Re:... and it's not a gun
A gun is just a tube, a few rubberbands, and a small nail. The part that is hard to build anywhere, and is the most important part, is the ammunition. Without the ammunition, the best a gun is, is just a weirdly-shaped club.

Re:Duh
Because Facebook causes depression. It's as toxic as methyl mercury
I'll agree it's toxic, but not as bad as Methylmercury. However, I'm pedantic as fuck. I think you were thinking of dimethylmercury. Still, I'd disagree.
Facebook has an antidote. It's free and worked well for me.
Otherwise, I agree with what you're trying to say.

Attempting to do what is already done?
> I find it humorous that the same people who are in favor of voter ID laws disapprove of any attempts to require background checks to buy an AR-15, 5000 rounds of ammo and a bump stock.
Who's attempting to require that? It is required and it's not hard to look up the process. The NRA was the one helping blacks get guns to defend themselves from the Democrat-founded KKK lynchers, so it's kind of a mystery why making it harder for black people to buy guns somehow isn't racist, when black men suffer so much of the gun violence, isn't it? It's almost like this is just an excuse to get what you want and not something you actually care about...
When you're buying a gun from a licensed retailer, you'll have to provide more than a handshake and money. Identification and confirmation of the above Federal guidelines regarding firearms will need to be provided. This process will vary from country to country.
In the United States, you'll need to furnish a photo ID and fill out Form 4473. This is used to confirm your status as a citizen who is qualified to own a firearm in the United States. These forms are kept on file at gun stores, to make records easily available to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), if necessary. If and when a gun store closes, these forms become the property of BATFE.
From this information, licensed retailers perform background checks, in the event that you're trying to purchase a handgun. Background checks are performed through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), and are required any time you want to purchase a handgun.
Background checks and waiting periods aren't one in the same. In some places, the background check will come back immediately, while in others it may take up to three or four days if the system is bogged down. Eventually, the response should come back "approved," "disapproved," or will come back with a "delay," which means that more investigation is required. This will all need to happen before a waiting period takes effect.

Re:Locks in general, are not very secure.
Yeah, but this has the potential to make casual attacks even easier.
Does anyone know how hard it would be to update/patch the locks? Can it be patched at all?
There are so many ways to compromise locks, this changes nothing. Hotel locks are not electronic for security, they are electronic for ease of management.

Re:Even worse than the FB faux pas...
Not necessarily a sick world, just that Facebook users seem to be a sick bunch. Do you use Facebook, why, are you looking for this stuff? Should you be using Facebook? Should you allow family members to use Facebook? Should you be associating with people who use Facebook? Just because large numbers of Facebook users have questionable morals, does not mean the rest of is who do not use that platform and avoid it like the plague are not of the same low moral standard. Is Facebook in reality worse than https://www.4chan.org/ , much worse?

Re:Actually . . .
Things like the ISS and Iridium flares are from satellites which serve some practical purpose. This disco ball serves no practical purpose, and just adds another item to the thousands of items astronomers have to check for which may possibly intrude on their observations for the night.
It's the difference between someone accidentally shining a laser at your eyes just because they thought it was fun and cool to play around with a laser pointer, and someone accidentally shining a laser at your eyes while setting up equipment designed to give advance warning of an arriving earthquake. The latter is unfortunate but understandable, the former is inexcusable.
Fortunately its orbit is low enough it'll decay and burn up soon. But even that is assuming it doesn't hit some other piece of debris and shatter, kicking up pieces of junk into a higher orbit which could end up circling the Earth for decades if not millenia. It's a really bad risk to be taking for something whose purpose is entirely artistic. Astronomers are making a big deal about it because they're trying to nip the problem in the bud. Since we currently have no means of capturing and removing space junk from orbit, once something gets stuck up there, it's potentially up there forever. -

Re:Idiocy
The battery on my first Nexus 5 began flaking out 11 months after I bought it. It would last til the afternoon (about 40%), then drop precipitously in the next hour until it died. I called for warranty service and Google requested I do a rundown test in safe mode. In that mode, only the apps which shipped with the phone are allowed to function - no add-on apps.
The damn thing took a full 2 days to hit 50% and even with the faulty battery almost lasted a third day before dying. That's when I realized smartphone battery life isn't significantly worse than the old flip phones. It's all the damn apps we load them up with running in the background, and the extra screen time spent using those apps which kills battery life. -

