Mega Comrade posted:I wonder what a certain Brazilian family think of her giving advice of just 'run away if you feel unsafe' One of the biggest misconceptions about Jean Charles de Menezes is that he, at all, was running away, let alone that he jumped the barricade etc like so many people are sure he did. He was sitting down on the train after walking through the station completely normally, even stopped to pick up a newspaper as he did.

TACD posted:Really? Well gently caress I learnt something today Yup, I'm convinced that at some point in the immediate aftermath, the press must have done some memory implantation specifically about him jumping the barrier because everyone who brings that event up, including myself until recently, seem to remember that he jumped the ticket barrier and ran into the station.

As long as there are two digital devices capable of communicating with each other, IRC will exist. Reassuring in a way.

From what we know, Facebook network engineers just pulled the server-side equivalent of locking your keys in your car.

OwlFancier posted:The death-hearse implies the existence of a life-hearse, which I think is an ambulance. Automotive fun facts: Early motorized hearses were just ambulances painted black. And the first purpose-built motorized hearse was just an ostensibly horse-drawn cart tied to the front end of a bus. The first specifically petrol-driven ambulance, the Palliser Ambulance, only had 3 wheels.

I mean, I can't imagine it'd move particularly quickly, but if the horse wasn't paying attention...

The Question IRL posted:It's the same attitude conservatives have to all criminal justice. They're now officially to the right of Judge Death. "Living is the crime, the punishment is death" at least also implies a lack of discrimination.

Waking up to a negative rona test is a pretty good way to wake up.

Any amount of IV anaesthetic that'd subdue someone through a needle stick quick enough that they didn't notice would also likely just outright kill them. Given how many of us have received injections recently, we're all aware that even a small shot takes a good 10-20 seconds of sitting pretty still to administer.

Even the fact that they weren't immediately forthcoming when questioned about it suggests she's at least in a bad way.

Time zones are fake and that's why we should all just agree China has the right idea by just ignoring them.
