The special provisions that exist or have been proposed are for first responders because they breathed in dust and were exposed to various health hazards during the response.

What above and beyond taking care of do people who weren’t exposed to any of that in the backend need?

In your own question you are identifying something that isn’t a first responder. First responders arrive on scene. By being on scene the first responders were exposed to health hazards. Those hazards are what existing or proposed programs deal with.

Can you link it? I’d really like to shut some people up, especially when they post the video of Trump grabbing for his ear as the bullet passes before he gets tackled. A video that counters that would be good stuff.

The first one has slightly different foreign languages dubbed. It is also listed as a Sony manufactured box set, I really don’t know the rights history there, but that’s what the product page says.

The second one is listed as a Disney made box. It contains one disc with everything on it.

The third product looks the same as the second but containing three discs instead of one.

Questions like this are why I don’t like “drone” as a catchall description. Drones are everything from single use first person view suicide devices, to off the shelf quad copters for recon, to essentially unmanned aircraft, to essentially just more controllable long range missiles.

Ukraine has adopted Vykhors as the “standard” for their first person view suicide drones. These are often seen in footage with PG warheads attached and modified so the drone can fly straight at an armored target.

Ukraine has also been using Bayraktar TB2, which are essentially unmanned aircraft which fire air to ground munitions and then return to base.

The Russians use for example the Orlan-10 for recon. They are recovered after using a parachute to help land in one piece.

Russia purchased from Iran, and now makes its own version of the Shahed 136, a long range drone (about 1500 mile range) that is essentially just a highly controllable missile. The payload is built into the drone.

These are just a few examples and not an exhaustive list. The examples should illustrate the wide range of sizes, costs, and uses of drones though.

Sometimes I get to go to nice places.

All I’ve got is the tablet and the phone for work. Gosh either I’m an executive or not all workplaces and job types are alike.

I think I watched the sequel at some movie night ages age but honestly don’t remember. I remember the original and like it for what it is. You’ve got to be on the right wavelength going into a Troma movie. It’s gross, crude, offensive, and pretty stupid. It has this unhinged manic energy that carries it though. It is like the movie version of outsider art.

I’m not feeling it. I could write up a lot more, but I’ll summarize that the original is a piece of art from adversity created by and starring a bunch of mostly unknowns on a pretty shoestring budget. This is not that.

Season 2 felt both like the parts I cared about were spinning their wheels, and simultaneously like the show started vastly overbuilding its world rather than sticking to the core concept.

If three people all have different terminal medical conditions, which are currently making their state of life excruciating, and will kill them shortly, and there is one healthy person who can be killed and their organs repurposed to restore quality of life and stop the medical condition to all of those people then utilitarianism says it is moral to do that.

Any answer saying that it is wrong to do that shows there must be a factor beyond need in the determination.

You don’t have any problems with it cycling? I’ve heard really big cans on tilt barrel handguns can cause problems with the weight of the can interfering with barrel movement.

What’s the can model? Do you like it?

A paintball filled with capsaicin or something similar. Technically many of the guns are sold purpose made as pepper ball launchers, but they are literally rebranded .68 cal paintball guns and compatible with commercial paintball gun parts.

I see two in the photo. Along with what I presume is a 37mm break open launcher.

Yes, they are repurposed to fire pepperballs.

People are giving answers to your specific hypothetical, but on a higher level, the answer is simple. The government likes having more money. Once a tax is in place, it becomes the new normal. It can be like pulling teeth to make a government roll back a tax. Groups in my local area have tried numerous times to roll back a specific tax where a government spokesperson has even said the tax is no longer fulfilling the original purpose, but removing the tax would now affect the overall budget. That has become the reason they refuse to remove it, and because neither party cares much about removing it, there’s no political leverage by the voters who care about it.

The OP is asking about using portions of copy written works. Therefore if those works were used or not wouldn’t be at issue. What would be issue is if the use is fair use. Which again, goes back to the balancing test which would be decided in court if the rights holder pursues it.

From what I have gathered of the Lemmy zeitgeist, intellectual property doesn’t exist except if AI uses it.

you can in some situations argue that the way you infringed on their copyright should be allowed

That would be an argument made in court, pursuant to the balancing test. You would be arguing that the use wasn’t actually infringement. Thats how fair use is determined.
