One reason I heard is that guns wouldn't have been that effective on a balloon the size of a football field; mere pinpricks, basically. The balloon would leak, but not nearly fast enough to bring it down in a reasonable amount of time.

Never. That said, I'm always amazed by the products Amazon offers under "Subscribe and Save" (like, grocery carts? What kind of life are you living that you need a $70 cart every month?)

Do you have strong opinions on national policy? I see. And are you currently running for national office? Hmm.

I think it helps that the HN userbase is primarily smart people who don't take kindly to gratuitous obnoxiousness and trolling. Most of the moderation is done by the community itself: cause trouble, and you get downvoted. The really eg

And I doubt it helps Twitter's image that a lot of the remaining advertisers are the ad-world equivalent of those shitty little Taboola/Outbrain boxes you find on low-quality websites. I don't use the site much anymore, but t
