He then told police what really happened and said he had been drinking on his back deck with Hicks and wanted Hicks to shoot him with the vest on.
Alcohol and firearms — always an entertaining mixture.

Sufficient suspencion of disbelief to get immersed in the story kinda requires complete technical illiteracy.
That is not how suspension of disbelief works, you have to disregard what you know.
If you have to disregard what you know, then it's already badly written. The good version of suspension of disbelief happens when the ideas presented only depend on advances of technology, but don't violate the laws of physics as we know them. Or, if physics must be violated to keep the story going, it should be kept brief and out of the way, not stuck in the reader's face like an STD Exchange Party ad.
You're just telling the stories you like. Let me list a few absurd things that are absurd in movies and I don't care and still enjoy them:
- sound in space;
- time travel (this annoys me a little, but I liked Looper and it was very absurd on how it works)
- the ground doesn't break under Hulk when he lift a tank

Not to worry, now they'll also store your e-mail account password as well!
I thought they've been doing so for years?
You know, to automagically add your friends and great stuff like that.
LinkedIn used to ask for my gmail password. Idiots, it's the same as my LinkedIn password.

I'm not sure it's worth it. I might prefer to drink some DDT.
And given some of the research on actual DDT consumption, you probably have a lower chance of becoming ill from the DDT than from listening to Skrillex.

Probably along the same thought process as power lines, or people being "sick" around wi-fi.

How much do you think it cost to put that report in the paper?
How many people do you think were involved with getting those words from wherever the charges were filed to the printing press?

Can it be an assault if it's consensual?
If so, then that'll have an impact on several sports, like boxing. Also possibly BDSM.

Except for murder, the police don't usually press charges if the adult "victim" doesn't want to press charges. I don't know why they are pressing charges here.

"in connection with an aggravated assault" is what it says in the quote from @dcon. Would make more sense to charge on recless behavior, but then it wouldn't be
in thenews, I guess.

Do you also consider Debian to not be Linux? Because that's what gets installed when you press the "Linux" button in ChromeOS.

Paging @Polygeekery:
The research, which used data from a 160,000-strong cohort of Chinese adults, many of whom are unable to drink alcohol due to genetic intolerance, found that people who drink moderately - consuming 10 to 20 grams of alcohol a day - raise their risk of stroke by 10 to 15 percent.
I'm not sure this study applies to @Polygeekery or me. Thank $diety.
-
@Karla They chose the population sample specifically because of that genetic intolerance. The article did a poor job of explaining why they think the results are applicable to people without it. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they used them as the non-drinking control group, and the intolerance assured the researchers that the non-drinking group was really non-drinking. I dunno.

The media in general suck at reporting scientific studies. When I was a personal trainer, I noticed all the crap exercise reporting.
