Lol. They don’t have a picture of the actual home, so instead the article includes a picture of the Wawona Hotel in Yosemite… because reasons. And now for a random Yosemite fact:

Though the home's exact location or property size was not disclosed, homes in the area range from $279,000 upwards to $7.9 million. The Wawona Hotel is one of California's original mountain resort hotels, and located 27 miles from Yosemite Valley on Wawona Road

The title is the only mention of the redwoods in the entire article. OP, please don’t post clickbait.

how is gun control going to help the fact that some people out there want to kill as many lives as possible?

By reducing access to a very powerful tool for murder. Here is a comparison of USA and Canadian homicide rates

Are you pointing to a single incident from 5 years ago as evidence that non-gun mass murders are common in Canada? Do you think that when gun control is enacted, all the people that would have committed murder via gun would instead commit as much murder using improvised weapons? If so, can you show any data that bears this out?

Even though other methods of murder can be devised, restricting access to the easiest, fastest method is effective in reducing murder.

From the article:

At the start of the study, 20% of participants reported some level of smell or taste loss. After the third day of treatment, the proportion of participants reporting such symptoms in the ensitrelvir groups started dropping more sharply than did the proportion in the placebo group. At day seven, the percentage of participants with smell or taste loss was 39% lower in the group taking 250-milligram pills than in the placebo group. Three weeks after treatment began, all groups reported similar symptom scores. [emphasis added]

Unless I’m misreading this, they saw some notable reduction in symptoms at 1 week, but the benefit had faded away by the time they hit three weeks. This seems to imply that the drug doesn’t provide any reduction in long-term loss of smell (or at least, such a benefit was not shown in this particular trial).

While I haven’t dug into anti-chest specifics, I’m pretty sure they all function this way. Not that I like it either, but if you don’t want games accessing this information, you’ll probably want to avoid games with anti-cheat.

Eg Denuvo, which is widely used and recognized (recognized as shit that causes lots of issues, too), gets kernel level access, which means it can do anything it wants.

Yeah, I feel like it would create a hell of a lot more chaos than half the world disappearing. And hijinks. And genocide.

I kinda like the idea of randomly distributing how much each person gets shrunk. Each person ends up anywhere from 99.9% to 0.1% of their original size. Think of the added chaos it would create.

Dude pretends he can’t understand the difference between stupid and offensive and trolling. A question can be some, all, or non of these things. His stupid questions aren’t removed because they are stupid. They are removed because they are offensive and trolling… but he knows that. He’s just trolling until he gets banned and creates a new account to continue his “work”.

Ever heard of Sealioning? Look it up. That’s you. Your posts are dripping with pseudo-intellectual “just asking questions” spittle.

Yeah, that’s my first assumption when a college student is coming home after midnight. Especially if something bad happens.

I hear you. I’m trying to be hopeful, but agree there is a good chance the shooter was looking for a reason to shoot.

The article is really light on details - all I see is the guy was trying to enter the wrong house and was dead on the front porch. Hopefully (for lack of a better term), the student was actively entering the house and threatening the shooter. Maybe he was shot in the doorway and collapsed on the porch, or was shot inside the house and retreated to the porch before collapsing.

And, of course, it could be a psycho who just shot at the first perception of a possible threat.

Situation sucks no matter what.
