"some substances simply cannot be used safely for recreation." Do you have hard data on this? Because otherwise you are creating lots of victims with the war on drugs, who would otherwise just use drugs recreational without harmin

That is maybe, because most of them start doing hard drugs, when they are already not functioning well. And then Heroin gives them the rest and they turn into messed up junkies and criminals. And since it is illegal, it is hard to get data

"kill millions of birds." They do, but ... maybe have some perspective: "Merriman concludes that 1.17 million birds are killed by wind turbines in the US each year. This is a lot of birds, but it is only 0.016% of the estimat

Also, Hitlers name wasn't really Hitler, just like Stalins name wasn't Stalin. It was Schicklgruber and Iosseb Bessarionis dse Dschughaschwili. So .. if you want to become a dictator, better use a catchy name the masses can chant.

Trump: "we have the oil" Otherwise this is a pretty meaningless debate, when we are talking about office software.

Normal glass blocks most of it. But pure SiO2 fused quartz does not. A bit more affordable is probably borosilicate glass and I would like to have my windows replaced with them, but it is not really sold as a common window. So you can pro

Yeah, that is true. There also should be a mechanism for kicking members out, if they are not constructive, yet remain on the receiving end. Just the threat of it, might help.

"Do you think that your country would work is every citizen would need to agree to some law?" I like how switzerland works. If there is no broad support for a new law, then it does not happen. So not everyone has to agree, but yes

"We need early adopters, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to be an early adopter." That's right, but the time for early adopters with renewables was 20+ years ago.

Well, I am in germany and I am already not happy how our own government uses the tax money, despite that it pays also other members who do even worse things. I would change lots of things if I could. But my point was that I don't think

Everyone wants to fully control the devices they own. But more importantly they want their devices to work. So a half working open source lineageOS mobile is less valuable to them (and me), than a closed source, but working blob. But if you

That should also work, but I did not do it this way and had no problems after I got the basics right. I have general mousedown and mouseup handlers and use a timeout(~150 ms, but configurable), to determine if we deal with a click, or start

No, it also is about people wanting their software to be used by everyone, including buisness, without limitations. That can have selfish reasons like wanting money of buisness people, but can also have idealistic reasons. Not everyone is a
