quote:

CHICAGO — Police said an officer and three others, including the gunman, are dead after a shooting at Chicago's Mercy Hospital. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said a doctor and a pharmaceutical assistant were the other victims.

Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman, identified the slain officer as Officer Samuel Jimenez.

Guglielmi said the gunman was killed, but it's unclear if he took his own life or was killed by police. In a later tweet, Guglielmi called it a "domestic-related active shooter."

Like I get the purpose of a conscript military, but at the same time I can't imagine how much of a pain in the rear end it would be to deal with half a company of E3s who REALLY don't want to be there.

The Finnish Defense Force seems to have realized that forcing everyone to serve is bad just because of that, so conscription here is on a practical level selective these days. If you don't want to be there, you don't have to. Dudes wash out with "doesn't have to serve in peacetime"-documents in hand all the time because they can't fit in.

On the other side of that, the FDF has been forced to make serving more palatable in the recent years. Cutting down the average time served to six months helped a lot.

Yeah, 6, 9 or 12 months was the way to go even back when I was in, in 2002. And most people served for 6, with NCO and officer training being the most common 12-month gigs. There were also some tasks where you would do 9 or 12 months and still be a private. I did 9 months back then.

Odd. Norway still does 12 (10) months but it's the same as Finland when it comes to who has to stay. I used to be an army NCO and honestly I think you need at least almost a year to make a decent soldier. 6 months is just the point where they would be coming into their own and do well. I can't imagine starting over on a new batch after 6 months and not every 12.

A lot of training pipelines in the US military are 4-6 months so even 12 months would kind of short.

Isn't Mars' gravity too weak to have an atmosphere that can sustain people/things bigger than bacteria

My understanding is that it's not the low gravity, it's that the core has solidified which means there's almost no magnetic field, compared to earth. This allows the solar wind to strip off the atmosphere because it's not being deflected by a strong magnetic field.

On human civilization scales you could probably beef it back up enough to be habitable-ish for at least millennia (and presumably you could find some other fix in that kind of time period) but it's very much not a "thing to do before we've managed to un-gently caress Earth's climate" kind of thing.

It's been a while since they arrested a actual 'gangsta rapper', not just someone who raps and looks like a gangster.

I have to admit, the indictment makes him sound like more then just some drug dealer. Conspiracy, RICO, weapons possession, armed robbery.

quote:

Court papers allege that Tekashi was no mere figurehead. In April 2018, he allegedly took part in a gunpoint robbery of Nine Trey rivals in Midtown Manhattan, videotaping the heist from a nearby car. According to prosecutors, he even took the stolen backpack to his apartment, where investigators found it—the victim’s ID still inside—during a search earlier this fall. Also recovered was an AR-15 pistol.

Plus there's at least somewhat feasible ideas for how to control our climate change, we just have approximately zero chance of implementing it. Doing poo poo on Mars is not only infeasible, it's also really far away, and there's not even the slightest real ideas how to even GET THERE in the first place on a scale to implement non-existing fantasy technologies.
