Well, we know now why one of the "heroes" has a Japanese name. I'm currently trying to decide whether Tatsuya ended up with the worst isekai experience I've ever encountered, or not. (The biggest competition, currently, is the guy who got offed in the first episode of Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road without ever understanding what was going on.)
Some of those just seem to require conspiracy, not overt action. If they ever discussed those possibilities, even as contingency plans, it might be possible to make a charge stick.
In the end, if this makes it to court, it's likely to come down to the judge.
Only in the US. But they do tend to be measured and sold by volume (rather than weight) in contexts like farmer's markets and pick-your-own operations.
Honestly, it's hard to tell what's going on at this point, or whether this guy could have been saved if the police had found him on the first pass (I can't see any mention of an exact cause of death). Right now, this looks more like incompetence and/or difficult conditions for a search than any kind of malice. Of course, that may change when and if more information is revealed.
Problem is, we've never found a better system. They all suck, in various ways, many of them far worse than representative democracy. And that's even if no one's messing with the details of the setup to keep a certain group in power.
If we actually had superintelligent AI, I might be concerned. But what we have instead is stochastic parrots with no innate volition. In and of themselves, they aren't dangerous at all—it's the humans backing them that we have to be wary of.
It's an American business (headquartered in California, which I'd bet is the jurisdiction where whatever law they're citing is actually in force). A shame that can't (yet) be used as a reason to prevent them from doing business in this country.
There are some circumstances where you'd be better off delivering pizzas. (As someone else already said, though, this guy is probably management and being very well-compensated for his on-call time.)
Yup, I nailed Saber's ID. We now have names for 6 of a presumed 13 Heroic Servants,
although I don't think Enkidu's class has been mentioned yet (by process of elimination on the first group of six, it would have to be Lancer or Rider).
We haven't had an entirely Canadian company, headquartered here and without significant cross-border supply chains, building consumer-grade vehicles in my lifetime (some commercial/industrial/military vehicles, yes, but not the kind of car you'd find parked in someone's driveway). Vehicle design, one of the more important skillsets involved, isn't done here for that segment. I don't expect this to change in the near future. Basically, we have little chance of doing anything but importing this type of vehicle, either in complete form or as most of the parts. Doing the final assembly here uses similar skillsets to other manufacturing industries, so the workers could, in theory, be trained elsewhere.
That doesn't mean we will lose the knowledge and skills needed to build transport. Those small actually Canadian producers of commercial, etc. vehicles can help us keep the important technologies in the country. Preferring them for government purchases and (if necessary) subsidizing them for corporate ones, even if they're a bit more expensive, can help. And it doesn't require us to compete in the consumer car market, where economies of scale are much more important. Given that, we should be importing consumer cars from as many places as can meet our safety and roadworthiness standards, to keep ourselves from becoming too dependent on any one source.
Yeah, where I am we're getting what would have been typical January weather in the town where I grew up . . . which is ~400km north of here. And we'd had ~40 less years of global warming back then. This weather isn't unprecedented or anything, but it's still pretty damned cold.
