It was deemed too dangerous by the powers that be, so it was banned from app stores, the extension was banned by Firefox and Chrome, etc.


Posting and deleting the same comments dozens of times is seriously abusive and I've banned the account. Please stop now.


I kind of like that honestly. No doubt you need some documentation so everyone knows what the service abbreviations are, but after you've been working there for a month you get it. Makes everything clean, consistent, and informational. You can quickly ascertain what a specific host is doing just from the name.


Oh absolutely it makes sense to have a standard, and being able to tell at a glance if something is a VM or physical machine is of value also. But dedicating 2/3s of the character budget to such a scheme is madness. If the prod-vm- prefix simply become pv-, then you'd at least be able to do pv-jenkins-01 again.

Anyway, all this was fine when we were on LDAP rather than Active Directory. So basically it's all Windows' fault.


Anyone else totally fine with spaces in filenames? I use to rip a lot of CDs back in the day, and never had an issue with the spaces in the file names.

01 - Metallica - Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls.mp3

Names like that were common, and had many spaces.


He was not an active shooter, he was a victim fleeing, so, no.


He had just shot two people, was still armed, and proceeded to shoot a third shortly after.

That fits every definition of “active shooter” I’ve ever seen.


Again, those two people attacked him.


>He had just shot two people

He had just defended himself against two assailants.

>was still armed

But not threatening or brandishing.

>and proceeded to shoot a third shortly after.

And proceeded to defend himself against a third assailant.

>That fits every definition of “active shooter” I’ve ever seen.

Fits practically no definition of "active shooter".


The definition of "active shooter" is "there's someone running around shooting people". Self-defense comes into play at charging time and in the courtroom, as it is now.

The cops role during the shooting incident is to stop the shooting and detain whoever's doing it. Until they do, it's an active shooter incident.


>The definition of "active shooter" is "there's someone running around shooting people".

No it's not: The United States Department of Homeland Security defines an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims."[0]

Even if it was, I'm glad that definition excludes the events that transpired when Rittenhouse was attacked.

>Self-defense comes into play at charging time and in the courtroom, as it is now.

Self-defense came into play when he defended himself against assailants.

>The cops role during the shooting incident is to stop the shooting and detain whoever's doing it.

Non sequitur.

>Until they do, it's an active shooter incident.

That is not what an active shooter scenario is.

>Most homes have a basement or a crawl space.

Not sure if this is true or not in total, but in the Southern US, the vast majority of houses have neither.


Places with damp ground need a crawl space.

Attics are another place to put it.


https://www.basementguides.com/why-are-there-no-basements-in...

Since 2000 most homes have been slab construction 60/40 by 2013 78/32.

It is cheaper and quicker to build slab and the way the housing market works means that developers choose what to build.


Your cite is about basements, not crawl spaces.

In Arizona, everything was slab-on-grade because the ground was very, very dry. That's not so in most other areas.

The crawl space keeps the wood off the ground where it wicks up moisture and quickly rots. Cement wicks up moisture, too. Try a slab in Seattle, for instance, and your house will soon be uninhabitable from mildew.


Here you go, same info for crawl spaces as well.

> 30 percent of new single-family homes started in 2013 have a full or partial basement, 54 percent are built on slabs, and 15 percent have a crawl space.

https://eyeonhousing.org/2014/10/what-foundations-are-built-...

I think you are looking at a small subset of data.


So it's still half the homes. How many millions of homes is that?


>Meechan was arrested

Technically if you're arrested you're thrown in jail (overnight or for a few days).
