Very goofy and annoying for modders since if you wanted a useful name you have to first decompile Minecraft, then change all the names, and then when you compile change all references to said names in your code back to their actual obfuscated nonsense.

I expect this is what things like Forge were handling, right?

And where do you plan to live while you amass this money…?

Besides which, law enforcement is not legally justified in shooting you damn near no matter what you do. A cop is not a court of law. A cop is not a jury and judge. A cop is not an executioner. Their legal jurisdiction extends to getting you in front of a courtroom and nothing else.

“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence.

“Take the guns first, go through due process second,”

I got mine at 24.

My parents flat refused to allow me to get a driver’s license, I assume because it would have given me the freedom to leave their house under my own power. I didn’t end up getting one until after I went to and came back from college.

I learned from a driving school, since my parents seemed uninterested in teaching me.

The experience of trying to hold a job or get to and from class between the ages of 18-24 is one of the primary experiences driving me to the idea that American public transportation sucks absolute asshole and desperately needs improvement. It used to take me two and a half hours to get to work. My work was a 15 minute drive from my house, but since my wonderful father refused to drive me to and from work, I would have to take a bus all the way across town to the central station and then hop another bus to take me all the way back across town to damn near the same place I got picked up at.

I have no idea why people are just taking those numbers at face value.

Any Americans in this thread, have any of you ever been polled about anything regarding any of this? I know I sure haven’t. I wish they would poll me, I got an awful lot of opinions for these mfers.

Trump and his associated hangers-on have a long and storied history of pulling numbers directly out of their asses. It perplexes me that anyone takes anything the government says right now at face value.

Would you say the same about all Russians? That all Russians are the enemy and deserve death because their leader Putin is a warmonger?

Tasty barely has anything to do with it, they should stop being the most common animal on the planet by like a factor of 8.

The total biomass of Earth’s ant population is estimated at around 12 megatons, that’s a fucking lot. I’m told this exceeds the total combined biomass of all wild birds and non-human mammals, and matches about 20% of total human biomass.

If you put all the creatures of the Earth in a bag and pulled one out at random, you’re about 50% likely to pull an ant.

Reminds me of a joke I heard a few years ago.

The “Tech Enthusiast” : My whole home is rigged up with smart systems! I can control my AC and my lights from my phone from 1,000 miles away!

The Tech Engineer : the most recent piece of equipment I own in my home is a printer from 2003 and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

Somebody else already posted Andy Weir’s “The Egg” in this comment section so I’ll just pull this excerpt from it instead of linking the whole thing again.

“Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It’s like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it’s hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you’ve gained all the experiences it had.

“You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you’d start remembering everything. But there’s no point to doing that between each life.”

Some of the very best programmers I’ve ever met were self taught, don’t let your dreams be memes

He’s already been successfully impeached twice. Only president in American history to ever manage to rack up two of them, in fact.

Unfortunately, once successfully impeached, it is up to Congress and the Supreme Court to then do something about it.

RIP Overton Window, we hardly knew ye

Republicans have been trying to ban video games for decades

American servicemembers, most likely

I think they definitely could, you just won’t get one from Tesla because that doesn’t match their brand image.

The Slate trucks seemed like something that was pursuing this idea.

You may be correct. Unfortunately all I can find are statistics about electric cars vs gas car fires. It is a known fact however that several Model S EV’s have caught fire while just sitting there parked, I haven’t heard of that from any other manufacturer but I haven’t heard all news there is to hear.

It’s not actually that over the top, Tesla beats the Ford Pinto in percentage of fire-based deaths, a car most well known for catching fire.

control and/or cut it’s data connection to Tesla

To my knowledge you can’t, at least without a level of rewriting the car’s code that you’ll effectively be writing the whole car from scratch. Just buy a different brand, literally any other brand of electric car.

Since it’s used, I’m not giving Musk any money,

The moment you need any replacement parts you’re giving Musk money. Tesla does not provide repair parts to repair shops. I work at a repair shop, ask me how I know. If you call them and request a part they will tell you to bring the car to them and then hang up on you, so, hope your car never needs maintenance because it isn’t getting any outside of a Tesla shop.

Even if we could get parts we still refuse service on Teslas at my shop because they’re such a liability risk.

Well this particular guy was entrapped and arrested on false pretenses. He didn’t know ICE was at the door.

Otherwise, though, yeah agreed. If masked assailants come to my home with no badge and no warrant they are going to be considered home invaders and will be treated accordingly. Identify yourself or you will be shot.