Re: Hiding of recording abilities is crucial
Sorry,
you are either the stupids nitpicker I have ever heard of or simply don't want to grasp it.
This doll is no more capable of picking up my phone's microphone input than your phone is
Facepalm, no one said this. However my phone is able to pick up what you are talking if the Doll sends it to my phone ... and that was the point.What you say about our phones is irrelevant anyway, but I give you a hint: a phone is a device that is PURPOSELY designed to allow wire less COMMUNICATION via radio waves. It has a FCC number e.g. and gets in EVERY COUNTRY where it is sold an APROVEL, or can't be sold.
That doll is SUPPOSED to be a DOLL and NOTHING MORE. The Bluetooth chip involved might require an FCC number, too. No idea. The doll is NOT A COMMUNICATION DEVICE. Correct?
However the doll can be ABUSED as a COMMUNICATION DEVICE. That is illegal on several ends first the owners don't know it, secondly it has not the required LICENCE as a COMMUNICATION DEVICE.
To make it half way legal and your point halfway correct, the Doll needs at least a license/ist own FCC number to be legaly used in "consented communications". Every BABY PHONE has such a license. Why not the Doll???
And then finally, why you don't want to grasp the fact about the secret spying, is beyond me. It is ILLEGAL to OWN devices that have the sole PURPOSE to be used for EVESDROPPING for everyone except LAW ENFORCEMENT (under order of a judge!)
This all has nothing to do with the question if the Doll had a build in mobile phone, uses Bluetooth, uses Wifi or is an UHF radio. The simple fact that it is transmitting voice is the start of the legal problem chain.
And instead of arguing wether the german agencay that pointed out that those devices are illegal is right or wrong, I would suggest to check your own laws regarding that first.
E.g. start with: http://www.wikihow.com/Get-an-...
Wow, you need a license to operate a powerfull radio transmitter. In Germany you unfortunatly need basically for EVERY apparatus that does transmissions a license. Either the one producing the device. or the owner, or both.I guess as soon as the software bugs are weeded out the doll simply counts as sophisticated baby phone, and all is fine. So what is your proble?

Re:White Leftists Whine, China Creates Superhumans
And husbands could, no, wait for it, WILL merely adopt these children.
And you're offering to pay the $1500-$2500 for that?
But when a Leftist proposes something equally stupid, they get a pass for caring, being correct, and generally nice people, no matter how much money and freedom THEY take in the name of whatever cause du jour they are forcing.
At least the liberals can pretend to believe that whatever they're doing is helping somebody regardless of whether it works or whose liberties it infringes. Can you even name one person being helped by Tennessee's proposed bill? Of course because you're not a morally bankrupt hypocrite who actually is against big government and doesn't just use it as a bumper sticker, you're not going to name whatever government agency or courthouse collects that money, right?

