Why do you need guns in schools? Even if it's just to teach about them, it's not the place to bring guns into, and giving them to kids creates this expectation that they should own one, and it's normal to own one. It's kind of fucked up. You can have a class discussing them, but they should be expected to handle one. Nobody in the world does that.

The government should just mandate that, to own a firearm, you need a license. This license can be obtained like a car license, after attending a number of classes, passing a written test and a practice test, where you show the examiner you know about gun safety. Then you have to renew every two years or how long it is, pass a medical exam and on you go. If you get caught intoxicated while holding or near an unsafe firearm, your license is taken away from you, with all your firearms, for a period of time, or permanently for repeat offenses, like with cars.

Just make guns act like cars, if it's fine one way, it's fine the other too. Putting restrictions instead of giving guns away like you're Brian from Family Guy trying to buy a carton of milk in Texas will drastically reduce the number of people who even want one. If it's too much of a hassle to own one, most people will just do without.

I'm pretty sure that, with autocorrect, it's harder to write sm than some, so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "theorem", if we wanna call it that, says that, given an infinite amount of monkeys and time, they could write Shakespeare.

This doesn't mean it's actually possible in the real world, it's just to say that random events can seem, from the outside, like intelligent creations. Like a cloud that looks like a pig, no one actually created it to look like that, it was just random happenstance.

Wow, I'm having this issue right now. Forgot my current laptop at home, so I took out the old laptop which hasn't seen an update in months.

Now it has randomly crashed, as one does (reason why I asked for a replacement) and I'm here waiting for windows to install all the updates...

Then there's Italian. We have less letters than other European languages (we don't have k,j,w,x,y) and we still manage to avoid shit like "thoroughly" or spamming letters. We have accents, but use them way less than in Spanish and no special accents or characters like ñ ç č ß å ø ö etc

Once you understand the rules is probably one of the easier languages to spell and pronounce

Depends on the conventions used in your country, there's no real reason for using a comma instead of a dot, or vice versa.

In Italy this is a decimal number: 3,45 and this is a big number: 6'000'870

Every country has its own convention

If perfected means they put it even where probably there wasn't a need for it, then yes. HSR is fantastic for connecting big cities, but it's also very expensive and sometimes China has prioritized HSR rather than regular rail, even though there wasn't a strict need for very fast expensive trains. Sometimes slower, more frequent and cheaper low speed rail can make more sense.

It's not bad per se, but it's money that could be used for better purposes.

Ok, but this doesn't explain why you would choose to self-host VaultWarden rather than using BitWarden.

Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn't be passable of a copyright claim.

Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn't be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.
