As I said... "any such qualifier".

Exactly how do your scenario holds up?!? you need to compare: them being able to walk over to the knife block and walk back and stab them... the other person snore away. TO: Walking to the front door, calling famiiy/friend/police or something else... WITHOUT THERE BEING EVIDENCE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, for the qualifier to not matter for there to be ANY argument of imminent threat laws being the problem.

For "waking up" to be a problem there have to be a qualifier that makes it impossible too leave instead of killing... Without it, there is no imminent. Any such qualifier, such as imprisonment, would in themselves qualify as imminent threat.

Meaning, we are in the edge case of, the victim being able to obtain a method to kill, but being restrained from leaving.

Arguing the issue by using the killing of someone sleeping to argue the issue, of what can be considered imminent. This got to be ragebait...

Fairly sure, it is a good thing to have someone ask some questions here...

Absolutely. It is part of what makes "Trumps "fix" by fare the dumbest one" as i said.

The other main issue being durability, even if the lining had been laid correctly, it would only have lasted a decade at the maximum as the pool shifts, being placed on top of marshland, semi stabilized with a shitton of wood pilling in 2009. Semi, as it didn't stop the concrete laid at that time to crack within a few years.

They changed the color back in 2009 when the tile set into asphalt was replaced with concrete. This was not done to "support the reflective effect", but expedience and there was complaints how it made the reflection more of a dull grayish undertone.

So yes, the original was, but that was long gone.

A pool lining does solve the water loss issue... but would need to be accompanied with a better filtration system, than the water loss gives. Color is a choice, but one where darker colors require even more filtration.

The issue, that blocked all the attempts is it being a reflection pool. Aka the surface, can't be disturbed. So any filtration needs to be SLOOOOOW, meaning a shitton of drains everywhere.... which is to costly.

To be fair, the reflection pool was broken, aka had issues. It was leaking a lot of water, but not enough to have a natural cycle so is didn't smell. I think every administration at least since the 90s have spend millions to try and solve it.... and/or at least keep it semi stable

However, Trumps "fix" was by far the dumbest one... yet. (Yes, i think he will try again and fail worse)

Old Egypt had wedge and feathers, as these have been found aplenty. Those which functions exactly as seen above, except the wedge is hammered in.

On the other hand the idea of soaking a rod is a controversial claim. Not fully collaborated

If it is an actual spring feeding groundwater to the area causing the problem, then you are absolutely right. However 99% of the time the water is rainwater just seeped into the ground, having a greater pressure on the concrete than the pool, due to the pool not being full.
(These liners are held in place by that pressure)

Now, if you wish to be able to leave your pool empty for long periods you will have to put in a perimeter drainage.

This is a US appeals hearing. The lawyer is arguing "they had a court order, so they are not to blame"... and the judges are pointing the lawyer to argue on the meat of the matter (that the order is void due to having been obtained by perjury). To be sure that if they have ANYTHING here to put forward they do so.

They generally voice this as personal opinions, questions. ect. due to tainted verdict rules. The animated part most likely to make the direction abundantly clear...

Honestly, the argumentation is reminiscent of what was said about sampling back in the 80s, i really don't like that. As it would mean that someone that goes though the process of trial and error promting the AI model to get the image they imagined is perfectly fine.

The issue with generating stuff with AI is the energy consumption and sampling other peoples work without permission. On top of which the issues of how it is being used to fool people.

"testing and reiterating and working until they make something interesting" Funny enough, this is how prompting AI works. And in the beginning "steal and merge a bunch of stuff" is how sampling was described.

Basically, if the legal stuff gets sorted out, you can expect AI-prompting take the same path to acceptance... Whether we like it or not.

You are indeed the the author of those snarky disjointed comments.

I think the closest analog is someone making music purely from sampling (DJs mix's etc). Just like AI-prompters they make something different, by using other peoples work.

The reason we accept sampling today (no always) is because of permission rules and leaning what it takes to do.

Thank you, don't know why i keep mixing those 2 up.

Even bitcoin is sufficiently private to ensure there is no proof of who is sending money to Iran. The trade can be seen in the blockchain but without knowing the owners of the accounts it is only known something sent money, and i would be surprised if they where not making the trade using one that is less public like Monero.

For the old ways they involve Russia as a middleman taking a cut... which don't solve the sanctions issue, currently.

I don't understand how this hinders Iran and private companies from using this avenue for trading?

For us normis absolutely.... However, what secure currency could buying passage be done in other than crypto? Trade between India and Iran was done in the US dollar, now the yen, but those trades are not hidden from the US.

So for a company to pay the toll, without sparking a political incident with the US double blockade, crypto is the option... aside from sending a guy to Tehran with a suitcase full of cash.

I have read enough of the testaments to believe that these are the chosen people of "god". That right there is some old testament shit.

This is also why, don't believe in god. However, I do fear god, as i fear those that believe in god with anything that resemble zealotry.

This is not a criminalization but a limit on qualified immunity. Basically, wear a mask and you don't have qualified immunity. So given presidence from the 3 states that have limits qualified immunity, this also affects federal officers.

However, you are right, your congress needs to start being a relevant branch of government again. The world would appreciate that...

My reaction as a Dane, was "oh fuck off, why us", then i did a heavy sigh and went "for the good of humankind... i guess".

Basically we don't want to but we are cursed with "Samfundssind", which translate to something like social/community mindedness... Given time, we will curse your children and by proximity you.
