You're describing the current situation. The GP was describing what should be the case. If the police's job were to protect the public, there'd be no problem with a police state. In practice however, as soon as you have a police state, the police no longer have a duty to protect the public.
The courts have repeated ruled that the police have no duty to protect the public. They may even decline to allow the the public to protect themselves while not protecting them.
On the contrary - the liberal and PC education/brainwashing system is churning out sociopaths like you.
Here's a clue from a responsible adult - if you go into the world and treat the police like an enemy, or teach your kids the same - you are going to be in for a very rough time. Not because of the police - because of your own actions and statements.
So Daniel Shaver was just asking for it. Now I understand.
The National Guard is a well-regulated armed body, but it sure isn't what the writers of the constitution meant by a well-regulated militia.
The National Guard is what they meant by select militia. With the way state authorized law enforcement is armed and behaves today, it is select militia as well.
You might want to read a bit more in depth on that national firearms act you referenced. Congress passed that as a tax which was thought to make machine guns prohibitively expensive to regular folks of the time, because they knew the Supreme Court of the would have easily shot down a complete ban of machine guns.
If you want to ban military like arms, better get on repealing that pesky 2A. Careful, there be dragons.
The NFA was implemented as a tax because they did not know at that time that the interstate commerce clause could be used to do the same thing. It is funny how prohibition of alcohol required a constitutional amendment but prohibition of drugs which do not cross state lines does not.
Court decisions since then point to how the NFA may be used to ban firearms. Implement a tax and then refuse to collect it. Since the tax is never processed or collected, there is no standing to challenge it in court.
Not quite. If you inject a 50hz signal into a 49.8hz signal youâ(TM)ll get constructive and deconstructive wave patterns but those harmonics will be treated out of the transmission line as substation. And you can say inject voltage or current depending on how the line is setup it all will help calculate power.
They cannot actually do that. The alternators are all synchronous so the phase may be adjusted but short of a catastrophic failure which will result in disconnection, they all operate at the same frequency with phase differences depending on supplied reactive power.
Except that is not how it works. Processors constantly scale their performance based on load. If you slow down a processor to 50% speed, a task will just just run 2x as slow and keep the processor active longer, therefore using more power than if it just ran at 100% speed. Slowing down 50% does not draw 50% less power, it might draw 10% less power.
Slowing down a processor will end up using more power in the long run and further reduce battery life.
If dynamic voltage scaling is used, then power is greater than proportional to frequency. Further, higher power also results in higher operating temperature increasing the static power from leakage. So efficiency is lower even though the computation time is shorter.
well... if the research papers weren't in PAYWALLED journals then it would be possible for people to get at them and read them, wouldn't it? *sigh*...
This happens all the time with me. I either follow citations to papers which are unavailable due to being locked behind an exclusive paywall (or for other reasons are just unavailable) or exclude paywalled citations in my own articles in favor of ones which are at least nominally available through other means. Sometimes this results in me reinventing the wheel so to speak but that is the way it goes.
If the authors of those papers wanted them cited, then they would have made them more easily available. My conclusion is that they and the people who hold the copyright on those papers do not *want* them to be cited and I am happy to oblige them. Let them cite among themselves.

At some point they gave thought to the lack of restraints. In ST:TMP, the arms on Kirk's chair fold down automatically to grab his legs during the wormhole scene.
i worked in the oil field for a few years and yeah, you dont even have to look at the arc of a welder's work, it just has to be exposed to your eye from a few yards away and you dont notice it until after you went to bed that night, you wake up in the middle of the night feeling like your eyes have had sand rubbed in them
That is a different problem. Traveling across a landscape covered in snow or spending all day outdoors without shielding your eyes can cause the same thing. Extended exposure to UV can sunburn the sclera (outside part of the eye) yielding the sandpaper feeling.
Heat pumps have a sharp fall-off in efficiency outside of their designed temp range. I have a heat pump based HVAC and in the coldest days of winter it is unable to heat the house, because the outside air is the same temp or colder than the evaporator coil temp, leading to liquid freon hitting the compressor. Since that is a BadThing(tm) the heat pump shuts off. Resistive heaters (labeled as supplemental heat on the thermostat) then kick on. At that point mining BTC is no different from an efficiency standpoint.
Now, there are still better ways to heat, in my case I fire up the wood burning stove and use that, but still, heat pumps are not the be all end all in wide swing climates (I have the opposite problem in the hottest summer days, unable to condense the vapor back to a liquid very well).
I had to try explaining this to my mother when we lived in an all electric house in southern California during a particularly harsh winter where the heat pump was essentially useless. "What do you mean the heat pump is useless when it is cold outside?"
That's the only appropriate response to this. They can't 'force' anything. If they could, then the entire premise behind what the United States was founded on and ostensibly stands on becomes invalid.
Force? Please. They call it mandatory voluntary cooperation now.
Congress hasn't passed an act directing you to "ask" companies to embed concealed defects into their products that you sell to the people, therefore, you doing so is an ABUSE.
They seem to be arguing some other authority but congress did pass such an act:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Certainly the modern definition of 'papers' extends to our data stored on remote servers and 'home' extends to the access of that data.
That only extends to persons, houses, papers, and effects which existed at the time it was ratified.

All those good guys with a gun need to find a good way to use them.
And risk being shot by a blue guy with a gun? No thanks.

This seems stupidly wasteful. Why not run a small water electrolysis plant? Or an alumina smelter. Something.
In some places they do that but industrial processes are only economical on a large scale.

That and they've held him for a year without trial
In all these cases it is the defendant (and their lawyers) who must agree the right to a speedy trial be waived.
No, not all of them and the courts support various ways to coerce the defendant into giving up their rights.

There's absolutely no sane reason why a current, valid prescription should be required when getting glasses or contacts manufactured.
Quibble: A recent prescription is NOT required for glasses. Only contacts.
A recent prescription has been required every time that I have gotten glasses. In some cases, the prescription must be from the same place.

I believe it's actually ECC RAM, which is much more expensive than the conventional desktop variety.
The price premium for ECC RAM is insignificant unless someone like Intel uses it for market segmentation which of course they do.
This was the subject of a 1985 issue of BYTE! magazine that asked what happens when real-time video streams cannot even be trusted.
What happens? The government can selectively prosecute anybody.
Gmail rewrites your img tags to point to a google server.
Do you mean in the gmail web client? Emails that I fetch to my local client do not have rewritten image tags.
When a recipient opens the email, the tracking client recognizes that pixel has been downloaded, as well as where and on what device.
Huh? I open hundreds of emails a day and my email client does not fetch embedded objects unless I specifically ask it to.
Is this the same NIST which cooperated with the NSA to subvert cryptographic standards for decades? Yea, no thanks.

If natural gas furnaces are good, why not just leave the heat pumps in place, and have the furnaces kick in once it drops below a certain temperature?
And pay for both when most of the time only one will be needed?

They are even slower.

No, you have not missed anything. That is basically how Clipper worked.
