I’m honestly surprised that the US cares about it… There’s near zero economic or strategic concerns left in that region for the US.
If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.

The charged particles that affect our electrical and electronic systems have mass and therefore cannot travel at the speed of light… We can see the visible light effects of a flare and know that the slower-moving particles that will cause actual damage are on the way.

Who could have possibly predicted that?
Apparently I either already did this so many years ago that I don’t remember doing it, or my account is so old (2006) that it predates these settings being added and they defaulted to “off” when added to existing accounts.
I have no idea if either is more effective.
I’m just used to every little town having a handful of local cops to handle local matters because that’s how it was in the very rural area where I grew up. Neighboring towns and counties did coordinate with each other for assistance when needed, and meet daily to discuss ongoing matters (they tended to each have somebody gather at the same place for lunch), so I expect the overall effectiveness is pretty similar… it’s just independent departments working together while primarily covering their own local areas rather than one giant department directing them all across a large area.
See the second part of my response, above.
The rural US is often very empty with long distances of pretty much nothing between towns. If those towns want a reliable, responsive police presence, they have to provide it themselves. Keep in mind that average population density is the US is about 1/4th of that in Europe… and it’s far lower than that when you get away from the North-East.
Revenue-generation from traffic tickets, if the town is along a major highway.
In other cases, it’s usually because the towns are just so far away from anything else and you can’t always wait 45 minutes for a cop to drive out from the city.
The only way to say “no” is to not give them the opportunity to ask the question to begin with.
Well, to be fair, Pinta is a clone of Paint.NET. It has never claimed to be an alternative to Photoshop.
