  • It’s extremely strange that no details have been released in this case. I kinda doubt it’s actual full-bore corruption, that’s still fairly rare here, but man for a case involving a foreign citizen it’s sure suspicious they’re so quiet about it. And even in texas there’s so few situations where a fatal shooting doesn’t merit charges. It seems a little far fetched for her to have, say, been mugging someone who then shot her in self-defense. Was she shot by some kind of trained combat armadillo? A senile centenarian who passed away during the investigation? A very small child? (actually those last two are feasible, though in both cases the owner of the firearm they got ahold of would probably have been charged, though it’s texas so that isn’t 100%). Those are the only sort of examples where this might be justified, but lets be honest it was probably the cops.

    Just fucking weird. Her poor family.

    I was in the building when when a 3F 1200V capacitor, part of a multi-rack mounted capacitor bank (powered a magnetohydrodynamic modeling experiment), failed. It ripped the rack’s 30cm mounting bolts out of the floor, launched the three-tonne rack hard enough to crack the ceiling and shattered every window in the facility. I want to say that afterwards I never broke the rule about not being allowed to enter the experiment room until the banks were discharged, but I’d be lying. Undergrads are idiots, and holy cow don’t fuck around with those caps…



  • “The administration” is (usually!) used to refer to the monolithic entity that continues without interruption (office of the prez, congress etc), “this administration” is used to refer to the specific current government/clarify in cases of ambiguity. Weird quirks of american english, what fun…

    (Not disagreeing to be clear. Although this is a bit more transparently “dancing to the tune of the puppet master” than most of the US’s other forays into the mid. east, I must say.)





  • I’m assuming you’ve contacted 911 / emergency services since you know that the ambulance is 20 minutes away. In that case, the dispatcher will step you through an emergency diagnosis and if such an extreme action is warranted either they will put you in touch with a medical professional who can instruct you on safe procedure, or they will be a qualified paramedic and instruct you themselves. However that is EXTREMELY unlikely, tracheotomy are almost never warranted (outside of television) in emergency situations, as stabbing someone in the neck is not a trivial thing to do. In my region the procedure isn’t even taught to first responders (Edit: I was half wrong, paramedics still learn it but EMTs do not) (Edit 2: No, I was right! Neither are taught it) as it’s long been surpassed by modern intubation techniques and treatments like fast-acting anaphylaxis medications.

    In short, follow the guidelines you are taught in your first aid class and contact emergency services. Don’t stab someone in the neck.







  • If that’s all it takes to dumbfound you, I am profoundly jealous. Anyways.

    Those aren’t the claims fauxliving was making. They claim that there is no indication of taketwo requesting root level access and they’re strictly right, there is no language requesting that permission (or equivalents) (but I doubt that would matter to TakeTwo since they could argue it’s implicit)

    They then claim that there has been no change to the game to include kernel level anticheat, which is also true.

    What you presented does nothing to substantiate or refute those claims, just the claims made in the OP. Fauxliving’s comment was arguably off base, sure, but substantially their points are correct.
