Worst case, bystanders get hit by the crossfire. There's no situation in which this could have gone better than it did. I think this is the likely scenario in far more cases than pro-2A people would like to admit.

Anyway, thinking about this again today. No particular reason why.

So all that being said: a guy pointed a gun at me, asked for my keys, I gave them to him, and he took off. How would this had gone differently if I had been armed? Best case scenario, I shoot him and have to live with that guilt for the rest of my life. Average case, we shoot each other.

I could have easily become a concealed carry guy. I didn't for a few reasons. I'm a lib now, they're expensive, I suffer from depression, I know that statistically I'm way more likely to shoot myself (accidentally or intentionally) than need it to defend myself.

I grew up conservative in Alaska. I've attended a bunch of NRA gun events. Boy Scout hikes usually included at least one armed adult in case we ran into a bear. I was a pretty decent shot when I was 15. And so on. I very much grew up in a gun-positive culture.

I’ve also noticed this. Joeyguessr was a Rails app, and copilot was able to autocomplete entire files for me. Whereas at my day job writing C# it’s mildly useful at best

I bought this after seeing your post about it and it’s been working great btw

You don’t need to explain to me why the church I left 10 years ago is bad. I’m just pleasantly surprised when I see something that’s not awful

When I visited my sister at BYU last year I was pleasantly surprised at how many posters I saw around campus for diversity initiatives and other “woke” stuff. Feels like some degree of that kind of culture is inevitable if you’re running a respectable institution, even one with conservative roots

It was funny the first time, surely it will still be funny the hundredth time

Do you know who you’re replying to?

“VSCode licenses” really underlines that these are a bunch of 19 year olds who don’t know that classic Visual Studio exists

Ohhhh installing metasploit is too hard I need to install a whole operating system about it

raidz expansion 👀 feels like that’s been “coming soon” for years

we need a tech crash to get rid of these guys and re-empower the two other cohorts: nerds who love computers, and people who treat it like any other 40h/wk office job

being a nerd once meant you were socially ostracized for being obsessed with every little detail of model trains. in 2024 america being in a nerd in many communities means bragging that you self-lobotomize yourself because you're too lazy to read anything

OSCAR is the currently-maintained fork. As annoying as it is to wear a contraption to bed, I had fun poring through the data every morning for the first few weeks and seeing how different settings affected me
