This is the idea, but it isn't a good idea. Police are given so many jobs, but are only really trained and capable of a few. We should be taking tasks off the plate of police (which they would agree they have too many) and giving them to other groups. This should mean moving funding from police to other response units, otherwise referred to as "defunding the police," but that sounds bad so I guess we can't do that.

It was concepts of an assassination attempt.

Did you read the text included with the post?

It's simpler in different ways. Understanding how to play the game is easier now, and modding is a cake walk compared to what it used to be (I wrote a mod for repairing equipment that got popular, which is almost identical to what they ended up implementing), especially adding custom blocks.

Understanding what to do is a lot harder. The dangerous stuff I caves that you can't run near or whatever, for example. Good luck figuring that out without the wiki. It used to be you'd punch a tree and then start mining. There was a lot less stuff to figure out. Sure, you needed to look up the optimal layer for diamonds if you wanted to optimize, but it wasn't required. Recipes you also used to have to look up, which was always dumb. Some recipes make sense, but especially as the game grew there's no way you could try all the combinations of items to figure out recipes. I still think it still works the same in vanilla somehow, but I always install a mod for that, especially since it's so much worse now and mods multiply it.

I don't know if that's good honestly. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I think the simplicity of the earlier game was part of the appeal. Try playing it now. There's so much stuff that I don't know what is happening half the time. I'll play it a bit every few years with friends, but every time it feels like they've taken things too far. Is anyone actually asking for more content?

The purpose would be to make it so the act of ramming is what causes them damage. Sure, they could actively attack the Chinese vessels, but it'd be a lot easier to claim no fault if the Chinese ship runs into you and that causes it to be damaged/destroyed.

I think having some hollow tipped spikes under the water line that detach and leave an inlet pipe in the Chinese ship could be a good idea. Explosive charges could be another option, but at what point is that an active or passive effect?

No Idea. My university did a yearly celebration as well and we for sure had snipers and guys with rifles walking around. If you know where to look, they're at most large events. I can't tell you about this location specifically, but it's common.

They are a part of the same police force. I'm not saying they're good people. I'm saying this role is not one doing harm, and is actually useful until we get our shooting issue under control. You'll see the same snipers at sporting events and anywhere else with a large gathering. They're obviously not there for the protesters, but in case someone decides to do something to start killing others.

It's much more mint shaped now, so I guess that's correct...

Yeah, he wanted to move the democrats further right. That's an issue (or benefit maybe) of primaries is that you can vote in the "opposition" primary to attempt to move them closer to your views. It does not make you a member of that party (except in the states where membership is a requirement, but that still doesn't mean you support them).

Voting against Trump definitely doesn't make you not a conservative/republican. Personally, I'd argue voting for him does that.

Read the article? "NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Solar Orbiter, when they coincidentally lined up to observe the same solar wind stream..." They both happened to capture data about the same event, which allowed them to combine the information to get better data. It's not weird that they collaborated, but it was unexpected that these two missions did in this case.
