It seems disingenuous to separate number of arrests from "actual frequency" when the data suggests that the ballot initiative actually made things worse. The lead researcher behind the study shows their bias with their conjecture:

"The study also looked at arrest rates for curfew violations, loitering, vagrancy, trespassing and disorderly conduct. Davis said arrests for those categories increased in Oregon after Measure 110 took effect but said there isn’t evidence to suggest the frequency of those offenses actually increased.

“I personally think it’s probably more … that the cops are like, ‘Well, I can’t arrest you for the drugs, but I told you to move along and you didn’t. So I’m giving you a ticket for that,’” Davis said."

They can say that despite the data, they think actual frequency of those offenses haven't increased, but equally valid to their gut feeling is the anecdotal evidence that homeless activity has greatly increased and most car lots now have 12ft. tall electric fences.

Yeah, but those are metric bits so they are a little bit smaller.

This doesn't look very appealing.

Comparison is the thief of happiness.

I've found that by just focusing on what I have/can do and being content, I am generally very happy.

The hardened Firefox profile sounds interesting, I've never heard of that. I'll look in to it!

Assuming you carry a flash drive around with you, what's on it? What movies, pictures or books? Any utility programs you find yourself using? Diagnostic tools?

He probably doesn't want to come back and NK probably is happy to have him. He was facing assault charges and he can probably live an ok life as a propaganda piece for NK.
