There is no fix. You can't make it cheaper... it's as expensive as it is because you have to be certain without a shadow of a doubt, which means many legal cases and appeals and whatnot. Unfortunately even after all of that, 200 people have still been sentenced to death and later exonerated. Many innocent people were executed before being posthumously exonerated... https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/database/innocence

The death penalty is significantly more expensive than life in prison actually.

A preliminary study by South Dakotans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, examining first-degree murder cases since 1985 that have resulted in a death sentence or life in prison, found that on average, legal costs in death penalty cases exceeded those in the other cases by $353,105.[24]

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure giving breaths is outdated advice. It's 100% chest compressions now. I think the only exception is if they drowned.

Battletoads has nothing on Ghosts 'n Goblins! I can at least play Battletoads until the stupid vehicle jumping section. I don't think I've ever even made it more than like 3 checkpoints into Ghosts 'n Goblins

My mind went to the joke about how there will never be marijuana in a kid's Halloween bag because nobody is going to waste marijuana like that. I was like there's no way in hell someone is wasting marijuana plants like that lol

I am fairly certain the original version of this meme has red shirt saying Linux and getting beat up

I loved Project Gotham Racing because it rode the line between arcade game and simulator quite nicely. I haven't seen anything like it since.

You also need to fully encrypt the traffic in your bit torrent client. You will get fewer peers, but it's much safer

This is how I keep seeing option 1 where the longer line is a chin/fat roll 😅

 
 

A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

 

Kurabba, the #1 player in the world, beat Isai sending him to losers bracket 1-3. Isai turned on the heat and proceeded to steamroll the rest of the tournament and beat Kurabba 6-0 resetting the bracket and taking the championship! Truly the GOAT. His aggressive pikachu was amazing to watch.

 

I tried browsing this community and using https://fedi-search.com/, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know if it can? If not, are there other applications that can?

Lightning sprites

Lightning sprites literally look like something out of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they're frankly horrifying! I can only imagine what ancient civilizations must have thought.

 

But that-

ONCE AND FOR ALL!

I ran into this while taking geology courses at university, and the lack of attention to detail by the developers is frankly insulting.

EDIT: The red line is what the developers did. The green line is what they should have done for realism. Explanation in the comments.

I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.
