To quote the article: > Reparations? Perhaps – although there is not enough money in all of Britain to cover the sums that Patnaik identifies. In the meantime, we can start by setting the story straight. In your world, do you see a place

Recently got a used Fujifilm X-T20 and love it. It can be full auto or full manual, and I like that aperture and shutter speed can be changed with knobs instead of touchscreen (unlike the otherwise excellent Sony mirrorless cameras). Also i

No expertise, but just offhand one could use beanbags, rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray, tranquilizers, etc - Is there a good reason that these are not options? Why jump straight to shooting someone multiple times? Maybe I’m just not
