Plenty of mass school (or other) shootings were done by legal firearms, using legally bought ammo. I get what you say, but if folks are smart they should be concerned by any firearm, legal or not. Its trivial in US to obtain one if your rec

I have a different opinion than yours. So what if that's some, very narrow definition of life? If I develop a tumor is it also a life? It certainly behaves so. World is full of human life. West (and not only) manufactures failed wars t

It is a sound pragmatic logic (ignoring few corner cases), but people deciding things in such hard situation often don't decide purely on logic, if at all.

No its pretty logical, I often get more info in comments than in article, plus many angles on topic. I only actually read the most interesting articles, often heading right into comments. Often the title sort of explains the whole topic (ie

I'll add another country with even better public transport (especially trains) - Switzerland. A small, dense and very wealthy country that has train station at the heart of every city and many villages, and the rest is covered by buses

That's not OK by any means, you don't have mandatory periodical technical inspections? This would fail immediately in any half-decent country. An example - wife's older Seat has 6 years old winter tires which were given for f

The pain of having an attractive wife or female partner. Some guys are so aggressive a-holes that more decent women end up shying away from men in general. Imagine being hit easily 10-50x a day, every effin' day. Work, street, public t

One can't rely on some sort of 'decency' of a given country and hope for the best, that ship has long sailed. You mention Sweden, I can easily also name Switzerland, the land of generally very decent, moral and polite people.

Have you ever backpacked around the world? I mean dirt cheap, immersed with locals and not some sterile luxury bubble. I've spent just in India & Nepal cca 6 months and barely scratched the surface of those places and cultures, I c

But form over function is the core of why Apple is such hugely successful company with just few products. Focus on emotions rather than technical aspects. Design over usability. Less choices for users, just compare how much you can tweak in

So its the usual culling just disguised as a different theme, and AI is a convenient scapegoat now while in the same time gloating about how ahead one's company is. There are real products and good use cases, and then there is this mas

But then you have much more tire dust, since it rises rather exponentially and not linearly with mass of the vehicle. Overall more health-friendly but not as much as people(owners) like to think.

Those are some powerful claims, do you have any links for that? Generally 2-pack smokers that started early ie in their 20s or even earlier don't live till retirement where I live, but I agree its a small sample and generally such peop

I would expect that mold can build up ie in ventilation where it remains unseen unless it literally clogs he whole system. You can't see the spores an often there is no strong foul smell.

There are massive oil, gas and metal reserves on eastern Ukraine. Sure, russia has those too but as a nation they are the very definition of greedy. When you have parts of their mafia state fighting for a bigger grab of money and power, you

I refuse to jump on this oh-so-popular bandwagon of (seemingly) everybody complaining how java is uncool ad nauseum. You can make cool stuff in literally any language, and syntactic sugar around and how to express it are details. That'

Similar story - did half the university courses in C or C++, then picked up this new language called Java for next semestral project. I made 3D map of my home country from a set of 3D points in something called Java3D, long-abandoned effort

First part yes, second hell no, why the heck the need to do such baseless attacks. We have plenty of sociopathic a-holes in Europe as well, I'd say more than plenty on all levels of society in all countries.

Thus failing the Game of life at the very core, with corresponding last moments full of regrets if available. Yes we all have met those folks, only fools (or similar but less successful folks) wish they would be those people.
