I read NIJ's paper as well. It backs up what I said, completely. Gun laws work. Have worked, do work, will work in the future if passed now.

Uh, except it wasn't proven to be fake. The Mueller Report substantiated all of it. Please cite any substantive sources about it being "proven to be fake". That's a Fox News line, not an argument. None of it was proven

Please don’t waste intelligent people’s time with the usual right-wing bullshit about how an AR-15 is radically different from military hardware and should not count as an assault weapon. Doesn’t pass the laugh test.

The figure is actually 77%. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/16/us/politics/legal-gun-pur... You’d already know this if you spent even two minutes investigating. And the claim holds up no matter how

If you're going to mock someone for not googling, you better come up with the goods: real evidence of substantial fraud in a quantity that would make a difference. Otherwise, keep the sarcastic BS to yourself. Please.

Anyone who thinks this is a stretch needs to be watching the Jan. 6th hearings tomorrow night. We came within a hair of a fascist takeover of the US in 2021. That threat is now stronger than it has ever been.

I imagine those figures fail to exclude spending by the rich on private schools for rich kids. That spending obviously doesn't do anything to help 99% of students. Anyway, we should be 1st. Not 4th. We're the richest country.

"Defund the police" is more of a Republican parody of Democrats than anything else. It's a Fox News slogan. No substantial portion of the Democratic Party supports this, or ever has. But it's a great way to lie about you

Sure there are. We know that lots of mass shootings are committed by people who go buy assault weapons and entire arsenals legally, even though there are multiple obvious red flags that should have prevented it. A lot of these people, to pu

How about a constitutional right to be safe and secure in our persons against Republican legislators who've been paid off by the gun lobby?

Sorry, I meant in comparison to the previous MB Air, not the 12" Macbook. I apologize for the lack of clarity. :)

Your comment contains no information, attempts to read the minds of others and assumes you can discern their motivations, and is tendentious.

I've lived in CA for 22 years, just moved away, and have studied German language and culture and music for all my life and have visited several times. So I guess I can speak fairly well to this. Overall, it pains me to say this, but I&

Please either support made-up arguments like this, with sources, or even better, don't post them to begin with. Don't waste our time. Absolutely nobody wants to hear that you have magical oracular powers that enable you to tell us

If it helps at all, new Air has a 13.7" display. Larger due to the narrower bezels.

The new Air is significantly smaller in volume, though.

No part of this is even close to correct. No, wealth is not being evenly spread, it's becoming more and more concentrated. And no, generations are not getting "ever-larger", either; birth rates are down. Even the "probab

Could be more of a US thing, sure. I don't have data at hand right now about CarPlay adoption in Europe. From this list, though, it certainly looks like European carmakers have very robust CarPlay support: https://www.apple.

False. People greatly prefer CarPlay if they are iPhone users, and already people are refusing to buy any car that doesn't support it. Phone holders are over. Even as early as 2017, the majority of car buyers already wanted CarPlay in

This isn't disinformation, and contrary to your comment, the Biden administration actually HAS come out to say that fossil fuels are a losing bet. That's why Biden made it such a huge priority in his platform to build sustainable,

It should be noted that Biden and Democrats generally are getting blamed for this, but the House passed a measure today to address price-gouging by oil companies, and every single Republican voted against it. Meanwhile, the oil companies ar

I'd say Apple is basically your only hope. And it remains to be seen whether Apple's car will ever ship, and if it does, it might not be available for the public to purchase.
