Two wrongs don't make a right, but if a wrong today prevents millions of wrongs tomorrow, I think that's a little different. The directive of that man was for the insurance company he led to deny lifesaving care to people which is effectively a death sentence to them. This isn't one life versus another, it's one life versus a fucking swath of others.

Executing a man in the street is evil, but let's not pretend that it's more evil than the white collar mass murder that he was ordering.

Not hating, happy to be educated! I'm not prideful enough to be upset by you taking the time :)

A few questions since you seem to know much more about this than I can probably even find from searching:

• What is "IoT"? What is "LTSC"?
• Other than update support, how is this different from my existing home laptop's Windows 10?
• Is this free? Will there be obnoxious limitations or reminders to pay to activate?
• Why should I as a medium skill home computer user without work needs opt for this over Mint, Ubuntu, Nobara, Arch, or whatever other distro somebody would insist I use? I don't need Office.

Edit: most of the following comment regarding suppressors was apparently super wrong. Leaving my ignorance up so the resulting corrections in the reply make sense. Just don't stop reading after my bullshit comment lol.

In a normal, unsuppressed semiautomatic pistol gunshot, you pull the trigger, a precise little pin strikes the back-center of a bullet, this causes the gunpowder in the back of the bullet to spark and ignite and explode. The projectile portion of the bullet rides the wave of the explosion at supersonic speed down the barrel of the gun, which determines the direction of the path. There is an initial increase of backpressure of gas between the projectile and the back of the barrel, but semiautomatic weapons make use of this to push back the slide, expelling the spent casing and that gas and allowing the spring in the magazine to push the next round into place for the next shot, also significantly reducing recoil in the process.

Suppressors (or "silencers") work by slowing the bullet down and altering the propulsion gas path. Subsonic speeds means no sonic boom. The downside is that you must manually cycle each round yourself, and you will likely experience more recoil per shot.

Afaik, suppressors are pretty damn hard to legally obtain, so my knowledge of them is a combination of my firsthand accounts with my unsuppressed guns, secondhand accounts of suppressors, a moderate understanding of physics, and some guesswork. I could be wrong about some of this, but this is my general understanding that I carry around with me.

Just choosing to phrase it with an air of plausible deniability paired with a pun related to the industry.

So deny their preventable death?
