Not the same as any of these, but I always felt Spyro had a beauty to it, even if it is a bright and colourful one.

Charitable reading of his thought process: "huh I wonder if this is the guy I'm here to deal with? I bet it is, I'll go collect him. Oh shit, oh shit he's getting away! I have to stop him from getting away!"
But here's the thing that I don't think gets surfaced enough: let's say this was the guy and let's say he was getting away. If you had captured and arrested him "properly", the penalty wouldn't be death by firing squad. Even if he was charged with resisting arrest he wouldn't be sentenced to death by firing squad. So certainly there's no possible universe where shooting a person is an acceptable tool of arrest. People sometimes debate in situations like this about how dangerous it is for cops, and how they need guns for protection, etc etc. But in situations like this I think it's better to reframe:
The police are supposed to be the first step in a process. Collect bad guys, contain bad guys, then another part of the system judges and sentences. I'm not arguing this is the best way to do this, just that even the people who like police tend to feel this is how the system is meant to work. So definitely we should all be able to agree that handing out harsher sentences at the first stage of the process than the last stage would ever consider should just be impossible to justify. If you can't collect the bad guy without killing them, then I guess they got away. Even if they're guilty. It's better than someone being dead.
I switched from Strava to OpenTracks, which does all of the recording but none of the social parts, and keeps the data all on device as far as I know. This looks cool! But for me I probably wouldn't have enough use of it to set it up, so I'm not going to ask you to support OpenTracks just for me, but I mention this in case it's exciting for you. If other people use OpenTracks and would benefit from this, they can mention that too I guess!
But it looks great!
He was teaching her to count O's, and she was learning the big numbers that day. Luckily her toes were close at hand.

Isn't that hotly debated? Don't come in here presenting your opinions as facts!
Right, but I don't wear shoes in my own home. I'm not asking them to do anything I'm not doing. I'd also like them to not piss in my plants, despite them being a guest.
Ugh, sometimes we'll be in the grocery store, and my wife will look at something that clearly says $7.99 and she'll say "oh it's only seven dollars". Every time. I can't believe how well that works on her. If I didn't like her so much, I don't know if I could handle it...
He was pretty expensive then too. He'd already done the Star Treks.
Okay, so you're saying the reason is because chunks of the evidence already exist in other places, so if they didn't publish the documents "properly", there actually might be another source that can be shown to contradict them? I can accept that.
Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.
In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?
The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.
How about this one?
The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?
Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.
My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?
This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?
Thanks very much for any help you have!
Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.
The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.
I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.
If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.
I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?
