There’s a combination of physics models and statistics. And they’re constantly updated with current measurements. They should get more accurate as the physics are modeled and measurements get more detailed. Of course we fired a lot of the people that do the modeling and shut down a bunch things doing the measurements.

Pretty sure the goal of the mystery meat is to make everyone too afraid to buy beef, and cause the price to drop due to lack of demand.

It’s the same strategy of randomly firing off a gun in a neighborhood you want to buy a house in.

Toddlers can cover the distance from the sidewalk to under a car tire faster than you can blink. Ill never judge a parent for having them on a leash.

The muzzle is a bit much though.

I should add that given the details it’s not entrapment. At the same time though, there are thousands of flock cameras, and somehow the cops knew this particular spot for a fake one would lure someone in? There’s no telling if they instigated it in some way not mentioned. And the charges they filed are very likely to fall apart anyway, because it wasn’t a flock camera, it was a cheap decoy, and felonies are based on actual value, not imaginary. It also may not have been authorized to be installed. So the defendant could legally have been removing vandalism from a pole.

This is why you can’t really adjudicate from a news story, there’s a million unknowns, and often weird technical details to laws that aren’t well known to the public. Top that off with most news information coming from defense lawyers giving an intentionally biased account of events, because the police don’t just call the press most of the time. And when they do, it’s usually to give their own damning version of events.

Legally no, it’s not entrapment. Still if the cops hadn’t placed the bait, there would be no crime. They know where the line is, and ride it.

Entrapment sounds like typical Florida pig style.

Isn’t this the same state that had a naked knife wielding guy get in a fight with a naked knife wielding guy?

Nope wait, that was Seattle, my bad whole different state.

Grab a large enough group of people in any demographic, and some of them will be assholes.

Supposedly kids are calling sniped in a game getting Kirked. Might be a BS meme though

Never had my neighborhood on a cop show, but I have lived near multiple school shootings. Does that count?

The US produces 200GWh of batteries per year total, and is projected to reach 4-500 in the near future with new construction coming on line, and large portions of that ear marked for grid scale storage. So it’s probably a couple decades to accomplish the whole project, maybe less if we really push.

Not often enough, military bases are STD playgrounds.

If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it’s probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.
