Absolutely. Even for suicide given a year or two. Unlike healthcare, life insurance pays on the nose. They only have 1 chance to get it right before customers run away.

I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.

Well… get some of that if you wish.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”

~ Asimov

And here we are, nailed to the fucking wall. I’m fine with expanding this “incompetence”.

BRB, whipping up a flag.

Now that you know the movie, search for the bank robbery scene. It may be the best gunfight ever filmed.

No, the difference here is that the cops aren’t embarrassed if they fail to catch a poor person’s killer. The is headline news, the have to catch the guy.

Rain forecasts are mostly spot on for me. Keep in mind, %chance of rain is covering a wide area. If we want better rain forecasts we have to dial in the resolution.

No lie. OP is clearly asking about a factory Windows install.

“LINUX!”

Yeah. We know. That wasn’t the question.

Also, if Windows was ever activated on that machine, it’s good to go forever. Far quicker to reinstall and wipe (as part of the process) than mucking around removing crap.

SOURCE: Done this a 100 times for corporate machines.

I’m not nearly as rabid anti-Windows/pro-Linux as this crowd, but 3-seconds after an old laptop says, “No Windows.”, I’m checking my Linux ISO collection. Done it before, will again.

When I was young, and far more temperamental, shit like this is why I said I could never be a cop. Imagine pulling this idiot over for a routine stop, for obvious reasons. And then getting a face full of insane argument.

“Step out of the car or I’m taking my nightstick, bashing all the windows and headlights, then I will remove you from the car. And have it towed to impound. While you’re in jail.”

I watched SovCit YouTube videos for an evening and the cops and judges were insanely nice to these people. I couldn’t handle it.

A nationwide review of government audits and court records over the last 20 years uncovered at least 50 cases of police illegally selling their weapons online

JFC, what a non-story.

(Google) As of 2024, there are over 1,280,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the United States

So we caught 0.00004% of lowlifes selling illegal guns? Over 20 years?! Save you outrage for something real. “Microscopic Percentage of Police Abuse Their Position to Sell Guns”, is not a story. Plenty enough headlines if you leave off the last phrase in that headline.

That post is lemmy in a nutshell.

Don’t want to work.

Don’t want responsibilities.

Want to feel good about myself, even with no reason to feel good about myself.

“But capitalism and communism and, and, and, I just want free shit and the billionaires are taking it from me!”

Yep. That’s how it really works. Lemmy thinks money equals happy. I was far happier at $45K than at $83K. Depends.

Serious y’all. I’m about 54 and my gorgeous locks are finally thinning a bit. Does this stuff work?! Never thought about or looked into this.

“Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat’s head with her foot and then began to eat the cat. I did observe blood on Allexis’ feet, hands, and fur on her lips,” said an officer’s report.

Once again, the mentally ill remanded to the prison complex.

Leading up to the abortion turnover the Court made loads of “liberal” decisions. I bookmarked them to track. After, yeah, not so much. TBH, I quit tracking so not sure what’s happened since.

No, they would not have jobs at all. With the extra supervision and care required, I seriously doubt these companies are saving money, and in fact are probably paying more than minimum wage at the end of the day.

I’m guessing it’s more of a “put people to work so they can feel productive and good about themselves” rather than “evil capitalist plot”.

OTOH, for all lemmy harps about the minimum wage, almost no one gets paid that.

The percentage of hourly paid workers earning the prevailing federal minimum wage or less edged down from 1.3 percent in 2022 to 1.1 percent in 2023. This remains well below the percentage of 13.4 recorded in 1979, when data were first collected on a regular basis.

So maybe paying them minimum wage wouldn’t make a difference?

Nailed it! Also, didn’t the SEC basically force him to buy it after running his mouth off?
