"Disagreements" are for things like tax milage, or whether or not a school needs a new football field. "Disagreements" are not for things like, "jews should be gassed", or "trans people are all pedophiles".
Ah ha! Okay, now I see it. It took me a while. I was clicking on the 'Moderators' that's on the lower left, and that was the one that's giving me a 50x error!
Depending on how you generate power, you could use LED grow lights in vertical farms. You also have the luxury of working in an environment that you can tightly control; that means you may not need to use pesticides or herbicide at all. If you aren't working in large fields, you can get away from using heavy diesel farm equipment.
Fundamentally, we need to use less land for farming, we need to use far fewer pesticides and herbicides, and need to reduce the emissions associated with farming. Vertical farming has the potential to help with all of those.
You could, for instance, shut down at the end of a cycle and do a thorough cleaning without using pesticides. Using steam, heat, and high-powered ultraviolet light, you should be able to effectively kill any pests or eggs that pests are leaving. Yes, pesticides are certainly less expensive in the short run, but in terms of long-term health for the entire planet, they're super-bad.
Hello Sci-fi fans and writers, I hope that this here is the correct spot to ask this question regarding a conundrum I have come about during my work on a sci-fi short Story....
Not directly related, but .5c is going to be slooooooooooow for interstellar travel. Proxima Centauri is roughly 268,770 AU away, and 1 AU is about 8.3 light-minutes. That works out to be 2.23M light minutes, or 4.2 light years. If someone is traveling at .5c, that's 8.4 years to get from our solar system to the very closest star system. And of course it's all at relativistic speeds, so while it may not feel long to the people on the ship, it's still the better part of a decade.
Right now, the closest earth-like planet we know of (similar size, similar star, similar orbital period) is Kepler-452b. Kepler-452b is 1800 light years away, or 3200 years for the people observing the craft that was traveling there. This is getting solidly into Joel Haldeman's "The Forever War" territory.
IMO, unless you want to do a lot of math to figure out the effects of time dilation, you might want to have some kind of science-magic that allows your characters to sidestep relativity.
(I believe it was Charles Stross that worked relativity into a galactic cryptocurrency economic system. He got around relativity by assuming that almost all people were inorganic, and able to copy and back up their consciousness, or sleep through the decades that interstellar travel required.)
Take a page from the way the Putin and the FSB dealt with the Wagner group; hold families hostage. They don't have to interdict the protagonists, they just have to be willing to murder every single person that the protagonist cares about if the protagonist doesn't turn themselves in. The protagonist might be willing to sacrifice their own life to achieve a goal, but are they willing to sacrifice their entire extended family and all of their college friends?

Ask someone who claims to be a weapons expert of any stripe whether shotguns are effective for home defense and you are going to get an EARFUL of opinions.So...
Good breakdown. There's a lot of information there that's not just for shotgun that all people worried about home defense need to think about.
For me, personally? Top choice, if money is no object and I live in a pemissive state, is an SBR with a suppressor shooting frangible ammunition. Faster reloads, easier to clear most malfunctions, less length in tight spaces, and frangible ammunition reduces the odds of overpenetration. But that's just me and my situation. :)
It is in fact very, very hard, when your entire country is planned around the automobile. You're talking about building infrastructure that doesn't exist, and replanning every single town.
When I lived in Chicago, I drove once a week, for groceries, because I lived in a food desert. Otherwise I rode my bicycle (yes, in the winter too). That's not even remotely practical now, because I live in a very rural area.
I don't think you have any idea how difficult that is, particularly since the US isn't a totalitarian dictatorship. There are a lot of factors in play for the average person, and you need to convince that person that they should change everything about their life and pay far more in taxes, for something that a significant percentage don't believe in or care about. You can't win with a fact-based argument; you need to successfully appeal to emotion. And so far, climate activists are doing a really, really bad job at that. Getting people to make incremental change is more likely to be effective, even if make reform is needed.
There's also a prisoner's dilemma here; if we bankrupt the country building this infrastructure, and China and India don't, then not only is climate change not significantly affected, but we also lose economically.
"Well regulated" means trained. Not governed by a central authority. Anyone that goes to a range to practice regularly would be considered "well related".
Fun fact: you can be opposed to capitalism without being a communist.
You [tankies] maybe opposed to capitalism, but you're still in favor of the coercive control of individuals by a state-level entity. That's just another flavor of authoritarianism.
I don't think that it's accurate to call tankies liberals.
A lot of this gets thought of on a left-right spectrum, but it's really more like a compass, with economics being left-right, and authoritarian/antiauthoritarian being top-bottom. Liberals in the US would be slightly left of center on the economic spectrum, but largely centrist on the authoritarianism spectrum. Tankies would be far left on the economic spectrum, but at the top of the authoritarian spectrum. Libertarians (or, what gets called libertarian now) would be at the extreme right on the economic spectrum, but at the very bottom of the authoritarianism spectrum. (The most modern libertarians are not actually anti-authoritarian, although they claim to be. E.g., many of them oppose abortion rights.)
That's closer to anarchism then communism. Communism, as it's generally developed, has a central state authority.
Personally, I see the existence of a state and individual liberties as always under tension. You can't have a state without some infringement on individual expressions. But some restriction on individual expression is necessary for a functioning society. The question is what infringements and under what circumstances are acceptable.
I'm heading to the range in a few hours; I'll let you know!
The idea is that a frame mounted optic reduce reciprocating mass compared to a slide mount, and reduce recoil forces on the optic. Less mass moving with the slide = less felt recoil. You have to balance a lot of factors; I want to eventuality get down to the minimum felt recoil--with a ported slide and compensator--while still being able to reliably cycle the lightest 10mm ammo.
TBH, the recoil already feels lighter than my polymer 9mm because it's so heavy.
I need to fabricate a nice holster for it, and then compare my times on Bill drills to see if my perception of less recoil is accurate or not.
So I'm pretty recent to the high seas but I've seen a few posts now about "stop relying on your VPN" and "people that think VPNs will protect them are naive" and so on....
I've got the extension up and running, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I reset my proxy settings every time I try to connect (I can't connect to the internet normally if I use i2p proxy settings, and can't connect to i2P if I don't); i don't recall off the top of my head if FoxyProxy worked correctly for me or not.
I will check out the thread on wizanons.de and see if that helps at all.
