Its fear the police can't (or won't) be there in time to defend them. It's entirely reasonable.

On the other hand, you better hope they are practicing at those shooting ranges. They are less than worthless for defense, if you are not familiar with how to use them.
I come from the aviation industry, where it's beaten into you to never rely on only one component. I wound up incorporating this into my life.

For example, when I work under my car, I put two jackstands under it. Everybody else only puts one.

It’s a good question. I don’t think these are good answers.
I think the real answer is that you need to elect governments that are going to seriously regulate agriculture, and then you need to continue to support those policies when the price of food inevitably increases. And you need to somehow convince everyone else to do the same.

The trend towards larger homes and storage probably contributes to accumulation.

I’m in a ~450 sq ft studio and having to consciously think about where a new purchase will go cuts down on buying “junk” and makes me a lot quicker to sell or dispose of things that are just taking up space.

Similarly, when I moved to a city with hideously expensive parking, I sold my car when I wasn’t using it enough to justify the expense.
But yeah for sure blaming yourself or calling yourself lazy or saying you don't know how or any sort of negative self-talk when you have this kind of brain is just not healthy and it's something that I wish a lot of other people with ADHD would realize that they should not be doing
Reloading ammo at home can be dangerous when fired if it’s not done properly (even small errors can cause a bullet to not fire fully/properly).

Usually it’s not a big deal if the person using the firearm knows what to look out for.

But with factory made ammo the chances of even a slight misfire vs reloading are drastically lower.

I would only buy reloaded ammo from someone I personally trusted or if I did it myself (not that I know how, but I’d trust me learning it over someone trying to make some money on the margin between factory and reloaded ammo)
The article is informative, but the answer is simple and obvious: Traditional sexism.

In their extreme, oxalates can lead to oxalate nephropathy, a major affliction if kidneys. That can happen when Oxalobacter fermigenes is depleted in microbiome.
I don't think looking at outcomes is a fair assessment at all.

I academically excelled, have a successful career, an early employee IPO exit, and a spate of really interesting side projects.

Yet I struggle with leading a normal life, prioritizing, sporadic and extreme hyper-focus, and frequent loss of interest. (If something doesn't interest me, I just won't do it. I have to pay people to do taxes, and I sometimes wish I could pay people to do my job or parts of it.)

Anecdotal, but I think your characterization could be misleading.

Abuse of children is a horrific crime that shuts people's ability to think. Maybe that's why you're reading a lot into the article that's not actually there.

> The news articles describe it as a pattern of abuse over time.

Neither article does this. Or, if I'm wrong, I'm sure you can post a quote directly from from the article that avers this. Or maybe it's from another article? Could you post this please?

> It's only when I read the horrific abuse that she allowed...

The only quote about that is from the prosecutor, talking to the press:

"The child was literally beaten from head to toe," said Ben Loring, assistant district attorney. "She was bruised on the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. The girl, who suffered some brain damage, had cigarette burns, a skull fracture and a broken wrist."

Truly awful. But nothing there about a repeated pattern of allowing torture. Nothing there about Elizabeth knowing about it.

Even that same guy, Loring, mentioned in both articles, thinks Elizabeth has done her time.

Sure it would get you kicked out, but it is unlikely to do anything to hurt the trust of the public at large towards politicans, because you told them the truth.

As I read you, and I could be wrong, it appears that your real complaint is that you can only get your strategy through by lying, but lying is bad so we should make lying not bad so you can ram your strategy through. If my reading is right, then it appears to be the same attitude that the plandemic people claim politicians have.

Demo of the Field Support Robot (FSR) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDHK2rrH_2Y

It is not a easy project, if you hit an athlete that's a problem. They mention in tests with visually impaired long jump they had to reduce gear noise of the FSR to not interfere with the other team member.

But it could have been done 20+ years ago, there's still no way they are even close to being cost effective. And I predict they will be used sparingly in the field since they will be too buggy. This is not an iterative design, it's a show it off then put it in a cupboard design
Just in time for lots of jobs to go fully remote so you can do this without lots of complicated or risky steps. I hope lots of people try it!
The idea is that you have 'remote violence' you can assert without getting in harm's way. That is of course not how reality works, but because someone might think that they now possess this capability using it might seem more attractive.

There is of course the idea that if you don't have it, you are 'helpless' as you might put it. That is just a precursor to an arms race. You can always retreat, delegate to a specialist (if there are any, i.e. a capable policing system) etc.

The issue with 'I might get violenced upon!' is that even if that happens, you having your own source of violence only means that the next incident requires more violence from the attacker's side, and more returning violence from the 'defender'. This is an endless loop that just ends in MAD (as posted below). The only thing it can do is escalate. Someone who already made to choice to attack/invade/break-the-rules is not going to be 'deterred' by someone owning a source of violence. They will just bring their own.

