From a purely academic/scientific perspective, is there a reason why they do not administer some form of benzodiazepine to gently sedate the prisoner before conducting the execution protocol? I'm not a medical professional, but I do have prescription benzo and it works miraculously in calming me down and lets me drift off to an incredibly deep sleep.

I keep revisiting Vivaldi once every few months, and get reminded of why I uninstall it within minutes. They remove the option of changing DNS servers from the configuration UI and moved it into flags. I have absolutely no idea why they do that, and its a philosophy I vehemently disagree with.

A man after my own heart.

I had a whole bunch of machines and I just realised I haven’t booted Windows on any of them for a couple of weeks. I daily drive Tumbleweed when I don’t need any advanced Adobe features or play games that run on Windows only.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I will ditch Windows completely, but it is nice to have options.

I’m in complete agreement. I read this headline over breakfast (my time zone) and I was mindful of how outraged I felt. I had to consciously pull back on my breathing and regulate my heart rate.

I don’t think this is a healthy state of affairs.

I yearn for the day that these neanderthals are no longer newsworthy, but I suspect it will never come in my lifetime.

I've never bought options before, but I'm in for 10grand and shorting the shit out of this.

I was told they were peaceful protesters and are now hostages. Either that or they were crisis actors planted by the radical left.

I can't figure out which is which now.

The Chinese even have an idiom for this exact phenomenon, the saying goes, "富不过三代". Translated literally, it says wealth does not persist beyond three generations.

I was told this could be all fixed by pulling up your bootstraps and a firm handshake.
