The death penalty should be reserved for people who absolutely will continue to commit great crimes (e.g. murder) even after they're imprisoned. Example: A crime boss that issues orders to have people murdered via visits from their lawyer.
Someone like that--even from within prison--has too much of a negative impact on society to be allowed to live. You can't take away their basic rights (like the right to a lawyer) so the most humane thing to do would be to end them as peacefully as possible. Otherwise you're going to allow them to continue committing crimes, racking up victims, and degrading society as a whole.
A convicted pedophile rapist will be incapable of committing that same sort of crime as long as they are imprisoned. Hence it's not necessary to execute them.

Red Pepper + Onion + Minced Garlic has been my favorite veggie pizza for decades now. The sweeter the onion the better.
Green Pepper + Onion is a great fallback if red pepper isn't available but you'll want to go with garlic cloves instead of minced.

There's so many things that went wrong at Boeing, not the least of which is a lack of technical competency in upper management. However, this is how capitalism is supposed to work: Old companies make mistakes or become too big/inefficient and die while new ones rise up to replace them.
The regulations surrounding aircraft should be all that's necessary to ensure their safety... If Boeing dies that will mean loads of opportunities for new competitors to spring up and replace them.
You can't rely on a market with only two players for long; let Boeing die and break up Airbus if they abuse their resulting monopoly. If necessary, subsidize competition and treat the existing monopoly as a hostile player until there's real competition.
You may think, "but airlines are too big to fail" and to that I say, "bullshit!" There's a million ways to make safe airplanes and just as many ways to improve how Boeing was doing things. The short term will likely suck but the long term will leave us better off.

Why would crickets end such an event? They're just crickets... They're only annoying late at night when you're trying to sleep and there's one in the house you can't find. They're not even that unsanitary.
It sounds like a lame D&D cantrip or something... "Nobody cares, Leena! I cast crickets!"
Then again, the event itself was vastly more lame and deserves crickets... And a pack of hungry anoles released at the same time 👍

Even sooner: When a car leaks oil onto one of these roads will that oil subsequently become radioactive for quite some time?
Water isn't as much of an issue because H20 will evaporate, break apart, and diffuse out into the wider world pretty fast (so diluted I doubt it would matter... Since it's radium, not uranium). Oil, on the other hand will stick around for a long ass time and slowly work its way out into the surrounding environment.
The same is true for all the pollution/particles from tires.

Stop using X/Twitter! Especially if you want to stop promoting hate.
Complaining on X/Twitter about hate speech is like bitching about racism at a Nazi rally.

Building your own keyboard is supposed to be fun. You do some research to figure out what you want. Maybe order some sample switches to try out, pick out a keycap set you like, and eventually settle on a kit.
When you order your kit it'll include a case, a top plate, and a circuit board. If you get one with hot swap sockets you will not have to solder anything. You can literally just press the switches in.
Then when you're done you screw everything together, put your keycaps on, and you have a working keyboard. Sometimes you have to flash the firmware as a final step but that's not rocket science. You do not have to know how to program.

You don't have to solder if you use hot swap sockets for your switches. Even if you never plan to swap the switches the hot swap sockets mean you'll never have to solder a thing 👍

Mayor: [shoots some black guy] "What? It's the same as the cops."
I've heard this phrase used often by those on the right but every time I hear it I can't help but laugh because of what **I** picture in my head. But perhaps my image is wrong! I want to read everyone else's depictions. So as to not influence the responses I will not be sharing what I imagine a "woke mob" looks like.

A simple reminder of the incompetence, idiocy, and insanity that was the Trump presidency. Here's the original story, in case you forgot: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/05/hurricane-dorian-sharpie-trump-1482839
It's really hard to get SD to output something like a cat girl hugging a fox girl so I decided to learn how to use the "segment anything" extension for a1111. The first results were great! ![Fox girl hugging bunny girl being hugged by cat girl](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/5ce0d4b7-92c0-4f75-a6f3-b417a46a340b.jpeg) Got the trifecta: A fox girl hugging a bunny girl who was also being hugged by a cat girl. But now I wanted to take it further: Can I get five different anime beast people's hugging? No, LOL. Now *yet* anyway 🤣 That's supposed to be a a fox girl, a bunny girl, a cat girl, a frog girl, and a horse girl (like Pretty Derby).

I have since learned that this "fact" isn't true... Turns out the source of that info wasn't understanding how tags work. There's actually just a lot of fanfics that *include* Astarion. Not necessarily for romance 🤷 It's still hilarious though 😁
Manufacturer wanted $25 (+shipping) for a replacement garage door opener wall switch. 13 minutes of printing + 5 minutes of soldering + two leftover Cherry MX Blue switches (that I'll be use) and the problem is solved 👍 Note: The wiring was slightly more involved than I thought... needed a resistor for the light (there's only two wires but it's got two functions: Light on/off and garage open/close. If folks are interested I could make a much fancier PCB-based version with screw terminals and whatnot. It's a very trivial schematic.
