If you own a weapon which is not legally possible to use, there's no point in allowing posession.
You own a car. However, disease strikes you legally blind. Then...?
You get someone else to drive your car? I'd drive my grandma around all the time in her car after she went blind.

This sort of religious reverence for the US constitution boggles my mind.
Law is supposed to balance public good versus personal freedom, but people constantly argue that anyone everywhere should be able to get a gun, no questions asked, because of the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. It's ludicrous.
Hm. So, debate over several days regarding the second amendment to the US constitution. I have been trying to get clarification on the notion that restricting ownership of any weapon is an infringement. I asked if that meant they believed nuclear weapons should be purchasable by private citizens.
They called that a strawman.
I'm not sure how it could be a strawman.
there's a not-insignificant number of "gun people" that think there shouldn't be a limit to what a person can buy. Like, if a guy can afford an ICBM and the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of hardware to make that ICBM useable, he should be able to. The general idea is that if the US government deems the guy with the nuke a threat they should just bomb him.
It's one of those extreme libertarian people-will-govern-themselves sort of things.

Also good recent SF was Hyperion, actually. More like a few short stories, but all decently interesting. Hewed a bit too close to Canterbury Tales but fuck it not like I paid attention when I was reading Canterbury Tales.

confiscating a nuke under judicial oversight is not kosher, but bombing the guy is? Wow.

Someone at work decided to throw a pizza party. Hooray.
Now I've blown my entire day's worth of calories on lunch. Boooooo.
If you guys catch me eating paper tonight, do not judge.
what are you using to track calories?
My brain. I keep it approximate and I don't eat much outside of meals. I don't want anything more official because it is my personality to treat any diet aids as the enemy and attempt to game them.

Man, given all of the grief you go through with an NFA gun, I can only imagine the ATF would pretty much assign you a personal agent to follow you 24/7 in that case.

I liked Hyperion a lot but I'll be honest, Fall of Hyperion was more my speed. What with the high political tension and the mysteries and the massive space battles.

man, it is totally lame that Scottrade doesn't support DRIP. I think any new stocks/ETFs I get might be through Etrade in spite of the higher transaction costs. Or I can live dangerously and start fucking around with options even though I know nothing about them.
Nope. The hospital uses it for stamping for doctors.
Of course the obvious solution is a Java applet that runs on the hospitals website that we have access to through a VPN.
All of clicking a god damned button and display text. Seriously first year students at ITT Tech could do better.
I don't know who they have designing this shit.
Medical software is shit. I can relay hours and hours of headaches and stories about the dental software we use. The crap that can destroy itself during an update so much to the point you have to reinstall. And if it happens on your server, whelp you are reinstalling the whole office and hoping that the update works the next time which it can.
Or the fact that the wireless interoral cameras actually run on their own wireless network that the computer will try to connect to 25% of the time.
But hey at least ours lets up go out months in advance in the scheduling book. Some only let you move your schedule one day at a time. So you want to make an appointment 3 months out, you get to flip pages for about 90 days worth of scheduling.
The thing is, I write EHR software myself.
Seriously, our office is running on the software I wrote. Software that, I might add, isn't a java applet and if I needed other offices to use it, I could easily port it to HTML/PHP/Whateverthefuckbesides java.
Still, that's terrible. Makes me wish I was actually in this to sell my EHR, I could make soooo much money. Billing is the stupidest stupid fuck shit though, though, scheduling and records/notes are easy as snotballs in a snotball factory.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

turns out calling forth the militia is great and all when you're all fighting British taxes but surprisingly enough reception is tepid when you're fighting insurrectionists protesting your own taxes

That initial story about the Crucifix really got me interested. It's got hope and loss and hubris and sacrifice and all very nicely executed and creepy.

The moment Dresden Codak commits to telling any story in a reasonable amount of time and with panels designed to help instead of hinder that storytelling, I will be right on board. Right now I feel his attractive art masks a lot of significant flaws.

But yeah I should grab Fall of Hyperion.
I liked all four books, but a not insignificant number of people didn't like Endymion or Rise of Endymion, so YMMV.

Thanks, but I'd like to be much better.
I don't know if diary comics are a thing I should continue to do. Maybe.
That's after the fact though. Also cars are not legally classified as a weapon by default.
YES! Keep doing them! They're awesome.
You get someone else to drive your car? I'd drive my grandma around all the time in her car after she went blind.

Then store it in that place where it's legal.
They're a lot of fun. I mean as long as you're drawing every day you're going to get better.
this will make you feel better about stuff. It's safe for work, just HUGE

Opposites hifive!
Worked with Shay's Rebellion.
I don't give a shit. The Constitution is used as it's own justification, exactly the same way religious zealots use the bible.
It's just a piece of paper and proves nothing.
The right to bear arms should be justified with reason and logic, not "It. Was. Written."
