Rofl. Ok, I’ll reply once to your walrusing, but this is it.

You applied US law standards to a foreign nation. Intent, commonality of gun ownership.

This is a foreign nation with their own very strict gun and drug laws. This is very common in 3rd world tourism based countries, particularly island countries. It’s to keep their country controlled and safe, which is essential for the tourism industry. And many of these countries have devastating drug cartel histories, though I don’t know this particular countries history with them.

But yeah, this is all about your gun rights to be careless with your firearms and ammunition, and your rights to travel to other countries and disrespect their laws.

I’m not going to spell out how this is all related to “accountability” because it’s abundantly obvious.

And your victimized take on my pulling your political affiliation is rich, given your words I was replying to:

Just because you personally disagree with the 100 million gun owners doesn’t make this a moderate take. Imprisoning people for years because of a loose round in luggage is moronic politically and a waste of tax money.

But I guess not wanting to be accountable for your own words tracks.

Ahh yes, the “how dare they hold him accountable for his own actions” take.

Imagine my surprise when I quickly found you self identify as a libertarian.

Shocking.

LIDAR would have similarly been degraded in the foggy conditions that this occurred in. Lasers are light too.

While I do think Tesla holds plenty of responsibility for their intentionally misleading branding in FSD, as well as cost saving measures to not include lidar and/or radar, this particular instance boils down to yet another shitty and irresponsible driver.

You should not be relying on FSD over train tracks. You should not be allowing FSD to be going faster than conditions allow. Dude was tearing down the road in thick fog, way faster than was safe for the conditions.

You understand that this isn’t a feud perpetuated by both sides. This is one side desperately trying to fend off an unprovoked invader.

I did not phrase that as a question, because I know you know this.

But just in case, I’ll say something I’m pretty sure you understand as well.

Cyka blyat

Except being very expensive, wear out after a few years (at best), and being sensitive to being in the hot sun all day every day. All in a profession mostly worked by under privileged people where frugality is a necessity of life.

The problem with electric gardening tools is they aren’t that feasible for contractors.

Batteries don’t last long and take a long time to charge, so it’s just not an option when you’re working all day. Corded means at every location, you have to figure out outlets, extension cords, fuss with tangles and obstructions, etc.

If you’re doing your own lawns, yeah, you can probably get into a workflow that works for you. But a lot of people hire out for landscaping.

Huh. Flirty “Her” terminators to lower your defenses before the kill. Didn’t see that coming.

That sounds a lot like what I understood how etrade platforms like Robinhood work when I was reading up on the GME shorts fiasco.

I definitely only have a surface level understanding of it, but it sounded like the stock brokers have a buffer in-between the transaction request to buy/sell, and they first try to handle that locally within their portfolio, before expanding to external trades. And if there’s a favorable internal trade, brokers like Robinhood siphon out a little something something for themselves.

Sounds like people are getting busted for doing essentially the same thing Wallstreet has been doing for decades. Again.

Rofl. Imagine being mildly infuriated that someone marked up a bargain bin purchase by $10 to cover their time and effort to make it available to you to buy from the comfort of your home.

Why don’t you spend your own day rummaging through thrift stores for it next time?

Man. People will be negative about everything.

New breakthrough that may change the entire landscape of an industry? Oh, we hear about breakthroughs every few weeks. Call me if it actually makes it to market.

New apparently game changing breakthrough that’s already being taken to market? Boo advertising, we should just quiet launch it and see if anyone notices? Seriously?

We have a trip to Alaska to see the salmon run coming up. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has already booked a swim with the orcas without telling me.

I’ve had this argument with my wife, who wants to swim with Orcas, so many times.

Me: Orcas are the sadistic murder cats of the ocean. Do not swim with them. They may decide to kill you for the fun of it.

Her: There has never been a reported fatal orca attack! You worry too much!

Me: How many people do you think are trying to swim with wild orcas every year? Sample size is to small. It’s like saying it’s safe to slap a grizzly bear with a pool noodle and then throw a Meringue pie in it’s face, because AFAIK, no one has ever died doing so.

Sky burial. Just chop me up and feed me to the vultures

That’s a pretty elaborate plan to crop dust your wife from two floors away. Respect.

Wanting you to have a stable career as well as a passion hobby are not incompatible. It’s when you want to make your passion hobby your profession, when the chances are extremely low of being successful, that you get conflict.

I don’t know anything about your relationship, but it’s likely the negativity comes from a place of wanting you to have a comfortable, practical life.

I tried the sled with shims on my thickness planer. It worked, but it was certainly a pain in the ass and unwieldy due to weight and length.

Picked up a 6" bench top jointer. Not great at long boards due to length of the feeds. Picked up some roller stands hoping that would be close enough, but I moved and the garage needs a lot of work before I can try them out.

If you can pick up a full floor sized jointer and have room for it, you’ll save yourself several headaches if you plan on jointing a ton of rough cut lumber.

It was straight and square when it was milled. Problem is that the big box stores cut corners during the kiln drying phase, so the boards have a ton of moisture still in them. As that dries, the boards twist and cup.

Plus poor protection from the elements at each storage step, which means rapid temp changes, which also causes wood movement.

Go to a local lumber yard. They tend to do a better job at kiln drying. You’re still going to have warped boards, but far fewer in my experience.

You are legally required to identify yourself and show your drivers license (or equivalent) and proof of insurance. These are the rules you agree to when you pull your car out onto a public road.

It is not optional. It’s not just a “good idea”. It’s the law.

That only applies to the driver, of course. As a passenger, I think you’re only required to identify yourself if you are a suspect in a crime. That’s where it gets murky and where state laws/policies add nuance.

We do have rentals, but they’re more for large things that you’d use once and never again. Paint sprayers, giant floor sanders, etc.

They don’t rent things like table saws, thickness planers, etc, which would fall into weekend warrior kind of tools. They want you to buy those.

My libertarian friend fully believes in this shit. It’s good to publicly denounce these frauds with evidence to help fight the disinformation campaigns being waged.
