He got 6 years for shooting a person 6 times to death in their own home.... In a state with the death penalty. While having a witness that heard them ask the person to leave.

This person got given the best case scenario it sounds like, and is asking for better. If possible they should retry it as first degree murder and the death penalty, the perpetrator would likely settle for 15 years very quickly

They brought a gun to someone elses house, got in a argument pulled a gun shot them at their own house 6 times and lied in court about how it happened.

"According to testimony, Ward went to Lee’s home, where a verbal altercation occurred. The victim, Paris Lee, asked Ward to leave. During the confrontation, Ward claimed that Lee pointed a gun at him while they were at the top of a staircase, causing him to fall backward. He told police that he then drew his own weapon and fired upward from the bottom of the stairs, striking Lee.

However, physical evidence and expert testimony from Medical Examiner Dr. D. Van Pelt contradicted Ward’s version of events. Lee was shot six times, and the trajectories of the gunshot wounds did not align with the defendant’s statement. Additionally, Ward had no visible injuries, undermining his claim of self-defense.

The prosecution presented a key witness, Tarik Hunter, Lee’s best friend, who testified about a phone call with Lee during the incident. Hunter told the jury he could hear Ward yelling in the background and that Lee repeatedly asked him to leave."

I've given blood maybe a dozen times, plasma 3 or four. Last time I went to give blood they pricked my finger and I went so pale they wouldn't go through with it. My diet wasn't any different that I knew of but I immediately was like well hell.. maybe I can't do this anymore. I'll try again in the future I'm sure, but I just figured it meant I was getting older.

Person brought a gun outside of their property. Premeditated murder. Done. I've owned guns for 19 years. If I bring a gun off my property it was premeditated. If I shoot someone it was intentional.

Whether or not I was passionate about pulling the trigger or not, it was thought about ahead of time and deliberate.

Anyone who has shot guns should know it isn't a hiccup to pull out a gun, ensure it is cocked, safety off, aim and hit a target... Let alone 6 times. This person deliberately and intentionally used a deadly weapon to assault someone.

It's always the side eye that hits harder

The number of Christian sects in the U.S. isn't 1, isn't 5, isn't 10, isn't 20. It's more than 200. It's very clear that Christians don't and have never agreed with each other so it is absolutely rediculous for any Christian to think "what we believe" means all Christians. Hell there are so many people that call themselves non-denominational simply because they don't want to claim parts of the Bible hated by others.

If we tally it up according to Christians all Christians will go to hell, which they made up.

Wonder if he'll be dumb enough to fight Apple as well who calls it AI, using the name Apple Intelligence since iOS 18. It got a lot more Integrated with their latest OS's but I don't see them throwing away the name Apple Intelligence so quickly after putting the name in over a billion devices.

This seemed to elude to the demand for leather slowing and the supply staying the same. We export way more than import. There is a PDF linked in there that shows where their information stems from. I will say I didnt read all of the PDF not sure if I got tired or bored reading it, haha. https://usleather.org/news-events/if-we-stopped-using-leather-would-fewer-cattle-be-reared

A wiser person than I, I would have tried to discuss it and convince them they couldn't possibly be. All the while thinking I'm putting myself down and saying reasons I'm flawed and them somehow taking it as me being kind and vulnerable. Relatonshps are probably better that way. Where I take the I out of them /s

I have no way to confirm accuracy but this made me wonder how much cow hide is thrown away and not made into leather. About 15% apparently ends up not being worth the shipping and such so it ends up in landfills. Millions of cows having wasted parts, all because every American doesn't have a proper leather kink... Sheesh

Biden put an executive order for $15/hr 3 months into office. That doesn't do anything for us because we don't work for the executive branch, that has to be done by congress.

So that means there were corporate Democrats in Congress that didn't support raising minimum wage to 15 by 2025 as proposed.

Some people do. Also long term constant propaganda machines wear people down. It isn't hard to find people who pointed out Vietnam was bad but then supported Iraq or such. The number of people who supported the idea of setting up a universal healthcare system when voting for Obamas campaign, then also voted for Trump in 2024 is non zero.

Thankfully it isn't everyone, otherwise I think our suicide rates would grow even larger with people realizing they don't want to live in a world where they don't give a fuck about anyone but theirself.

Exsiccated/Exsiccation - was trying to think of a single English term that could be the equivalent of starvation; like if someone was dying of thirst, but I felt parched isn't weighted enough to fulfill the gravity of it.

In latin exsiccare meant to dry up completely, so that's how we got here I guess.

Thoughts? Is there a term I have forgotten that fits what I was looking for?

Thought process: Elizabeth II became queen in 1952, the first bond book Ian Flemming made released 1953. Bonds whole story normally until they try to actualize things is that he is already married to queen and country, so he no matter what chooses her over all. The last movie released before she died. Instead of "shaking things up" by picking a younger Bond, I think it would be better if they just end it on a Bond many didn't like, a retiree. (Many did like him as well..). But I feel it would be a fitting ending.

If anything just bring a new 00 agent, one that's fit for a new era

Basically the title, if I click a comment to collapse sub-comments, when you re-expand all content is gone. Has anyone else seen this? Running android version 14 - moto g play 2024.

Anyone else seeing similar?

My brother isn't a fool, but I am curious how many children especially in the Florida area will have to grow up being taught that it's the Guld of America while their own parents think why? while most of the world and country looks at them like really?

So to not be a complete ass and prepare for the future, what do you guys think would be adviseable to both address such in person, teach your kids to address in person, and address it in a manner so a child is treating like discussionn, not a "clash" per say .

I have to acknowledge there may very well be a time when my niece/nephew were told by their teacher in school, there is no Gulf of Mexico

Aloha, I'm being dumb. I tried to move away from using PIA- private Internet access do to some suggestions. I bit the bullet and finally switched VPNs after ~5 years or so.

I know others may say it's dumb but I was going to try Proton VPN. On my phone, no issues. If I run the installers in Mint though, I can't seem to get it to install. Tried the Debian install, tried the Ubuntu install, but no luck. Specifically the command sudo apt install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop Will always return an unable to locate package, even while running from the same directory I run the wget commands and such from.

Is there something that you have seen that works well with this? I need to set that machine back up for a split tunnel for a couple specific apps and not others.

I was trying to throw together some quick items to have something for dinner later. Some penne was left, some rotini was left, had some hot sausage I meant to use for a pizza the other day, but the spouse didn't want sausage that day, whatever, make a quick dish.

Cook the bottom of the box penne and rotini, throw the sausage in a pan, season/brown in, throw it into the pot of drained pasta.

Take the sausage juice/fat and add flour to it to start a roux. Everything seems good, poor in the last of the milk.. wait, was that thick. Crap it smells off, check the jug, best by January 7th. Son of a b, can't get that sausage fat back to start over, and the milk is gone. Looking for liquids because I don't have any broth or such in the pantry. Ugh

Old cameras but they have been sitting.

What can I use to record and ensure the data is saved locally. Nothing serious, just chickens being accused of hurting plants when they are monitored. I just want to catch whatever it is (deer? Etc?) eating it so I can have evidence it isn't them

I made a comment earlier mentioning Limbitless and I am curious what it's reach really is, have people heard of it, has it helped a number of people, or few?

It was a non-profit starter in ties with the University of Central Florida to provide prosthetics to those whom could not afford it.

Edit: I just added a URL for reference in the body

Quick math is the one thing computers were always good at, not anymore apparently.
