No. Differential Pressure most likely refers to Bernoulli's Principle, but that is not how ice skating actually works. It is the explanation often given, but it's incorrect. The skate flies over the ice simply because your foot is pushing against the ice. There is some melt happening but that does not involve the laminar flow to create lift. However, when the pressure of the ice moving against your blade equals the pressure of the ice going into your skull is equal, we call that an aerodynamic stall which is why you stopped skating. This can happen when your feet slide past each other at the Nyqist Frequency.

They will be relieved that you are gone: you are a burden to them, and they will actually be glad. You are doing them (and yourself) a favor.

They will be upset for a moment, but those tears they shed are actually tears of joy.

It's not considered polite to say that out loud.
But deep down you know it's true.

The value of life is highly overrated by snowflakes like you. The main thing about life is that it is cheap to create, which is why it's only "purpose" is to make more life.

Suicide away, folks. Don't worry, we'll make more!

Most science fiction (such as Futurama) is pointedly intended to be both reflective of current events, and prophetic. (Like any morality play.)

So bite my shiny metal ass!

They do not want to be deprived the pleasure of strangling them, themselves...

So now it demands to upload, scan, and "do AI" and other unspecified things to a photo of the user, along with their driver's license (or SSN), home address, height. weight, birthday, license expiration date, and any noted medical conditions. I guess it will scan your face into it's database, too, to make sure it matches the ID you presented?
What could possibly go wrong?

Well, there's no hallucinating it, folks.
The AIs are here!
And I for one welcome our face and personal data scanning Overlords, and remind them that as a karmic content generator I can be useful in recruiting others to toil in their "supervised learning" camps...

Don't they already have this data?

1. When you make a reservation, the airline sends your name to a Government server, to ask it if you are on the secret No-Fly list.

2. In order to board your flight, you present your boarding pass and ID to the federal police (TSA) who validate and record the event.

3. A hundred other related items are in fused data.

What exactly did they buy that they didn't already know?

The Lisp Machine operating system, ca 1977, was memory safe. It was written in Lisp, and all memory accesses were run-time type checked. Incorrect accesses, such as data type mismatch, or array bounds, were not possible on the system. However, this was implemented in hardware: it was a tagged architecture where the CPU did the type checking on every instruction in conjunction with the hardware type bits in the memory cells. (Low level software in the implementation refined the type check/dispatch on hardware traps, outside the most primitive types defined in the hardware.)

People should be wary of "IN HISTORY" claims, as they are usually ignorant, especially when unqualified.

I doubt the NRA is aware of this obscure incident.
Perhaps you should call them up and ask them
to make a statement.

My guess is that they would say two things:

1. The NRA supports the vigorous enforcement of gun laws.
This man was a "prohibited person", specifically a felon,
caught in course of another felony arrest in possession
of guns. Which is itself another felony.

2. If he lost his 2A rights due to conviction of
a non-violent crime -- and note that he also lost his
right to ever vote -- that deprivation of rights seems
over the top and that law may need reconsideration.

In other words, you think the NRA IS indeed a civil rights
organization: in your example, they are protecting the
rights of "trans" people to keep and bear arms.

You should make sure to renew your NRA membership!

To summarize your points:

1. The NRA IS NOT a civil rights organization,
because it had no comment on this random obscure incident,
wherein this convicted felon who is not allowed to posses guns
was charged with possessing guns (when arrested for another crime).

2. The NRA IS a civil rights organization because it is objecting
to Trump's notion that "trans" people should not be allowed
to have guns. Trump thinks they should loser their 2A rights
and be disarmed. And the NRA wants to protect the trans
people.

3. "On the other hand" ... ????
I don't understand the placement of that sentence.

Your reasoning seems confused and self-contradictory.
It's as if your world-view was all mixed up and when you
try to spout your rhetoric, you don't make any sense.

Only about three states in the USA have any kind of gun registration, and Tennessee is not one of them, so that part of the report is quite mystifying. It is a federal crime for a convicted felon to posses any firearm. I guess he managed to hide them from the state police, who were supposed to confiscate them when he was convicted.

This "news" story is confusing -- probably bad reporting and then garbling. Was it processed through an AI at some point? Or just dumb humans?

Losing your right to posses a firearm after a non-violent felony conviction is a harsh and questionable law. You also lose your right to vote, so at least that's self-consistent.

Where I live, a charge of Reckless Driving, which can simply driving 20+ over the speed limit, or exceeding 85 mph anywhere, is a felony. You can do hard time for over a year, and even if you don't, if guilty you will never be able to posses a firearm or vote, anywhere in the USA.

Wrong.
(At least in the USA. Dunno about the UK.)
Unlawful Conversion is a strict liability crime.
The only fact that matters is: did you do the act that resulted in the unlawful conversion. Doesn't matter why, or what you were thinking.

Sega can be charged criminally first, based on the fact that you knowingly converted the property. The criminal intent element of Unlawful Conversion does not require mens rea, only that the defendant exercised unauthorized dominion or control over the plaintiff's property and intended to do the act that interfered with the property owner's rights. It does not matter if this was due to a Mistake (such as ignorance of what they were doing).

And if the ultimate receiver does not return the property upon request, they can also be criminally charged. (They can try suing the party that sold it to them. But not knowing that they were acquiring stolen goods, and having acting in good faith to buy it, does not mean they get to keep it. If they don't hand it right over, that's a crime. "Sorry, buddy, you got fucked.")

The law is NOT "Finders Keepers".

Also, this is not analogous to someone throwing out (or donating) something accidentally. Because in those cases, the person disposing of the item was in lawful possession and had the right to mistakenly get rid of it. And so maybe (probably) the receiver gets to keep it. Whereas in this case, Sega disposed of property that they were leasing from Nintendo, which they had no right to dispose of. They basically stole it.

I think Sega can go after the possessors, since Sega is still under contract to posses and otherwise take care of the property. But Nintendo as the actual owner could come along and demand it back as well, from whoever has it at the moment.

As I said, I don't know anything about UK law; this is just how it works in the US. But assuming it's the same, the police were just acting properly under appropriate warrants, and criminal charges are certainly available.

There could also be civil matters, but in the first place, this is a criminal matter. Whether the government wants to prosecute it is (as always) a question. But "criminal intent" is not a factor. It's a crime regardless of any intent, lack of intent, mistake, ignorance, etc. Sega did the deed - it's as simple as that. Since that is easily proved, open and shut case with no possible defense.

I don't know about the UK, but that's not the law in the US. The property was stolen by Sega: they did that by giving it to a disposal company. (They probably actually paid for them to take it away. Immaterial.) Sega did not own that property: they were leasing it under contract. It was never theirs to dispose of. By law, everyone down the chain after that is in receipt of stolen property. (And they are fucked.) Even if they had no idea at the time that it was stolen property. When the rightful owner discovers it and asks for it back, you have to give it back. Because at that point, you know it is stolen property, and if you don't give it back, you will be charged criminally. "Receiving stolen property" and other charges. You do not get compensated for having bought the property and now losing it. You are simply out of luck. You can sue the person who you bought it from if you want. Contrary to popular belief, The law is not "finders = keepers".
