I use it sometimes, usually just to create boilerplate. Actual functionality it’s hit or miss, and often it ends up taking more time to fix than to write myself.

They did temporarily approve more cases shortly after the death. They certainly didn’t make major changes though, and I think it’s back at the status quo now.

Yep. Most people don’t know most of our debt is held by US citizens, which is actually beneficial sometimes. The government gets to spend money now and then they pay these people, with interest, in the future. Ideally they spend that internally, promoting more growth. As long as there’s growth it’s a positive effect.

However, this post (not the comment above) specifies foreign debt holders. For some reason the media only talks about this, not domestic holders, I guess because it sounds scary.

Yep, and anding with a bit ask is incredibly fast to process, so it’s not a big issue for performance.

Approachability. Valve is a recognizable name and the Steam Deck is notoriously usable in the sea of Linux uncertainty.

It’s very usable for a handheld gaming platform. It really isn’t any better for a desktop platform. The thing that makes it so usable is that you boot it and it boots into Steam Big Picture, and you don’t see the desktop. Most users never will. Is that how people are going to want their desktop to work though? Probably not. They probably don’t want to only use Steam. They probably want to use other applications too.

If limited games were actually an issue then the Switch wouldn’t sell. It can only play the games made for it. There are so many more PC exclusives than all console exclusives combined.

Y/m/d sucks honestly. It’s the opposite order of what you want. Day is most critical, then month, then year. That’s the order it should be in. Everything else is different levels of bad.

It’s convenient to place my phone on at my computer and it’s just always charged. It is a little less efficient, but if you’re running a heater anyway then technically they’re both lossless (though gas heat may be cheaper for you if you have gas heat).

I was hoping that they absurdity would make it clear, but obviously it wasn’t clear enough, because some of these people are crazy.

That was sarcasm.

Hey man, cis doesn’t mean anything besides you identify with your given gender at birth. Just like male/female are useful terms for communication, we have a term for that. In fact, cis isn’t even just for that. It’s just Latin meaning you’re in the same side of something. For example: cisalpine, meaning on this side of the alps (the side of Italy). No reasonable person would be offended by the term. It’s been used for over 100 years in this way. The only reason to be offended is if you’re told to be offended.

-sincerely: a cis-gendered man

Just call me a normal normal normal normal because I’m tired of being called a straight cis white man.

It also (hopefully) makes them consider why they only agreed with them before they said murdering women and children was bad. At least, we can hope that some are that self-aware.

It means properly educated and trained, and also the weapons were stored in armories, not at home, and organized into regiments and ready to be called up for active duty. Essentially, what the national guard is, with less organization between groups.

I did not mean regulated by laws. I meant that home gun ownership without any training or organization is not part of a well regulated militia, so it is not protected by the second amendment. Random people just owning guns at home is not “well regulated” by any definition.

Yep. Even the gun control issue, which is the most conflicted on this thread, isn’t a binary. What gun control? Background checks? Magazine restrictions? Firing mode restrictions? Barrel length restrictions? Round size/energy restrictions? Education, training, and/or storage requirements?

90% of people may agree that we need something, but they likely won’t agree on what.

It’s not a stretch at all. That is one form of gun control. The real number must be higher if just that one form is 90%, and there are many more methods and options.

We won’t agree on where to stop, but almost everyone wants some gun control laws.

Gun control does not mean no guns. It means it’s more controlled. I think the definition could (though never does or should) even include a requirement to own guns.

With proper education, sure. Maybe 1000 rounds is a bit much though.

My opinion is you should have to put in a certain number of hours of range time with your weapon (per year probably, not just one time) in order to have it. You should also have to demonstrate knowledge of maintanace and proof of proper storage available for it, especially if there are younger people in your house.

We require a license for a car, which has utility and is almost required in the US. We don’t have anything like that for guns for some reason. Why not? The 2A specifically states “well regulated” so it should be fine even with the most generous interpretation.

Everyone doesn’t need guns in order to raid an armory. Hell, if it turns to that point, some armories will likely be given over. Also, if it gets to that point, foreign aid will provide weapons and munitions.

I agree with some responsible gun ownership, but the 2A does not say what people usually think it says. (We have a professional standing army, so a militia isn’t required for the protection of the state, and a well regulated militia is not home gun ownership and storage.) It also wouldn’t be enough alone to fight our military. Most insurgencies don’t start incredibly well armed. You get to that point over time with good strategy.

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who supports people being allowed to own ICBMs, nukes, RPGs, etc. Even the most fervant 2A people agree reasonable limits apply.
