    Will there be any poor people left in CA in 2035?  Maybe that's why they're not concerned about the impact on the lower and middle class.

    Not giving a shit about the lower and middle class is just about the most American thing they could do tbh

    How is it off-topic?  Y'all are getting yourselves all lubed up to jack off like Randy Marsh to the unrest that is sure to come in Louisville.  I foolishly thought that context might matter to y'all.  I guess not.

    I guess this will only help things.....

    Armed men, walking in the middle of the street, coming up to drivers with weapons in hand......

    Doesn't that belong on this thread?  I was told that sort of thing belonged here.

    If a car drove straight into that crowd and then the driver shot someone, they'd be justified for doing so because the pedestrians were armed and it's violence to block a street right? It'd just be good ol self defense!!

    One is all you need.  Why would they lie about it?  The witness who heard it lived upstairs, obviously very close.  

    It was the middle of the night.  You really can't believe that people asleep might not be awoken by or recognize the first loud noise (yelling "Police") but then hear a likely significantly louder volley of gunfire?

    A better argument would be that only 1 witness hearing police identifying themselves might suggest it was a very quick one yell and then knock the door down.

    Ah well then the homicide of an innocent person sleeping in their own home is just spilled milk then, carry on. 

  4. I guess my issue is that this police department has already lied about multiple facts and demonstrated they are unreliable narrators. But yet, the grand jury was fed all of the evidence generated by the police investigating themselves. And somehow they find that the police did nothing wrong after killing an innocent woman sleeping in her own home in the dead of night. 

    That's how fucking riots happen.

    the attorney general is punting to the grand jury a whole bunch during this presser, without referring to the fact that many grand juries are steered. he also said he will not release the grand jury report.

    Smells like a good ol AG intentionally spiking the case and presenting it in as confusing a way as possible. I don't doubt that they provided all the evidence to the GJ, but I do doubt that the AG presented it in a coherent and just manner

  6. One could even postulate that a system that allows the wanton murder of innocent citizens is fundamentally broken and in need of reform. What a load of horse shit, I bet they used the split second reasoning that cops always fall back on after they create the dangerous situation in the first place. 

    It is fucked that the AG is playing defense for the homicidal officers, but that's our system. If you don't like it, you hate america. Or are a troll from the cabal or something like that

    hdmi can handle 4k/144, but requires compression for 8k/60/120.  displayport 2 can handle 10k uncompressed.  and i took leamas's post to mean he wanted something like 5120x2160, which is just illustrative of why using columns instead of rows was and is stupid.

    HDMI 2.1 supports 4k/120 and 8k/60 with no compression by spec, but it will do 10k/120 with compression. But yeah I agree you're better off just using displayport or thunderbolt if you have the option

  8. It's pretty interesting - this exact convo just went down in Senate testimony w/ Dr's Fauci and Redfield. The infectious disease expert opinion is that it's not "community immunity" driving the drop in positivity in US hotspots like NY, but it's actually following social distancing and face covering guidelines recommended by the CDC. 

    Same rhetoric being used to attack NY and boost Sweeden, too lol

    Just curious, what would you have done differently if you were in charge? 

    • Don't kneecap public health efforts like mask mandates and social distancing guidelines
    • Don't send 10+ tons of PPE overseas, instead send it to hospitals where medical staff are refurbishing and reusing disposable PPE because they have nothing else
    • Don't give $$millions in DPA contracts to companies/entities who have never once created the testing and PPE equipment that they're under contract to supply
    • Push for more and broader testing, and make the anonymized data public and easily accessible
    • Don't lie to the American people on the danger and infection risks of COVID

  10. Dan Carlin has recently been putting out some good stuff - just put out episode IV of Supernova in the East (WWII from Japan's perspective, starting with the rise of imperial Japan) and his most recent episode of Common Sense does a good job of looking at current going-on through a historian's lens
