citizens are suing each other, it’s an entirely civil matter that keeps Texas from having to go to court against another state. SCOTUS has original jurisdiction (i.e. the case goes straight to SCOTUS instead of working through the lower courts) for disputes between states, and this is NOT something the conservatives want going to SCOTUS.

Either they lose, or they win and set some precedents they do NOT want. Imagine California being able to go after Winchester when a California resident buys ammo in Nevada.

Yeah. They solved protien folding with ML a few years back. And I like using it for things like noise removal in Lightroom.

But so much of it has been focused on useless (at best) bullshit that I just want the bubble to burst already.

I don’t know how much it would encourage Putin to invade again.

It’s not like he invaded part of Ukraine and was allowed to keep the annexed territory in the name of peace, then 8 years later invaded again, right?

Scaling goes in both directions.

I’m sure the administration suddenly removing federal whistle lower protections has NOTHING to do with fear of the people who had access to the real files.

…Here we may reign secure, and in my choice

To reign is worth ambition though in hell:

Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.

Lucifer: Paradise Lost

That’s kinda a catch-all for use of someone else’s device or accessing protected data device or service.

It sounds like an add-on charge related to accessing the CC numbers.

Sounds like he was accused of using a stolen phone.

It’s almost like one side of the political aisle spent decades demonizing gun ownership, and now the fascists own all the guns.

The GOP is evil, but the Dems are really bad at politics. Guns and abortion are by far the biggest issues for single-issue voters, and they’re almost overwhelmingly single-sided. How many pro-choice voters who are otherwise liberal would have voted for Trump if he had been pro-choice and Harris had been pro-life?

Pretty close to zero, because nobody has pro-choice as the single item they will base 100% of their vote on, while millions of pro-life voters will absolutely change party affiliation over it. It’s why, in the general election, candidates running a campaign centered on abortion rights get skewered. It doesn’t matter that the majority of voters are pro choice if the only people who actually vote based on abortion are the pro-life voters.

It’s the same thing to a slightly lesser extent with guns. By centering campaigns on anti-gun issues that don’teven make sense (cosmetic gun features, supressors, ordering guns online that still have to be transferred with a background check at a licensed dealer, gun show loopholes that don’t actually exist, etc), the Dems have allowed the GOP to cater to gun owners. And now that politics is turning increasingly violent, they’ve also effectively disarmed their supporters.

Guns are evil until they’re necessary. And we’re quickly approaching the “necessary” phase without them.

Yes, but Texas.

The final vote was 427:1. Almost all Republicans voted for the bill once the discharge petition (that was joined by a few Republicans) was pushed through.

Too bad he didn’t tell them to investigate Trump then!

Shooting competitions can be useful. Especially something like a 3-gun match where you’re moving around, reloading, changing weapons, have an accuracy penalty, and are running against a clock.

But the biggest problem there is money. Ammo is reaaly expensive these days, and 3-gun will use up a LOT of it.

So you’re saying thousands of people people who aren’t members of the rich, white, cis, straight Republican, male ruling class should spend 200 grand each to hunt old apex predators?

Hunting predators has caused massive ecological harm in the US.

Hunt hogs. They’re invasive and cause massive damage ecologically and economically. They can also fuck you up.

California’s famous anti-gun policies were born out of Republican fear of the Black Panthers.
