Wasn’t it already decided that police are not obliged to help anyone? How can this go anywhere?

Let’s see … seven letters, starts with an F, ends with a T …

Fuckwit?

That you know of.

Monk doesn’t go that far, and it’s still obvious. “Here’s a joke before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause. “Here’s a little cliffhanger before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause.

I’ve been watching Monk recently, without ads, and it’s very interesting how television shows used to be written and edited for commercials. It’s dead obvious where the commercials used to be, and even that detracts from the overall experience.

Taking up two parking spaces? Prison is good enough.

Life without parole.

Those are all arguably fair - but they seem to apply to national military judicial systems as opposed to civilian criminal courts.

Edit: And when it comes to the United States, those offenses would be federal ones, found in the Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994 - an Act which I still think goes too far. Above, I used the word “state” in its general sense. US States have no purpose applying capital punishment beyond revenge.

The only purpose executions serve is revenge, and the state should not be in the revenge business.

It’s not a bribe, silly. It’s selling legislation.

Fuck shit stack

Of course, you know the difference between a Garbanzo bean and a chickpea.

If you make hummus in a mailbox, and eat it later, you are eating it posthummusly.

Regarding your number three, a lot of the time you’re cold calling some wage slave who has neither the interest nor authority to buy anything from you.

“Every business is a fuck” gets my vote, but the people you’re cold calling are not necessarily a fuck.

Something which has not been mentioned yet - Russia controls DNS resolution for any .ru site, and here’s how that works:

When you browse, say, www.yandex[.]ru, your computer needs to know the IP address of a server that hosts that site. Let’s say you are not using an ISP or public DNS server to get your name resolution from DNS hostname to IP address. (All of the following is essentially still what happens, just with a less complicated explanation.)

First, your computer contains a list of root DNS servers. Every DNS query starts with a root server, and those root servers are associated with the often-excluded ‘.’ at the end, like “www.yandex[.]ru**.**” - that trailing dot at the end always exists, we just don’t type it.

The root server says, “Here’s a DNS server which is authoritative for the .ru top-level domain, go ask them.”

Then your computer asks the .ru DNS server where to find www.yandex[.]ru, and the .ru DNS server says “Here’s the server that is authoritative for the “yandex” subdomain under .ru, go ask them where their “www” host is.”

Then your computer asks the yandex[.]ru DNS server where to find www.yandex[.]ru, then that DNS server says “Here’s the IP address that goes with that hostname,” and your computer asks the server at that IP for the website.

Again, Russia controls DNS resolution for anything at .ru. All they would need to do for any subdomain beneath .ru is provide their own authoritative DNS server for yandex[.]ru - or for any other whatever[.]ru DNS name. They could then redirect all browsing traffic to anything under .ru to anything they wanted.

Those FBI takedown pages? This is exactly how that is done. The FBI doesn’t reconfigure a server at the “correct” IP; they redirect DNS for the subdomain to their own IP and own web server in order to display the takedown page. That operation is performed within legal limits, but from a technical perspective, such an operation could just as easily happen outside of legal limits, especially when the party trusted to properly respond to DNS queries is Russia.

tl;dr: Russia can very easily redirect any traffic to any .ru site to anywhere they want.

Limousine spider.

They also appear to be smart, aggressive, and territorial. I have been chased by several. And I have run away with great haste.

This picture clearly shows cats and you have posted it to @cat@lemmy.world

Cool, cool, cool - Jim Jordan, too, right?

In this specific example, I believe the driver buckled the child, closed the door, then was unable to open any door before starting the vehicle. Is it possible to either start the vehicle or at least turn on the climate control from outside? If not, this was a horribly dangerous situation.

The car’s owner, Renee Sanchez, was taking her granddaughter to the zoo, but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again. “My phone key wouldn’t open it,” Sanchez said in an interview with Arizona’s Family. “My car key wouldn’t open it.” She called emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched to help.

Just so nobody thinks someone left a kid in the car and then went into a store or something. Tesla should be paying for the broken window repair at the very least.

Palestine being a wholly recognized nation with borders would make it so much easier for the world community to use its leverage on both Israel and Palestine for any of their shenanigans. As it stands now, it’s still arguably “an internal conflict.”

That’s a lot different from “attacking a sovereign nation.”
