You think that Trump wouldn’t love to disarm his political opponents if given the chance?

They’re already trying it with trans people.

Where it becomes an issue is when there’s a line. When you’re 3 cars back in the line for a gas pump you’re still done in just a few minutes. With charging it can be an hour or more of waiting.

As a leftist gun owner. I’m currently not interested in handing over my weapons.

The way people treat vegans and vegetarians is so weird.

If someone doesn’t smoke you don’t smoke with them. If they don’t drink you don’t drink with them. If they abstain from sex you don’t have sex with them. If they don’t like sports you don’t go to the game with them.

If they don’t eat meat they’re just an asshole.

There’s much more interest in science than there are careers in it.

I teach scuba and underwater photography at a major university as a side gig. I have dozens of former students with advanced degrees in aquatic biology who now work in retail.

It’s slower to encrypt and then delete the keys than it is to zero the drive, yes. But that’s not how it’s supposed to work.

You encrypt your data (based on the pre-generated key) piecemeal as you fill the drive over the course of years, then you delete the key when retiring the drive, so you can make a drive unreadable in seconds.

I remeber 9600 and 14.4k, and 28.8k.

I don’t remember 13.3.

According to Catholics, yes.

Aiding an abetting requires participation in the crime or encouragement to commit the crime to some extent. Simply saying how a crime can be committed is not aiding and abetting.

It’s very similar (and in some cases exactly the same) as being an accessory to a crime.

If the Brady Foundation says that people are 3D printing lower receivers using design files from a specific fosscad site to create ghost guns, then someone does that in California, the Brady Foundation isn’t “aiding and abetting.”

The accessory example of the above scenario would be directly telling someone exactly where and how to to get the specific parts and files they need and encouraging them to do so in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal with the direct intent of having them commit a crime.

Since the files are legal many places, as are the materials, it’s almost impossible to prove a specific intent to violate the law. It’s similar with TPB. MEGA got taken down because they directly hosted the files and specifically encouraged people to illegally pirate software using the site. TPB has never done either.

Schizophrenia

I want a grown-ups only lobby for online games with shorter play sessions and games that end by 8:30 so we can go to bed.

Telling someone how to do a thing isn’t aiding and abetting.

If I tell you that you can kill someone by shoving them off the Brooklyn Bridge, I’m not potentially taking part in a homicide.

That’s where we should be different. We should want them to see the error of their ways, but we shouldn’t want anybody to struggle to get food on the plate.

Knowing where to commit a crime is not illegal.

Dude - this was your chance to use “Cereal Killer.”

I just want him gone. Would I like to see him pay for his crimes? Absolutely. But between him dying of an aneurysm today and going to prison next week, I’ll take the aneurysm because that’s one less week with him in power.

I grew up in a town with a huge standing weekly flea market everyone knew about where everyone knew you were buying stolen stuff, fake IDs, bootlegs, etc. The way I finally convinced my family that TPB wasn’t illegal was by asking them if it was a crime to tell someone where the flea market was.

The dress is amazing. I used to see the white/gold but now see the blue/black.

When it went viralnI was taking a remote sensing class in college (all about color, really) and we had a long discussion about it.

While there’s truth there, the SR-71 still holds the records for highest sustained speed and altitude of any publicly-known air-breathing aircraft 60 years after they were adopted.
