Even more strawman arguments. Read back through the comments - I never said anything about fire extinguishers, and am not defending anyone who is lax on safety.

Most enthusiasts are very serious about safety but know that the implementation details are situational.

Accidents are also very rare. If we want to try to reduce the small percentage who don’t take safety seriously, we should start early and make a safety course part of everyone’s schooling.

Is English not your first language? ‘Their’ in that context refers to the person you were replying to: SupraMario.

And as far as Midwesterners and more specifically my political beliefs; while we Minnesotans have a proud tradition of independence, we’re not all Jesse Ventura. Our most popular party is the DFL, which is somewhat distinct from the national Democrat party, and we’ve supported (D) presidential candidates more than any other state. I’m more in the camp of ‘If you go far enough left you get the guns back’. Every gun club I’ve been a member of has had strong membership support of safe handling and storage, but what that looks like differs based on multiple factors such as whether there are children in the household. Not drinking before or during shooting is often in the club’s bylaws.

Really? You shouldn’t have to put in much effort to realize that not every adult has children or has family with children.

The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home. If the guns are behind locked doors away from children, they’re secured.

In most of the US, there is no legal requirement of registering a weapon to a person. I think you’re confusing that with the Wisconsin law restricting the unsupervised use of dangerous weapons by those under 18.

Sure, but if it wasn’t for vulture capitalism trying to cut every cent possible, it’d be a minor increase in cost to make these systems degrade gracefully. Then at worst it’d still function as the equivalent ‘dumb’ device.

They have already censored entire accounts at the request of governments.

Decentralized isn’t the right word to use for a system like this.

Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka “Trusted Verifiers”) for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.

This comes off like “NSRXN made them break the rules” which is ridiculous.

People need to be responsible for their own actions.

Check the Tech Ingredients YT channel.

Tech Ingredients YT channel made a diy microwave directed energy device to disrupt consumer drones.

More like: That could be useful, just not for (perhaps many) drones.

1km isn’t that far - the drones that were used for surveillance of Minneapolis protests in 2020 were around 6km up.

If they needed to get close for some reason, would a 1km deterrent be countered enough by approaching from directly above and using gravity for the last km?

And green lasers

What subject, and was it time limited? If there was any chance of not finishing in time I’d probably leave those until last.

Based on that logic, maybe reworking it to use ‘toxin’ instead would get it boosted…

Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.

More likely beets.

Regular chalk is calcium carbonate. Crayola’s website says their sidewalk chalk uses calcium sulfate (gypsum as an ingredient in plaster of paris).

So they’re both calcium salts.

But how could you get your hand to seamlessly meld into the fabric of the shoulder strap?
