Unfortunately big issue is that 'tough on crime' resonates very well with the general public. 65% of Americans still believe death penalty is morally justified. There's no hope for any reform if most people don't want one.

Just fucking electronically limit the max speed to the maximum allowed in the country. That would solve most of the issues and work 100% of the time. Also, I don't care that in your fantasy scenario you have to race to a hospital at 100mph because someone cut of his head with chainsaw and there's no ambulance service.

Sure as long as 'all the virtual monitors you might ever want' is exactly one monitor. You do know that Vision Pro can only simulate one display when working with a Mac? We're talking about specific device not some imaginary thing Apple will release 10 years from now. Jesus, Mac fanboys are just the worst...

For anyone interested what happened (according to some anonymous whistle-blower):

They had to remove the door plug to replace damaged pressure seal but didn't want to run QA on the plug after installing it back so they didn't mark it as 'removed' in the tracking system, they simply treated it as door that were "opened". Parts were missed when inserting the plug, QA didn't check because it wasn't in the system, plane was delivered to the client. The rest is history.

There' s a lot of backstory to it but that's the direct cause. Supposedly.

Try Raphael (classic) and Pablo Alboran. Both have easy to understand lyrics and it's mostly pleasant pop.

For something more artsy try El Kanka. Great lyrics, more poetic with lots of word play but generally also easy to understand.

On the other hand I have no idea what Extremoduro songs are about.

Now "correrse" is a different story..

As Sci-Fi? Clearly Star Trek. It's actual Sci-Fi when Star Wars is just fantasy in space. As franchises both have better and worse movies/shows and can't be compared objectively.

I live in Spain and I remember seeing a story in the local newspaper about a guy complaining that he was released from prison before he could finish some professional course he was doing (he got ~2 year sentence). He said that outside of prison he can't afford this type of education he was getting there for free. Just imagine, prison was actually offering him a way to a better job and life later. And that's not even the famous Norway, just normal Spain. This is how it should work. Locking up people just so they suffer for a bit is sick and pointless.

There's a great show on Netflix called '60 days in'. It's silly and exploitative on the surface but read between the lines and you will learn a lot about the justice system in US. It's basically designed to dehumanize and torture people with no presumption of innocence or any safeguards. The only goal is to punish as many people as possible. That's what the society expects from it and people that run it are happy to deliver.

Yay. Just don't watch it if you don't like it.

Sorry, all judgements are final. No returns or appeals.

read some news, take some notes, write them into a document… while still sipping your coffee,

Because I cannot sip at my coffee while looking at my monitor? What a strange idea.

Yes.

It doesn't matter, the roll works in both cases. If someone disagrees be the bigger person and just agree with them.

As it's name implies, it's a crime. As such it's not legitimate but it's also not a sin. It's up to each individual and his morality to decide if he wants to be a criminal or not and it's up to the society to stop criminal behaviors that have negative impact on it as a whole.

Everyone can leave it open or close it after use. It's up to them. The next person will know what to do with it in both cases.

It's a matter of taste.

Jon is how I got sucked into US politics all those years ago. He was amazing. Look at me now, knowing things about stuff and all. Thanks Jon!

But all those articles about Boeing issues will get more people to drive. It's ironic how fighting for higher flying safety standards can kill people. The surplus in car crash fatalities in the months after 9/11 was higher than the number of passengers on all the planes involved.

People on lemmy are smart, they will get it. Right?
