+1 for DBAN, it's worth having it on a CD or usb drive. You can do as many passes as needed to assuage your worries. If that doesn't do it, then blunt force is straightforward (and the rest of the laptop can still be donated or recycled).

@GasBandit Need that Heresy'd pls

The new Murder By Death (concept?) album, The Other Shore, is out. I should have a physical copy waiting for me home.

Open ear or closed? Do you want an integrated microphone?

Endorsed. I's pretty analogous in terms of every-family-makes-it-some-way in my area, at least. Now, allioli, in the other hand. Don't get me fucking started :mad:

Fair enough, I misread you as talking about jury verdicts in general, I should've reread :)

Note that this is only true for criminal law. In civil law, a judge can override a jury in either direction if warranted (google "JNOV" for more information).

Only one way to find out :unibrow:

It's more like you can charge the person with the one crime you know you can get a conviction on, then bring up all the uncharged/acquitted related (however tenuously) conduct at sentencing to get them effectively convicted for it on a much lower burden of proof. I'd recommend reading the...

Fair point. Timely reminder that uncharged conduct (criminal acts for which prosecutors did not secure conviction at trial) can also be used in sentencing in U.S. federal courts, which (to me) also feels grossly unjust.

Timely reminder that acquitted conduct can be used in sentencing in U.S. federal courts, which (to me) feels grossly unjust. Because of that, Manafort might as well have been found guilty of all 18 as far as the sentencing guidelines (i.e. the actual jail time as opposed to the masturbatory "up...

The Failing New York Times: Company Is Offering ‘Fur-ternity Leave’ for New Pet Owners

FWIW, I have a very mild version of what Bubble mentions (I think I brought it up in one of the early discussions of the issue) when in the U.S. (if memory serves right, 5-10s load time). Happens across devices and locations (but all locations I can recall were Comcast-provided). From...

Those are not the changes I'm referring to, last year was 2017. Looked it up: The way nominations are handled was changed, partially to prevent loud minority groups (such as the puppies) from hijacking categories. Here's an overview of how it all works now, and an explanation of the specific...

I was under the impression that the Sad/Rabid Puppies crap got stopped by a change in the voting rules before last year's.

Printed and framed the top left in poster size for my WfH office a while back, good stuff.

Until Dawn made for fairly amusing LPs. I would recommend watching a no death 100% run, a murder-everyone run, and a compilation of all the deaths and maimings. Definitely not my kind of game though, QTEs are annoying.

CNN: Report details sexual abuse by more than 300 priests in Pennsylvania's Catholic Church The full report is pretty detailed (i.e. a disgusting read).

Yeah, that's unfortunately a SHAFT staple. If you want to see worse, check out Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (a favorite of mine). I forget the name of the group that made the best subtitles since I'm not near that hard drive, but they did a damn good job considering the challenge it was.
