Instead of making bespoke mounts for the cables I'd think a small thin pouch would be more versatile and less likely to snag when taking the laptop in/out of a case. Or just get some velcro strips and attach the cables that way.
I'm glad we were able to discuss this productively and that our comments were voted on based on their quality and not level of agreement.
Surely if we all continue to make brash emotional responses to the concerns around firearm safety instead of effective ones we'll get this menace solved any day now.
Not worried about saving face, my reply was more a rebuttal to yours re: "Lemmy when every minor detail isn't included" etc. I would think the perpetrator's name would be more important than the caliber and manufacturer of the firearm; e.g. "GOP Politician Don Wilson Leaves a Loaded Pistol in the Bathroom" imparts more key information than the one used - and even the fact is was loaded isn't surprising since it being left in the bathroom implies it is used for self-defense and would likely be loaded. There is the possibility that it was some prop used for demonstration that was accidentally left there which would (hopefully) be unloaded so it's not a strictly extraneous detail to include so that alone I don't take issue with.
My issue is just specifying it was Glock and 9mm in the headline was simply because of the public's familiarity with the words but not what they mean necessarily [the most popular handgun in the most popular caliber] and was intended to make the scenario sound even more scary. I used the three examples to point out that they would likely report the other scenarios as simply 'left vehicle parked illegally', omit the clothing and briefcase composition regarding the shoplifting, and not specify the brand of beer or its unsurprising temperature and form factor in the parking lot drinking.
Sure, get specific in the body to accurately describe the facts, but the headline isn't meaningfully changed by omitting those points so I don't think they were needed.
Was it extra dangerous because it was a Glock pistol and not Sig Sauer? Would it have been less an issue if it was .380 Auto or .45 ACP instead of 9mm?

I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise but I just want you to recognize that your position is that you're ok with "bad" people being killed as a form of punishment and mine is that ensuring that label is always appropriately applied is an impossibility.
I don't like the thought of terrible people getting to continue to live if they've done irreparable harm to others, but I'm also not ok with saying that we totally need to burn THAT WITCH because Goody Constance totally witnessed them communing with the devil.
Osama/Hitler getting killed in military action - fine. An abused child/person killing their attacker - look the other way. Giving Edward Snowden lethal injection because he totally deserves it for endangering Americans - not acceptable.
Consider what your thresholds are for what constitutes witnesses and admissions of guilt. For example, confessing to crimes that weren't actually performed by them, do you honor the claim anyway?
And does a group of police witnessing a suspect or conversely a group of the suspect's friends witnessing a police officer do something heinous count?
Seems like there might be a lot different versions of releases, saw a Collider review which mentions a Japanese version being "somewhat better" and mentions "There’s production commentary from the laserdisc, with 26 participants, and the Cameron and screenwriter William Wisher commentary from one of the earlier DVD releases."
On IMDB I saw this mentioned:
On the 'Ultimate Edition' DVD as well as the 'Skynet Edition' Blu-ray, there are three versions of the film, albeit only two at the menu, the Theatrical and Special Edition versions. However, highlighting the 'Special Edition' option and keying in '82997' (August 29, 1997), will open a Extended Special Edition Option, with the T-1000 searching John's room and an Alternate ending added on and replaced. Some DVD players may need to push ENTER between each digit.
In the totally legitimate digital copy it has both of those elements so it's probably the 'Extended Special Edition' [Super Mega Turbo 2000]. I definitely prefer the theatrical ending.
I learned a lot about the production and design choices around Terminator 2 from the commentary -- the totally legitimate digital copy I have has 2 tracks (one labeled just director and the other director & writer) and I think I remember most stuff from the one with the writer.
James Cameron talks about paying for "digital winky removal" for the T-1000 intro scene and how he should see about getting a partial refund since they didn't completely remove the nudity from Robert Patrick in the finished scene
There's talk about the difference/debate in how to handle removing objects in post; do you make them bright and obvious in production to make it easier to see/mask them out after, or try to blend them so if you miss portions in editing they are harder to see?
Lots of little details like how they didn't want any scenes of John Connor using firearms. It was ok if he handled them and helped with reloading etc. but they didn't want to influence kids to think it was cool to shoot at people (it also works thematically with John not wanting to kill)
I haven't checked it out but I've heard good things about the Cannibal! The Musical commentary track, IIRC they get progressively drunker throughout.
I tried to link an image but comment got removed for the URL being on the blacklist - not sure if it was the image link or the link giving attribution which pointed to Twitter (I'm assuming the latter).

Hopefully I can hotlink that image. If it doesn't load it is the Corporate Memphis version of "Saturn Devouring His Son" attributed to @clayohr on twitter

I was really hoping for an Orange Cube around the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx.
