That's a completely separate section of law, and it merely says that threatening to use deadly force by brandishing a weapon, is not deadly force. That does not change the fact that brandishing a weapon is a crime in Texas, nor does it change the myriad of other laws in other states and jurisdictions.
The definition of 'brandishing' varies from state to state in the USA.
In Texas (the last state I noticed being mentioned), the closest thing to 'brandishing' is Disorderly Conduct: Sec. 42.01 DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly: (8) displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm; http://www.statutes.legis.stat...
So, you could be charged with that crime even if you were brandishing your firearm in a legitimate defensive situation, and, unlike some of the other disorderly conduct charges, there's no defense to prosecution carved out to protect those who took this action because of a fear of bodily injury.

It seems we could all benefit from being slower to shoot our mouths off.
Not usually, although some unions have affiliate memberships. Most require that you belong to the bargaining unit, or are otherwise tied to the bargaining unit (like being retired). Many have certifications, licenses or degrees that you must possess in order to join.
Someone showed me this on WhatsApp, I thought. Samsung's default messenger does it. I've started using Textra to do it. And I was just told that Facebook messenger does it.
So, Google created a brand new app with tons of fancy features, but it lacks the basic functionality that most other modern text messaging apps have to schedule messages to be sent at a later time/date?
But the bad guys didn’t exactly take this innovation laying down; rather, they responded with their own innovations. What they came up with is known as the “crypting” service, a service that has spawned an entire industry that I would argue is one of the most bustling and lucrative in the cybercrime underground today.
Put simply, a crypting service takes a bad guy’s piece of malware and scans it against all of the available antivirus tools on the market today — to see how many of them detect the code as malicious. The service then runs some custom encryption routines to obfuscate the malware so that it hardly resembles the piece of code that was detected as bad by most of the tools out there. And it repeats this scanning and crypting process in an iterative fashion until the malware is found to be completely undetectable by all of the antivirus tools on the market.
No, most voters have values that differ from yours. A libertarian (of whatever case) is an extremist.
A libertarian is an extremist? A libertarian is simply someone who is socially liberal and fiscally conservative. Nothing extreme there. In fact, most of the people I talk to admit to leaning libertarian once it's explained, but they feel that the two parties entrenched in US politics are too powerful to defeat.
I'd like to know what makes you think that libertarians are extremists.
If you have a charger that only outputs 1Ah, why do you still have it? Does it output 1Ah every time you plug it in, or just the one time? Either way, end that madness and get a decent 2A charger: http://www.thomasdistributing....
I've thrown money at crowdfunding projects simply because they look cool and I'd like to see them succeed. Some of them do (someday, when I have land, I'll get a Flow Hive). Some of them don't (the Human Resources game looked cool, but, alas, it was not to be).
The foolishness is expecting every single crowdfunded project to succeed.
You can buy Cheerwine at grocery stores in Texas, but it's the glass bottled, boutique six-packs, just like the Dr. Pepper made with real sugar (AKA "Dublin Dr. Pepper"). You can also find the same six-packs at most, if not all, Cracker Barrel restaurants.
Damn, never noticed that it was gone. That sucks. Does Slashdot think they can compete without a niche audience? What's the point of doing this and muddying their target demographic?
I had a slide crack on my M9. It wasn't very reassuring when I turned it in to the armory and the armorer showed me dozens of other cracked slides in our little armory. Whether or not they fixed that defect, that concerned me to the point that I'll never carry a Beretta of that design (M9, 92, 96, whatever).
Sig and Glock are both known for having the exact problem outlined in TFS. Glock has improved with their latest generation of pistols, but both gunmakers are known for large grips.
And gun preferences are a lot like car/truck preferences. You'll find a lot of Ford vs. Chevy claims of superiority that are based on zero facts whatsoever. There are plenty of other fine service pistols out there. HK makes a fine pistol (actually my favorite), although pricey. Smith and Wesson's M&P has dominated US law enforcement lately. Springfield's XD is being called the gun that "out-glocks the Glock" due to it's impressive reliability, light weight, and low cost.
Nook does still have an E-ink reader, and, IMO, it's the best bang for your buck unless you're already heavily invested in Amazon's proprietary library.

Please. Don't.
Your reading comprehension needs some work. It explicitly states that it is only NOT deadly force. Your cite makes no mention of disorderly conduct.
Further, if you research Texas case law, I think you'll find that the law is defined even more clearly than the statute would make it seem.

When did we start talking about sexual preference? I thought we were talking about someone's sex or gender?

I've don't think I've ever seen anyone park at the pump while going inside to sit down and eat.
Run in to grab something to eat/drink? Sure.
Go in for over 20 minutes? Only jerks would do that.

It's not simply "misleading," it's downright incorrect. This is the type of libel that could result in legal consequences.
I use it almost daily for reminders. Calendar works to remind yourself, but not to remind others.
Are you almost finished with that project? - Boss schedule's text to subordinate for next Thursday.
Did you stop and pick up the milk? - Wife schedules text to husband for 5:30pm

No, thanks.

Not being a linux guy, there's a bit of a learning curve when I set it up, but now that it's running, it's pretty amazing.
If you're unfamiliar with unRAID, it's pretty slick. I no longer worry about drives failing, or running out of space.
Clients are Plex apps on phones and tablets. TV's either have Roku or Amazon FireTV sets running Plex apps.
Plays everything. Looks great. Not sure what else you'd want.

The specs are very similar to the latest Kindle, except the Nook supports the EPUB open format, while Kindle has their proprietary format of MOBI.
Do either of those generate strong passwords, track password changes, and keep encrypted form fills?
