Magnesium chloride also works well as a dust suppressant. I used to manufacture the stuff

You’re right, I don’t support gun control. As a populace, we have a right to our arms, and any attempt to remove them must be opposed.

Some people vote rep solely for gun rights. There’s a lot of people like that

I know, that’s why I said stats from places like GVA or Everytown tend to include those shootings in their numbers.

Again, the vast majority or mass murders are committed with handguns. Those stats that say we’ve had more shootings than days bin the year always include handgun murders.Banningg assault rifles won’t noticeably decrease the number of mass shootings.

Assault rifles also constitute a miniscule percentage of gun crime, and yey they’re still the specter that legislators go for. To me that just says the people wanting to legislate away our rights aren’t informed enough to make these decisions. Thus they spout nonsense

When I see so many blue state legislatures passing nonsense gun laws like bans on “high capacity” magazines and “assault weapon” bans, I start to think that the Dems maybe don’t support gun rights.

And also twin screw polymer extruders

This comment betrays a lack of understanding around 3d printed firearms.

Of course there are your (nearly) fully plastic single shots like the Harlot that fire small calibers and dont always last long.

On the other hand, there’s plastic lowers (the only part considered a firearm and thus the onlynpart that needs to be bought through an FFL) for AR15s that use off the shelf plumbing supplies for the pressure bearing components.

The files are readily available and able to be printed on low end FDM printers with little adjustment and troubleshooting completely bypassing the need to purchase a firearm from a dealer.

From what I’ve seen of hexbear users in the wild, we wouldn’t lose much by defederating. Their shitposting and general antagonism to anyone right of Stalin adds nothing to instances beyond their own

I don’t see what being trans has to do with their shitty takes and general tankie-ness

Of what she says is true, it sounds like they really did do what they could for the man.

Episcopalians, despite often being called the Republican party at prayer, often lean pretty left actually.

I’ve lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.

Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn’t do it justice.

Beloved, his character arc has been interesting to watch

Just fulinished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. Didn’t enjoy as much as A Fire Upon the Deep, but it was still a good space opera. Some uncomfortable sex scenes though.

I use GigaRapid, andnive got no complaints so far. Good speeds, wish I had more storage space, but a lot of their options were sold out when I signed up

Yes, as long as that service is “creative” or “artistic” in nature

He reactivated the Florida State Guard. The samekingd of State Guard utilized by like 22 other states including California and New York. The FSG was created way before DeSantis came to office.

Big “if you’re innocent, you’ve got nothing to hide” energy. I can be innocent and still not want unnecessary interaction with police and appreciate my privacy
