I mean, true heat death would also imply that even your body is spent. No neurons will be able to fire. No brain activity. You won't be any different than dead.

Hopefully it brings consequences. Every time a bullet is fired, it is required (and I guess that must be in quotes for police officers...) that you be responsible for that bullet's consequences. If you shoot at a legitimate threat, but hit the bystander, you should get charged. Cop, not-cop, firefighter, good samaritan with a gun, whatever. Charge them.

Look up the CCPgrey video about who holds the keys to the kingdom. Napoleon wasn't necessarily being dismissive when he called England a nation of merchants. They were very good at organizing power structures in ways that benefited them.

I wish beyond wishing that O'rourke would have just shut the fuck up and deferred about coming after people's guns in Texas. I really wonder if he could've squeaked a victory and Texas would be quite different today. Guns are a losing issue. Even more so than abortion or 'the gays!', guns bring single-issue voters out from everywhere.

The ruling specifically said items that aren't protected under federal mandate. When I deal with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) information, just about everything you can imagine in the record is protected if it can be paired with another piece of info and narrow down a person's identity. Scroll down to the 'Protected Health Information'

Hopefully that means they can deny just about every document... but I have no hope when it comes to courts and prosecutors in the states.

I can't wait for the inevitable r34 comments about how you feed this monstrosity.

Why does it not surprise me that a company that is totally in love with the idea of poisoning people is based in texas?

That was a strange path my mind took as I read the title, thinking it was a satire piece about competitors trying to sneak in cheats... Like, the "Anti-Cheat Police Department" couldn't be anything but a laughingstock.

We'll have to wait until it's out to see. The statement that they want to minimize grind? Hoooooly crap, that's the exact opposite of what RS was. To get to the higher levels and max a skill, it was basically a mental game of sticking to the best xp/tick strategies, which could still take a month or more to max one skill. That was after they had introduced a bunch of new things. The original days? It was a third job on top of it being the second job to do it in months.

It was also really fun for being so simplistic and had a good mix of self-aware humor, so I have hope for their new game.

I think a carburetor is a bit much. There are plenty of fuel injected machines that were built before insane spying became the new normal.

And takes in kids who are orphans or have issues and gets them to focus on positive things in life, like discipline, goal setting, and putting yourself in perilous situations while in armored spandex.

While it's good advice to never intentionally connect TV to internet, some devices bypass you if they can. I think it was samsung that would connect to any other samsung product and through them to the internet, even if the other product was in your neighbor's living room.