Micro$oft will destroy Linux
Buy a Systems76 computer and then install Windows if you need to, or better yet, ReactOS. It's an open source version that actually works very well. That out of the way, Micro$oft joins the Linux Foundation and just a day later, popular Linux blogs start advertising their cloud services, including Outlook. Meanwhile, a VERY popular email client like Thunderbird barely makes funding. They are clouding us all out of true free and open source software and Linux Foundation got greedy now that Linux touched 2-3% market share. It's literally a play by play of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. http://m.wikihow.com/Understan... 1. "Realize that the victorious strategist is he who only seeks battle after the victory has been won." Micro$oft occupies about 80%+ or so of desktops. Victory has already been won. 2. "Understand that the control of a large force is no different than controlling of a few men, being merely the question of dividing the force." This was achieved via game consoles, mobile devices, cloud platforms, etc., including the addition of Linux bash and Unity interface for Windows 10, spyware in sheep's clothing. 3. "Know that to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence." Micro$oft gets backlash all the time, including viruses, spying, backdoors wide open, etc. but has a fanboy, misinformed community that only want to play video games (hence Cortana) and mostly a culture of Millennials that could care less about privacy. There is no "fight" or "conquering" when the enemy doesn't even know they've already conceded defeat. You "cool geeks" have been assimilated. 3. "Know that it is an essential in war to know when to attack." They don't have to when they got fans to do it for them. Kinda like loving your crappy car and getting mad when people hate on it, even though you know it sucks and didn't listen or notice the signs to not buy it in the first place. Once you buy a W10 PC, the hole is too deep to get out of most of the time, usually due to hardware that prevents installation of Linux (easily), including "Chrimebooks." 4. "Know your enemy as you know yourself. In war, let your objective be victory and not lengthy campaign." This is a proprietary vs. FREE and open source issue. Micro$oft only recently started acknowledging Linux as a legitimate OS to make us all feel warm and gooey inside (guess what they goo really is). That's a parasite growing inside and it only feeds on freedom and privacy. However in the Linux world, free and open source is something sacred. All it has ever had was a "lengthy campaign." 5. "Understand that the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy and does not allow his will to be imposed on him." "Throw in you're enemy's way that which he cannot comprehend. This will force him to come out even of the darkest of shadows and reveal himself." Linux used to be about providing an free and open source platform for everyone, but this requires founding. So, Micro$oft partners with Canonical (Ubuntu) to make it more lucrative. Linux people generally do not intend to make money with their developed software, or at least as a substantial part of income. The "revealing" here is trusted organizations selling out due to economic doubts that are just going to get worse thanks to Silly Con You Valley speeding nonsense. Hence: "Divide his forces and keep your forces concentrated." "Supreme strategy (Micro$oft) always aids the inferior side (Linux, but superior in my opinion). Do not repeat those tactics that have previously gained you victory. Let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." There's another quote in the book that deals with using your enemies recourses rather than your own. If Micro$oft "loves" open source, that's all this is, and selfishly so. They know they will never design a fast and secure system as well as a Linux machine for cloud computing, which gives them total control but still claim "open source." So, they build their own L

Re:backup!
The problem with side mirrors is about 80% of drivers are idiots and aim both side mirrors to show you the view behind the car, which is already covered by the rearview mirror.
Given that

Re:Waste of time
Few people will figure it out easily?
From the first five or so links returned from a search on "download Youtube videos," we have:
http://www.wikihow.com/Downloa...
There's like four different methods there with step-by-step guides on each that you would have to be illiterate _not_ to understand.
Incidentally yes, they are a "major search engine" and they most likely can and do "self-censor" their search results...that's already been well established, search for Tiannamen Square on Google in Beijing and you'll find that there are a few rather important pictures missing from Images. You obviously don't understand piracy; if it's possible to get something for free with even an extraordinary amount of effort, quite a few people are willing to go through that effort rather than actually pay for something. Similarly with Google; I _could_ make an account so that walled-off videos marked for "adults" are easily accessible...or I could just pipe the URL over to youtube-dl and get the video without the hassle, since it doesn't require you to login to actually download the video. If Google were in the business of protecting content on YouTube they'd have done away with that possibility overnight; maybe the real question you should be asking is why they aren't? Why are they allowing it to happen, then pursuing legal action against websites that facilitate what they've already _allowed_ to happen?

Re:Frivolous lawsuit
Well then obviously you need to immediately contact the defense council and inform them that, via your rigorous research, you have determined that Snapchat does not offer a trophy for posting while moving faster than 100mph, that there is not a speed filter, and that the passenger in the car who described exactly what the driver was doing is delusional or lying. I'm sure they will offer their profound thanks for your services.
You should also contact change.org to have them remove this petition, since it is no longer an issue. Again, thanks to your exhaustive research.
You also need to get in Wikihow and amend this page, which describes how to use the non-existent speed filter. Make sure to note that this is based on your extensive personal use and deep understanding of the Snapchat app, and clarify that it's not just based on you doing a couple Google searches and thinking you know all the features of Snapchat.
Oh yeah, when you contact the defense council, make sure you also give them your evidence that there was no trophy offered by Snapchat at the time of the accident. The judge might ask for something like that, you just want to cover all of your bases. I'm sure they'll be happy to take you out to lunch or something.

