That is not a credible nor unbiased source. That article merely regurgitates “research” from the “Crime Prevention Resource Center”, a known pro-gun fake news source.

Actually, you made the original assertion, I believe the onus is on you to back up your claim. I'm not doing free research that you should have done in the first place.

That stat on the percentage of mass shootings in “gun free” zones has been shown to be completely false, and was largely made up by a pro-gun group. In fact, the percentage of mass shootings, using the “3 or more victims in a single incident” defintion, that took place in an area without armed guards, and where…

Well, gee, thanks for letting the cat out of the bag.  Now we’ll have to start working on “6G”.

“The orange shitgibbon himself...”

This is just never going to happen, for so many reasons. For me, reason #1 is that I’m way too lazy to be sliding panels and unfolding a bunch of crap, one-handed (since it’s strapped to my other wrist) just to get a little extra screen real estate for a few minutes. I mean - at that point, I would have just pulled…

My first purchase was in June 1998, and was a programming book/reference guide: “The JavaScript Bible”.

Some people really can't handle suddenly being super wealthy. His first instinct was to start a sex ring where he owns people. Yikes.

Given the accelerating pace of innovation, and the advent (or imminent advent) of machine-learning enabling the automation of jobs like truck and taxi drivers, radiology technician, customer service reps, warehouse workers, travel agents, and so on, I would not at all be surprised to see some form of UBI - probably…

In the case of privately-own websites, forums, and so on, that’s an easy question to answer: the owners. And in order to be inclusive, they must ban those who attack people on the basis of race, creed, national origin, etc. So yes, they're being inclusive by ensuring that those who try to exclude others are themselves…

I managed to get tickets to Hamilton for the show in Portland last year, which I bought online. Assuming the tickets are all paid for with a credit card, I don’t see any technical reasons that the ticket websites couldn’t restrict sales to a max of 4, or 6 or whatever. You would just cap sales per credit card number…

Sarita Singh should lose her license to practice medicine. And the Kansas organization that employs her should put in place some guidelines that make it clear that advising patients to drink bleach - or that consuming bleach is harmless - will be fired.

Platooning still leaves too much of a gap. Those rigs should be *spooning* !

When I first tried to sign up for CenturyLink adsl about 5 years ago, the tech couldn’t install it because the buried phone line had been cut by construction next door (we didn’t have landline service, so we didn’t even know). They proceeded to bill me for a service that was never hooked up, and send late notices, for…

Having been in a CH-47 when I was in the 101st, I would pay good money to see someone attempt to stuff 55 humans in one. Maybe if they're all kindergartners...

This is just.... I mean.... maybe in Portland, right? But anywhere else, the concentration of hipsters who also are willing to pay to pogo is way too low for this madness.

In other words, you have no real evidence - if your photos were convincing, they would convince. They’re not, so they don’t. And just as you say “cut the crap with Jesus and ghosts”, the people who swear ghosts are everywhere will say, “cut the crap with aliens” when the comparison is made. You’re free to believe that…

“I know what I saw, I do not need convincing.”

The “to think that we are alone is ludicrous” is a straw man argument. I believe that it’s both extremely unlikely that we are alone in the universe, but also extremely unlikely that aliens are buzzing Navy fighter planes over the Pacific. Are there other technological civilization Somewhere Out There? Almost…

My vote is, a mix of digital artifacts / equipment issues, natural atmospheric events (whether static discharge, ball lightning, or hitherto unknown natural processes) and other man-made but ordinary objects along the lines of mylar balloons or whatever. I suppose it could be evidence of hacking of naval warfare…
