Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.

If I’m likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.

Otherwise, I ain’t no snitch and even if I were I don’t know anything about nothing.

I’m far from an expert on the topic, but I’ve worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.

Basically, it’s any kind of military work that isn’t affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.

It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.

Yes. You’re supposed to use it anytime you’re about to turn or change lanes, including if you’re sitting in a turn lane at a red light or backing out of a drive way or parking spot.

Not doing so makes you a road hazard.

Sure, you could look at it that way, but an equally valid way to look at it would be based on human life spans.

Average human life expectancy is 72 years. Which is, conveniently very close to the age of the oldest video game (an implementation of tic-tac-toe from 1950).

Would you call a 14 year old human old? At that point they’d be ~20% of they way through their life.

Or a paper shredder.

My job’s unlikely to go anywhere unless I commit a heinous crime and I already live well below my means in terms of required expenses.

I’m probably going to be fine, but just in case I intend to increase my cash savings and stock up a bit on nonperishable food and other required household goods.

Other than that there’s not a lot of prep I can do.

“Sounds shitty, have you considered suicide?”

Younger me was depressed, pessimistic, arrogant, and very much so an asshole with selective hearing. He would only hear the parts of what’s happened that fit what he expects to happen.

And despite quite a few negatives over the last decade or so, I’ve managed to do pretty well for myself.

He’d probably also tell me to lift with my knees. I had to do some heavy lifting at work yesterday and now my back’s sore.

My recommendations are oriented towards people with a christian background, that said a lot of the ideas involved can be applied to religious belief systems as a whole.

• Isaac Asimov’s guide to the Bible - an annotated version of the old and new testament that provides additional clarity and historical context.

• The Skeptics Annotated Bible by Steven Wells - A version of the King James Bible with annotations written from an Atheist’s perspective.

• The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins - A book that walks through a lot of the logical fallacies, magical thinking, and cognitive biases that Dawkins sees in religious belief. As the title suggests the tone of the book is rather aggressive (which I think is a bit counterproductive) but if you can read past that there’s a lot of good information.

At least as I understand it (and there’s a good chance I’m wrong) there’s nothing in US law preventing a state from seceding. It was determined that the way the southern states decided to do it in the runup to the civil war was unconstitutional (and possibly treasonous? seditious? Something like that), but there’s no law saying a state can’t secede. It’s just that there’s no defined process for it and the only way it has been tried was determined to be wrong.

From what I’ve read on the topic, there is technically a way it could be done. The country would basically have to follow the same process as passing a constitutional amendment, just with an additional step.

• The state in question would have to pass a ballot measure to secede
• The state house and Senate would have to ratify that measure with a 2/3rds super majority.
• It would have to be passed as a ballot measure by the majority of the country.
• The US house and senate would have to ratify that measure with a 2/3rds super majority.

So, not technically impossible just so difficult that it is effectively impossible.

Ireland is probably the friendliest I’ve been too. The Irish are great people.

Rome (I know, not a country, but I can’t comment on the rest of Italy) is probably the least friendly place I’ve been to. Romans are assholes. It’s a very cool city, but the people, especially outside of tourist traps suck.

The Japanese are very polite, respectful, and helpful (almost to a fault) but I’m not sure if I’d generally describe them as friendly.

I would have thought transmen would prefer Python.

!because of it’s clearly phallic naming!<

PETG is very hygroscopic. It’s one of those filaments that you should dry before using every time. Even if it’s a freshly opened package.

Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I’d actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory’s breakfast burritos.

For an additional gender neutral option, your butthole is almost as unique as your fingerprints, to the point that unless you have an identical twin it’s reasonable to assume that no one else shares your specific butthole print.

Depending on your setting and desired outcome for the poisoner, uraninite (aka pitchblende) might be an option. It has historical uses in glass making and pottery glazing, which could provide justification for why someone would have it.

It contains Uranium, which is radioactive, but I don’t believe will bioaccumulate, but can build up on surfaces, tools, and clothing providing a source of long-term radiation exposure. In addition, it contains lead, which does bioaccumulate, providing a source of gradual long term poisoning as well as radium which also bioaccumulates and is radioactive, providing an additional source of longterm radiation exposure.

We have twink primarchs already. Fulgrim on the Chaos side and Sanguinius on the loyalist side.

Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.

I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.
