Yeah, that's the internet for you. Anything you want to stay around will vanish someday, and anything you want gone will be here forever.

So I looked it up, and the law appears to be worded like this:

‘‘(1) the defendant does not have—
‘‘(A) more than 4 criminal history points, excluding any criminal history points resulting from a 1-point offense, as determined under the sentencing guidelines;
‘‘(B) a prior 3-point offense, as determined under the sentencing guidelines; and
‘‘(C) a prior 2-point violent offense, as determined under the sentencing guidelines;’’

So let's simplify this into English. Because the header says that "The defendant does not have" and then has subsections, we will append that idea to the start of each subsection.

The defendant doesn't have more than four crime points

and

The defendant doesn't have a 3 point offense

and

The defendant doesn't have a violent 2 point offense.

Simplifying it down like this makes it seem like the way it is written is the more strict way the supreme court decided on. It sounds like the supreme court is correct in this case, but they don't know why they're correct, since their reason is all wrong.

So by putting a stamp on an absentee ballot, therefore paying the postal service to deliver it, am I committing an Alabama felony? Or are interactions with the postal service explicitly exempted from it?

The problem was the last game. It kind of ruined the entire series. I didn't like the artstyle change between games. But it also just felt like it was not as good compared to the previous entries. Also they introduced time travel, time travel is like a story killer. Of course, the story was already dead with other choices they had made.

I felt like a 4th sly cooper game should have been about Sly's child since the themes were already about some multigenerational thief family. Sly's child would have wanted to be a cop just like mom, and then been confused after finding out that his family's criminal roots. It could have been a more adult story, for the now more adult players who were children with the previous games. I dunno.

I don't think I've ever heard of one, and I'm not sure if it'd be profitable. I mean, a lot of elements of theme parks are designed to extract money from parents, and only work because they are there with a child.

How would the adult theme park make money? Expensive entry tickets maybe? We would want to avoid alcohol because we don't want people acting without inhibitions near all this heavy machinery, plus it'd make cleaning more expensive, and might cause more vandalism. I guess you could not allow re-entry once they leave, to force them to eat inside the park. But that's about all I can see happening. You could put a nice sit down dining place inside the park though too, because the audience would be more into that sort of thing.

How about the decor, what kinds of thing even appeal to adults? This one is tough. Maybe a western, or dystopian future theme? That could be cool.

I'm pretty sure in the guy's video that came before that one, he said that he didn't know if other games handled audio in the same way that the Gen 3 Pokemon games did, and that they might not be able to be copied this way.

I'm interested to see if someone can do this again, but with a completely different game, maybe Metroid Fusion or something, idk.

You say that, but in the US, if you don't live in an apartment, your letterbox most likely doesn't lock or anything like that either. They may as well just be tossing the mail onto the floor.

Yeah, I learned about this as a child, since my cat would put her paw into the cat bowl and pull pieces of dry food out to eat on the floor.

I started putting her food on a plate and no more food was pulled to the floor.

The kitten I have now plays too rough and breaks all his whiskers off, so he doesn't mind the bowl. But he'll also get a plate if he mellows out.

It'd be very very bad for schools in the US in rural areas. There's no way they'd be able to afford equivalent services to what Google offers them for basically free, ever again. Many children would lose their assignments to Google Drive and others would be sad from losing what's basically a time capsule of their entire life that was stored in there.

Another loss would be Android, and the Google Play Store. So many phones would basically become waste overnight. It'd be absolutely tragic. At least that's the way I see it.

Most less technically literate folks would lose their ability to use their computers overnight. They'd go to Chrome to make a google search to go to their favorite website, and when they see the page showing that Google cannot be found, they'd just assume their computer is broken. Microsoft would be the 'saviour' in this. I'm sure they'd happily push out an update for Windows that resets your default browser to Microsoft Edge (again) and your default search engine to Bing.

Later down the road, whoever buys the old Google domains would likely be able to spread some sick malware and steal a lot of data from people who didn't prepare properly.

That's just what I can immediately think of. I'm sure there's more, or something worse I forgot about. Haha.

Are you implying that 2 years ago, that was the only lemmy instance. Or was it only that lemmy instance (and maybe others that went down due to being hosted in the same location) that went down?

Yeah, it's pretty much all beans now.

I'm glad to hear about parking. Pocket cars were really lame in my opinion. Traffic accidents sound super sick too! I can't wait for a traffic accident to block the only route out of a location and have a bunch of mad citizens, just like in real life.

I wonder if the accidents will be able to block sidewalks.
