I understand the frustration, but living on an island means that you are isolated. Help is on the way, I’m sure, but they have to arrive via ship. If I remember right, Oahu is the only island with a proper harbor for ships. I don’t think Maui has any type of airport either.

Freedom of speech, not freedom from the consequences of said speech. It’s explicitly illegal to do what this smoothbrain did.
He wasn’t killed for saying anything. Sounds like this mouthbreather decided to suicide by cop when they confronted him. I’m no fan of cops, but FAFO in this case
Also if the consequences of “free speech” is being summarily executed or jailed, that isn’t really free speech is it? Do i have the freedom to rob a bank, but not the freedom from the consequences of robbing the bank?
The warrent had 3 counts: interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat
Also free speech is shit like: Biden is a terrible president and I fucking hate this country
Talking about how you should grab your ghillie + rifle to great the president is crossing the line
There’s even more details on other news articles. The guy was making explicit threats to a lot of people:
"I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!” he wrote
"The time is right for a presidential assassination or two,” Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. “First Joe then Kamala!!!”
"Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.
Credible threats have less free speech protection. But I’m also concerned about this. The article doesn’t have any details about the raid. If they were trying to arrest him and he pulled a gun, then that’s just how it goes. If it was a no-knock raid, then it’s closer to summary execution, in my opinion. Hopefully more details come out about this.
(2) (a) An actor commits a threat of violence if the actor: (i) (A) threatens to commit an offense involving bodily injury, death, or substantial property damage; and (B) acts with intent to place an individual in fear of imminent serious bodily injury, substantial bodily injury, or death; or (ii) makes a threat, accompanied by a show of immediate force or violence, to do bodily injury to an individual. (b) A threat under this section may be express or implied.
They showed up with an arrest warrant. Unless and until there’s some evidence where they just rolled up with the intent to murder him, I’m going to presume that’s not the case.
What are the odds that muons are more sensitive to neutrino interaction and this is what the scientists are seeing? Muons are pretty massive, after all, and neutrinos are literally everywhere. Obligatory: "billions of neutrinos pass through you every second".
Muons are leptons like neutrinos and their electron cousins, and we already know that electrons can be boosted by the occasional neutrino interaction. A free muon in a magnetic field has nowhere to be boosted to, so, coupled with a hypothetically higher chance of interacting with a neutrino, I'd expect something to happen when it does, though not exactly what.
I figure we don't already use muons in neutrino detectors because they don't last very long (about a second) before decaying, and the only way to get them to last longer is to accelerate them to a decent fraction of the speed of light. That way, from our reference frame they can last minutes or more. That's going to be energy-hungry compared to the passive detectors we have.
i.e. the passive detectors which take advantage of the aforementioned electron / atom interaction.
Interesting. I never expected a fifth. If anything, I’ve seen a push for reducing the number down to three (gravity, strong and electro-weak) or possibly just two.
