In the heat of the moment (police suddenly getting a dispatch for a murder / hostage situation at a local residence) I hardly believe anyone involved is going to have the time to thumb through notes like that. Maybe in a really small r

That would definitely be more ideal than a simple phone call but I still can't imagine a police officer / police department finding it anything more than odd which would set off all sorts of red flags.

I've thought similarly about people who are feeling the threat of being swatted informing local authorities of the possibility but that presents another problem. The police aren't going to 100% trust people calling in to say, &quo

Maybe that's why they remain shy and stay at a distance we can only capture them in low resolution and/or grainy videos?

Exactly what I was thinking but I didn't want to drag in an outside subject without.

As a general rule for life I've always made sure to keep anything romantic out of my work life. If there was someone important enough to me that I worked with who I wanted to approach in that sense I'd wait until one of us moved o

I'd think so long as the government got their tax portion of the money paid to Walmart / Corrective Education Co. and Turning Point Justice by offenders that they wouldn't care?

But at the end of the day who is wrong in a situation where a car signals to turn into the bike lane ahead of a biker (with plenty of room, it's safe) and then signals again to turn right at an intersection if the bike decides to go ar

You make a great point with your bar / park comparison. When I was younger I yearned for the wildest, loudest, most packed bars and places to party and drink but now that I'm older I prefer a quieter pub with enough seats for ever

The only part that really threw me off was the graphics on the race car hauling truck. Other than that it just looked like an over stylized picture with some sort of filter on it.

Allowing the police to have total control and oversight was, to me, the point where I knew the police body camera idea wasn't going to fix everything right away. It feels like mostly lip service but it has shown some good splotches her

They are already the two most likely candidates involved who would want to sweep things under the rug. Bringing attention to those type of situations going on in the workplace, hell even less severe stuff like basic crime, is not what schoo

Sony has never really handled their online game service stuff well. This sounds incredibly bogus.

I think it means that even if you don't have Adblock Software installed and you are the type to ignore all ads anyway those ads are technically succeeding. I'd imagine the thinking is that subconsciously you can't completely

I'm assuming a lot here but there is always the chance that your door-to-door post man or woman went to deliver any generic piece of mail to your old address only to find out you no longer lived there. I'm fairly sure there is a m

Definitely agree. I saw virtually no comparison to what the US does / would do nor how America handles similar cases, etc. America was mentioned zero times in the article (0) and United States was mentioned twice in the article (2) and

Agreed. Back when the news of the payoff first became public things were a lot murkier in terms of the broad picture but now that we've had the lid peeled back and we can see a bit more. It seems a bit more obvious, to me at least, tha

You bringing up VB6 made me smile. Anything VB makes me nostalgic as well. During Thanksgiving I talked to my Uncle who gave my family our first computer and also asked him if he remembered giving me his old copy of VB 3.0 to install. We co

While I tend to fully agree with everything you are saying wouldn't it be a nice side effect if Bitcoin / crytocurrency dominance forced the average computer user to get serious about password creation and management?

Right. I think learning this way forces yourself to solve the problem by teaching the discipline to yourself. It's always said that you don't truly understand something until you are able to teach it to another so in that sense yo

Wow, thank you! The art is pretty good overall and the story seems well done enough. There are 39 chapters according to where I found it to read online but MyAnimeList (MAL) says 24 chapters from 3 volumes. More info on MAL here: https:&#x

Wikipedia came to mind when this topic of 100% accuracy came up, a metric people seriously think Google needs to hit in order to not cause mass hysteria, it seems. Wikipedia is constantly updated because the information is curated by humans

Do you think you were standing in the shower incredible tensed up to combat the inevitable cold? I feel like just reading about a cold shower gets me in that mode.
