You’re already jumping to conclusions, specifically that he was definitely in the cell with his wife when she died and that she was killed.

There’s still some doubts that can be cast, especially given the few details we have.

He didn’t have control over who could enter or leave the cell, it’s possible someone else did the murdering.

Heck with the evidence we have access to, it’s possible she never entered the cell alive.

It could have been accidental as the result of something consensual.

It could be coincidental that something consensual happened and after which see died of an unrelated cause.

It could have been suicide, where she wanted to be with him at the time.

Settings is the bloat. Control Panel reigns supreme.

Ok, this is a dangerous idea. Make your own.

You get an ice cream maker/mixer that turns a frozen bowl.

In a separate bowl mix 1 quart of light cream, 1 can of condensed milk, 1/2 cup of sugar as the base (add vanilla for vanilla flavor, melt some real chocolate with enough cream that it’s liquid for chocolate, etc, play with it, nothing solid yet)

Pour half into your mixer, let it go for 28mins, add any solids you want (if you’re planning to add a lot, you could pour less base in). 2 more min, scope it out into some containers. Repeat for the rest of the base, you can do different flavors/mix ins if you want).

My bowls are good for 2 batches before they don’t freeze enough. If you need more, you can get and freeze more bowls, or just make batches up to like every other day or so, as the bowls need to freeze.

That’s because we aren’t even 4% through.

The only 100% effective method I’ve found is pulling the plug.

Idk about anyone else, but my struggles to even just execute the command to shut off a timer/alarm…

Right, if you keep the water at the temp you want what you’re cooking in it, as heat transfers from the water to the food, you just heat the water a little more. Eventually, the food is entirely exactly the temp of the water, with no possibility of getting hotter, so the food can’t get overcooked even if it sits longer than necessary. Usually, you’ll quickly finish something after it’s done, like less than 1 min from sous vide to plate. It’s good when you have time to do the prep work but don’t have time just before the meal to do all the cooking, especially if you wanted to serve a lot of guests. Also, if someone likes food cooked to a certain doneness but is bad at judging it.

Contracts are no where near that standardized, it might just come down to the specific language/clause that was used, either done deliberately or just some lawyer group’s normalized process.

Can we channel Hideki Kamiya and wish they “will be cursed for the rest of their lives to always have poop on the soles of their shoes when they get home.”

Just putting this here if anyone is interested in someone actually trying to have done something similar.

Some human ones are also just actively really bad at it. As both a manager and applicant, I’ve seen they can hinder hiring good candidates.

Science Fiction is largely used as an allegory to explore the real human condition in a way that is parallel to political and cultural topics of the day without the inherent baggage that people would bring to exploring the real topic.

While the original quote and topic is about deploying a military as a policing force, it actually also holds true in the reverse as well, as policing forces shift towards an adversarial militarization against their community, leading directly to the issues you raised in the first comment about the failure of them to live up to the “protect and serve” motto.

While fictional events aren’t real, they are written by real people with views, desires and goals. Good writers will have internal consistency for their characters and try to ensure their external interactions have the authenticity of the ring of truth, because that’s how people will relate to the characters and story.

Good fiction is just a random meaningless story, it’s a platform for education and safe exploration of the real human condition.

Other than meeting rooms, I’ve seen some with the little privacy pods too.

I guess some people’s point is that if the automated restrictions that come with those aren’t used maliciously or commonly problematic, it shouldn’t really be a big deal for it to exist. In fact, that they do exist is probably a good thing because it prevents amateurs from making potentially hazardous mistakes, given there really aren’t any other controls on who can operate them.

From the sound of your initial post, it sounded like you were primarily building your own to evade these automated restrictions, but I’m going to assume you’re more of an enthusiast and just don’t add those features to what you build, and you build things for that intrinsic joy and customizability. If true, I think given your level of familiarity and expertise, that feels generally reasonable.

So long as the doctor isn’t otherwise or unethically benefitting from the interaction, fully agreed.

Good job admitting you don’t know the meaning of the word, here I’ll help: Accident “2a: an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance"

He only realized he could no longer back out after he asked to cancel the sale when he realized all the work he’d need to do to move out.

He went beyond the point of no return without understanding or intending to have done so, that’s an accident.

Yep, even asked his agent if he could undo it after having signed all the papers.

I know of at least 1 person in this situation, but that’s because he accidentally sold his house because he didn’t want his neighbors to give him weird looks while he smoked in front of his house.
