Not anymore.  With all the changes at Hostess, not only aren’t the HoHo’s 
lasting 3 weeks, they taste different, and not in a good way.  I haven’t bought 
any for months after my last experience on leaving them on the shelf too long.

I think Twinkies taste better than cat food, and they probably have a longer 
shelf life than cat food too.

Chuck, you just say that because Utah is far from the coasts and Mega-City One 
and Mega-City Two.  But probably in The Cursed Earth.

Well, they fixed it.  Texas style I guess.  And it will stay fixed, that is for 
sure.

We have all replace the entire run of CAT5 rather than waste time 
troubleshooting it.

Perhaps there was another way, but probably not a quick obvious solution.
Tear gas could have flushed him and caused more shooting, ditto pepper spray.
He could have dialed a phone number and blew up more people at any time.

Perhaps they could have put a tranquilizer rifle on the robot.
This is a case where the walking robots under control of an oculus rift virtual 
control may have been useful, but imagine a future with walking humanoid robots 
packing heat.
Put a bunch of armor on them, remote control Ironman.

Ken, some of are old enough that we will probably not have to worry about Judge 
Dredd becoming reality...

The gas that the Russians use isn’t instantaneous and you have to have specific 
containment.  In addition, there is no chance the Police Department even has it 
and the intelligence/military community aren’t going give it to them for a lone 
gunman.

More than likely they determined by then that he was the lone shooter and there 
was no way they were going to put more police lives in danger to take him 
alive.  They may also have made the determination that he was psychotic and did 
know that he had meth in his apartment and was probably still on it.  In 
addition, they thought he had another explosive device and since the found the 
materials at his apartment, nobody was going to get close to him and they 
couldn’t risk it going off.  There were no other options.

I would mention, since this is Jaime's and my state, that the mentality down 
here is to do something.  That is the default.  Maybe not the right decision 
but I think folks down here prefer action over inaction. Talking past a few 
hours is likely to be considered inaction.

Very slippery slope IMHO

we've been doing it for years in other countries tho so it was just a matter of 
time before we did it on our own soil.

Better to have him caged for the rest of his life IMHO.
