I’m not sure I can agree. Why did they not simply wait to get the facts before filing charges?
This guy has had to deal with the fallout of being charged/arraigned/etc. and probably had to retain a barrister. The news said that they dropped the charges due to a conviction being practically impossible. Reading the details, it sounds like there was a strong defense for the resident to claim that most of the cuts were from the home invader cutting himself up on the window he broke in through…
So the charges were not dropped because it’s ok to defend yourself, the charges were dropped because they can’t prove that this guy sliced up the home invader.

This case doesn’t do anything to show where the line is.

Alright, so if someone breaks in to your home with a crossbow, what is the limit on your self defense?

Thank you. Deeply troubling, but I’d rather have awareness than not.

Because Canada considers DUIs a felony-level offence, regardless of how the home jurisdiction considers it.
There are places in the states where it’s a misdemeanor and has a lower bar for conviction than the Canadian provinces have, but to the border entry requirements, a DUI is a DUI.
That said, there are ways to become readmissible, but it’s a huge pain in the ass.

I haven’t heard about this. Do you have some sources I can read?

Are you saying that if someone breaks into your home with apparent intent to cause harm that you can’t defend your person with whatever means necessary? I think that if someone breaks in brandishing a weapon that it should be open season.
This isn’t a case of a homeowner beating up a drunk that accidentally broke into a house thinking it was their own and fell asleep on the couch.

I think that mergers like this only ever benefit those who are responsible for taking the money out of the companies beforehand.
I believe that there has never been a merger of two near equally terrible companies that has ever benefited the consumers or the general public. It is almost always geared to getting a small number of investors paid.

I think they did 20+5=15=3x5

Not right, but might explain it. It’s like when 33% smaller meets 50% larger when comparing 100g and 150g versions of the same product.

The whole thing looks like it was recovered from a fire.

Honestly, I try to avoid knowing any more about him than I can. I know a bunch of meta details, but didn’t dig that far into it.

I thought it was Mr. Hands, the aerospace engineer, that made us require that distinction.

Good points well made.

No. O is rarest. The chromosome pairs are made of A,B,O. A & B are Dominant, O is recessive. If I’ve done the math right, there’s 144 ways to combine the genes of parents giving a resulting distribution of
A 33.3%
B 33.3%
AB 22.2%
O 11.1%

Because AA, AO, OA all result in type A… BB, BO, OB all result in type B… AB and BA both result in type AB… Only OO can produce type O blood.

Edit: I assumed even distribution of alleles, which is incorrect as pointed out below.

Ich, ein Engländer: "Ich verstehe das nicht.“ Meine Freundin: "Lies es laut vor.“ Ich: “Ich…goddamnit.”

Das war gut.

Modern CFLs use an arc? I thought they were cathode based, emitting UV from forcing mercury vapour to dance

You mean the keylocks and turbo buttons that started in the mid 80s and ended in the early naughties?

A cropped version of this video was my introduction to Gesaffelstein.

QC has stronger protections than neighboring ON does, actually. If the employee has more than 2 years of service they simply cannot be dismissed without just cause. Even under 2 years there are a bunch of protections, but at 2+ it gets harder.

100%. They’ve announced the plans for SpaceX to have an IPO, this will basically eliminate all of his losses even if they just shut down xAI immediately following acquisition (which they won’t do just yet, because people are still bag holding AI investments.)
This guy might be a dumb fuck, but he’s the smartest dumb fuck in the billionaire game.

Edit: Some of his capital investors might have told him that they want out of xAI because they see where the wind is blowing. This gets them out with profit if they pull it off fast enough.
This (SpaceX IPO) is going to be a massive rug pull, for the 2nd round of public traders and I bet that he’s got structure in place to ensure that even after selling billions of dollars of shares he still holds 51% or some shit, or that his annual compensation is $0+1% of the company.
10 years ago I would have bought into a SpaceX IPO. Not today.
