They ran him over.

Average Russian moment

Yeah, that's not a fine, that's a fee.

Conservatives are definitely thinking of the children:

This watch has been in my family for a while, and its story is pretty classic. I'm Finnish, and a branch of my family tree ended up migrating to the US in the 19th century. Some eventually came back, and one who had been a train dispatcher brought this watch with him.

I just had it repaired and cleaned, so now it runs perfectly again and looks great.

It's great that this article linked to the original journal article. Nice that it's open access, too! So good to see that it's becoming more common. The academic publishing business is just so… well, in a word, fucked.

I've run into this problem with many open source projects. It's sometimes really hard to find out what the hell something actually does based on just the project's own pages. It took a while for eg. join-lemmy.org to actually describe what Lemmy is, for example, instead of just going on about it being open source and secure and federated and blah.

Conservatives only like cops when they abuse minorities or pretty much anyone else who isn't reich-wing. "They're hurting the wrong people!"

How is it that gaming as both an industry and as a hobby so consistently manages to attract the worst people you can imagine?

What are you talking about, the US has the best legal system money can buy

how is this different than any other standard military frag bomb or grenade?

Cheaper and probably less effective than a purpose-built one, that's more or less it. As to why vatniks are so worried about them, well, your guess is as good as mine. These do look sorta gruesome compared to regular 'ol factory-made frag mortar rounds that the Ukrainians have generally been using, so maybe vatniks just assume that they're somehow worse?

Our best hope in the face of inevitable rises in heat? Cooperation.

Yeah, we're fucked

Or you shedding some of your microbiome's bacteria and fungi into the environment and whoops: they outcompeted something "local" and now whole species change.

I honestly don't think there'd be any way to avoid doing something that could possibly change the future in a dramatic way, because that far back incredibly minute changes could possibly lead to huge differences (because chaos theory), to the level of "a butterfly didn't flap its wings because I accidentally squashed it with my time machine, and now humanity never happened. Oops." But any change that means you didn't ever go on your trip means you have some sort of paradox on your hands, and then it becomes a question of how timelines work
