Your scenario presumes the cat is alive *or* dead.
I thought this too for a long time, it's only since I recently started reading more on quantum mechanics and the truly baffling experiments that have been done, that I started to understand (or is that, started to confuse) more. In fact, the metaphorical cat is both dead and alive at the same time. It is not in an unknow-but-determined state already. Observing it does not show that it was already dead or already alive. Observing it makes it fall into one of those states.
I actually use hitherto un-invented methods to inscribe my messages into the hydrogen protons in a molecule of water. I know there is some statistic about how every molecule of water has been everywhere on the planet, so data loss statistics are very good.
Latency can be a bitch sometimes, especially if it gets stuck in a glacier for a few million years.
Now, if they manage to crack that fusion thing, my packet loss will go through the floor:(
Give me another couple of months (Saving up for my bottle of Argon) and I can test that theory out. I have never laid a weld in my life and once I have that gas bottle, I will be trying my hand at self-taught TIG welding:)
I'm quietly confident that I will pick it up quickly.
To expand on this. I am going to be pissed off if I ever need to be licenced to do things like: DIY 3D printing, home electronics, DIY (Already pissed off with some licencing requirements there), car DIY, etc etc etc.
OK, I think I am starting to understand the mentality now and where you are coming from.
But do the horrendous side effects of having gun ubiquity not change your stance on it, even a little bit?
I am all for doing what I want when I want as long as I am not harming others, but when the subject at hand becomes an epidemic problem in the hands of the unwashed masses, I accept that said thing needs to be regulated.
There are some fringe areas that I see regulation poking its head into in the near future and it's quite frankly pissing me off. But if it's genuinely warranted then I will just have to humbly accept it and get on with life.
I could be a bit more pro not-need-gun-and-ammo-licencing if the gun issues were more of a fringe thing than they are in that country.
Thanks for giving me insight into your reasoning rather than trying to troll me:)
I'm curious about this mentality. Firstly, I must put forward that I am making the following assumption - You will claim that you need your firearms as self defense (This seems to be the typical pro-gun reasoning for needing firearms), or you like to shoot for recreational or hunting purposes.
If any of the above were the case, then what would be wrong with needing a licence? What, exactly, are you trying to hide? The way I see it, if you were going to use your firearm for any of them, then you would not have a problem with it being registered.
Unless you use your firearm for more questionable activities (muggings.killing sprees,burglary) in which case a rational person would be GLAD of regulation regarding the sale of ammunition?
So tell me, what *do* you use your guns for and why are you so pleased that you don't need a licence to do so? I am just curious as I do not understand.

Thank you.

"But that makes no sense"
Yep, and it's still hurting my head too...
Of course, this might change all that...
And hello, very similar UID person.
I use a post-it-note.
But foundations still slide off their houses.. or something :)

I was disappointed by the whales. I thought should have been a whale and a bowl of Petunias.

Better than having a backseat toilet *and* a broken window...

I have zero interest in stick welding either.
And what country, may I ask, were YOU in at the time, 'Eric the 2nd'.
Germany.
I thought it was called 'being a parent'.
Ugh...

Then, again, if that is your usage case, I don't see the harm in having them registered.
For the greater good and all that :)
Because communication is the same thing as a gun. Right.
I assume then that you have also have issue with needing a driving licence?

I keep seeing people say this, but I am 5'6" and weigh about 160lb. I wear regular jeans and dockers trousers and my Nexus 7 fits JUST FINE.
