I have an Asus router in my basement, which is mesh capable. The best way to do that is to get another identical router as a node, which I’ve done. I have not tried doing this, but being a router it has ethernet ports. I would think they would do what you’re hoping.

Send some here please?

Marker seems plausible. The casing, which is what it was written on, isn’t fired through the barrel. It’s ejected after, usually out the side. As far as size, writing ‘depose’ on say a 9mm cartridge seems pretty small, but not impossible, you could do it. Challenging, but not impossible. The casing is about .75" long and .4-ish inches diameter, and usually steel or brass, to give you an idea.

I hear what you’re saying, I think.

I think that’s why I meant in principle. Due process ought to come quickly. No, the police in this country don’t have a good track record regarding people with mental health concerns.

The reality of the situation makes things far darker. If we lived in a place in which a law like this could exist and truly help people, I’d be for it, especially in the absence of even better scenarios. Ideally, no laws at all perhaps?

Your points here certainly don’t make me more likely to support this bill! Which it sounds like you agree.

No. Just no. Seriously.

Think about red flag laws. Think about the person who likes guns, and shoots for fun, maybe they hunt too. Lawfully. Then they have a mental health break. They get help, but the state, and you could argue rightfully, temporarily takes their guns. OK. They were a threat to themselves, and the law in place set guidelines resulting in 6 months of no guns, no ammo, and cannot make any purchases.

Important note: this person is NOT a criminal, and hasn’t broken any laws. They would be breaking the law by buying a gun, or ammo, or possessing such during the 6 months to a year (that’s a range in Minnesota).

Honestly, I am a fan of red flag laws in principle. It’s a good idea all told. Now, we’re going to place 3D printers in the same category? What if this person’s favorite hobby, something that is helping them recover, is 3D printing? You, the state, in the interest of preserving health, are now forcibly eroding it by edging toward treating a 3D printer as a gun.

Yes, this comes from a true story, not in New York. This bill really shouldn’t leave committee.

I have been doing kiwix, thanks though!

Yes! OK that’s a start! Thanks!

All this is well and good, but I have an idea, with nowhere to go with it.

Anyone know where I can go and what data I can gather if I have a NAS and several terabytes of space that I’m doing nothing with?

Is there a project out there maybe torrenting or something scientific data so that it’s everywhere? I’ve been trying to search and I am at the point that I’m not sure I’m searching for the right thing…

Pretty sure there is. Went for a massage recently, and ‘this is not a sexual encounter’ is explicitly in the terms of service you have to sign when making an appointment.

I thought he lived in Oregon now?

I had an aunt and uncle who, when I was a kid maybe 12, were not well off. They got my brother and I each this toyset that was like make pretend welding. It had a hand tool that, if I remember, let you weld with this soft plastic to make things with the parts in the kit.

It also had a chamber near the nozzle that spun and contained something that made a bunch of sparks.

Well… The thing kept zapping and burning me. Kinda hurt. So, being 12, I complained about it.

And of course, I was an ingrate for not liking the toy they could afford instead of a Lego set or something. The worst of it was I got what my parents meant, my aunt and uncle were kind of ashamed. But it burned me.

Hell I thought it was really cool, and even said so, but I couldn’t keep playing with it due to, you know, my hand being red and kinda cut up.

Just bad times all around.

And no, no one suggested put a glove on, and it did not come with one.

“When the rich rob the poor, it’s called business. When the poor fight back, it’s called violence.”

There are so many things that just shouldn’t be digitized. I get it but… Just no.

Sure, but I think it’s also where you’re alone. I’ve been alone for weeks a few times. I enjoyed it… But I had my freedom. It is horrifyingly long when you have zero choice.

Prozac and therapy.

Which honestly, is working. If only I arrived at this method sanely, rather than nearly ending it all and winding up in a hospital.

Prozac.

Please go see a doctor.

I put a gun to my head, ready to end it all.

Woke up in a hospital. No drugs involved.

I drove myself there. The gun was in the glove compartment. Apparently, I self admitted through ED.

I remember NOTHING from gun to my head to waking up in the hospital.

Not sure if that qualifies as near death, but I think I was.

I am better now. That was years ago, I came close again recently, but this time I have answers about myself and a place to start.

Lilo and Stitch!

Can we go out on a limb and say the father is even being sort of abusive here? I mean… Here’s a very dangerous thing that can cause people to die. Go have fun.

I get it isn’t that simple but… I have a kid. I also have guns. My kid wants to learn to shoot one day.

There’s a big heavy door, and a lock. No way for my kid to access them without me. No access.

There’s criticizing another’s parenting choices, and then there’s abuse and I am starting to think this is abusive.
