The land of the thief Home of the slave
The land of the thief Home of the slave
What? Are you saying you dad and all his friends used to use muzzle loaders before the ar-15? We’ve had bolt action at least since WW1 and semi-automatics have been common since WW2. There is no way you dad and his friends had muzzle loaders and only changed to AR-15 because of the popular crowd.
Or are you trying to say bolt action, but don’t know firearms? Because most of the old hunting rifles were old military surplus rifles largely made popular by familiarity of those who used similar in military service and the high availability of rifle rounds in common calibers.
Things like the Civilian Marksmanship Program that got old M1 Garands into civilian hands and the ubiquitous amount of 30-06 ammo that was easily accessible to hunters all over the country lead the previous era of gun owners. The current era of vets are familiar with the m4a1, but thats not available to civilians. But the ar-15 is similar so veterans tend to pick up the ar-15.
The ar-15 is also highly module. It can be rechambered in almost any caliber, has many attachments for accessories, can have the barrel, muzzle, and stock changed making it a favorite of anyone that finds a hobby in firearms. If you picked up a complete ar-15, you can change essentially everything but the lower receiver and have it be the “same” gun.
That’s why it’s popular and why so many people have one. Since it’s so popular and so common, it gets used in shootings. Not because of the traits you listed, but because the most dangerous gun is the one the criminal already has.
The problem is that most electric stove tops duty cycles this way. It’s terrible for low temperature applications in something that doesn’t have the mass to retain heat. And something that does have the mass takes a long time to hit those low temps unless you start with longer time on duty cycles. They also suck for precise heat control.
You can’t use a resister anywhere else in the circuit because it would be wildly inefficient that way. The only option might be regulating voltage. But that’s easier said than done.
I don’t think electric is necessarily bad. But it’s choosing the right tool for the job and both should probably be in a range instead of having it be one or the other.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
If you want to make a meaningful change, you have to play the long game. Right now, we have to vote to mitigate even worse disasters. If I had a viable third party in the presidential race, I would vote for them.
But the key word is viable. We don’t have one. So while Biden isn’t my favorite, my vote is less for him and more against Trump.
If you want to have a chance to see a third party that more represents your political views, you’ll need to campaign for a third party in local, state, and congressional elections for probably decades until they become popular enough to become a viable contender for the presidential office.
But in this presidential election, advocating for voting third party only benefits one person and that’s someone who not only would allow a worse genocide but will actively harm people in your community. Voting third party because Biden is complicit makes your actions, as noble and idealistic as you think they are, actively create a worse situation and makes you just as complicit in the pain and suffering that Trump will cause.
So campaign and vote third party in local, state, and congressional elections and build that following to disrupt the two party system. But you’ve already lost the presidential election.
Boo urns! Boo urns!!!
And it’s very, very red.
I hate the rhetoric that we can’t do anything because it would make Trump a martyr.
So it’s either let him do whatever he wants or he’s a martyr. I don’t know why they see this as a lose lose situation. Hold the fucker accountable for his actions or he’ll keep doing shitty things. It’s their fault that it’s gone on as long as it has.
So can we poison chatgpt and other language models to write more socially liberal laws when these people try and use it?
They’ve mistakenly taken it to mean “freedom from” instead of “freedom to”.
Again? This isn’t the first time he’s brought him up and praised him.
Often they don’t. If more granular permissions were to be used. Hklm/programdata needing admin to do anything in it for example. Putting permissions on hklm/software/package to write is enough to make a lot of software work without opening up the whole system.
It’s a sign for you to repent, but not her? Why is it always others and never themselves?
I hope it quick and soon.
I’m sick of playing this game. He is a clear threat to democracy and America itself.
Should we behave like the French when they raised the retirement age and riot?
Jack Antonoff is an excellent producer, he really made Some Nights as catchy as it was. As much as I love Nate, he really excelled with a partner. Just as he was able to work so well with Sam Means in The Format. Even the song he worked on with P!nk shows he has great talent, but he shines best when he can collaborate with another talented artist.
Nate’s solo album didn’t hit the same chords for me.
I tend to gravitate towards ‘All the pretty girls’ but I can put this album on repeat and sing along to the whole thing.
I left this comment unread for a month so I could come back and give it a listen when I could give it the attention it deserves.
A bit more melancholic that The Format. I dig it, it gives me strong Sorority Noise vibes. Maybe even some American Football emo vibes.
It’s hard to find a band that evokes the same emotions as The Format for me, Nate’s bright voice is unrivaled and Sam’s song writing was infectious.
Take his tower and house migrants in it!
I would love it if NYC siezed his trump tower and turned it into migrant housing.
If they are banning books, can we get the Bible banned?
