Such night! Much pew!

I think a big part of the issue is the rate of change and sustainability for the human race. The food production systems on earth are where they are and what they are based on a climate that has previously changed over the course of thousands and thousands of years. Ditto for the water...

Well that'll teach me to read an article won't it? And there was me thinking they'd try to do something eloquent like putting a giant Parasol in space. I was under the impression Nukes in space was only Orbital Weapons Platforms? A sun blocking disc in space would have to be far away. Really...

I'll take five.

Be fretful, mortals. Today the delicate cauliflower, tomorrow every other plant under the sun. Heed the Cauli warning, the bell tolls. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49330210 One assumes they'd make it dimable and not 100% on all the time. Only a maniac would just dim the sun and then leave it...

If the crops are being incinerated then no, but then it doesn't do a thing for higher acidity of the oceans, explosion in the amount of methane in the atmosphere once the perma-frost melts... If they want to try it perhaps testing it on Venus first. If they can reverse the run-away global...

Well you've never seen Montoya and Bill Gates in the same room, have you?

My old favourite was the Drake Cutlass, but then the ship changed and the ad is totally pointless. My new favorite is the M50 Galactic Gear segment with Jax McLeary. What Jax really need though is a tech oriented boffin, and a roughneck trucker pair of co-hosts. Jax is about performance and...

Calendar is pretty empty, seems spur of the moment stuff chucked together on Discord...? https://testsquadron.com/pages/calendar/

Just like with cars. No, wait a minute, isn't that the pink slips/V5's are for...? In the UK you have to send a part of the V5 off to advise the registered owner has changed and they are sent a new one.

Thank you, Glorious Leader! I think this is why most other countries have stricter controls - it removes the lowest common denominator which in the case of mass-shootings is the dude who finally snaps one day after decades of dormancy and goes postal, the origin of the phrase "going postal"...

Thanks! 🙂 This one really puts it in context: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787 Considering it was a time when Slavery was legal, I totally get that now. Not sure if it's still within context for the modern era so...

Ace, well fingers crossed. Thinking about it considering the amount of change that has happened between 1791 and now, perhaps by the time the second amendment is repealed and updated by the 32nd or whichever one it might end up being, they'll have found some way to weaponise leaves or...

Many thanks for the link 🙂 202 years to get it passed? Woah! Are there any instances where amendments have been changed or updated after that have passed in order to modernize them?

That's good then. Parents must find it very difficult not to get their kids .22's and the like, considering the culture.

Well thanks for your time, chums. Obviously whatever happens is going to have to be an amendment to the second amendment even if it's limiting the ammo a kid under 17 can legally be allowed to use... When was the last time an amendment was changed/updated? Even if it was a totally unrelated...

Interesting second point - if they are talking about "Arms" in Military weapons, how is this not related to the first part of the line which regards a milatary unit "milita" requiring the well regulation - especially as it shares the same line and is not separated by a full-stop? [continued...

Ahh, lawyers. There are many fine lawyers, however no offense to any of them, but where there are areguments that require lawyers there are agendas. We are back to whatever is easiest/most profitable and so the status quo remains. Again, not talking about banning, just making sure its well...

Sounds like Boston Dynamics needs to shift up a gear to get those ED 209's in the streets before stuff gets really crazy. Just a note on definitions: Regulating uses regulation which has the following definition contrary to the uninfringed line...

It also states "As part of a well regulated militia" suggesting as long as it can be proved what you have now is not well regulated you may be able to get some leverage or void the whole amendment altogether. I also believe infringements have already occurred, such as limits on land-mines...
