Is it not? I was under the belief that official political debates have a large influence on the format and rules of these debate clubs.

If not, it shouldn't be that difficult to verify whether competitor's statements are backed by evidence, or if they're made up, or if they're really opinions disguised as facts.

That's because that's how politics works. If you can get enough people to believe that what you say is true and act on that belief, it doesn't really matter whether it's actually true or not.

I don't know if I'd go that far. If you're talking about a quick script then sure, whatever gets the job done. But for any actual project the use of good, consistent typing does a lot for readability and future-proofing. And in strongly-typed languages it can have a notable affect on the overall functionality too.

If you can't tell from context whether something is a float or if it'll overflow the int max then you probably need to re-think the entire method.

This isn't the exact recipe for OPs mushrooms, but I have a similar recipe:

Bacon lardons, challot, garlic, red wine, parsley, button mushrooms.

Peel and slice the challot, add to hot oiled pan with bacon and garlic. Once they're softened/sizzling turn heat down to medium, optionally add splash of red wine and stir in, then add mushrooms. Stir to coat, cook until ready, add shredded parsley on top.

Can be turned in to a full meal by adding fresh cream and cheese to create a sauce, add another ingredient (I like to pre-cook courgette or sausage and slice them up), and then stir in your pasta of choice. And of course season to perfect it.

Events like this make me wonder if we'll eventually witness the birth of a star that will one day support intelligent life, in a very real sense making us witness to the birth of new civilizations.

Perhaps one day we will be the aliens that some species writes conspiracy theories about.

tbf I think a lot of the Starcraft devs moved to work on Stormgate so hopefully that'll cover the RTS portion.

But it's definitely only part of the solution, that alone is not enough, but nothing else will have a strong effect while so many guns are on the streets and easily accessible.

No I didn't, I think I was pretty clear. We need to reduce the number of guns available, nothing else will be effective until we do. I do believe any solution that does not involve removing guns at some point is incomplete. But removing guns on its own is not enough.

Yes, technically weapons are tools

Again, I'm not arguing a gun isn't a tool. In fact, in the very comment you're replying to I said they are.

But all of this is besides the actual point, you derailed the point of gun culture and availability driving gun violence with an ultimately meaningless conversation about semantics.

Yes, technically weapons are tools, that's because the definition of a tool is so broad, just a device used to carry out a particular task.

That's why I never said he was wrong to call a gun a tool, I said it was misleading, which it is. When a reasonable person thinks of a tool they do not think of a gun, you think of a wrench or a screwdriver or a swiss army knife, or something like that.

You might also want to do a quick check to ensure your Linux disto can handle this mobo and CPU too. Linux is a lot better with that kind of thing these days so it's probably fine, but there are still a few edge cases for certain higher spec hardware or certain less popular distros.

Calling a gun a tool is intentionally misleading. A gun's sole purpose is as a weapon, using it any other way is a misuse of that "tool". Whereas knives have various practical purposes. Which was obviously the purpose of my initial reply.

In some cases, yes, having a gun is entirely legitimate (assuming used safely) such as protection from dangerous wildlife. But the number of legitimate cases does not even come close to justifying the number of guns, or the gun culture, in America. Violence doesn't happen in a vacuum, the presence of guns, the acceptance of gun culture, and the normalization of gun violence are things that contribute to the frequency of gun crime.

The removal of guns, and restricting of them to legitimate use cases IS dealing with the underlying social issues. But it's definitely only part of the solution, that alone is not enough, but nothing else will have a strong effect while so many guns are on the streets and easily accessible.

Looks a bit overpowered to me, honestly. Unless you're planning on running a whole ass kubernetes cluster in there, or multiple VMs at once, or big full stack monolith solutions, you can probably tone down the CPU, RAM, and PSU. If cost is a consideration, you might be able to get better value on storage by dropping down to 1TB too.

But you know, if this is what you want and you have the money, then enjoy!

Yeah man, let me just get my kitchen gun or my box shooter or my letter pistol.

Oh wait, sorry, it's not guns I'm thinking of that has many completely harmless uses, it's knives!

I wish someone would say that about me :(

And once again millions of jobs are saved from Bill Gates' nano-5G-AI-homoglobo agenda, praise god ong ong fr fr 100

Although it may very well be caused by Twitter running out of money, which would be corroborated by Twitter's lack of payment to various other parties. Giving Musk three options: Use more of his own money, admit defeat and massively scale back Twitter's functionality and availability, or try to scam money out of other people.

Clearly he's not willing to spend his own money, or admit failure.

Nice, thanks, I didn't know about this! I assumed the ads were just an unfortunate necessity to maintain the site, but you can definitely tell there's a bigger difference when you compare the two.

Aside from email already being federated as others have said, there's a site called PrivacyTools with lots of links for the other things you talked about and lots more.

Interesting, isn't it? When you have a problem with Twitter they send you a poop emoji, but when Twitter has a problem they fire off a cease-and-desist within hours. Elon is the perfect capitalist.

It's also really weird. Elvis was around to see The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, and technically Sex Pistols too although that was towards the end of his life.

Point is, he should have known about much "worse" musicians and music than The Beatles.
