Hey, he’s like, just this guy, you know?

jordanlund,

Extended Mag Coachman. ;)

jordanlund,

I really didn’t like how they disrespected Walter most of the time. If you weren’t interested in his opinions, why do you ask him?

It just got super tiresome super quickly. I never finished the first season.

jordanlund,

The Supreme Court specifically addressed that in 2016 in my favorite one of these cases because it didn’t initially seem to involve firearms:

Caetano v. Massachusetts - 2016
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caetano_v._Massachusetts

Woman was being threatened by an abusive ex and bought a taser for protection.

MA charged her saying that tasers didn’t exist at the time of the 2nd amendment, so she had no right to own one.

Enter the court:

“the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding” and that “the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States”.[6] The term “bearable arms” was defined in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and includes any “”[w]eapo[n] of offence" or “thing that a man wears for his defence, or takes into his hands,” that is “carr[ied] . . . for the purpose of offensive or defensive action.” 554 U. S., at 581, 584 (internal quotation marks omitted)."[10]

Anything you take into your hands for defense is allowed under the 2nd amendment. So, no, you don’t have the right to a cruise missile or a tactical nuke, but if you can carry it, it’s yours.

jordanlund,

Gas is banned by the Geneva convention, so no. Grenades are classified as “destructive devices”, so no.

Automatic weapons are fully allowed so long as you’re willing to do the paperwork and pay the tax. It’s not an easy process, and it’s SUPER expensive, but it can be done.

jordanlund,

Not according to the Supreme Court and they are the ones who decide this stuff:

McDonald vs. City of Chicago - 2010
en.m.wikipedia.org/…/McDonald_v._City_of_Chicago

"the second amendment right recognized in Heller is fully applicable to the states through the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. In so holding, the Court reiterated that “the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense” (id. at ___, 130 S. Ct. at 3026); that “individual self-defense is ‘the central component’ of the Second Amendment right”

jordanlund,

That’s the job of the Supreme Court, I’m sorry you disagree, but that doesn’t change the fact of the matter.

It could change if the court were to swing the other way, but it’s only been getting more conservative in my lifetime, not less.

jordanlund,

It’s not reverence, I’m telling you the way it is. You’re free to ignore reality if you’d like. The line of “money isn’t real, man!” people is over there -->

jordanlund,

The ruling is the ruling, there’s only one way to over-ride the Supreme Court and that’s by passing a new amendment.

Here’s what needs to happen:

Get 290 votes in the House. The same people who don’t have 218 right now to fund the government.

Get 67 in the Senate. The same people who can’t get 60 to over-ride a filibuster.

Get ratification from 38/50 states. In a country where 25 + DC voted Biden and 25 voted Trump. You’d need all 25 Biden states + 13 Trump states.

Alternately, we could bag the whole thing and write a new Constitution, but again, the new one needs to get ratified by the states, and between the states who want to outlaw abortion and the states who want to outlaw guns, nobody is going to agree on it.

jordanlund,

“you can finally find the elevator to the Well without a quest arrow.”

Land at the Spaceport.

Go to the mercantile:

Around the corner to the right is an elevator to the Well.

jordanlund,

Yup. You can’t blindfold your kids.

jordanlund,

Hey, I’m not here to kink shame. ;)

jordanlund,

“No one has the right to talk to a child about sexuality unless it’s the parent, or the parent has given permission,”

First, that’s patently bullshit.

Second, what does Fred Finger or his sexuality have to do with the creation of Batman? I don’t see the need to bring up Bill Finger’s kid at all, regardless of orientation.

Fred Finger was born Dec. 26, 1948. Nine years after Batman was introduced. 5 years after Batman first appeared on film.

It’s a tragic story:

hivplusmag.com/…/batmans-real-life-son-died-aids-…

Nothing to do with the creation of Batman.

jordanlund,

It’s going to be interesting to see the lawyers challenge that for Hunter Biden’s coke habit.

slate.com/…/hunter-biden-second-amendment-legal-d…

jordanlund,

Agreed nothing is off the table, but the court has only turned more conservative, not less. So turnimg it back around may take another 50 years or more.

jordanlund,

Beto O’Rourke is probably the most notable:

youtu.be/lMVhL6OOuR0

Biden too:

joebiden.com/gunsafety/

Which has since been taken offline and now has the best 404 ever… CNN archived parts of it here:

cnn.com/…/factcheck_b584f336-923d-49d9-98c5-d8288…

“Along with banning the “manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” Biden’s plan includes mandating that people who own assault weapons either sell theirs to the federal government or properly register them with the authorities.”

jordanlund,

they aren’t calling for banning ALL guns, they’re calling for banning certain types of guns.

