Reminder that in most US states it's perfectly legal to manufacture firearms at home for personal use as long as you're not a prohibited person, or making a controlled item like a machine gun.
You don't even need to register it.
Though you can't manufacture it with intent to sell.
Also, check your state laws first, some states have different laws.
The founding fathers denied the right to bare arms to Catholics (and I’d wager lots of other religions), Native Americans, slaves (unless their owners explicitly allowed them), and we inherited English Common Law which limited carrying guns in populated areas.
Until Heller in ~2008, the right to bare arms (as a national right) was widely agreed to mean a collective right (eg. The militias), not an individual right.
We are in a weird place at this moment where the tide turned and lots of jurisprudence is being switched. Also, with ICE / DHS acting as unprofessional as they are, I wouldn’t be surprised to see lots of Dems advocate for more individual gun rights.
"Tanks" as a vehicle aren't regulated whatsoever - their main cannon is a destructive device which carries its own set of regulations, but you can absolutely own a tank (sans main gun) with zero paperwork.
Privateers sunk over 600 British vessels during the Revolution - do you think they needed permits for their cannonry? Or that the Founders somehow didn't know this was happening?

Tell me what United States v Miller was about then?
Why do the Federalist papers disagree with everything you are saying, repeatedly?
> we inherited English Common Law which limited carrying guns in populated areas.
Federalist #46:
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it."
This "collective right" idea is completely bogus and flies in the face of countless historical writings, accounts, etc. The jurisprudence on this issue is long-settled, and who are you to disagree with a majority of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States?
I am not even sure what this means, but it seems backwards to me.
"If not by sheer luck, all valid evidence, old and new, related to the one and only location of MH370, can only be reconciled IF that location is known in advance."
Author could be right about the hypothesis, but I'd want to see more evidence that this location had significance to the pilot.
Some of the criticism is accurate, but the paper needs more evidence overall as well.
Datalog has the same capabilities as prolog but allows strings right?
My understanding is that they have very different evaluation strategies, bottom up vs top down. But with laziness and pruning you can still achieve the same goals in datalog with more ergonomics, right?
I think every language should have a prolog or datalog implementation, kind of like regex.
In many respects "Datalog" doesn't refer to a single language or implementation or standard. It really just refers to a set of approaches for querying relational datasets using something like Prolog's unification.
By which I mean there are Datalogs that look like Prolog a bit, and others that don't. And things that are "Datalogs" that don't even have their own PL but instead more of an API. And no standard at all.
Vans usually have a very difficult time off-road or in mountainous terrain.
Vans are commonly used in urban areas, especially by businesses, but suburbs, rural, and construction benefit from higher clearences of SUVs and trucks.
SUVs are also usually much better in hazardous driving conditions because of a more optimal weight distribution.
Having grown up in the mountains, and currently living in a hilly snowy area, no thanks I'll keep my SUV. My in laws have a mini van, and it's not great.
I deal and have dealt with enough deep snow that would eat a van.
I still might get a Sienna Hybrid for daily commuter
I can't take this comment seriously unless you are buying snow tires. If you have snow tires, and you still can't get where you want in the winter, sure get 4wd.
I had a RWD pickup with snow tires and went anywhere I wanted to through two utah winters and many vermont ones too.
Leaning a little into the the distractions, and building processes to quickly search and hop between things had made it better for me.
At the very least opening tabs with Ctrl+T, tab search with Ctrl+Shift+A, quickly closing them with Ctrl+W is my main workflow in Chrome-based browsers.
Once I get my speed up, I find distractions don't occur as often.
Emacs, org-mode, magit, and AI, combined with good sleep, weight lifting, stimulants, have almost completey nullified my ADHD problems.
Could you please elaborate, ideally in as much detail as you're comfortable sharing, on your Emacs and adjacent (org-mode, magit, any kind of syncing to your mobile phone with org-mode if that's done) workflow please. Often I find seeing people's real workflows (in detail and not wishy-washy) to be helpful since it gives me a concrete nucleus to crystallise off of... so to speak.
Maybe they’re trying to firefight but I just tested it and there was no moderation constraint. IMO this also doesn’t address the horrible content people post there. It’s a clear violation of the App Store rules
What happened to you? Might anything you have learned help me? Recommended reading?
I too have a shoulder tendon issue: 14 months ago a loud one-time "pop" occurred while doing a simple external rotation shoulder exercise with very light weight. I immediately lost most strength lhs and the shoulder felt very loose. More than a year later + 1 steroid shot my shoulder is much better but still loose.
It's complicated, rotator cuff tear combined with a bunch of rib, shoulder and neck injuries. I never properly healed them, just rest, career in tennis ended after trying to rest and heal 3 times over 8 years.
YouTube and Physical Therapy combined with the UC David protocol has brought back more strength and mobility than I've ever had.
My main issue I had before was I kept pushing my injury too hard without proper remodeling.
The UC Davis protocol requires a specific isometric, loaded stretch while dosing Vitamin C and Type 2 Collagen an hour before isometrics.
It took about 6 months before I felt it getting significantly better, and I'm not fully healed yet, but I can actually throw balls to my kids without feeling my injury now.
You don't even need to register it.
Though you can't manufacture it with intent to sell.
Also, check your state laws first, some states have different laws.
I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.
