Why bring up ACAB in this situation? The police were not involved in either side of the shooting. Per the article’s description the rifleman pulled out a rifle and appeared to be readying to fire before a protest peacekeeper (not police) shot and injured him using a handgun. Unfortunately in the cross fire one protester was killed by the peacekeeper but it looks like this prevented a potential mass shooting event.

Have any galaxies actually faded into darkness before? Considering our galaxy is basically the same age as the universe I find it hard to believe any galaxy has just run out of energy and gone dark.

I suppose you could interpret it as the galaxy leaving the observable universe, but that doesn’t have the same meaning to me.

The one in October 2022 (9 months after the invasion) or the one in July 2023 (17 months after the invasion)?

It wasn’t something I kept running, just a shortcut that would run the batch file and kill anything that wasn’t responding at the time. I’m not sure if this uses the same command I had set up at the time, but I remember it having a 100% success rate. I had it for one game in particular which would crash and stop responding but any attempts to get to the task manager (even with keyboard) would fail.

I haven’t had to use anything like this since Windows 10 as now you can just press Windows+Tab and move the task to a different desktop and then get into the task manager on your original desktop.

It was something like this. It would just kill all tasks that haven’t responded in X amount of time. Obviously this is not a great solution as it can cause data loss and you could accidentally close more than just the program you intend to close, but sometimes you have little choice.

A while ago I kept a shortcut in the taskbar that ran a batch file that killed any unresponsive task, worked even on those tasks that Task Manager can’t seem to close. As long as explorer was still running and I could alt tab and press that button it worked 100% of the time
