I miss my old plasma, that TV was fantastic. Such a shame that movers broke it.

If it involves firearms then the law, constitution and existing precedent mean nothing to the 9th Circuit of Appeals. When it comes to guns, no right is too important to not invalidate to prevent guns.

I’m a fan of grip safeties but I still want some form of manual switch I can use to render the gun safe. I honestly think that the FN Five seveN is the best solution but standard 1911 thumb safety (or an HK version with decocker) does the job just fine.

A safety exists to prevent human error. Not touching the trigger doesn’t solve this.

The primary argument of “you might forget to disengage it in the heat of the moment” is complete bullshit. If you can’t reliably disengage a safety you can’t reliably not pull the trigger during a draw, shooting yourself in the femoral artery or hand. Either you practice your draw until it’s muscle memory or you don’t, removing safety features to simplify the process doesn’t make you safer.

Well glocks don’t have safeties and require you to pull the trigger to disassemble. Negligent discharges when trying to show them off to people absolutely do happen, and with how you have to hold the gun to take it apart the “don’t point at anything you don’t wish to shoot” rule gets overlooked a lot.

They’re the default “modern” handgun but I’ve always said they are a terrible design.

This, I always get slammed for it in gun communities but I think Glock convincing everyone that pistols don’t need safeties (and later that safeties are a liability) is the single most dangerous action in the gun community in my lifetime. Safeties aren’t there to keep the gun from firing on its own, that’s just any modern gun that doesn’t malfunction, they exist as a final measure against human error.

If you buy a gun without a safety and allow anything to touch the trigger when it’s pointed at something you are not fully comfortable with shooting, you are negligent.

You would be surprised what percentage of the world, even those with access to air travel, aren’t that familiar with a western or Japanese toilet. Now shitting on someone’s yard is a different issue all together but I’ve seen plenty of hotels with signage in the bathroom of how to use the toilet and specifying that you need to be in the shower when taking a shower.

That’s just not how airports work when the secret service is controlling them. The VIPs have basically no say in how they get anywhere. They say where they’re going and everything is set up based on the USSS.

Secret service controls all of that for every POTUS/VPOTUS. The select which airport in each area works best for their security measures and the ground stops are standard and nothing the VP or any other passenger on the plane has control over.

The improvement is you’re less likely to use your computer the way you want to instead of the way Micro$lop wants to tell investors you could use it in a way beneficial to them.

Having a theoretical way to maybe do what I suggest hidden in a menu during install and potentially reversed on its own during a standard update (as it happened to me on windows 10) isn’t the same as having it be a clear choice to use one drive as a personally chosen storage location.

Yeah, I just don’t trust it so I don’t use it. I have one drive storage and use it, but only on my phone and via the website. I don’t let it touch my windows install because it’s just waaaaaay too aggressive.

I do not because I have never installed windows 11 on a computer personally. I tediously forced all my windows 10 installs to local accounts and forcibly clawed back my local folders on my old laptop after one drive stole everything. I’m also still super skeptical about how “easy” it is to avoid one drive “integration” on windows 11.

Needs more than just backing off AI to get me to upgrade my backup windows 10 installations (only use them for things Linux can’t do).

Control panel/settings needs to be fixed and they can fuck right off with one drive. Every file should be on my computer unless I specifically save to a clearly designated cloud drive. No cloud functions should ever touch files I have saved (by default) to my computer. Also unfuck the start and explorer menus and give me back my pinball.

After that we can talk, but I’m still skeptical.

Are you going to argue that police unions are a net good? They are the reason we have impenetrable qualifed immunity for even ridiculously egregious misconduct and any time a cop is shown to actually go over the absurdly strict line of what they can be held legally accountable for, the unions protect them at all costs. The reason criminal cops can just get hired at any other PD and their past is covered up/ignored is the police unions. I’m not saying they don’t do good things, but the bad they do is way too much to overlook.

With the legal authority police have, they need to be held to higher standards than the average person, instead the unions voraciously fight to ensure there are virtually zero standards for police conduct.

I spent months trying to get my GPU, I finally got it and settled on my ram figuring “I’ll just wait a year or so then upgrade when there are better options.” Whelp, there goes that plan.

So glad I built mine last year. I still wish I had gotten a bit more ram but I didn’t realize that the price gouging I was fighting at the time was just the beginning.

Bono wasn’t even born yet when the U-2 shoot down incident happened, which is also where it is placed chronologically in the song.

You know it’s not the band U2 in the song, right?

Ska is what plays in a 13 year old boy’s head when he finds an extra mozzarella stick.
