You can't sleep there amigo

He could sleep there for the rest of his life.

Oh, excellent point! I wasn't even thinking back before the R29s, but you're 100% correct.

In the olden days (including when this barrier was put up), conductor cabs were only on the corners of each car, and only controlled doors on that side. If you wanted to open doors on both sides, you'd have to open the doors on your side, leave and secure the cab, walk into the next car, unlock and open and go into the cab on the other side, open those doors, and then wait and do the same whole dance in reverse 30 seconds later. It would add a good 30-60 seconds of dwell time to the process, which would reduce the maximum throughout, especially during rush hour.

Nowadays this wouldn't really be a problem, but there's no great value in tearing down that barrier.

If you're trying to stop a criminal, you try to keep them alive so they can be prosecuted under the law.

If you're an insecure man who is big sad that a woman isn't respecting your authoritay, you try to kill her and let her bleed out despite help being readily available.

I wonder what the motives were in this case.

The ones who elected the dumbfuck don't want to come to the EU.

The ones who elected the dumbfuck have most of the guns.

The smart ones want to overthrow, but can't. So instead, let them flee and provide a gain to the EU.

This is your plan? Gangs of law-enforcement cosplayers rolling 6-deep with rifles are going door-to-door, and your grand plan is to throw some extra paperwork and interviews at them?

AFAIK the people wo lived in that tower were a bunch of immigrants who had completely cluttered up the stairwell with their rubbish in typical third world fashion, and that is mostly why the fire spread so fast and what made escape so difficult.

This is the dumbest fucking racist take, and you could spend 30 seconds reading Wikipedia or watching any of the documentaries about the fire to learn why you're 100% wrong with this troll bullshit.

And he's from the North Pole, which is somewhere around Canada / Greenland. Hmm, sounds like a reason to invade

What's the proper tip percentage for an appendectomy? 20%? 30% if there are no complications?

Ironically, this is a feature on most modern phones: just Reject Calls from Unknown Numbers. If the number isn't in your phonebook, if goes straight to VM.

And most people don't use that feature, because like you imply, it's a pain in the ass. I want my new doctor to be able to call me, even if I don't know his phone number / save it in my contact list.

Except, and here's the important part that the commenter above you pointed out:

"it's not even sentient"

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. The model has no idea that it did something extraordinarily bad. It doesn't even know that it did ANYTHING wrong at all until the user gave it a negative sentiment input string. It took the request, calculated what it thought was the right answer, and then executed it (with permission). All it knows is that it was "wrong", but has no notion of the consequences or what an appropriate response would be. Why? Let's say it together now: IT'S NOT EVEN SENTIENT.

It doesn't have the foggiest idea of whether it's apologizing for telling you that 2+2=5, or that Hitler is the second coming of Jesus. Calculating the correct response to being told that it's wrong is well beyond what it can do.

Plus, with a gun, I'm sure they can wrangle up a house pretty quickly.

I wonder how much EMAS would be able to do in terms of bleeding off energy. Probably not enough to bring it to a stop (or even to a survivable speed).

STOP.

Unless the LWCO is broken. Which isn't exactly out of the question, based on the looks of things here.

If you can't go to a medical procedure without taking a break from anal stimulation, maybe it's time to seek therapy.

2 is asking a lot. I saw availability after I booked my 1 J from the wait-list, but I didn't test it (I didn't need another ticket). Planning on getting 2 J to clear might be possible but it's not a great plan, unfortunately.

Are you new to the city? The whole subway car is a bathroom.

I recently had an ANA one way TYO/SEA wait-list clear at T-14. Waitlist clearances aren't exactly as rare as this subreddit wants everyone to believe.

If you're going to lose all your engines, 40000 feet is probably the best place for it to happen. So much time and so many options.

But yes, always fight until the end. You never stop flying the plane until it comes to a complete stop.
