In the immortal words of Everlast (House of Pain), “It ain’t a crime if you don’t get caught”.

Or it’s bullshit for clicks

Wendy’s lost me when they stopped giving a tiny cup of melted cheese for your fries upon request. Last time I went, they wanted 75¢ for a half filled ketchup cup of cheese. Nickel and dimed themselves to death.

Epic and Valve on the slop slide. This is an opportunity for GOG and its game preservation efforts.

That’s the other half of the two parter when Picard has a lively debate over how many lights there are.

…let him die quietly forgotten.

After we have seized all of his, and his families ill gotten gains. So basically, every asset.

Not even after you broke out the DoubleDongle?

A single piece of media, then Neuromancer, but really it’s the entire cyberpunk literary subgenre of the 1980’s and 90’s, including the Cyberpunk TTRPG.

Looks like Bibi got his ass kicked.

That’s why I compared it to reading Lolita. Wholly detached from reality.

A very well written portrait of how horrifyingly “well intentioned” evil can be.

The article reads like Lolita. Alexander is the unreliable narrator that is convinced he isn’t the bad guy. He regrets the deportations and acknowledges that the ICE program is in Ingram because of him, but he isn’t the bad guy. He was fired as a deputy for having an affair and using Sheriff resources to facilitate it, but he isn’t a bad guy. The investigator called him a disgrace before throwing him our of the Sheriff’s department, but he isn’t a bad guy. Sure.

You are correct and I missed the crossfire bit. Never point a ballistic weapon at anyone you don’t want to injure or kill.

That acknowledgement out of the way, I think you are trying so hard to win an argument, rather than acknowledge that your initial comment was incorrect, that you have drifted into making yourself look foolish (no hostility intended)

That’s a really good way to kill people.

I think it has been well established that this was incorrect. Birdshot fired at an airborne drone is extremely unlikely to injure anyone, much less kill them.

They already make non ballistic ways to take out drones.

Although technically true, these are not available for civilian purchase and/or are highly illegal to use, so they might as well not exist.

I get that your original reply was well intentioned, but it was ill informed. Hopefully this discussion has helped.

My condolences.

If you shoot birdshot (small bb gun pellets) up in the air, they will have very little speed on the way down. Birdshot is what is used in skeet shooting.

Maybe you should have read what you shared.

The Kim Possible star continued: ‘There was another party with us and they unsafely fired in the wrong direction and shot me in the face.’

Ain’t nobody gonna waste expensive slugs like that, plus they are useless against drones. Birdshot is what’s uses for skeet shooting. Any proper Texan would know this.

Time to take up skeet shooting.
