US cops get gun stuck to MRI machine in bungled cannabis raid
  • No misunderstanding - I get what you're saying and I disagree.

    I also don't agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we'd also recognize the journalist's ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

  • Sure they do. The gun clubs I've joined foster an environment that attracts people who demonstrate care and consideration in all aspects concerning firearms. If someone is lazy and imprecise in the manner in which they communicate about guns, that might also apply to their general demeaner. After speaking with some of these fellows during public range days, it's not surprising when later they're shooting holes in the shelter roof or bouncing ricochets off the top of the berm.

  • 100% tire pressure
  • Aah, gotcha. I had thought that

    Probably less these days

    was in reference to this part at the end of the parent comment:

    cars generally float around the 32 psi area

    and I haven't seen anything to contradict all the previous literature on under-inflated automobile tires being worse for fuel economy.

  • Another valuable life lesson from Elmo and friends!
  • Generalizations that are oversimplified to the point of lacking all nuance are probably untrue because there are bound to be exceptions. Instead, try including 'many', 'most', or such as an easy remedy.

    Specifically, landlords can create value when they handle property management and maintenance (and the related costs) efficiently. It is wrong that greed has made that so rare.

  • Who Stops a "Bad Guy With a Gun"?
  • It also doesn't make any distinction between events that took place where the intended victims were allowed to be armed or not. Of course there will be less instances of armed defenders in areas where arms are prohibited.

    OPs premise is akin to the "small government" advocates who ruin government services and then point at how they don't work.

  • Unsealed FBI doc exposes terrifying depth of Russian disinfo scheme
  • The affidavit does not mention the full list of influencers [...]

    Well, why not? Name and shame all of them.

    FTOP:

    keeping a list of more than 2,800 influencers world wide [...] to monitor and potentially groom

    You want to persecute the victims? These people are being targeted by the Russian state and probably haven't done anything wrong. They should be protected from that, and also from those who are too quick to judge before they understand the situation.

  • Shocked face
  • There is no real need to use captured products though, so OP's question is flawed.

    Any desire to use said products (or not) needs to weigh the pros and cons of the captured products vs alternatives.

  • Legality of removing sim cards from cars in Australia
  • Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

    Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here's an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you'd want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you're considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

  • Garry Newman of Facepunch comments on the Nintendo takedown of Garry's Mod content
  • I'd like to think there is a universe where Nintendo and other companies recognize the value that these add to their brands and proactively issue free licenses to use the IP as a component of how they maintain and enforce rights.

  • Reminder...
  • Don't forget that it's not ok to vote for your candidate because they don't already have enough support, therefore there's no way to ever reach the threshold where it'll be ok to vote for them.

    It's only ok to vote for the neolibs that the billionaires approve after a promise that nothing's really going to change.

    Even in a state that's so blue the Dems have no chance of losing, voting for or writing in someone left of the incumbent will still be deemed a vote for the red team.

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto
  • But what about all the real valuable assets these companies would have these days? Like the multitude of 5 year old PCs, 1990s era Hermann-Miller office furniture, the buildings and land they lease... /s

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • This is the equivalent of saying that MS Outlook is a community. It's not and neither is Lemmy. Each server has its own rules, and each community on those servers can add rules beyond that.

    Address a specific community or server, there's no central control over the fediverse.
