How can he be perceived as rich but can’t put the money up for the appeal? It can’t be both.

Why haven’t they? Didn’t they give him a 10-day extension? It’s been more than that, and he doesn’t have a proper bond. What’s holding everything up now?

The more realistic we can make the training, the better prepared armed school staff will be to respond to an active shooter

At Uvalde, local law enforcement trained AT THE SCHOOL. It didn’t help at all. And that was for people trained for a shootout. What makes anyone think this is a good idea for regular staff members?

Under the 2022 law, school personnel – who were previously required to receive the same 700 hours of firearms training as law enforcement officials or security officers – can carry guns at school after 24 hours of instruction, provided they have permission from the local school board.

Holy shit. I’m not a gambler, but I wouldn’t bet against someone getting shot unjustifiably in the first year of implementation.

Cars didn’t “solve a real problem” at first either.

Weird Al should be all over this.

mushrooms and other fungi.

This is the kind of AI-shenanigans I look forward to.

I think they have to be lenient to give the other co-dependents incentive to flip.

I don’t know is the term “payware” is new, but it is the best description of Blizzard’s shitty sales practices. I remember when I played shareware, and you got to play the first few levels of a game, and if you liked it, you paid a single price to unlock the entirety of the rest of the game.

I was using Mint for a while but the system got hosed. I plan on modding Starfield, and there was another game I can’t recall that wouldn’t work on Linux. After I best Starfield I fully expect to wipe my system again and go with a more stable distro of Linux (e.g. Gentoo or something).

To add to that, Android is likely the overwhelming market share of Linux-based operating systems in use today. For that matter, an absolute ton of Intel CPUs have Minux installed on them too, but I wouldn’t call this “on the desktop”, just interesting.

Honestly, between the telemetry data collection, the strange hardware requirements, advertisements, bloatware, and unknown future licensing model, Linux is looking like an attractive option. At this point, I only use Windows for Office and gaming, and Linux + Proton has gotten really good lately. I don’t see a reason to use Windows on my personal machine any more.
