Did Zach Snyder teach you nothing about Krypton with "Man of Steel"?
I'm as pro Second Amendment as the next guy but this (much like the bump stock bullshit) is not the hill I want to die on. I know several people who got excited about these things and built them. They're easy to make and apparently, at least in a couple of cases easy to screw up. I'd rather buy my firearms from manufacturers who do this professionally and provide a warranty and a reasonable expectation of safety/quality with their product. Adding a background check and a serial number is fine. Nothing to see here.

On each side of the screen are four buttons. Second one from the top on the right side silences the thing. I haven't found on that turns the screen off but if anyone knows that trick please share.
Someone I have never heard of says that something I don't care about is now better than something else I don't care about? And he's the President of Instagram (which I also don't care about or use?) Is that it?
I won't fly. Ever. If there's something I want to do and it involves going anywhere near an airplane I find something else to do. Weddings, funerals, etc. If I can't get there by driving I won't be able to make it. You know how so many of us see a problem with something (real or perceived) and say "I'm never going to give them a dime and refuse to ever do business with them again"? Well refusing to ever fly again is the one "boycott" I have managed to make stick and at this point I wouldn't fly if I was handed a golden ticket to heaven by Jesus Christ himself and the only way to get there was a seat on an airline.
There are four buttons on each side of the screen (on the pumps I've used) and invariably the second from the top on the right side has silenced the audio. It's just a automatic response from me at this point to press it. Noticed the other day that while my car radio was playing a song it was sending me text advertisements from a law firm. Seriously who is going to read that or write the phone number being displayed while trying to drive an automobile? If everything is advertising then nothing is. If I wake up every morning with my mind set to automatically ignore everything being thrown in front of my eyes that so much as looks or sounds like advertising does any of it matter?
Nuclear needs to come on strong and the people who cry about it being too dangerous should be pushed out of the way ruthlessly. Forget about cars for a moment and just imagine a world where nearly every power plant is nuclear instead of coal or natural gas. Better yet don't forget about cars because the electricity to power your EV's will come from these reactors as well. It's a no brainer but sadly the human race is short the brains needed to safely make a huge push for nuclear power. You will always have someone cuttings costs and trying to go cheaper building something that should be incredibly sound and overbuilt for safety. It's not going to end well but yeah, you're right. Nuclear solves this if we can manage to do it correctly.
There is a positive here for all of us. I'm about to turn 60. The oldest recorded living male in my family only made it to 64 so I'm most likely not very long for this earth. We eat a lot of red meat, spend plenty of time out in the sun, and enjoy our vices far to much to give them up. I'm a dying breed and once my generation is gone you have a chance of changing things if you think that will work. I'm not interested if you can or if it will work or not. I don't give a shit. I'll be done and no, I left no children behind. Good luck with all of that.
It never stops being the next step really. No matter what appears it starts out being something you care about and then it slowly (sometimes quickly) reveals itself to be mostly bullshit. Then you get well into your 40's and everything starts working the way it always should have. "New bullshit comes out and you ignore it until it demonstrates that there's a reason you should care".
Simple. There's a little sound you can barely hear in the room. It's like a very faint dog fart noise.
Seriously.
Sadly no mod points to give.

Exactly. High incarceration rate? Look at the rest of the hemisphere. At least America is actually trying to incarcerate some of them. If you're a turd in Mexico or just about anywhere in South America you're on the street until someone kills you. Statistically this is better?
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
