Also, Earth did refuse to give weapons to the people that were building nukes in the middle of a civil war.

. Its only when you are unanimously found not guilty that you definitively can not be put on trial again.

well, if it was dismissed with prejudice, chances are the judge would be very careful with that decision, and it would be unlikely to be overturned by appellate courts. If the appellate court affirms the dismissal, it’s very, very unlikely the supreme court would take the case up (and likely to affirm the dismissal again.)

I suspect that the proscutors would, given such a dismissal accept it and go to the next case rather than fighting to overturn something they probably won’t be able to.

but there is a point where they would have run out of higher courts and at that point, a dismissal with prejudice may as well be an acquittal.

Lacking a unanimous verdict, it is a mistrial and they do the whole song and dance again, or the charges are dismissed (with or without prejudice.)

At that point it’s out of the jury’s hands. The judge may weigh in and make the decision, and the prosecution may decide they won’t be able to convince another jury, and tell the judge to dismiss.

Who decides what the relevant skills are?

Who gets to decide social justice issues? Cops or advocates?

Edit: what about climate policy? big Oil? Or climate people?

Course they do.

They want us complying without them ever lifting a finger

So to start with the “also”… vigilantism is mob justice. It is always a bad thing because it denies people their due process.

It is very, very rare for vigilantes to get it right, or to have excellent target selection. The vast majority of vigilantes go after innocent people whose sole crime is to be different- because they’re bigots.

That said, assuming you didn’t otherwise break the law (so no breaking and entry, or hacking etc) it would most closely be investigative journalism. Sure it might get taken down on whatever platform, etc, but that doesn’t make it vigilantism

Yup. And depending on what the dye was, that could be months from now. Maybe even years.

But without catching her, that’s really the only way to know.

As for the statements about genetics… there’s a lot we just don’t know. I assume it’s a dye, but, eh, I’m also comfortable saying “I don’t know, but she looks like she’s going through a pink hair phase, and I love it.”

Liquid cooled with a chiller unit, yes? On the roof or somewhere the noise wouldn’t bother anyone.

You can then use the rads on the door in reverse and blow in cold air.

The entire server room would be a humidity controlled clean room, some condensation doesn’t matter. The clean room would also more or less eliminate dust.

I’d expect that if it’s not natural, (de icing spray, or whatever,) for the dye to fade or come out.

If it continues to persist, it’s probably some form of genetic. At least, that’s my thinking.

This would have been a highly effective rebuttal to Ryker’s argument that data was just a machine (by turning data off.)

“Yeah. Well, Data is just a more advanced form of life.”

you don’t and can’t know that.

Just because their awful people and bad christians doesn’t make them not-christians. it makes they shitty people and shitty christians. Remember, according to their scriptures, the only necessary quality is to attain a state of grace by reciting a magical incantation. That’s it.

Alternatively, they’ve thought beforehand and placed the sign knowing that some may also want to get rid of their grenades. But as they require extra care, it’s probably a bad idea to store them in a container in the foyer of the police station.

I assume the container is regularly checked. probably daily.

Also. There’s always a story behind every warning sign like that. One might have just showed up. one might have gone off. but something happened to make someone go, “maybe we should get a sign.”

I want to know the story behind the “no grenades” sign. Kind of. It could be hilarious or … very much not.

Depends on how useful he can be

He can’t even walk twenty feet onto a golfing green. He drives his cart five feet from the ball and gets out.

Sold off to pay for the crypto pump and dump he’s setting up.

Which is just gonna make the billionaires even more wealthy.

pretty much any police department will accept firearms you want to get rid of them (and they’re legal.) Many will do a gun buy back program with “no questions asked”.

They then either destroy them or sell them off at an auction. Usually, they destroy them.

Naw.

We should tell him that we built an island and named it after him. And please let us take you and musk there.

(And then dump them with the other trash in the pacific garbage patch.)
