I just find the concept strange, having to apply for some kind of permit or license to buy anything.....
I've never had to apply for a license or register to own any firearm I've ever had.
I've bought most of mine used from private individuals, so there is actually no govt. (state or fed) record that I've ever had any guns for the most part.
I don't see what business it is for the govt to know if I have a gun(s) or not...as long as I'm a law abiding citizen, why do they need to know?
So it's OK to kill women and children, provided they're dark skinned, far away, and can't shoot back?
Well, if they're aiding and abetting terrorists, sure.
The kids are likely terrorist kids....TIT so to speak (terrorists in training), so sure....wipe'em out.
If they don't wanna to be killed to...quit letting the terrorists try to shield themselves with you.
At some point, a smart innocent...would realize that putting a lot of space between himself and a terrorist would enhance his survival changes a great deal over there, eh?
Color has nothing to do with it.....terrorist/criminal action does.
How many children have they killed accidentally with drones over there? And they wonder why the US is losing what little respect they ever had.
Well, if they were housing terrorists there, I would guess you could assume they were terrorist children...little terrorists in training so to speak, and you're basically getting rid of them too.
Kinda like pesticides...killing the fleas AND their eggs.....?
You take something as overwhelmingly popular as drone strikes on terrorists and then filter out the women by conducting the polling with a game machine... I think that pretty much eliminates any mystery. There's a push in the press to show the horror of drone strikes on civilian populations, but I think to the average Joe it is hard to tell how the horror of drone strikes is any worse than the horror of a Seal raid, conventional bomb, or cruise missile.
There also may be some thought given to the effect of..."well, if they weren't housing terrorists, they wouldn't get killed along with them."
I mean...if your hiding and housing terrorists...being an accessory to terrorism, well, that collateral damage isn't going to get a lot of sympathy.
Yeah...but isn't it mucheasier to buy a dog over there to hunt with, than a gun?
Might have something to do with it....I thought I read it pretty much took tons of paperwork, time, and $$ to get some kind of license to even own a gun before you even buy one...
Sounds like you could ditch the time and effort and just buy a dog to hunt with....making life in the UK much easier?
Sadly I "need" to use FB to organise and keep up with other people. I'd rather in not be on FB; but I can't stop the 300 people I network with from using it.
I don't get this....did everyone suddenly quite having a phone? Suddenly no more email?
Between those two, and the local friends face to face...I have NO problem interacting with the people I interact with...especially those I really care about and interact with on pretty much a daily to weekly basis...
But still overall safety? I can't think it is any worse.
Yet, you rarely seem to see neighborhoods of kids, playing outside during the summer, skateboarding, kill the man with the ball in someones front yard...etc.
When I was a kid, especially in summer, I left the house early...and maybe came home for lunch (or ate at a friends house, we moved around who ate with where, everyone's mom and dad was everyone's mom and dad)...and didn't generally come home till dinner, and after dinner would run around till dark.
I heard the other day, about a lady who's kids were riding scooters in a neighborhood cul-de-sac, in front of their house, with fucking HELMETS on...the Mom got arrested because she was reported by neighbors (who had an ax to grind) that she had them out there unsupervised.
I mean..really? Not only was she actually there watching them....and got arrested even after explaining that...
Lord, is that the way it is today?
I guess my folks would have been picked up LONG ago by the law and me with child services for all I did unsupervised most days....sheesh.
When, exactly, did it become against the law for kids to be kids, and parents able (and willing) to let them?
No wonder all these little fuckwits seem so lost and dependent when you see them out finally on their own...(not everyone, but man, more than you saw in my day).
I was actually talking to my Mom the other day...laughing about when I was about 2-3yrs..I wandered off from her, and got lost in the dept store...and they had to call over the intercom for her to get me.
She said I never would wander off after that, and if I acted bad, she would tell me she was leaving..and I'd cry and promise to act right..etc.
But, not long after that, I'd guess when I was about 1st grade...when we'd go to the mall, she'd leave me in the toy section or the book section and I'd be happy there till she was done. A couple years later, she'd let me wander the mall to look at the book stores, etc......
I can't believe things are that much more dangerous now, are there? I often wonder, instead of more 'craziees' out there...if it is just more sensationally reported due to needing to fill up 24/7 news?
They can air the original versions in TV syndication, just not in any home distributions or Internet uses. I'm hoping for it to get picked up by a no-name cable channel, and I'll capture them all myself.
If I recall, that isn't actually true, sadly.
I think maybe WGN, a long time ago...still had rights to show the mostly original episodes with original music (although I think they had been cut in content for time for more commercials, but not for copyright)..but I believe that too expired quite awhile back.
I've seen in recent years (within the past 7 years or so, I think Nick and night had them) along with other channels...and they ALL had the fake, overdubbed music, or had whole actual scenes taken out rather than overdub them with cheap music.
Sad, one of my favorite shows of all time.
I found awhile back...on USENET, someone has posted digital copies from VHS with pretty much all of the episodes that appeared to be largely intact...I got copies of some of them.
