I have always wondered how in the hell they tolerated the heat - those suits were not made of modern, cool materials. That shit was wool.

Better than the usual reaction they have I guess which is to just kill people.

Prosecution will have access to AI assistance. This, however, is what the public is going to get as court appointed defense in the near future.

Reply to comment by pointlessone in Sesame will join the major food allergens list on January 1, FDA says | CNN by YouAreNotMeLiar
Yeah it hides in a lot of places. The bad part is - at least from the two people I know who are allergic to it - that the reactions people have can be very bad and life threatening to even very small amounts.

Except for the backlight and hinge. Oh my god there was nothing worse then that damn tube light burning out or the video cable giving out after a short time. Happened way too frequently, too early, and was incredibly expensive to fix.