A while ago I read an article about a family man with a hidden 'gun room' in his house, which was 'for protection'. Turns out you can't actually carry 20 assault rifles in your two hands at once. Perhaps one might think this is for redundancy. But if you are in a situation where you need redundant firearms, those are unlikely to be the deciding factor, and investing in a car so you can simply drive away might have been the better choice. But it seems people would rather try to get some illegal RPG 'for protection' instead.
Well, you had me at the first sentence but lost me at the second.

Bertrand Russell said it's all "the random collocation of atoms." As far as anyone can tell, the meaning of Life, The Universe, and Everything is quantum physics. It explains all of the concepts currently attributed to both the physical and "spiritual" worlds.

Many religions acknowledge that there is no dichotomy between the physical and spiritual forms of experience. There is only one thing. If that's the case, the one thing's name is quantum physics. We can puts lots of other names on it from chance to déjà vu, from "bad behavior" to Beelzebub, but it's demonstrably the random collocation of atoms and probably not much more. Unless it's The Matrix, lol.
> practicing at those shooting ranges

There are nowhere near enough shooting ranges or ammo for this.
I agree that the 40h workweek is not technically “designed” per se but rather it’s the best confluence of factors such as keeping competition at bay, keeping society productive, making people feel useful, making life purposeful for many, etc. It’s the current local minima. If we could work 60 or 80 hours and still get the same benefits, we’d do so. However, nobody has experimented with working less while others work more because competition will eat you up.
That's not necessarily useful because the issue isn't music per se, it's the "artistic" part of scoring which may implicitly require music due to judge biases.

Artistic scoring is also where a lot of subjective corruption is, so it should be removed.
If you’re a Git CLI user then I can highly recommend using SCM Breeze [1] which makes things a bit prettier and more convenient. It gives you a shorthand for various commands and improves default output formatting.

For example, ‘git status’ becomes ‘gs’ and it also gives you a numbered list of files. You can then substitute these numbers in place of file names in subsequent commands. No more manually typing names / paths.

Other examples are:

* ‘git add <file name>’ -> ‘ga <number>’

* ‘git add -A’ -> ‘gaa’

* ‘git checkout’ -> ‘gco’

I would argue the greatest benefit of locally produced food is not necessarily reduced transportation expenses, but instead the consumer's visibility into the supply chain. It has been my experience that people are better stewards when they can see directly what impacts their behaviors have on the environment around them.
Also true. I was just commenting on the fbi checks.

Society does not. It's always "Bob won Olympic gold!" Nobody else is mentioned.

> And, again, they do the actual work.

Um, sacrificing and earning money so your child can pursue Olympic dreams is actual work. The full time coach for them does actual work. (There's a reason families will hire the best coaches available for $$$.) The sports doctors who optimize their health and manage their inevitable injuries do actual work. Their nutritionists do actual work.

There's no such thing as an Olympic athlete who did all the work, not even close.

Or maybe even a second category of gymnastics for both men and women, one focused more on rhythmic acrobatics that uses music and another one that's focused more on feats of strength and raw skill without music.

From the sounds of it, they're two different skills with different kinds of training I don't see why there couldn't be room for both kinds of gymnastics for both men and women.
I haven't read the actual article yet but whatever this internal resistance is I mean yeah... I have internal resistance about like everything at least what I'm guessing this person is trying to mean. I'll reply to this after I read it and see if I was right but I mean like... The easiest thing for me to do is to wake up sit on the couch take my meds and start watching YouTube. I'll know I want to work on my own personal projects or whatever on my computer and I'll be saying in my head over and over "get off the couch. Go work on that stuff you want to work on." And I just don't... Until I do and then when I do it's 12 hours later and I've accomplished a whole bunch of work and I've neglected myself. It's a fun time
I prefer merge/fast forward because I want all history preserved. People can rebase their changes in their branch, but rebasing is never done on the main or development branches. Most of the worst merge conflict I’ve had to deal with were caused by someone rebasing changes they didn’t make. I reject all pull requests that change history.
> I'd like to know the methodology that leads to that conclusion. Unless they are making some seriously handwavey assumptions in the absence of a 1:1 binding of individual/household to gun purchase which is technically illegal for the Government to maintain.

Likely just a survey.

I thought the number sounded high as well until I remember that most people in my family are technically gun owners because they inherited their parents' or grandparents' firearms. In our case, our great-grandparents settled and farmed land and needed firearms. They have now been passed down as essentially the only artifacts of our lineage's settlement in this country.

They've all been stored in gun safes, which is probably why they've persisted as some of the most well-preserved family heirlooms.

