I get encoding issues when sending books directly as epub, so I have to use a epub->mobi conversion service (sendepubtokindle). Is there any way to fix encoding issues directly on kindle? I would really like to skip a step of conversion.

Analogies are akin to morphisms, and I'm pretty sure everyone has used at least one analogy in their life.

If you are new to lifting, you probably shouldn’t be handling weights that can damage your lower back and knees. You will learn the correct form as you progress. Ego is more dangerous than squats.

Starting strength is the most classic one: https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs Or you know, you could go into a couple of fitness forums and see which programs pop up again and again.

Wow, no shit the gun ban reduced firearm crimes. By “layered approach” I suppose you mean this cycle: people commit crimes -> ban the most popular method -> crime displaces -> ban the most popular method. Continuously claim that yo

I know US is much worse in violent crime, but you can’t fix problems by addressing its symptoms while overlooking their main cause. If UK is still running campaigns like “safe a life, bin that knife”, then maybe targeting guns was not the c

You guys now have things like “mass stabbings” and truck attacks. I don’t know how the numbers were effected, but the underlying issues still seem to exist. After all, it is not the guns that convince people to commit mass murders.

I mean, a person can shoot only one gun (accurately) at a time; and the calls usually denote the person targeted has a gun. Would the police force really apply Bayes’ rule to reevaluate the call’s truthiness if gun ownership halved?

If that happened, then that’s a huge point against the anti-2A argument, and huge point towards the cowardly cops argument.

> US cops are basically trained in thinking they work in occupied territory, but not in trigger discipline. Yeah, this sounds like an actual root cause compared to what the feds are trying to work on.

Guns are legal in many countries. Hell, I can just go out and buy one (after applying for a license). And people starting shooting is kind of expected when you break down their doors without announcing. For all they know, their lives are be

What is so different in USA so the local police feel compelled to knock down people’s doors when other countries’ police don’t?

Swatting seems like an uniquely American problem, whereas I’m pretty sure prank 911 calls are not. Has the FBI tried not knocking down the doors of people when the single piece of evidence they have is a phone call of unknown origin?

Shut-ins have always existed, at least they can be employed now. That is actually a nice pro for generally available remote work.
