> Wealthy business or person calls cops to report a crime: cops immediately act upon it I guess Hertz doesn't count as a wealthy business, since they're going bankrupt?

> It's not a rootkit, it's a kernel-level driver. That's like saying "It's not a vehicle, it's a truck."

Only for very particular kinds of games. And the meaning of "cheat" isn't even clear, different communities have different standards for what is permitted. Codifying any particular…

> 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the first favored by pay-to-win servers and pvp specializing servers, while 1.12.2 is favored for modding? Both seem pretty ni…

You missed it, or maybe your translation left it out? Search for 'Apothetae': > Nor was it in the power of the father to dispose of the child as he thought fit; he was obliged to c…

The US Navy has lost/dropped some nuclear bombs too. But what he means is they've never had a serious reactor accident. They've lost two nuclear submarines, but neither was due to …

> Uranium isn’t dangerous by itself Well.. it's not a huge deal but don't eat it. I have a bit of uranium ore on my bookshelf, but I avoid handling it and wash my hands after I do.…

Both at once would be quite a shitshow. Soil liquefaction floats your tornado shelter right out of the ground, then the tornado smashes it. I can't imagine what it would take to su…

Does Brave have their own extension 'store' yet? Last I heard they're still piggybacking off Chrome's. I see no point in Brave supporting the old API if none of the extensions do.

I'm not sure about those particular air rifles, but there are .177 and .22 caliber air rifles capable of 50J or more. A half gram .117 pellet at 1600fps is 60J. They should definit…
