Ah yeah that would be cruel as fuck. Are they doing anything different this time or are they going to torture someone else to death?

Man ChatGPT judged Randall hard on that one.

That was a great series. I should reread it soon.

That isnt how it works. The speed of light is the speed of causality; it doesn't have anything to do with light. Its just the fastest speed at which things can happen. Light, being massless, happens to travel at that speed.

In your scenario, the light beam would just be stretched along its length and the 2D interface on the surface of the moon would just "lag behind" from your POV. But it would lag at the speed of light.

ELI5: If I'm moving away from you at 50 KPH and you're moving away from me in the opposite direction at 50 KPH then after 1 hour we will be 100 kilometers away from each other even though the speed limit is 75 and neither of us broke it.

That's an extreme reduction but gets the general idea across.

Yeah. If it only impacted your landlord that would be one thing, but you're potentially ruining the entire municipal plumbing system.

And he has faced consequences for those felony convictions, right?

...Right?

It doesn't matter if he did it or not, honestly. If the state can't be 10000% certain the person they are about to murder is guilty of a heinous crime then it shouldn't be possible to fucking murder them.

This isnt about innocence. This is about the state denying this Black Muslim man due process and constitutional protections.

And on that note, its impossible to prove guilt in these cases, which is why the death penalty needs to be abolished. Are you comfortable with the idea of bring executed for a crime because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time? Because I'm sure fucking not.

Techbro tries to demonstrate that he's not fundementally disconnected from society challenge: impossible

OK well we're talking in generalities here. Most people who have a Truck (myself included) don't need one. And I'd bet that a lot of those who do would be better served by a utility van or something similar.

Trucks aren't even the only vehicle capable of hauling large loads (giggity).

Sure, some people legitimately need a truck. We're not talking about them.

Absolutely zero people need the pedestrian slaughterer 2000, but these kinds of ~~trucks~~ killing machines are more and more common on the road today.

Well you know what they say, if you're at a dinner table full of Nazis...
