All of those things will happen whether we ban legal ownership of firearms or not. Metal detectors in school can still come in handy for things like knives, unless you intend to ban those too. Way more people die from car accidents and drug

Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? It's a backup. It's like saying "yeah my server runs super stable and I haven't had any power outages in the last few months, so I don't need a UPS, so I'll throw mine

And what is the point of "arms"? Why would the second most important right enumerated, be only placed there merely for keeping weapon-shaped trinkets in the household?

My outlook is that the world certainly isn't getting better any time soon. It'll get a lot worse first. And who knows how long that will take. And I want to be young enough to enjoy time with my kids when they're adults. The

I just think it's odd that you think that the solution to being picked on is to remove your right to defend yourself from being picked on. The 2A wasn't supposed to be just for "bigots". Use your rights. Relying on the g

Almost every single 2A-related ruling is party lines though. Seriously. Almost every single one.

While you're right, I'd say a good dictator is better than a good "council". Dang (and whoever helps him, if anyone) does a good job of keeping meaningful debate alive here, and shunning useless commentary and unwarrante

I find it funny how people have to clarify "I'm not right-learning btw" to lend more credence to their claims, and to not be attacked. Shows where we're at.

Unfortunately it applies to the whole Constitution. Those same people believe that the 2nd Amendment was only for a state-sanctioned militia and not for protection against tyranny, and simultaneously that it only applied to muskets and no

Yeah I think they meant if Compose worked with any other Docker equivalent, they wouldn't care specifically for Docker itself.

Great point. WSL has always been a wolf in sheeps clothing, in my eyes. I'm not saying it's not useful. It certainly fills a role people clearly wanted filled. But you'd be naive to think Microsoft isn't taking on an &qu

Unfortunately there's not really any competition in the GPU space for AI use. AMD hasn't stepped up, and Intel is barely getting its footing for basic gaming functionality. Nvidia has an established monopoly on the GPGPU space, an

I'd say: if you disagree, and the reason for disagreeing hasn't already been commented by someone else, then leave a downvote for OP, and upvote for replier. If you disagree, and someone else hasn't explained why, then reply.

Most permitless carry states still issue permits. And like the other commenter said, that doesn't absolve you of responsibility for your actions. You're still probably going to prison. I've experienced the same amount of viol

It seems like the obvious solution. Users are protected from one another in Unix, applications need to be protected from each other, therefore applications must be users.

For potentially shady services, I use privacy.com to generate a card to use. You can limit the amount it can spend to a total amount, monthly amount, yearly amount, or one-time use. Really handy if you want to be sure that you won't fo
