    Not the OP, but I appreciate your ethical explanation.

    I agree partially with you. I don’t have a moral issue with the killing of individuals who have engaged in particularly heinous acts: murder, rape, torture, extreme child and spousal abuse, white collar negligence/willfully allowing death to occur through inaction for pay, etc.

    I just don’t trust the US or the states to ethically carry out executions, especially given their track record of executing innocent or low IQ individuals. So I’m anti death penalty. Life is cheaper than execution anyhow.

    That being said, I don’t have a problem with certain kinds of vigilante justice or vengeance either. Especially vengeance for a loved one. FWIW, I’m not seeking vengeance, but I absolutely get it. Jury nullficaton should always be a right.

    Anyhow, the news isn’t in, but I’m rooting for an ethical vengeance situation. He killed a fucking vampire, I hope he’s a hero with respectable views. Even more, I hope they never catch him. Either way the fucker is dead, and good riddance. I hope the other CEOs squirm, they need to either get right or go to prison.

    We should be having this discussion in News.

    Grew up in North Alabama. There were June bugs that were more golden when I was a kid. Some of them looked like they were made of gold, and weren’t green like they are now. We’d tie a string around a leg and fly them like little dive bombers. Which is pretty terrible, but didn’t know any better.

    Pick up an electron and show it to me. That shits imaginary. Also, EEs make the worst mechanical engineers because they have no concept of manufacturability.

    MEs? They don’t know shit either. Just cause you can draw it doesn’t mean it’s possible. Also, GD&T, learn what a reasonable tolerance is or it’s going to cost 10x what it should.

    Engineers need to get off my lawn.

    Sound engineers seem to be okay. They seem to smoke a lot of weed.

    I’m not familiar with Owl House.

    Lilith, obviously the solid black one, is dumb as a box of rocks. She can be a real pest about wanting attention and will slobber on you and lick you.

    Lulu is a deadly mouser and very smart. She is feral in her mannerisms. Does love to be petted but wants to have an escape route. Won’t get in your lap.

    Fighting got a lot better when we moved to a bigger place. Now you actually see them side by side like this occasionally. Obviously, “get a bigger house” is not really an answer, but making sure they each have their own space might help.

    Just like there is no hate like Christian love, there is no hate like cat hate. IDK, many cats seem to prefer a certain amount of hate and conflict.
