Fair enough. However, they should release the footage regardless. Especially since 4 people got shot, 2 of which were bystanders, and that this was over a cheap fare. Cops are pretty untrustworthy.

Oh? Would getting shot in the head protesing in Israel be more productive? I donno about you, but I work my ass off and would love to take some time at the end of the day with a game or movie. Unfortunately, I'm not rich enough to stop a genocide half a world away.

Probably because there was no knife in the footage.

Judge Judy. I like this modification of the phrase.

Personally, I really, really, really wish we had a viable third party candidate. I don't want either of these fucks in office.

Cops are the ones who think skin contact can cause an OD.

In part because traditional farms scale better than aeroponics or hydroponics. In part because farms don't pay for the environmental damage they cause. Because of these two points, there is little incentive to industrialize aeroponics or hydroponics.

What is true right now is that traditional farms use more water, fertilizer, and space, cause more environmental damage, but require less labor. And the labor problem can be mitigated with robotics, if we're willing to invest in that.

I wish they weren't in the US either.

With an adverse event rate of 0.06%. Meaning only 33 per million people required hospitalization.

The device you're thinking of might be a peltier or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). But yes. They're way less efficient than a vapor compression refrigerator, though.