Re:Zero carbs = magic
That won't help me much (for example), because besides having metabolic syndrome I also have a hyperuricemia problem: too much protein and some fats will lead me to gout.
So basically I can drink water. For the moment...
You might want to check with a Nephrologist. My GFR was down to 44 (not good) and seeing a kidney specialist and his dietitian put me on the right track. They are chemists, and they explain things from that point of view... it's really helpful. My GFR is now back in the safe zone but I'll be babying my kidneys from now on. I also have gout and take allopurinol and watch out for trigger foods, pork fat and something in Wyler's light drinks are two of mine. Too much protein is bad, and vegetable protein is better than animal as far as my kidneys are concerned. Beans with rice or lentils with barley give a complete protein and are much easier on the body, more on that here: http://www.wikihow.com/Combine-Food-to-Make-Complete-Protein. Good Luck.

Re:Big secret: you don't need Facebook
The two big "activism days" I think we need to enshrine in Internet culture is:
1. Leave your big bank day -- the fifth of every november seems to be the ideal day for this as it was several years ago a day to move to a much more sensible credit union or local bank. They're not hard to find and they give much better deals and are more personal than a regular bank. Plus they're not too big to fail.
2. Ditch Facebook Day. Really this should be every day, but if someone can think of an appropriate day to build up to so you can tell all your friends you're leaving, and have it happen en masse... I think it would be good for the world for the exodus to start happening.

My mars mission would be ...
Don't know why no one talks about something like this:
o an inflatable small greenhouse
o probably some self repairing sheet which can heal if small enough mini Meteors damage it
o obviously a kind of web cam
o closed environment with enough earth and water to let a few bean plants and / or potatoes grow (you probably have seen big glass bottles with a small "garden" inside" http://www.wikihow.com/Grow-a-...
o if the balance is right, you can close the bottle air tight (my mother used to have such bottles)
o probably we could abuse the "airbags" current mars missions use and save on "extra" equipment/costs
o instead of "earth" a fleeze might work for certain plants to grow on
o by sucking in CO2 (first initial filling might come from a small gas bottle) slowly more and more plant mass is created and the rotting plants provide dirt
o I guess with some luck we can have a self running greenhoouse close to the equator (where seasons are pretty constant)
o insulation over night might be tricky, probably plants that can stand a bit of freezing might be better
o ofc, only plants that can spread without need of
bees would work in the beginning
o settlers could bring bees that don't build hives for the flowersIf the results are "good" we could shoot up things so big that they inflate to 10x10 or bigger greenhouses.
Probably surplus O2 can already be captured.
The basic concept can ofc be tested on earth, too.

Re:To be more precise, Amazon will collect on taxe
How did you get "the tax goes from 3% to 4%" from "the state raises taxes on car dealers by 30%?"
About your other point, sure some of the dealers may only raise prices by 29% and absorb that other 1%, but you're still missing the point
Are you really that stupid? Do you understand the difference between raising taxes on dealers "by 30%" and raising the taxes on dealers "to 30%"?
Raising taxes from 3% to 4% is a 33% increase in taxes. Raising taxes from 6% to 8% would be a 33% increase in taxes. Raising taxes from 15% to 20% would be a 33% increase in taxes. But even the biggest of those increases, assuming there's no competition and no dealer decides to take a little less profit in order to increase market share, the largest pass-through to consumers would only have to be 5%.
If you don't think only consumers pay taxes...
I never said that. Consumers often pay taxes. In the case of Amazon, the consumers would be paying the sales tax, because up to now Amazon has been able to avoid taxes on the notion that the internet is some magical places where taxes should not exist because...computers or something.
Maybe you can understand it if I explain it another way. If you have ten apples and I take ten percent of them today, and tomorrow I raise the percentage of apples I take from you by 100%, it does not mean I'm taking 100% of your apples.
Here's a nice tutorial on calculating percentage change with a calculator if you're still having trouble. If you need help turning on the calculator, you'll have to ask someone else.

The mind of the true sociopath.
Apparently you don't know what the word sociopath means. Enjoying playing rough contact sports does not make you a sociopath. In fact off the competitive field most athletes who are good at contact sports like football, MMA, wrestling, etc are about as far from being sociopaths as you can get. I've been a wrestler and a wrestling coach for about 35 years so I speak from long first hand experience. Had you bothered to speak with anyone actually involved at those sports you'll find that most of them are very calm, caring, decent people.

