Have you ever purchased a firearm? In the scenario you've, there's case law specifically for you!

Aside from any background check requirements, state laws, or the fact that you are obviously selling a lethal weapon to someone who isn't even in kindergarten (reckless conduct, public endangerment, etc), you alone have demonstrably broken several laws, if not a dozen or more.

I'm not sure the five year old could even be charged with anything other than unlawful possession unless they pointed it at someone. And I think they'd stand a pretty good chance in front of a jury.

Submission + - "Analog bags" are in. Doomscrolling is out. (axios.com) 1

alternative_right writes: The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" — a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles.

"I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend.

Stop-scrolling bags fit into a broader revival of analog hobbies, led by younger people, that researchers say is less about trendy nostalgia than embracing a pre-digital, pre-AI world.

My current device hierarchy, ordered by how much I would like to use it to work on a task:

My (former) work linux laptop (I bought it, data scrubbed) (Debian)
My (former) work linux desktop (same as above) (fedora, although I'd like something in the Debian tree)
My Windows VM on my linux desktop
My current gaming laptop (windows, not federated in any way)
My current gaming desktop (same as above)
My rooted android tabled

I can't put into words how much the user experience, as someone who started on MS-DOS 5 and was a wintelbro thru 2k12r2, has changed. There were manuals, there was a promise. Do things this way, it worked. That promise is gone. Entra and MS Partner program is a hot bag of undocumented garbage that changes without notice. I am spending an hour on a simple IT problem that should take 10 minutes if I were actually able to do things I was able to do two decades ago. When they doubled down on PowerShell? I was ecstatic. I believed in that commitment...deprecating ADUC for ADAC? When ADAC was just a frontend for PS? I was a believer. But now, I'm dealing with the same problems I was a decade ago. Admittedly, PS has made great inroads, but it still isn't complete. It just feels like someone got almost there and just gave up within sight of the finish line.

I know that I am not alone in this. Why is /. pushing some Microsoft marketing link? I've not really been engaged for quite a while, but I have been here...and AFAIK this community was never really happy with MS

Because yes, they are investing significantly. I'm sure using every keystroke a Windows/O365 user types to train your AI has been very helpful in your training. You actually know when it's not another AI generating the data! What a lead that must give you in a world where data-scraping has dead-ended and you have an overwhelming, systemic market share!

My (Japanese) wife and I got married in Spain. Then we just registered the "already existing" wedding in Japan, and that's it!
It can be a romantic alternative for Japanese couples: instead of getting married before the wedding trip, get married during the trip. They have Hawaii quite close, which is a very common holiday destination for them, so it shouldn't be that difficult.

Crossovers strike a reasonable balance if you want to minimize exterior dimension but maximize interior volume - but yeah, beyond that I don't see the appeal (and want to downsize to a sedan (not much hope for getting estate / wagon in the US) as soon as our current crossover ages out (since we'd no longer need the carrying capacity by then). I cringe whenever we travel in a group and have to ask for an Uber XL in the US - more often than not you get a big SUV that has an uncomfortable ride and does not even fit that many people ... on rare occasion you get a minivan which is much better. In Europe the Mercedes V class van is quite prevalent and that is much better as people carrier - especially because the second and third rows face each other which is great when traveling a short to medium distance together.
