JUST because he's black?
He would be harshly investigated by internal affairs and severely punished with a 30-day paid suspension. Not saying it's like that everywhere, but it seems to happen like that an awful lot :-(

Yeah I'm also struggling to see the logic in this.
The dude is already sort of a folk hero. If you kill him you will absolutely be creating a martyr. It's going to be one of those things that might not make a big impact right away, but the worse shit gets for rank and file Americans the more they will remember Luigi. And that's when you get copycats...

That's really too bad. This sort of effort should be directed at something specific rather than just being performant :(

Unfortunately that seems to be the Democrat playbook these days. Make a lot of noise, but don't suit up for the actual battles that would win the war.

Exactly! So we throw him in a for-profit prison, where he is essentially a caged animal made to fight with the other caged animals. After a decade or two we put him out on parole with no marketable skills and a felony conviction to ensure nobody will hire him.

Then we act confused about why recidivism rates are high.

Oh for sure I agree.
I was just trying to point out the hypocrisy of jailing the gangbanger or letting him go versus throwing the book at Luigi and trying to execute him.

So riddle me this. Inner City, poor area, 2:00 a.m.
One gang member approaches another rival gang member, pulls out an illegally modified full auto pistol, dumps an entire 30 round magazine into him.
Does he get the death penalty?

Nope. There are a great many species of mosquitoes. The only one that bites humans is the female of one specific species. Those little fuckers have killed more humans than any other cause of death, second only to being killed by other humans.

There has been some fairly extensive studies and it has been conclusion that even if we extincted that specific species, it would not cause major ecological changes.

Currently the best way we have of eradicating them large scale is by genetically modifying and releasing huge numbers of them that are non-fertile. If this is able to specifically target that species and not kill others, it could be a more effective answer.

DMs are exactly what you expect, like private email. Every service has some form of this.

Reddit chat is real time, designed for shorter messages and real-time communication.

The other difference is that everybody uses Reddit DMs and nobody uses Reddit chat. I have my chat turned off as do most others that I talk to.

So this is yet again another example of Reddit management not reading the room and forcing the use of a system people generally don't want.

Sad but true. And they are taking some good stuff with them.

Squeeze box back in the day was the biggest competitor to Sonos. All open source. Logitech bought them, then just shut it down for no apparent reason. Same thing happened with Harmony. Best user programmable remote on the market, Logitech buys them, then shuts them down for no apparent reason.

I wish someone would scrape together a few million bucks or whatever Logitech would want to sell both brands, buy them, and resurrect them.

Not at all. In fact Creality seems quite open for a Chinese company. There's literally an option on the touch screen menu to enable root access. That gives you full SSH access to everything on the board, no hacks or jailbreaks needed.

The firmware is Klipper based, mostly open but there's a few binary bits. There are some open source firmware forks but the one thing they haven't got running yet is the bed pressure sensor so you need to add a separate sensor for leveling and z axis zeroing.

However the stock firmware works great and with some open source scripts you can add whatever you want to it like fluidd/mainsail.

My k1 Max has lived its entire life on a private network segment, only internet access it gets is NTP to set the clock. It's perfectly fine. I have never registered with Creality cloud nor has the machine tried to force me too. I use orca slicer and feed it the g code and it works great.

Yes it can.

The fob has no idea what it has access to, in most systems it just has a serial number. When you tap it on the reader, the reader scans its serial number. The system has a list of which key numbers are allowed to open which doors at which times, if your key matches it opens the door. These almost always have some kind of log of which key opened which door when. Whether the building management knows how to access that is anyone's guess.

If he loves in a building with fobs there's probably cameras also.

So if he's worried about after the fact investigation into his movements, he should live somewhere else.

The problem isn't capitalism. US has always had capitalism and once we put good protections in it worked great, like post WWII up until like 1990ish. That golden arrow was mainly because there were strong protections for workers that were relevant to the time. A man working minimum wage could live decently and feed his family.

The three factors of production are land, labor, and capital. All three are supposed to have equal seats at the table. But starting somewhere between the Reagan years and 1990s, we started to let capital run the table. Labor took a back seat. And what we have now is the result.

Housing and health care became investments rather than services. Minimum wage didn't track inflation, didn't track CPI, and sure as hell didn't track worker productivity. The federal minimum wage has less buying power today than at any point since the minimum wage was implemented. And there is a very real trickle down effect, in that if the lowest worker is making $7.25, all other wages adjust based on that. IE, the slightly higher end worker makes $15 or $20 because that's double or triple the minimum wage. If the lowest worker was making $20, the slightly higher end worker would be making $40 or $60.

The result is that the American people have less buying power at their disposal than they have in a very long time. Significantly less than during those golden years of the latter 1900s. And that is why shit sucks.

Capitalism is not the problem. Unchecked unregulated capitalism is the problem. Regulatory capture is part of that problem. And that's what we have now in many industries.

Fix that, raise the minimum wage, and stop letting corporations exploit not just workers but the nation as a whole. Then you have some capitalism that works for everybody.
