Comment on Charlie Kirk shooting: US President Donald Trump says suspect in custody in ~society
Bwerf LinkFrom what I understand he turned himself in, and death sentence on that...sounds like a great argument for the next person to fight to the bitter end instead. I understand that what Trump said...The father "convinced the son," Trump said, and took him to a friend who happened to be a U.S. Marshal, to turn him in.
"I hope he's going to be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty," Trump added.
From what I understand he turned himself in, and death sentence on that...sounds like a great argument for the next person to fight to the bitter end instead.
I understand that what Trump said won't have to happen, he's not the judge, it's just the reasoning that's so... stupid (in the best case).

It works pretty decent already and looks good, but there's still some cleanup to do. Getting it set up has been simple and fun - Godot keeps delivering :).

For me there are many works that were influential, but if I have to pick, I think it'd have to be something by pratchett, and his humanism.

As an example of course, there's more things, like bad framerate or instability that can add up to some threshold as well. Not saying that all can be planned for, but there's definitely a tendency where I work towards "don't fix it until it's a problem that the players will notice".

Kubernetes solves some problems in a very elegant way, but introduces a bunch of new problems and things you need to deal with. And if you don't have a big need of solving the first set of problems, the second, new set is gonna make your life much harder for very little gain. I guess I'm happy I pushed through and learned a bunch of things, but i don't think i would do it again.

I think the (so far) pretty one dimensional characters fits very well with couch coop as it makes for great irl banter and self inserts. I don't think i would enjoy it as a movie. The premise is pretty great though for flashy action scenes.
I'm using openwrt since some years mainly for the vlan support to create a DMZ for my servers as the built in software didn't support that. Other than that there some niceties for the dns lookup and some added stats. But if it wasn't for the servers/DMZ I wouldn't have bothered.
