One of my close relatives has crohn's and a blockage would be painful dangerous and expensive. I assume a laxative won't work as this is the small intestine but are you drinking a lot of fluids or trying castor oil in case that may help lubricate the stuck pillcam ?

I think what Bruce is saying is that if the original software is distributed under GPL the modifications must be distributed under something that is compatible with the GPL and that any statements added to the license cannot take away rights to redistribution guaranteed under the GPL. I.e a modification based on GPL published source has to be GPL compatible.

Sci fi which actually did race right - Serenity Firefly. The pale white males n females were conversing and cursing in Mandarin . that did not feel at all out of place ... That is a way better embracing of a multicultural backdrop than any token person of color.

You sir/Madam are a person of taste ! I love your author choices !

maybe the simplest solution is the one taken by the wachowski brothers err sisters :) Ticking two boxes at once :)

The bigger question is should 2 actually depend on 1 ? It certainly makes sense that the people with the firearms be part of a well trained militia or at least have training . It is clear that the arms that the people bear are not to commit acts of violence against other law abiding citizens but as a means to be eligible to be a part of a well regulated militia. So wouldn't it make better sense to have the right to bear arms have some relation to the willingness or ability to service in a militia ? Just ensuring that everyone who wants a gun has to participate in community service might do good for the mental state of the people buying those guns.

so again , make it compulsory for gun owners to take part in cop ridealongs and neighbourhood watch activities. this will give officers trained in the use of firearms a chance to evaluate them.

any weapon can be used to kill... recently in Manchester a 17 year old who had a suicide letter and a knife was put away. he didn't even have an assault weapon. so if you ban assault weapons why can't someone do as much damage with a revolver and speed loaders ? It would probably be more accurate than an assault weapon on fully or semi automatic any way .... The point is banning a particular kind of weapon is only one step and may not be a useful one... having a proper registry of arms that is publicly available and having the need for people who own arms to prove that they are responsible enough to own them might be a better step. I.e compulsory registration, compulsory certification and some measure to ensure that such people have the right attitude to own a firearm - for example make it a requirement for anyone with a registered handgun to take part in a cop ride along at least once every six months.

Could be a us anti Eve's dropping device that had unfortunate side effects. The Dumbo's who deployed it couldn't acknowledge they screwed up without confirming the existence of the devices

The US constitutution sucks if discrimination on the grounds of sexual preference is not unconstitutional.
From the ACLU

Q.Does the U.S. Constitution protect transgender people from discrimination?
A.
Although the Supreme Court has never considered this question, we think the answer is yes. It’s important to remember, however, that constitutional protections only cover discrimination or mistreatment by the government, not by private businesses or individuals.

A few federal courts have ruled that the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law bars the government from discriminating against people based on their transgender status or gender transition. For example, a federal appeals court in 2011 ruled in favor of a transgender woman whose boss fired her from her state government job because he was uncomfortable with her gender transition. The court ruled that “discrimination against a transgender individual because of her gender nonconformity is sex discrimination, whether it’s described as being on the basis of sex or gender.” However, how courts view constitutional equality protections for transgender people is an area of the law that’s still evolving.

At the ACLU, we believe that the First Amendment, which bars the government from censoring speech or expression, should also protect individuals’ right to wear clothes or groom themselves in ways that express their personal sense of gender. There aren’t a lot of court decisions on this yet, but we hope eventually to see courts rule that gender expression is protected by the First Amendment. We also believe that the rights to “liberty,” “privacy,” and “autonomy” courts have found to be protected under the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution should extend to transgender people’s ability to make decisions about self-expression, medical care, and more, but there isn’t much law on that issue yet either.

Shit burns - that means there are unspent calories in your shit also.

When they have these sales they invariably jack up the prices before hand. even offline shops seem to be following ths trend.

robots going down the street killing people - in tesla auto drive machines that suddenly decide humans are crunchies perhaps :)

  they don't need guns to be killing people on the streets.
