Well, going back home

IN GIANT PRESSURIZED TUBE THAT SHOT OVER THE OCEAN.

FOR 15 HOURS
A giant pressurized tube made of some of the lightest, thinnest materials they could get away with, so you have mere inches/centimeters separating you from a five-mile fall to your death.

That is shooting over the air by processes that most people can't even understand and even the people who do understand it have to constantly correct people who think the explanation is one that's outdated.

I am visiting a friend in Moncton, and then, you know this is going on RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT. @_@

Oh wow. Stay safe.
Good that the guy isn't killing innocents, like most spree shooters. :P
Still, don't want anyone here at any risk of stray bullets. Obviously Moncton is a decently large area, but you never know what could happen. Do you have a basement or something there that you could hang out in until things have calmed down?

Someone killed three cops and is on the run now. In Canada.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

He's still on the run now, nearly a full day later, having killed three cops and injured two, in addition to an unconfirmed number of civilians.  He was spotted a few times this morning but his location is still unknown.  There were helicopters, armoured trucks and snipers surrounding his suspected position a little while ago but he turned out not to be there.  The news is going on and on about the role of social media in this, and of course they love to bring up how he has Megadeth lyrics on his Facebook page.
The weird thing is there were two other shootings in Canada yesterday, one in the same goddamn town, all seemingly unrelated.  The second shooter in Moncton shot and critically injured a civilian and was captured, and a third guy in Burnaby (my hometown, actually just like ten minutes east of my place) injured a cop, was tasered and died.

This guy needs to be deported back to USA.

He's definitely not Canadian.

Surprisingly, there are assholes of every nationality.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Except for New Zealand. They don't have buttholes when they come out of the womb; they require surgery at birth. :<

Is that, like, the reverse procedure to a colonectomy?

But yes, America isn't leaking. The crazies are everywhere. Some of them our crazies are your crazies. My father, who works in a psych ward at a local hospital, said that they admitted a new patient recently: an 18 year old girl from some nation I can't remember the name of, who had been raped by her family and now likes to lock herself in the bathroom, clog all the drains, turn on all the faucets and repeatedly flush the toilet so the room floods, then cover herself in poo and throw poo at the nurses/beat them up when they come to get her.
