    I agree. Geoffrey's Law is now set.

    As Trump likes to say "WRONG!"
    But yeah, I did not cite anything because I'm not able to do a lot of research right now. I'm in the middle east, but nearing the end of this tour!

    You ignored the part where some studies that it reduces aggression. That was cut off there at the end!

    Violent video games were disproven as a means of aggression, and in fact were repeatedly shown to reduce it when Trump's buddy, Hillary Clinton, went after them many years ago. I'm a firm 2A advocate, and voting member in the NRA, but video games are a poor scapegoat as the evidence was gathered already.

    I agree with that. I am deployed, and can use the internet to reach out to people anywhere. I experience anxiety as I am trying to make connections to make the time pass. People used to do it without that connectivity, and probably were more bored, but possibly more at peace.

    It did. I mean, it took years before gun crime reached pre-ban levels again.

    You realized they just banned videos that have anything to do with guns, right?

    are things this Republican Party are against.....

    Republican and Democrat Parties, you mean. Only person who voted against this is a Republican.

  9. I agree. I think Uber's LIDAR needs work, and that Tesla's, Google's, and Waymo's systems probably could have avoided the death (but maybe not the impact). But also, don't play chicken with cars when you're on foot.

    I agree with you. In poorly lit areas I often go ten under. If the road is well lit I'll go faster, but it's all based on conditions. I don't speed in a blizzard like some of the maniacs I live around.

    Agreed. Braking is the right thing to do, not swerving. I know most people wont do it, but that's one of many reasons I put a big brake kit on my car. It isn't even a sports car! Just a V6 Accord coupe. If I brake down to half or a quarter my speed before I hit someone they might survive, but I am not swerving.

    It is a statistically low occurrance compared to the top hundred causes of death or injury in the United States.

  14. When I landed in Qatar it was 117 with 100% humidity. I adjusted to it pretty quickly after the WTF shock. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

  15. I use MGRS all the time, but for a 1 meter area, Google's system is four characters shorter. Not that I'm promoting it, just saying it is as precise with 10 compared to 14 with MGRS.

  16. Beat me to it. I'd have upvoted you, but I haven't managed to get any points since the site went down.

  17. I do like that I can set any connection on Windows as "metered" so it wont do updates automatically. I wish iOS had that capability.

  18. noice

  19. You look absolutely radiant today

  20. The summary was poorly written, the accounts were banned mostly for copying the content and posting it as their own (think 9GAG).

  21. Surprisingly accurate, if not colorful way to put it.

  22. Well that's not a mystery, as it clearly says the government would not do any business with them. Cut off their cash cow of taxpayer money.

  23. Yeah, that's not related to it at all.

    Partisan politics is definitely a major issue, I agree. And after enough people have forgotten about which side fought for what, it sometimes comes up again but the opposite way, and the parties ignore that they flip flopped, and just still support their side.
