You don't get it... Why we should be afraid of someone breaking our house?
Thiefs don’t carry weapons. If they were arrested with deadly weapons (including knife), that would add decade of prison time for them. It’s being like that since centuries...
Also: they breaks home when we are not home.
So weapons are useless. You are not more safe with them. It’s just a way to escalate a dangerous situation to a deadly situation.
After some time, you just shield yourself automatically with several layers of mental protection and you have several ready-to-use answers so everything is fine (spoiler: it’s not)
In EU, we know the cost of any wars and the fact creating a new circle of violence doesn't resolve anything.
We don’t have one village without a monument commemorating the dead people from the past wars. Everybody have at least a family member who fight or died because of a war... Just go one or two generations in the past (in my case my grandmother lost 2 sisters in WW2, my grandfather was captured and sent in acamp for 2 years and managed to escape and walk back to south of France. My other grandfather family moved to France because of Franco repression in Spain, another cycle of violence...)
All my ancestors have fought for the land i'm currently on during thousand of years... We have thousand of years of war history behind us... against germany, against the UK, against the whole EU at some point "thanks" to Napoleon, and i could go to the medieval time, or even before when we fighted against Rome...
And you know what? I work everyday with Germans, British, Italian people... I didn’t kill them because they are not responsible of their leaders actions and country history...
You prosecute the responsibles of an attack (in the worse case you sent a little squad to assassinate the leaders if they hide and plan to harm you again) BUT you don’t murder all the civilians around to achieve this result. This is madness and incompetence. And that create a new cycle of violence that your children will have to pay at some point...
From me for example. I follow this studio and team since many years and i've participated to the funding of Divinity: Original Sin (DOS) more than a decade ago...
They got money from several sources but mainly because (or i should say thanks to) they delivered good products, they have being able to survive and work on BG3. Luck is not the reason, they've worked hard to achieve that...
Well, we could argue than having everyone in the same building is also a risk (traffic/weather issues could block all operators to come for example).
So having operators dispatched in several towns with probably multiple Internet providers could reduce this risk. In case of real big crisis, I agree it's better to have everyone at voice reach, in the same room.
But, while a global internet outage could be a real risk for operators at home, having everybody able to join from everywhere can mitigate that.
And in case of a global internet disruption (another big risk that could happen), well classic mobile users would have also issues to contact 911 as lot of 4G/5G towers use internet instead of internally owned network to transmit our calls and data (the old copper landline disappear more and more).
Note that I agree with yours points too, their is pro and cons everywhere :-)
Bravo, very good explanation! As fun fact, i still have at work several DEC ALPHA and OpenVMS servers (some are now VM but we still have physical servers from this era managing our data) and Ctrl+C works well!
Totally useless "article". You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It's like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.
Yes, but as soon all jumped, the aircraft dive to land and load the bext batch of skydivers.
The plane is usually already on the ground, loading, before the previous batch touch ground.
BUT the plane must dive far from the skydivers obviously. Was probably not the case here. More you go fast to land, better is the profit (quick rotation = more people = profit)
Edit: whoua, just read the french articles about this. The pilot didnt had a valid license at the time of the accident. He was not fit (in term of health) to fly any plane that day...
Comparing LA with Paris and saying is easier in Paris is quite a statement!
LA have large roads, grid configuration and a relative recent age: 250 years. And lot of people around.
Paris have 2000+ years of history with layers of people coming around too, no grid configuration but roads created for pedestrian and horses, with some of them existing since thousand of years. And we have a big river in the middle (la Seine), unstable basement with many caves making the creation of any subway a living hell. And on top a lot of historical buildings are protected making demolition for new road impossible.
But despite that, we have good transportation alternatives on top of classic and totally full car roads: trains, subway, bus, cycle. Not perfect, lot of improvements still needed but things change, step by step... And people has been relocated multiple time to allow that. But it easier when the costs are payed by our global taxes and some LONG term plan. we have also the concept of public interest project to relocate people and businesses if they are in a place useful for a future transportation plan.
In LA, i don't see the change really empowered at the political level, at town level. With large road like yours with no hard turn, you could put so many alternatives transportation:
rail track for tram or automatic train
dedicated bus line
bike protected line
with tree separation in the middle and free ticket to encourage the use of public transportation.
Does LA mayor / administrators promote this kind of alternatives? Because it's what all big towns in France are pushing since decade's already.
You're not gun scientist rigth... but what's your opinion on the gun control today? Do you think the current situation is ok? If so, why America is so different than other countries regarding the number of death by gun ?
What is your opinion on guns and only guns today ? (because you didn't take a position at all. It's acceptable if you're a child but not if you're an adult)
It's opt-in if i remember well and you can avoid sharing it with 1 click in the options.
For the devs, that help them a lot to tune the difficulty of the game in some sectors and find what to improve... For once it's not to sell you something, just to improve our experience.
