Criminals going to criminal. Beyond that, a gun in the hands of a law abiding citizen helps reduce crime.

I wonder if it's even worse.. by law they are required to have a certain statistical payout right?

What if the casino can enable "win mode" for their favorite customers staying in high priced rooms, and then turn it to basically zero for foot traffic. At the end of the month the machine paid out the correct ratio... Except you as a general player had zero chance to win because it paid out to their loyal customer earlier in the day.

Automatic weapons aren't allowed and I haven't even ever seen one even while being around guns for 20 years casually but not THAT casually.

I suppose you mean semi automatic weapons.. which is basically 95% of guns in the homes of Americans.

tempfortwitt90··on Vitamin D: Potent regulator of dopaminergic neuron differentiation and function
I know several women that go outside and take walks for their vitamin d, but slather on sunscreen which blocks the process. No matter how many times I tell them it's a worthy trade-off, they won't go outside without.

I'm 38, and have never worn sunscreen outside of going to the beach for a whole day. I often get compliments from women about my face, and they're shocked to hear I never wear sunscreen or moisturize. It's almost like not putting chemicals on your face is good for you.

tempfortwitt90··on Am I the Unethical One?
I was once 'caught' providing alcohol to a minor at a sting event at a 7-11. The 16-18 year old came up to me, with his 16-18 year old gf, while I was browsing a Redbox kiosk and asked me very politely to buy him alcohol. I said "no way, sorry". A minute later he asked a guy behind me waiting, also politely and was told no. I left. Drove 3-4 minutes away. I felt bad. I stopped at a store, got him a 6 pack, and drove back and gave it to him. The sting operation was not ready for this scenario. I drove away. 2 minutes later 3 cop cars surrounded me and ordered me out of my car. Long story short, I talked to a lawyer about potentially trying to get off on an entrapment defense. He said I MIGHT have a chance because I said no at first and left. And that something about the scenario made me come back even though my impulse was to say no. He even reached out to someone (DA?) regarding the case. When I went for the initial hearing where I planned to reschedule for a hearing with a lawyer, all charges were dropped. Is this because they realized it almost was entrapment in a way? I'll never know.
tempfortwitt90··on Cloud, Why So Difficult?
I currently run a micro-saas product on a $4 a month namecheap server using the LAMP stack. It runs fast for all 34 companies, or 400+ employees, using it.

I've looked into moving it to Google cloud or AWS and it just seems daunting. Honestly, I use ftp, cpanel, and phpmyadmin.

Is there a way to get this product into the 'cloud' in case it grows, easily?

tempfortwitt90··on Evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases
Does it lower it compared to not getting the virus nor the vaccine?

Seat belts lower car accident deaths. But not lower than simply not driving. Isn't this a similar example?

I never stated which one I was.

IMO hes technically right. If you're wrong, people correct you. If you're right but they know they can't really argue the matter, they downvote.

The anti vax screw will probably wonder if injecting the vaccine actually increases your odds of Alzheimers since you're getting a partial version of the virus when doing so.

She just wants a decent commuter that's safe and looks upmarket enough for her.

No shortage of companies with terrible employees that do well via a good executive team (Walmart?). Very few companies with good employees could survive terrible direction from leadership.

My gf wanted to buy a hybrid Toyota RAV4. Hard to find, little choice of incoming units, and they want $5k over MSRP. She was very hesitant to get a full EV. But now seeing how dealers want over MSRP on the RAV4... She's 95% sold on the Model 3.

If they were going for the kill... They would have killed the owner that approached them.

The guns are drawn in case they can't see the felon. For example, a felon sees cop cars approaching and ducks down to not be seen, while he loads his handgun.

Until they have a grasp on the situation, I can see why a person would want to protect themselves with a gun when approaching a suspected car thief.

Odds of having my car stolen feel a lot lower than the odds of my life being affected negatively by the government currently.

I have cars that I accept I can just lose. And the one that's so expensive I can't, I have insurance. I have little insurance against getting screwed by the government if I happen to be that unlucky. Just a general feeling, idk if rational or not.

Well, if you were the police officer responding to the call... You assume you're about to encounter a felonious car thief.

In 2020, I was in a parking lot in an SF Bay Area suburb. A guy parked his car in front of a store, and within 2 minutes the car was swarmed by 3 local police cars, gun drawn. The owner went back out to the car reluctantly.

Turned out the plates were reported stolen, by clerical mistake (typo?) and the towns license plate scanners picked up the car when he got off the freeway. The parking lot we were located in was two stoplights from the highway, and took about 3 minutes to travel. They picked him up that fast and basically drove around til they found the car (assuming off a picture/video feed since stolen plates won't be on a car that matches the original cars description).

That's when I knew we were definitely in a tracking nightmare most people don't even know about.

I made an account just to tell you that after a decade of placeholder Twitter account, I started using it after Elon. When Tucker Carlson posted his videos about being fired, my dad made an account because he thinks it'll be the new YouTube. He doesn't even watch Foxnews.
