Agreed. We're fucked.

Who do you think I meant by "the third branch"? The comment I replied to mentioned Executive and Judicial... there is only one more branch left... the one with the power to impeach...

In theory the congressional branch would weigh in and be the tie breaker in the dispute. If they agree with the contempt of court, then they start an impeachment, and judicial rules on it, and if executive branch continues to not enforce the law, congress can call a militia to uphold the law. If they agree with the executive branch however, the judicial branch can only hurl more words. Words without any functional weight to them. edited: for clarity

~~Even easier and faster; a quick look at google maps presents a list, their locations, hours of operation....~~ Most of these are airsoft stores apparently.

I feel like it also depends on where you go. It's a big country and the culture can be drastically different in different areas, even within the same state.

LiveScience.org mentions the same question back in 2020

Of note, it's unclear whether the dog died a natural death, or whether it was killed to be buried with its human. An analysis of its remains may reveal this mystery.

I couldn't find an answer though. Most online sources of the discovery are from back in 2020, then it's just memes.

Sega alleges infringements of the following five patents: No. 5930111, No. 6402953, No. 6891987, No. 7297361 and No. 7411307, all of which are registered in Japan.

I tried checking out that first patent there, 5930111 and who boy... is this shit hard to read

An information processing device includes: a control means for causing the player to acquire a content in response to a game execution instruction from the player; an extraction means for extracting content groups of the same type from contents possessed by the player, according to an instruction from the player; a selection means for automatically selecting fusion source contents and resource contents from each of the extracted content groups; and a fusion means for collectively fusing, for each of the fusion source contents, one of the resource contents of the same type as the each of the fusion source contents. The selection means selects, as the resource contents, contents having a rarity at or below a specific level, from each of the extracted content groups.

A fundamental flaw in this, is it still involves user data, even if "anonymized". You can advertise without any user data. We do it all the time. Does a television channel know your gender? Does a radio station know if you bought a car recently? Does the newspaper know your hobbies?

At least it appears to be something that gets triggered. In theory, if a node is not under attack or heavy usage, this isn't a consideration. Doesn't seem to be a perfect solution as it still slows the traffic of legitimate users in the event of an attack. I don't know the full details, but in the worse case it makes it easier to semi-DoS, maybe not by fully making a node unresponsive, but by making the service so painfully slow that users may give up on it.

I just tried it on Nobara. Just... application launcher (The start menu icon)->sleep. Waited, and then woke the machine back up and when the machine came back up, the game was still running. No idea if all games will play nice with that, but Satisfactory did.

Surely I misread the title. The wounded were all stabbed, surely. Nope... Cops open fired hit the suspect, 2 randos (one of which was hit in the head), and a friggin cop. All started by suspect not paying the fare. Cops made the whole situation infinitely worse than had they not showed up.
