Huh, it never would have occurred to me to see that as inappropriate. If my coworkers are sick, I want them using tissues rather than spreading their germs around. Tissues cost what, $0.01 each anyway?

My comment was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. Sorry I didn't convey that well. I do think the boardgame community has enough subniches that it's not immune to this problem, though.

Suggesting all boardgames are similar? Those are fighting words. Personally, I write off Gloomhaven because it's a tactical miniatures game (something I've never cared for). There are other high ranked games, like Caverna, which I

Why should I care about looking respectable to a bunch of bible-thumpers who've spent the last decades loudly screaming about how much they hate me and everyone like me?

Police spend more time driving than the average person, due to the nature of the job. Writing tickets on the side of the road is also hazardous. The job increases their risk of dying in a car accident.

Do you own property in an affected jurisdiction? If you don't, you won't be compelled to pay. Pack up and move somewhere that's not fucked. If, OTOH, you bought property, you took on this risk in doing so. You should have pri

Amusingly, InRangeTV and C&RArsenal have both responded by using pornhub as an alternate distribution platform.

Other countries can try to block that content, or they can try to punish their own residents for viewing it. Why would residents of the permissive country comply with a foreign court order?

Consider just the launch cost of an Apollo type mission. S-IVB is 110 Mg, the Command/Service module was 30 Mg, and the lunar module was 16 Mg. That gives us about 150 metric tonnes as a reasonable estimate of the payload to LEO needed

This seems to be mostly about skynet scenarios, which is an entirely different problem.

IMHO, unless you want to use this as part of some larger script, ncdu is far superior for this particular problem.

How do appeals work with circuit splits? Suppose I lose a case, appeal to the supreme court, and am rejected. Years later, a different case in a different circuit reaches a contradictory conclusion, but the losing side declines to appeal. C

I think it's useful to view these laws as a way to get around the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt." The actual societal problem -- the one that's been illegal forever -- is robbery. But it's hard to catch rob

The courts haven't yet decided whether or not the "bear arms" part of the second amendment means you have a right to carry arms outside your home. Wrenn v. DC recently ruled in favor of that interpretation, and DC is now deci

That's probably what I would say too, if my job required me to have a good working relationship with police.

I'm far from an expert, but the common ratings to look for are UL RSC, TL-15, or TL-30 depending on what level of protection you want. The ratings are expensive, so generally vendors show them off prominently. Not bolting it down does

It's a cool robot, but auto-dialers are a known tool in safecracking. Additionally, the safe in question seems to be a SentrySafe SF082CS, which caries NO security rating from UL. The lowest test rating, RSC, only requires the safe sur

Why does anyone think the magnet attack matters? The wireless safety is designed to defeat a child, or an assailant who manages to wrestle the gun away from you. The idea that they're going to pull out a big-ass rare earth magnet and f
