People get pissed off about smart guns because state such as New Jersey want to shove them down everyone's throat, regardless of whether they have children present in their homes, whether they already have a safe they're happy wit

Most of us aren't opposed to this technology existing; the problem is that New Jersey law will require all handguns sold there to incorporate this technology shortly after they're available for sale anywhere in the US. We're

So previously, there was a law that said "it is a felony to carry a firearm in public, except as follows...", or something to that effect. Now there is no such law. I sincerely don't understand how you can view the removal of

What gun laws do you think Idahoans, of all people, want to see expanded?

You're mistaken. The KLM plane took off when it was not cleared, and they collided at 260km/h.

They'll just move to another platform. If Google banning such content is good, isn't passing laws to require websites to ban such content better?

>If public opinion continues to move in that direction then sure, regulation will get stricter. That's the way it should be. To many of us, that's akin to suggesting that freedom of speech should be curtailed if public sentimen

This is a terrible idea. Leaving aside the backstop issues, your living room does not have sufficient ventilation to safely shoot relationally.

>I think it's much more important to manage the access to ammunition. After all, a gun is only actually dangerous when it's loaded. Sure, a gun that isn't loaded can still be used to threaten people (because even then it d

Earth stays far, far more hospitable than Mars even after absolutely colossal asteroid impacts.

The vault is 130m above sea level. It's not going to flood even if the arctic and antarctic both melt entirely.

The Soviets kinda spoiled it for everyone when they smeared one of their reactors all over Northwest Canada.

I don't know why you would use an RTG instead of conventional fission reactors.

Asking about bubble sort is a terrible question, though. Bubble sort is a bad algorithm by virtually every measure relative to the alternatives. You might as well ask candidates to implement bogo sort.

If you pull the loops of a standard shoelace knot, you wind up with a square knot. Do the same with Ian's secure shoelace knot and you wind up with a surgeon's knot.

Doesn't affect my logic. Tragedy of the commons.

I'm curious, were these actual truffle dishes? Or were they simply flavored with truffle oil? Because truffle oil, is by most accounts, awful.

True. But their car seemingly has not been located; that suggests they didn't stop at a well frequented trailhead. One possible scenario is that they suffered a mechanical breakdown in a remote road or wash, similar to the Death Valley

Merely being aware of the tragedy of the commons won't make it go away.

Thanks. Obviously not a format I play.

by Pinckney 10y ago
Kind of. Standard is the most popular format, and has the lowest power level of the major constructed formats. Cards are only legal in standard for about 1 year. Most cards that are played in standard aren't powerful enough for Modern,

Yes. I like Netrunner because I feel you're less constrained by your draws. You can run aggressively with an empty board, forcing the corp to spend money on their defenses. You can spend actions digging for cards you need. Draws still

The modern stack is so much more sane than the old batch based system. You can still do plenty of interesting things with it, like casting Blessed Alliance during the end of combat step to get rid of Giest of Saint Traft, or casting Inferna
