Trapped? Hardly. Repartition, format, install. But wait, you say, grandma can't do that! You're right, of course, but grandma also can't acquire and install Ubuntu.
so while I don't personally hunt (sitting out in the cold woods for hours freezing my nuts off ain't my thing) I personally have no problem with them,k because i know without them you'll have a huge overpopulation problem very quickly.
My deer hunt story for this year:
Left the house at ~6:30 AM in the RZR (kinda a two-seat four-wheeler, this one has mirrors/signals/etc to make it street legal), drove up to the canyon (a couple miles away from the house), and proceeded up the very rocky and bumpy road. Wandered for an hour or so, down a terribly rough road, shot a deer, gutted it, loaded it on the RZR, drove it down to the house, skinned it, hung it, then processed it a couple days later, and now it's hamburger in the freezer. By ~1:30 PM we were eating burgers down at the Model-A Cafe.
I don't get what the big deal is about the deer hunt.
It's legal to swear at a cop, unless the cop interprets it as a verbal threat of sexual violence, which is illegal in many/most jurisdictions (it's assault in many/most places). If the cop is already looking for a reason to arrest you, you can bet he'll take advantage of that. You handed it to him on a platter.
Your decision to escalate the arms race, and flee at any encounter with a police officer, I can only guess is an unwise one. You'll simply give him more reasons to hunt you down, and hand him proof that you're a bad actor. Next time he won't come at you with fists and a night stick, he'll simply draw his firearm, since you'll be well-armed.
Either way, in general, most jurisdictions have some sort of statute that can be used to nail you for yelling "fuck you!" at a cop, because that constitutes a verbal threat of violence.
So don't do it.
Don't talk to cops, that's generally good advice, but don't be an asshole, either.
I know, right, I mean, there you are, minding your own business, drunk and behind the wheel, and some asshole cop has to pull you over, and get all up in your face about laws and sobriety tests and shit, and all you want is a pepsi!
Of course, if the cop had a video of me punching him that would prove that I had assaulted him.
No, that would prove you committed battery. Assault and battery are two completely different things. Punching him is battery, not assault. Assault is what you did when you yelled at him right before punching him.
Just a bit of friendly advice for everyone: If a cop swears at you DO NOT swear back at them under any circumstances.
Ah, forgot to look up what assault actually is before you went around antagonizing officers, did you? Sorry, not the cop's fault. Maybe what you thought was assault is actually battery?
I know a few cops personally. I'd say they are, on the whole, normal guys.
I'm not saying you're lying, but that makes no sense to me, as around here, none of the salesmen actually work FOR Comcast, they're all "independent contractors" and could care less what you're stealing. Same goes for the repairmen/installers.
Maybe you're really that smart. Maybe it's the Dunning-Kruger effect. I can't tell.
I don't know either. Dunning-Kruger says that it's not possible for me to know. I do know, however, that I've prepared for the day that I'm no longer able to advantageously negotiate with employers and potential employers.
So what you're saying is, I should ensalve myself to my unskilled and unproductive peers now, so that hopefully my more skilled and productive future peers will enslave themselves to me.
I don't *need* more economic power when I negotiate with my boss, because I'm very good at what I do, and I can go pretty much anywhere and do it for pretty much anyone.
People who want unions are generally the people who are at a disadvantage with respect to their employers; they want to use MY leverage for their own gain. Why, exactly, would I let them do that? What is my motivation? Why would I turn myself into just another union programmer?

If a .38 is a "monster" then there's a WHOLE WORLD of handguns you should never try. Get yourself a good .22LR and be content.
Microsoft status: It's a corporation, it exists to make money.
Linux status: Not a corporation. Not surprising it doesn't sell a product.
When was the last time you got a dividend check from Linux?
Indeed, but with fewer Martians.
Not my favorite Heinlein. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is so much better.
The idea of an ARM processor emulating an x86 processor is entertaining to me. I imagine that performance wasn't a priority?

Buying and learning to fly an ultralight is an expensive and difficult way to get shot. Much easier ways exist.

The elk hunt, though, that's a whole other thing.
I killed and cleaned my first turkey the other day, and it's dinner tomorrow. Enlightening.
Well, they strikers really showed management. They've won, and they can all rest easy in victory, now.
I'm sure, but when the cop arrested you for "assault", he was using "assault" in the way that allows him to arrest you for it.

I dunno. Many hardcore libertarians believe that there's no such thing as personal property. Had to be obscenely rich without that...
Most people who learned C never got the operator precedence rules down well, so they just put parentheses everywhere, just in case...
If you used Logitech mice, I can certainly understand why you were left unimpressed.

Sounds reasonable? I don't think so.

You're saying that if a (ruler|president|congress|whatever) just ruled "correctly", then everyone would love them?
Somehow, I doubt it.
What, exactly, is a mil-spec aluminum barrel? To be more specific, apparently, it's "sulfuric acid hardcoat anodization" because it's type III.
I guess, if you hate your anodization rubbing off, this is this pen for you!
You imagine, huh? We're all glad you have an imagination, but we like hard numbers around here, son.
