The main thing I've heard is that public defense is offen local to the court house and therefore has a feel for tone, procedure and manner. This might give them a few sympathy points, and even though obv the case itself is far more important, this makes a few things easier still.

That's a fair presumption.

Yeah that's kind of what I expected. The prosecution wants to pin down Trump, so they let a few conspirators flip to make that happen. The rest will get buried alongside Trump.

It's gonna be really interesting how trump will address/ spin this publicly. If it's only one guy who flipped, he could probably just feed him to the wolves in the media, but this is gonna be a bunch of ppl turning on him. Idk if he can convince his followers to instantly switch to hating on them. There's gonna be a bunch of ppl on the fence about trump who will take any evidence to hop off the bandwagon.

Either way, having a public criminal trial while running a campaign is about as much of a PR disaster as it's gonna get. Remember: the goal of the prosecution is to pin him down with every piece of damning evidence they can get, it's gonna get dirty.

If you got some repressed emotions this is not the place.

And for the people in the back: we don't. Lol.

I really don't see that as a good progression. We want to focus on renewables because that's the most sustainable way to go. Why go back to nuclear again?

That said if you are saying that's where the industry is moving even though that's probably not the best approach, fair enough. My opinion has zero effect on the industry.

Aaand now I feel old

I might also add there's smart algorithms being developed for about 5y+ now that distribute power surplus and deficiency over a grid. This will probably be key. Just take a look at "energy metering".

As people pointed out in another thread, nuclear energy is NOT the future and also a really bad short term solution,so countries like Germany are going back to coal short term to make the transitions to renewables in the meantime.

It's not a great solution, but without Nordstream, there's really not much else more sensible to do right now, just to make the transition.

Especially Facebook's Llama2 and any checkpoints of that model are solid.

And if you are a coder, I think there was one called "Starchart" just aimed at code autocomplete, which seems to be a good start.

But ofc as alehc already mentioned, these all exist on Hugging Face and you will find a treasure trove of AI models on there regarding every possible implementation.

Just to further your opinion:

Only ~30% of sexual assaults get reported according to this: https://www.rainn.org/statistics/criminal-justice-system

And psychologists will probably tell you that after the assault there is shame, embarrassment, fear of repercussions due to power dynamics and anxiety about what will happen. Of course this doesn't mean our society is dysfunctional, as we already managed to get a lot of systems in place to drive up this figure, but they're all far from perfect, and we need more studies and more improvements to do victims of SA better justice.

I know this is odd but thank you for this discussion, I'm learning a lot of things from knowledgeable people here and not just propaganda or parrots.

That's funny.

I use it for all of those, but also if someone uses or words I don't understand or if they bite their tongue or anything similar. I successfully managed to confuse a lot of people doing that and it brings me great joy.

Opinion 👆.

Fact: punishments can be reversed, if the punished stays alive. Any percentage of unjust executions is irredeemable. Also, there is a lot of evidence that abolishing the death penalty either does not affect the crime rate, or it has a positive effect (see link below).

More opinion: executions have no place in a society that highly values human rights because killing people is the exact opposite of humane. If you think prisoners are monsters and you could never end up in there, watch a documentary about it. If you see what some ppl went through, you know how easy anyone can end up there.

The only rub against execution to me is the risk of executing the innocent.

Right, so why is that not a total disqualifier then? Even if the risk is fleeting small, there is no taking it back. If it came out later on, dead is dead. Combining that with the fact that executions are obv a psychological cluster fuck for everyone who deals with it, especially the one executed, and the fact that it takes a lot of resources every trial because it's such an unusually cruel punishment, the arguments for it are dwindling.

Also

You know what else is cruel? People killing other people.

Right but we're not voting someone in office who can eliminate all homicides in the United States. Things are different for execution.

We could also talk about how this "well tough shit" opinion always fucks over positive and healthy change, but that's probably the least impactful argument for the folks who still bank on executions as some sort of greater good.

Good question.

last time I saw a thread about good printers on Riddit someone said basically any 90s model resell, or LaserJets if it should be modern.

In terms of open source / no DRM tho, no clue. Maybe they just don't exist or you almost have to build them from scratch?

It's nice to have a study to shove in someone's face when they talk about homeless people as if they were all absolute addicts.

Maintaining a swimming pool is an expense that many schools, especially in poorer districts can't afford.

German here: the solution for most of the schools I went to and heard of (elementary) was to get a bus to drive to the next public swimming pool and they'd let us use it for a few hours. The government is funding that. And that solution worked for most of them, although I only managed to get do my swim test after swimming classes in school because I was anxious about it.

Imagine they decide to add a DLC called "the dragon expansion" just for this guy.

Actually hilarious.