Re:Maybe

Blind spots don't exist because car design makes for them, blind spots exist because drivers never were taught, or never learned, how to properly set up their car.
I've had old cars and new cars, and none of them have had blind spots. Including the Miata what with it's "huge" c-pillars when top-up, an Rx-8 that people insist had huge blind spots and bad visibility, and a Mini with a small back window and fat c-pillars. All these criticisms are bogus, but people *hate* being told they're wrong.
I could spend many bytes explaining why there is no such thing as blind spots, but you'll likely dismiss my explanation. So here, spend some time educating yourself on the problem and the solution.

Re:Fantastic!
OTOH - Long division is the only manual method I use. I have a CS/Maths degree but it's so long since I did short division I would have to look up the algorithm.
I couldn't remember what short division was either... so I looked it up... and I honestly can't tell it apart from how I do long division....
http://www.wikihow.com/Do-Shor...
And equally honestly, I'm not entirely sure we should be teaching kids in gradeschool to do long division anymore either.
It seems to me that it should be simplified to estimation techniques, and actual calculations if necessary done by calculator.
Long division would then be a high school or university technique - where studying "how it works" is the emphasis rather than rote-learning the algorithm to actually use it to evaluate divisions.
Much like square roots. They used to teach kids this algorithm to find square roots. (I have an old textbook that covers it...)
http://www.homeschoolmath.net/...
They don't teach this anymore. If you need a root today, you use a calculator, until you reach high school where you start looking at quadratic roots, or the intro calculus stuff might look at newtons method.
I think we're pretty close to the long division algorithm being taught the same way. The long division algorithm is difficult to use... requires guessing each round, and really provides no real insight into division or number theory to a gradeschool kid. So its only value is they need it to do division.
Unless they have a calculator. Which at this point they all do. And only people like you or me with CS and math degrees ever even willingly attempt manually calculating 15443 / 225 nevermind 4,535,422,456 / 3,235,442 manually.
Hell, I pull out a calculator to figure out if $17.99 / 750g or $2.49 / 100 g is a better price. Practically nobody does even fairly grocery shopping calculations manually.
So maybe the long division technique should be moved as a crucial rote-technique taught in grade 3-4-5 to a number theory interest topic taught in high school or beyond.

Re:Easy! Fraud..
There aren't.
Sure, because they first thing a warehouse worker does on payday Friday is fly over to a place where the laws are different... What universe are you in?
The one where he doesn't need to.
Maybe there's a better word for it,
Because the word you so badly want to use doesn't apply, and you know it.
but the whole idea is that we in the West are a post-industrial society, and the best way to make money is to become a middleman to questionable transactions like 15% cheque cashing, or make money off the other rentiers.
Irrelevant. Both transactions involve consent, which is mutually exclusive with theft.
Both transactions produce nothing, yet transfer money up. Theft.
Claiming that the transactions "produce nothing" is a lie, because you are aware that in both cases, valuable services are being provided. You can argue that check-cashing is excessively expensive (something that I have never denied, though you have certainly pretended I did), but "is it exploitative?" is an entirely separate question than "is it theft?". There is a good argument to be made for the former question, but the answer to the latter can never be anything other than "no".
You go on to lie again, by repeating your claim that the transactions are "theft", even though your previous paragraph openly admitted that it isn't.
"A product or service is worth what its purchaser is willing to pay for it. "
If there's no choice, there's no will. A warehouse worker who can't get a bank account and has to use a sketchy place isn't going to be able to just magically go to a jurisdiction that favors him...
First, I said that in regards to the $50 salad. By attempting to change the context of my statement, you have admitted that you can't refute it.
Second, you have been shown absolute and irrefutable proof that there is a choice. Therefore, there is will, and thus consent. Consequently, no possibility of "theft". Not that you really needed that proof, as you were aware that other choices existed even prior to this post.
You have continuously wiggled your way out of the truth by using ridiculous counter-examples that apply to no poor person. You will continue to hide your obvious psychopathy and lack of empathy by pretending to be this intellectually rigorous debater when you're just a cunt.
This clumsy attempt at turning my own weapons against me is an acknowledgement of their effectiveness, and thus, that absolutely everything I have said about you is 100% accurate.
Furthermore, my "obvious psychopathy and lack of empathy" exist entirely within your imagination, and are an excuse on your part to avoid thinking about the topic by assigning to me the traits you desperately want me to have and focusing on the much easier task of assassinating (your made-up version of) my character. You would not do this if you had any confidence or ability to argue the facts.
