Until they start blocking VPNs like other streaming services? Piracy is a solution that doesn't end up a cat and mouse game. Sounds like op is paying for the content but it's regio…

You didn't have to convert voltages all the time for things you did in a car until relatively recently. All the typical 12V stuff could've run at 48V no problem. By the time we wan…

Your maneuvering system just needs to be able to get tanks spinning.

Why cut it in half? Spray (or Mylar) on the outside.

A sudden discontinuity like that but continuing the same curve and jumping back... that's equipment malfunction 99% of the time.

> It's a travesty how this has been handled. Massively rich corporations deflecting blame, lying to the public, and trying to cover up their own malfeasance in the pursuit of relen…

eh poor example imo; that's guaranteed by the Constitution, not legislation.

Backing this up- I see that complaint all the time about US education, but I know me and all my peers had this impressed on us throughout our (public) schooling. People just don't …

Are you kidding me? Government law enforcement sent her a cease and desist and threatened to charge her for protected speech. It's not a gray area. The purpose of the letter was to…

Tough question to answer. Historically, privately owned artillery has been OK and was crucial during the Revolutionary War and all sorts of little skirmishes throughout the 19th ce…

definitely, but I like to think most people here are more self-aware or are less extreme about shouting down others. the heavy-hivemind topics always have a couple of good "woah th…

Enshrined in the Constitution are the founding principles of the world's first liberal democracy. The men who wrote it and the electorate that ratified it were just a couple years …

Yeah, there's some gray area there and grenades are probably the best example. Separated from philosophical side of things, they are legal to own Federally at least, at $200 a tax …

home and work?

Telling, huh? In what way? I'd love for you to expand on that.

God the tone of your comment just set me off. What's the ugly sentiment and uglier mind? Just put it out there, whatever -ism you're about to accuse the parent poster of. Let's hea…

Yeah, I use them all the time for the specific memory layout part. At the same time, I've never had to go as far with optimization as trimming a few bytes off my structs for the pr…

I mean, are you really going to argue that the sole fact that the kids' genitals weren't entirely visible makes it not child pornography? Despite the fact that it was children bein…

like the other response pointed out, that's not my interpretation- there's a diversity of viewpoints, and that's the interpretation that I was taught by the Church I went to and by…

Context? Different Christian religions and people have varying ways of reconciling the two. I (raised Catholic) was taught essentially that with Jesus's death, the old rules went o…

Also from Buffalo, same experience- someone bringing up religion in conversation would be odd. Would be really weird if they start talking about their relationship with God, prayin…

I've tried this before, writing "return to sender" on spam, except was putting them back in the mailbox with the flag up. The mailman threw a minor fit after the 3rd or 4th time I …

Backing this up, because without the context I thought it looked like a goofy/funny quirk in the law. But god damn... > The tapes contained numerous vignettes of teenage and pretee…
