At least 118 officers have left the Seattle Police Department (SPD) following mass Black Lives Matter protests and city budget cuts. It currently has around 1,200 officers on its force – the lowest number in a decade.

Other departures included officers who sought lateral moves to other departments or retired altogether. Making those numbers even more dire is the fact they don’t include another 14 […]

Some may answer without giving it a second thought, but we’re talking about sheep here. There are three things you can watch forever: fire, water, and a sheep headbutting stuff. This creature, however, is somewhat lazy about doing its favourite activity. While facing a cow leaving a pasture, the sheep moves backwards to have a nice charge but right before headbutting the cow with its full force, it stops and gives the bovine kind of a friendly a soft poke.

Only 30% of Ethereum Classic’s nodes will support future network hard forks after a major client walked away from the project last week.

In addition, it has concerns about that blockchain’s immutability, according to a GitHub vote Thursday. It’s also well known that client Multi-Geth will not support future network updates either for similar reasons. What this means is, of the 615 current Ethereum Classic nodes listed by ETC Nodes, 425 won’t update in the future as developers make changes via hard forks. That leaves […]

Trump ordering surrogates to say deaths a hoax and numbers all faked by George Soros NY Times: More than a hundred thousand lives have been lost to the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States, and while individuals and families have certainly grieved for their loved ones, there has been almost nothing in the way of a public remembrance of the lives lost. No national address; no moment of silence or official recognition beyond the occasional tweet. No sense from the president or his subordinates that these were untimely deaths — needless losses that ought to occasion collective mourning. There will be no […]
