Thank you for that

The more I learn about the concessions made to the southern slave owners I wish the founders hadn’t tried so hard to include them in the union. The north and the south were so different it seems like it would be as doomed to failure as jamming all the Balkan states into a single country.

Every time Texas threatens to secede and doesn’t I wish we had the choice to vote them out so they could see just how badly they are not the hot shit they think they are.

The problem with a simple majority is it allows large states to completely dominate less populated states.

We are a republic, kind of like how the UK is a union of (at least) four countries each with its own government. We are 50 states each with its own government and the constitutional right to make it’s own laws about matters not specifically delegated to the federal government (see the abortion rights debate).

The founding fathers established the electoral college as a compromise between electing the president in a vote by Congress and a popular vote. I would take an amendment to the constitution to get rid of it.

The Glock has three safeties designed to prevent the weapon from firing if the trigger hasn’t been pulled correctly. One of these prevents the trigger from moving backwards unless it is depressed inside the trigger guard. You clearly know all this.

The term you’re looking for is “affirmative safety”, one type of which would be the common switch on the side of the frame that prevents the trigger from being pulled until it is disengaged in an action distinct from pulling the trigger. The Glock does not have an affirmative safety.

That isn’t good for the tree

The android build system used that limitation of Windows to prevent android from being built on Windows. They purposely had directories with the same name but different capitalization.

I guess I could be wrong, but I can’t be assed to spend two minutes rereading the article. I’ll just continue to pontificate from my position of misinformation

there is absolutely no difference between a religion and a cult

OMG, you’re starting to get it!

My email is my last name dot com. I’ve had it for 28 years.

Should that guitar when have steel strings? I’ve never seen a bridge like that on a guitar that wasn’t built for nylon strings.

Sam Kinison reference. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Should proofread your posts

No, we call jam jam. Jelly is made purely of the juice of a fruit or berry, thickened with pectin and with added sugar. If you use the whole fruit smooshed up but with chunks we call it preserves. We also call marmalade marmalade. It’s made primarily of the skin of citrus fruit, but you probably know that

They got rid of the desktop app.

Also, with shouldn’t have your seeds. They’re encrypted before they are transmitted to their servers and only decrypted on the device.

It did, and he didn’t

You can, though. But not through their app. Someone reverse engineered their protocol and wrote a program that connects like a new client, which you then approve, and it dumps all your random seeds into a text file. I then put them all into Keepass.

Edit: Unfortunately, the author has deprecated the project as Authy has added some attestations to their API, seemingly for this exact issue. https://github.com/alexzorin/authy?tab=readme-ov-file

Strange. Doesn’t the second amendment guarantee our right to keep and bear arms? But apparently the cops are allowed to murder us for it.

I wonder when it will be okay for them to kill us for exercising free speech.

Elm or mutt? Say pine and I’ll die

Why a spoon, cousin?

I don’t understand. That’s essentially where I learned Fedora from. Where did you learn to use Windows?

That’s how I grow my own chickens
