Man who threw sandwich at federal agent is found not guilty of assault
A former Justice Department employee who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington has been found not guilty of assault. A viral video of the sandwich tossing made Sean Charles Dunn a symbol of resistance to Trump’s deployment of federal agents to combat crime in the nation’s capital. Dunn's misdemeanor acquittal Thursday is another setback for prosecutors, who have faced a backlash for how they have handled criminal cases resu…

Please — and I can't believe I have to say this — please do not lick your employees.

yeah, so it becomes a test for privilege or fear
privileged kids who have never been food-insecure, whose teachers & coaches & caretakers have always given a shit -- they pass the marshmallow test
or kids who have been draconically punished for disobedience -- they also pass, for very different reasons
but both groups are willing to wait for the additional marshmallows later
the _truly_ scrappy (gritty?) kids might grab the marshmallow and then lobby for the l…

Anyone who shows up in a public place carrying a weapon should have to face a conversation with police. Call 911. That's what they're paid for. Create a paper trail.

For a project to be truly #OpenSource (not to mention #FreeSoftware), it really needs to:
1. Have a *public* issue tracker that enables you to browse and search through issue reports *without* having to create an account.
2. Accept issue reports, with no strings attached. Yes, expecting registration is fine. Yes, expecting some effort to file a good bug report is fine. No, expecting people to ask permission, donate or otherwise put a lot of extra work to report a problem is not.
3. Do not close issue reports as "stale". Yes, it's fine to close a report if you really believe it was fixed, or if you asked for something and the user didn't reply for a long time. It's not fine to run a bot expecting users to jump every month so that the issue report that *you are ignoring* doesn't get closed.
If a project doesn't meet these, it's just a glorified throwaway code.

I haven't been paying attention to UK politics for a while. I see now, once again, they have lost the run of themselves. Farage, who comprehensively fucked the UK, is really in the running to rule it.
We really do need to reunite Ireland, if only to move away from a truly mad neighbour.

New Leak Reveals How Raiders Truly Felt About Brennan Carroll Hiring https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/brennan-carroll-pete-firing-leak/

Okay! I have my cold weather gear sorted. I got clear OTG goggles, and I can remove them with one hand without my glasses going with them. Balaclava I can pull over nose and tuck under goggles. Haven’t fogged up yet. (It’s been really windy this week, but not bitterly cold yet.)
As a bonus my daughter said she’d be absolutely terrified if she saw this coming towards her on the trail at night.

It's not in this article
but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at
"point blank range",
which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality,
and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