From a rights oriented perspective “that’s how it starts”. Especially for the folks online calling for an Australia style ban.

people are eventually just going to eliminate the 2A altogether, which would be harmful IMO.

That would require a new amendment and that’s just not possible given the current governmental dysfunction. You’d have to start by getting 290 votes in the House, the same folks who needed 15 tries to get the 218 votes needed to decide who their own leader would be. :(

Instead of insisting that a sentence written hundreds of years ago means you can do whatever you want with no restrictions, maybe come up with a reasonable argument as to why it is important for our democracy for you to bear those particular arms.

People confuse semi-automatic rifles for fully automatic rifles. I was uneducated myself, until I went out and bought an AR-15 myself and ran through a training class with it. I felt I needed that experience to speak intelligently about it.

Like any other semi-automatic, it fires one time every time you pull the trigger. It’s not dramatically different from other kinds of rifles, other than it automatically ejects the shell and loads the next round instead of the shooter having to do it manually with a lever, pump or bolt.

But man, have you SEEN some of those non semi-auto shooters?

jordanlund,

No Labels? Isn’t that Andrew Yang’s deal?

In Arizona, 15,000 people is enough to swing an election.

In 2020 the final count was:

Biden - 1,672,143
Trump - 1,661,686

10,457 vote difference… but that belies the bigger picture:

Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian) - 1.5% - 51,465
Howie Hawkins (Write-in) - 0.0% - 1,557
Jade Simmons (Write-in) - 0.0% - 236
Gloria La Riva (Write-in) - 0.0% - 190
Daniel Clyde Cummings (Write-in) - 0.0% - 36
President Boddie (Unaffiliated) - 0.0% - 13

I think it’s less likely that a 3rd party would draw from Biden or Trump and more likely they’d draw from the other fringe candidates, esp. the Libertarians.

Jimmy Carter’s Final Chapter: Peanut Butter Ice Cream and His 99th Birthday (www.nytimes.com)

Maybe it’s the peanut butter ice cream he still enjoys. Or the fact that his first-place Atlanta Braves are cruising toward the playoffs and he wants to see another World Series. Or as many of his loved ones and former advisers suggest, maybe he is just too stubborn to follow anyone else’s timetable....

jordanlund,

“Kicked out” may have been too strong a phrase, but Medicare stops paying after 6 months. I guess if you keep paying yourself…

www.medicare.gov/…/how-hospice-works

“Hospice care is for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less (if the illness runs its normal course). If you live longer than 6 months, you can still get hospice care, as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that you’re terminally ill.

You can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods.

You have the right to change your hospice provider once during each benefit period.

At the start of the first 90-day benefit period, your hospice doctor and your regular doctor (if you have one) must certify that you’re terminally ill (with a life expectancy of 6 months or less). At the start of each benefit period after the first 90-day period, the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor must recertify that you’re terminally ill, so you can continue to get hospice care.”

jordanlund,

as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that you’re terminally ill.

And all it takes is one paperwork failure to lose coverage.

jordanlund,

OP noted: “Don’t get me started on how this messes up linux commands and scripts”

If you’re running linux commands and scripts, you’re not a normal user and should know this already. :) It’s only been the standard for 30 years or so.

jordanlund,

Not in HTML. Never has worked that way.

Special reserved characters have always been handled this way because you don’t want to accidentally interpret something the wrong way.

Same for URL encoding. You upload “Clever Name.PDF” to a website and it generates a URL of “Clever%20Name.PDF” because spaces aren’t valid in URLs. %20 is the code for a space.

jordanlund,

As a cat owner, this doesn’t even look like a real print. It’s too deep. Most likely a manufactured print done as a gag by whoever made the bricks.
