  1. I had that problem after upgrading from Windows 7. It would drop out as much as 3-4 times per day, still connected to the WiFi but no internet. Disabling and re-enabling the adapter fixed it every time but was a pain in the ass. I got a USB WiFi adapter and still had the same problem. I tried a number of solutions I found online but none of them worked.

    alright can someone please spell it out to me-  what should have been presented but wasn't and what was presented instead?

    The AG led the public to believe the grand jury rejected homicide charges against the officers on the basis of self defense. Turns out the grand jury was not actually given an opportunity to consider homicide charges and the only charges they were actually empowered to indict on was the charge against the officer who shot through the neighbor's wall. So rather than the grand jury rejected charges against the officers, as the public was told, the grand jury actually indicted on 100% of the charges that were presented to them.

    Can you elaborate on the bold?  Is there no separate self-defense in Ky?  Arguably, the murder statute itself encompasses both "sudden passion" and self-defense.

    When the defendant is justified under KRS 503.050 to 503.110 in using force upon or toward the person of another, but he wantonly or recklessly injures or creates a risk of injury to innocent persons, the justification afforded by those sections is unavailable in a prosecution for an offense involving wantonness or recklessness toward innocent persons.

    Ky. Rev. Stat. § 503.120

    The officers who shot Taylor would not be permitted to argue self defense against a wanton murder charge or a reckless homicide charge.

    Texas has a similar statute.

  4. This is ok in theory, but what would you suggest to replace something that's grown up over almost a century of shared experience?  Singing The Eyes together at the end of a game, win or lose, with  or without the band present, has grown up organically over that long span.  Getting rid of The Eyes pretty much just eliminates this moment altogether, because anything new and forced can't help but feel hollow by comparison.  Traditions can't be contrived.  

    But it apparently was contrived since it turns out that athletes sticking around to sing with the fans has been compulsory.

    I'm voting against anything related to light rails or tunnels right now.  The city needs to get their shit together and put together a bond solely dedicated to revamping online capabilities for AISD.  Binding this together with other shit removes all ability to ensure the $ is getting spent in the right places.

    The city doesn't fund or operate AISD.

    I honestly wouldn't care if it was a totally valid warrant, they were on camera announcing themselves, and the suspect emptied his clip...shooting their weapons haphazardly and hitting an unarmed occupant is still murder. They don't get the luxury of treating everyone they see on a raid as expendable.

    Differentiating between hostiles and civilians is literally 90% of their weapons training.

    This has been inexplicably completely lost in this discussion. Even assuming for the sake of argument that the officers would have been justified in killing Walker in self defense, firing blindly into the dark and killing an innocent bystander is still homicide. You aren't entitled to assert self defense against charges or recklessly killing an innocent bystander.

    that doesn't mean anything, does it?  won't the loeffler + collins vote just swamp warnock in the run off?  what am i missing here that make people think that is interesting?

    Runoffs are like specials in that they're all about turnout so I think the hope is for a reverse 2010 Scott Brown situation.

    It's crazy that cops can carry firearms in places where you can't.  It's almost like they have different job requirements from you. 

     

    It's like, I wouldn't expect men to wear skirts.  But I would expect you to.

    What's wrong with wearing a skirt? You don't like a little breeze on your balls?

  9. The Arbor was great but the world really needed another Cheesecake Factory. 
    At this point is there anything left on the docket besides Dune that hasn't pushed to 2021 yet? 

    That was just a regular (but yes, great for the time) movie theater that was killed by Gateway opening nearby.

    The Arbor people are talking about that shows great indie movies is across the street in the space that was formally the Great Hills 8.

    Lulz at production showing the triple eviction graphic behind Julie before they actually told the guests.

    And it seems like Julie somehow didn't realize it even though at least two of them mentioned it. She seemed somehow shocked that they already knew it was a triple evection when she did the reveal.
