But they did disarm him by taking the gun from his holster, which is extra damning because he was definitely not armed when they killed him, and also if the gun was in his holster the entire time there was no reason to suspect he was a danger.

In fact, this is what I said:
I'm not advocating for warrantless invasions of private space, and I certainly agree that many, possibly most, of the people being snatched by ICE do not fit the category of people who have been already given a final order of removal.
I think you are judging me to be some form of Trump apologist, but how many of those are there here?

I think you're conflating two groups of people. I'm speaking specifically about people who have, prior to arrest, been given a "final order of removal". Are these people not at the end of their legal process to try to stay in the country?

However, if someone has been ordered to leave, I'm at a loss as to why we wouldn't want to effect that removal immediately, by issuing such a judicial warrant. Are there remaining appeals even though they have been given a "final order" or are they just ignoring the law?

I’m all for due process, but these people are just using procedural tactics to evade capture. A final order of removal should be just that.
What is stopping the judicial warrants from being readily available? Lack of judges? Something else?

- who is legally and financially responsible for these children?
- this doesn’t address cases where the fetus has severe abnormalities — do we want to force the birth of a child with fragile X, angelman, rett syndrome, or other non terminal but horrific conditions?
- what about cases of rape? There’s something severely traumatic about having your rapist’s child exist at all
- and last but not least, I don’t think this even addresses the underlying bodily autonomy issue. This still demands that a woman undergo a specific medical procedure. Even if it’s safe, you already mentioned vaccines which are not just safe but near universally beneficial — choice is choice, I’m loathe to compromise in the slightest.

unkz Link ParentThis is an area where I conflict with the “moderates” a lot. I don’t like this kind of rhetoric where we carve out “acceptable” abortions. Abortions should be at the sole discretion of the mother,...Abortion is evil and must be completely outlawed - no room to think about situations where the fetus is not viable and it is killing the mother, etc.
This is an area where I conflict with the “moderates” a lot. I don’t like this kind of rhetoric where we carve out “acceptable” abortions.
Abortions should be at the sole discretion of the mother, period. Not because her life is in danger, or because the fetus is non-viable, but because she doesn’t want to do that with her body right now.
This should be an inviolable rule for all people that they have absolute dominion over their bodily integrity, and we shouldn’t be horse trading those rights away.

Some of the guys there are actively competing at the college level, while I’m approaching 50 — I’m unsure whether I’m going to be able to adapt and keep up or if this is just a terrible plan and a fast track to injury.

Comment on Canada agrees to cut tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products in ~transport

Canada is planning to reserve preferential access to its domestic auto market for foreign automakers who build vehicles in this country under a new auto policy to be released in February, a senior Canadian official said Saturday.
The official also said Canada gave advance notice to the United States of its Jan. 16 decision to part with Washington and slash tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles that were imposed in tandem with the Americans in 2024.

When you ask a thinking model a question, it will fan out the question several times in parallel with chain of thought enabled and then assess all the responses to look for disagreements. The interface will pause while the system reflects on its various responses before combining them into a final response.
That instant answer behaviour you mentioned is mostly free tier usage, not the high quality models. The difference here will be getting a direct measure as to the uncertainty from a response rather than an indirect measure based on random sampling.
