I've also experienced the same, except it produced the same stupid code all over again. I usually use one model (doesn't matter which) until it starts chasing it's tail, then I fee…

Ukraine was guaranteed protection of its then current borders by the US, Russia, and the EU nations if it agreed to give up it's nuclear weapons. A quick google gave me this as a t…

I think the hunters safety courses should be a requirement for everyone, even those that aren’t buying a firearm — and should probably come around the age of 14/15 unless you’re go…

I looked up something quickly, to see if it was still true. In the UK, where you're not allowed to use firearms to defend yourself, home invasions where someone is home is 64%. In …

I haven't seen this video, but would like to -- It sounds right to me, which instantly makes me question it, but it does fit the information coming out of Ukraine re: Russian milit…

Gun registration wouldn’t have done anything to stop this shooting. A legal adult with no criminal record purchased the guns in advance of his rampage. A waiting period wouldn’t ha…

That’s what high explosives are made for. To use a real world example: Columbine was a failed school bombing because their detonators didn’t work because the product they used for …

I know you’re being facetious, but It’s fun to point out that you can purchase an Apache if you can find a government to tell you one. The missiles are separately regulated, and li…

I would also like to see my children grown up. I’m aware that insane/evil people will do awful things, but that you don’t suppress the rights of everyone to stop one or two bad app…

I think we'd need to be honest about it and compare individual European countries to individual US states. New York and California are NOT like Alabama, Texas and Florida. Californ…

I don't want gun violence, but I 100% want the 1986 National Firearm Act repealed. I believe fully automatic assault weapons and machine guns should be available for purchase, new,…

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. The conservatives I know believe everyone should know how to handle a firearm safely, and believe people have a right to defend thems…

Except the National Guard are actually part of the Army, Navy and Air Force. "The National Guard is a state-based military force that becomes part of the reserve components of the …

You can have multiple echo chambers. Just because they’re different doesn’t mean they’re not all echoing garbage from their biased view points. Fox News is the echo chamber of the …

Something I’ve wondered: Since website access is a pull (client initiated) action, can you straight up decline a visitor if you aren’t allowed to track and capitalize on them? I ha…

Yes, it is possible to have it both ways. Your reliance on something isn't material when trying to get support from someone you're not paying. Full stop. Maybe it's important to yo…

I just had a discussion with a friend about this last week. Some people (we call it addictive personalities, not sure if there’s a better term) seem to get hooked almost right away…

That's also been my experience. Teams is absolutely awful. It looks like it's a sharepoint messaging client (you can store files in it, make group pages), which is.. insane. I drea…

It’s getting there. From 1995-2000 (maybe -2002, -2003), it was absolutely relevant, even prevent in the industry. After that point, it felt like Java/PHP/Asp took the lead.

I can't find the article, which I read years ago. Some quick googling did turn this up: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/2... Which discusses the fact tha…

Exactly! Me spending more time with my child doesn't take away from what other children receive. If I wasn't working with my child, then I certainly wouldn't be working with all of…

The US government is toxic, and it is openly promoting racist policies and ideologies that are outright offensive. No, it can't be trusted with my kids future and education. It's n…

I’ve heard that insurance for Catholic Churches aren’t any higher than insurance for a different denomination —- the abuse is at the same level as other churches, it’s just that th…

The search engines weren't great -- I think I had the best luck with Altavista. It's almost impossible to convey how different the 'web was back then. Searching mailing list or use…

I'm not convinced that security is actually that much higher. I agree with your examples, but the complexity of most environments now is such that you almost have to know what you'…
