  1. Yeah, I've never not known of a time when cops didn't abuse overtime in this state, and especially in Boston. I have zero idea why this is only picking up steam right now. I can only guess that police budgets have been getting more scrutiny lately. That chief out of Methuen pulling in $300k+/yr probably wasn't helping.
  2. I often bitch about the language the press uses when it comes to police shootings, but this mangled jumble of words is something else. Let me see if I have this right. Two retired cops saw a fight between a 33yo and an 86yo. While trying to break it up, one of the retired cops pulled out his gun and shot the 33yo in the arm and killed his buddy. The 33yo is now on the hook for negligent homicide and manslaughter for the death of the retired cop that was killed by friendly fire plus assault for his role in the fight with the 86yo. Cool.
  3. Anyone remember that story from earlier this year about surveillance video showing a Member of Oregon's House allowing protestors into the building which leads to a short fight with cops? Looks like the Republican representative literally planned the entire thing. Seems like hec calledit Operation Hall Pass. Oregon Republicans call on GOP state lawmaker to resign after video shows him appearing to tell protesters how to enter closed state Capitol WWW.CNN.COM Republican members of Oregon's House of Representatives have called on an embattled member of their caucus to resign after newly surfaced video showed him appearing to give protesters insights...
  4. Not weird, but shitty. I had a CIO ask me to delete an email the CEO sent it to a bunch of folks...while we were in the middle of a lawsuit...while being publicly traded. I think I was the third he asked.
  5. Synergy works great for just that. The only problem being that it worked over IP. These days if I do need such functionality, and I rarely do, I just use the Logitech Flow. Flow seems to work better than Synergy between Mac and PC, but I don't know if Flow supports iPadOS.
  6. Venus did not hold back when asked how she deals with the press...
  7. Not quite, he asked for directions and then the guy came out with a shotgun pointed in his face. Kid ran away and the guy tried to shoot him in the back, but missed. Michigan man who shot at black teen on front porch found guilty WWW.CBSNEWS.COM The 14-year-old missed the school bus and walked up to the house to ask for directions. The homeowner grabbed his gun Kids get shot through doors all the time, though... A teenager was shot and killed after knocking on the wrong door WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM The homeowner shot the teen in the abdomen. Renisha McBride Killer Gets Minimum of 17 Years in Prison WWW.NBCNEWS.COM A suburban Detroit man was sentenced to a minimum of 17 years in prison for the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old woman on his porch last November.
  8. Thinking about old PS2-era JRPGs, I can't be the only one that likes Shadow Hearts, right? I really liked their battle engine. I think the devs that made them went under, though. They cranked out like three or four of those in a pretty short span of time.
  9. He definitely has his pants on backward. There's no other reason I can imagine where he get those kinds of wrinkles and no fly. Either that or he's wearing women's pants with zipper on the side.
  10. FBI identifies 2 agents killed in Florida while serving warrant in crimes against children case WWW.USATODAY.COM The FBI says two agents were killed and three were wounded while serving a warrant in a child exploitation case in Florida Tuesday. Now the FBI is trying to force USA Today to reveal who had read this story shortly after being published. That's pretty cool. USA TODAY fights FBI subpoena demanding records that would identify readers of Florida shooting story WWW.USATODAY.COM Gannett, USA TODAY's parent company, is fighting the FBI's subpoena, calling it a First Amendment violation.
  11. I'm pretty sure the whole reason they went with Raimi is because they were keeping it light horror.
  12. There are some REALLY great games in that previous bundle. This is one of those games that looks like a passable indie, but it's so, so good. Easily one of the best and most original puzzle games I've played in years.
  13. Does asshole religious bigotry count here? Ohio high school football coaches fired after player says he was forced to eat pork WWW.ESPN.COM Four coaches won't have their contracts renewed and another three are ineligible for future positions after a high school football player in Canton, Ohio, said he was forced to eat pork -- which is against his... Kid skipped a VOLUNTARY workout and was forced to eat a pepperoni pizza if he wanted to keep his place on the team and not run extra drills. Sounds like someone realized this was going to look bad, so they allowed him to remove the pepperoni, but there isn't anything you can do to get the pork grease off a pizza.
  14. I had forgotten all about this until it started going viral again... This feels relevant.
  15. Taito announces mini arcade cabinet with rotating screen and trackball controller WWW.THEVERGE.COM Finally, a proper way to play Cameltry at home. The rotating screen is definitely the best part, but the swapping the joystick out with a trackball is pretty damn great.
  16. My kids are still young enough that pending to be puppies is still a thing. Either way, playing through HZD was much easier when I had a some Cookies and Cream Kisses to distract hungry toddlers.
  17. My favorite move is to steal some of my kids' snacks and then distract them with food anytime they come by asking for a turn to play.
  18. I played Fahrenheit back when it came out and loved the first half...and then you Dragon Ball Z fight the Internet and I swore I'd never touch another one of his games. So far it doesn't seem like I made a bad choice.
  19. On the plus side, once those lakes dry up think of all the free real estate.
  20. I don't know about open military conflict, but if/when desalination becomes cost effective there are going to be a ton very unhappy states looking at all all that California coast.
