Generally, a preliminary injunction will be called for if the action is harmful and irreversible, if delaying it while the question is resolved wouldn't cause significant problems for the party being sued, and if the requesting party is likely to win the lawsuit anyway.

The lunch arrangements will vary greatly by age/grade level. A high school is more likely to have the canteen style while an elementary school is more likely to have the cafeteria style. In either case, bringing a lunch from home is also reasonably common.

I don't think you understand what "mass murder" means.

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 1 points 4 weeks ago

But that’s not what it means to the public

I know that. That's why I'm saying something.

It seems like you're advocating mass murder.

I'm saying that the bombing, etc. of Nazi Germany was a justifiable level of force under the circumstances. I'm splitting hairs and making a big deal over the difference between "force" and "violence". I think it's important to know exactly where that line is so as to avoid stepping over it, so I'm not just being intransigent and clinging to a minor point here.

The guillotine symbolizes to me a clear stepping over of the line from justified force to mob violence. And I think we would be better off if everyone shared my opinion.

It looks like you ninja-edited in the second part of your comment. I was responding to the original that only had quotes of prior comments and nothing else.

was it a mistake to bomb, kill, and invade nazi Germany?

No. But it would be a mistake to start bombing political rallies today, for example.

 

I've been listening to X-Minus-One episodes for the last few days and am really starting to appreciate the radio play format. Some of the stories are pretty dated, being from the 40's and 50's, but a lot of them still hold up if you're a little forgiving on the science details.