If I had the time, I'd do a 'labor of love' project...get the DVD's, and mix them with old copies to replace entire cut scenes...and then dub the original music back in....I actually OWN most of the soundtrack to the original as broadcast WKRP's....
I'd never heard of the guy before, but I was a bit surprised to see how well he did on that sketch, and many others.
I was also pleasantly surprised to hear him and his band perform...it has been a long time since I've seen a band on SNL, not lip sync, actually sing with real vocal singing (not just talking or yelling), and to see people actually playing instruments WHILE actually be entertaining dancing around, etc.
This was the first performance in years that I did NOT have to fast forward through on my DVR.
They were actually musical, and entertaining....nice to see that again for a change.
How would this be applied to Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat Sings The Hits sketch? I mean, he kinda gets the words right, except in a heavily exaggerated accent.
It's for home use. That's the market they are going for. The have the business license for Office already tied up.
But is that legal? How enforcable is that?
I mean...I have a surface, I use Word to write a song for my friend Sally and send it to her. Legal
Sally likes the song, and I take and submit same Word version of the song to a music publisher who pays me $1Million dollars....not legal and I could be sued or legally taken to court by MS for this?
Its too bad they still made it so hard for the 'little guy' to raise cash.
I'd much prefer to make it looser, with lower limits of money involved...and let there be caveot emptor....
If someone is too stupid to research and investigate...then let them lose some money...but it shouldn't prevent honest folks that want to raise a bit of money to start,and potentially have the $1 million idea that makes early investors money too....
For low limits investment, I'd rather err on the side of risk.
Sure...one bad thing at a concert happened...and they ruin it for everyone else.
And, if the idiot promoters/mgmt hadn't done the stupid 'open one door'....it wouldn't have happened.
If it was so inherently dangerous....we'd have had dead long before that Who concert...I went to tons of open seating concerts growing up..never a problem.
Because the biggest return you can get is a refund on your ticket purchase, it's not an "investment". If you could get back more if the event was a big success, it would be a public offering of a security. There are some short form public offering arrangements available under SEC rules, but you still have to file a basic offering statement and financial statements.
"Crowdfunding" schemes have to be careful of this. If the pitch is that you can make money, it's a securities offering. If the pitch is that you get a product if some funding threshold is reached, the Mail Order Rule applies and there has to be a refund, without your asking for it, if the product isn't delivered by the stated date, or 30 days if not stated. If the pitch is that you're donating as a charity, the laws about charity frauds apply.
Wasn't there a law passed recently....I think it was attached to that 'jobs' bill that passed earlier this year.....but I think that basically relaxed the rules a GREAT DEAL on doing basically just what you mentioned.
I thought it essentially made it legal for a Kickstarter type site, to now offer not only 'prizes' etc...but could legally offer $$ returns on investments by individuals that plunk down some money, and not have to worry about all the SEC filings, etc....
I would think that doing that with this concert thing would fall into that category?
In the push to make themselves more & more "family friendly" concert venues have sucked all the fun out of going to rock concerts.
Tell me about it...if someone lights up something...lately I've seen security swarm towards them...I mean, really?
And strangely enough in these twisted times...you'll be better off if you lit joint rather than a regular cigarette. They my confiscat the former, but will come near beating you and ejecting you for simply lighting up a Camel.
:(
I guess on the positive side...at least they sell alcohol at concerts now, but so $$. Used to be much better sneaking in a pint of something....
Ahh...and the good old days before assigned fucking seating....
If you could make note of it...or maybe make it something that is part of the 'behind the scenes', maybe you could do the color grading as an instructional type series and go into detail possibly sponsored in conjunction with Black Magic.
Resolve 9 is SO new..there really isn't much info out there on using it in depth...
And if you went into it showing how it worked roundtripping with your editing tools (I'm using FCPX....if you're reading this..what are you using for editiing?).
Just saying, it would be VERY helpful to the community if we could see in detail how the color correction and other PP was done, and you might could get the companies behind the tools to help sponsor this. There is a need and it might help you kill two birds with one stone so to speak...?
I'm a bit confused on what the tax has to do with the data caps?
I sympathize that the caps are too low, but what does that have to do with tariffs? Is the govt not only taxing the 4G connection, but regulating the cap amounts too with said taxes being levied?
I'm eyeing a new CPU/mobo/RAM combo this winter because 4G of memory just isn't enough anymore. It's a shame - my CPU and the rest of my system are just fine.
Well, it's not like you have to throw the old one out...repurpose it into a web or email server...or set it up as a router....use it to run a freeNAS set up (you'll need more RAM tho)....

The general public is stupid.
Have you ever worked facing the general public or listened to them in interviews with the so called "man in the street" interviews?
The general publis is stupid.
God help you if you've worked a public facing job...it is downright scary.
I sympathize that the caps are too low, but what does that have to do with tariffs? Is the govt not only taxing the 4G connection, but regulating the cap amounts too with said taxes being levied?