Some of these guns haven't been fired for 50 or maybe even 100 years, but technically they make people "gun owners" per these surveys.

Personally I think we could use more gun control, but if I'm being completely honest I would actually be quite upset if these family heirlooms became illegal or onerous to keep due to government regulation.
>Although, I'd still like to know how "required FBI background check", which I bet all are tracked and cross-referencable with the requestor, thereby giving a synthetic key to "gun purchase" does not translate to database of potential gun owners.

The NICS dataset is really bad for this sort of thing, because it's used for many purposes other than "checking eligibility to purchase gun". For example, Kentucky does a NICS check on every concealed carry permit holder every single month. Other states do the same thing, but perhaps only on a subset of permit holders or less frequently. It's my understanding that some private background check companies also use it as part of their research for job applicants and the like.
Yes because of the rule of law, if corporations out of their way we would be working 24/7 and disposed of and replaced when we ultimately keel over. Nothing about corporations, their corruption, or modern predatory capitalism is to be admired, so please stop

> Barry Goodwin, an economist at North Carolina State University, estimated the extra costs at 15% more per animal for a farm with 1,000 breeding pigs.

> If half the pork supply was suddenly lost in California, bacon prices would jump 60%, meaning a $6 package would rise to about $9.60, according to a study by the Hatamiya Group, a consulting firm hired by opponents of the state proposition.

So let supply and demand work it out? If, as this pork industry PR firm claims, half the pork supply just decides to not participate in the California market, it's financially sensible on the margin for any individual pork farmer to sell meat for anywhere from 15% to 49% more. Note in particular 15% per animal means you're not counting fixed costs like labor, so probably the final price increase will be less than 15%.

(This does show the weakness of the California proposition system, though: it's impossible for the normal functioning of government to clarify this law etc. because it's the unchangeable will of the people.)

The "ammo shortage" has been unrelenting since just before Obama got elected. There's people making a living finding and reselling closet caches of ammo from estate sales and such, they've been doing this for several years now.

Some calibers are going to wind up having antique value, because these folks are so good at scouring the land.
This will just fuel the rise of background mixing and decentralized exchanges. Many Bitcoin holders and devs will consider it an honor to make as much of the Bitcoin supply as "dirty" as possible and the community will mostly support it. Layer 2 also further hinders easy tracking of "dirty" addresses/transactions.

The FBI wants to interact with and attack the 200M+ people that will eventually hold "dirty bitcoin"? Much of whom are non-KYC holders? Good luck accomplishing that with a limited budget and man power.
There's no 'if' about it--since the vaccinated are carrying as much virus in their noses they're still spreading it.

This guy was born in 1939. These events happened in the 50s. It's been a long time, and at no point is the article saying of even implying it's a good thing: it's just some young person struggling to get by doing what he could because he thought it was the only way to get anywhere in life.

I don't understand why some people feel the need to be so damn judgemental and moralistic about things.
Step (3) is shaky, but a major contributing factor to suicides is household gun ownership. As far as I'm aware the theory is that the ability to go through with it the moment you're sufficiently motivated rather than having to plan a few minutes prevents a lot of people from talking themselves down.

Will be interesting to come back a year from now and see how many crimes were stopped by new gun owners.
God himself is omniscient, so He by definition knows all the reverses of all hashes.

Also, to know the reverse of any hash you don't even need full omniscience, just "merely" the knowledge of anything that ever happened. Rewind the history of the universe, read the reverse from RAM when the hash was computed, done.

Meat for everyone, at all meals all of the time isn’t sustainable. Demand for meat is among the things that drives farmers to produce meat and supermarkets to stock their shelves with it.

Many people want to eat meat at every meal when that is not necessary. There are more sustainable ways to produce meat for consumption and a more sustainable amount of consumption of meat that people could do. Would producing meat more sustainably drive the price up causing people to eat meat less?

Anyways, eat more vegetables, kids.
As it seems on topic, in case one wanted to join a quality internet death cult, but not sell one's soul, the Internet Death Cult of Fun is highly recommended.

That's an interesting concept which aligns well with our vernacular use of the expressions "soulless" and "selling your soul." If a soul is sensitivity to others then that certainly has to be developed. The fact that it's poorly developed in many people (and even less so down the line of animals) is a good indicator that it might be learned or built-up evolutionarily in the species and the individual.

I can relate very closely. It's almost spot on.

I think part of it lies with the final tasks being perceived as easy and routine, which is difficult for my brain to view as anything other than "busy work".

Of course much of the nature of the work can be that way, but in aggregate can be challenging enough to spur interest. Until the end, that is.

One hack I have is to have larger plans in mind for what needs to be done after launch. The next arcs of work. Make them big, and then finishing can feel like you're not even close to done.
