This is fear mongering. If what you say might happen ends up happening we are fucked. There’s no reason to even consider it because there is no way to hedge or protect against it. It’s like showing up to a job site with all the tools in the

Isn’t this a result of inflation in the interior finally catching up to the ridiculous pace that the coasts have had as coastal money flees inward due to WFH and unaffordable housing prices?

So your nuclear power caused death count over 4 decades is roughly 5000 people? I think we killed more people than that trying to make a non stick pan.

You first say that you had to go “hunting” to remove the widget but somehow removing it was “easy enough” in the next post? Something seems a bit hyperbolic between these two posts… which was it? Easy to remove or so hard you had to go hunt

This is a VERY charitable reading of the GP’s post. They mention beating “people” not companies and talk about “the kind of devs that can move around.”

Many bodies remain on or on the way to mountain summits like K2 and Everest. Retrieving them is prohibitively expensive. The conditions ensure that they will remain there in decomposed for centuries. Should we stop going into the mountains?

The GP asked “How does private gun ownership check the government?” The government of Minnesota was checked by private gun owners in 2020. You may think that waiting to vote at the ballots or having your phone calls dumped to a voicemail an

>> we may in fact give them too much credit, but to give them no credit at all would turn any arrest procedure into a brawl. This is possible and I accept this end point. My worldview is consistent, yours is bound up in perverse gotc

Self defense and defense of others is a clear line with case law and statutory interpretations going back centuries. I refuse to be pulled into your argument and its attempts to recast my position: police should have no privileges above an

I’m supporting a principle of violence against police any time it would be justified against an ordinary person. False arrest where you fear for your life? Yes. Arrest for a crime you’re not innocent of? No. Pulling you over in a hurry? No.

Any time it would be appropriate to shoot not-a-cop. Cop with his knee on someone’s neck where that person is obviously suffocating? It’s appropriate to shoot that cop.

During the start of the coronavirus pandemic Minnesota enacted a stay at home order. Protestors arrived at the governor’s residence armed with guns after the lockdown order was extended. The stay at home order was modified to be less restri

I find this leak to be incredibly ironic in light of the recent California required political disclosure law that got struck down. One of the key arguments from the charities that challenged that law was that California has a history of le

It’s worth noting that Clarence Thomas may not actually disagree with any of the rights found in those cases. Thomas has been a long time critic of the use of the due process clause for the finding of substantive rights, and he adhered to t

I’d be interested in seeing these metrics and how they quantify living standards. Does living standard mean “keeps pace with the average <standard> at a given time” or does it mean “given a specific objective <standard>“? For ex

These are defenses to a crime and they are explicitly provided for in the law. You don’t just get to assert a random defense just because you want to, which is what your approach is. There is no “good faith” or “did the right thing defense”

80k for 8 years of experience with a PE is a bit low. You should be cracking six figures by now if you’re structural and coming close if you’re actual (roadway) civil. Are you in materials testing? If so, obviously you should try to switch

Yes, but haven't you heard that productivity has gone up since we've moved to WFH? You'd probably have like 30-40 tick marks now if you toured all their homes.

You can certainly criticize Google for taking someone at their word when that person issues an ultimatum, but then you’re tacitly admitting that the person offering the ultimatum is approaching the negotiation in bad faith. Google should no
