Bad analogy. Fire Insurance is not more likely to burn your house down than it is to pay out for a disaster. Any view of firearm benefits that does not apples-to-apples weigh them against the more likely harms, is an incomplete one.

They can't stay if you catch them fast enough. If you want to pull the same scam to get it back, you need to convince them to be gone long enough for you to live there a couple days, unnoticed.

haha, the genesis library is about 90% just different hacked versions of Sonic 1, with different sprites replacing Sonic. And one I found particularly cute, "Sonic's Unexciting Quest", which starts in a level called "S

Yeah, but if they tell us they're doing that, then it's pretty obvious what they're up to. And if they don't tell us they're doing that, but do it anyway - then they have to perpetually pay every developer involved

A modest proposal indeed. I often wonder if, once the effects of climate change rack up a few million more dead, whether the people directly affected with nothing left to lose might go all Rambo on whatever responsible target of opportunity

I can not-pump 100M of oil in my own back yard. And you wouldn't believe the rate I can not pump it at! But seriously, this is harder than it sounds. Unless you pay him to permanently sequester $100M of oil, I don't see how it
