This is a much more nuanced view than a “total ban” honytawk suggested. I completely agree this should be the norm.

There’s definitely many sane countries that have “strict” gun control. But that’s very different to a “total ban”.

That is definitely not true. Even in Australia, which has some of the strictest gun laws, we don’t have a “total ban”. If you have a legitimate reason to have a firearm, you can get a license. And yes, legitimate reasons can include “guns are fun” - it just means that if that is your reason, the gun is only used at a gun club, and you can’t walk around the streets with it.

Edit: reading your other posts, it seems you mean “carried in population centres”. Stored and/or used in controlled environments within population centres, and even open carried by appropriately licences individuals (eg police) is still a far cry from a “total ban”.

What country has a “total” ban on firearms?

The emulators contain Potassium Benzoate

The XKCD one is interesting, but seems to be missing the transfer to/from the storage medium sent by FedEx.

If I want to move data from my computer to yours over the internet, the internet bandwidth between our devices/networks is the main consideration. If I’m FedExing SD cards or HDDs, I’ve also gotta take into account the transfer times to get the data ONTO those devices.

I wonder how the analysis would fair when taking into account:

• speed of internet
• TB/kg of storage
• storage medium transfer speeds

But of course, they’re only looking at one small aspect of the overall issue. Just focus on the airline industry, rather than actually having decent privacy legislation that prevented any industry from (legally) misusing individuals data?

For me, the hard part isn’t driving on the “wrong” side of the road. You pick that up pretty quickly. You need to think a bit more when turning, but it’s not so hard. For me the harder part is driving from the “wrong” side of the car. I may have almost mounted a curb or two because I forgot where I was in the lane.

All, team, friends, everyone, folks (preferably prefixed with “howdy”)…

As a Australian, I tend to shy away from USAisms as a matter of course, but I 100% agree. English lacks a formal plural form of “you”, and while Australia has its own informal variation (“youse”), I’m a big fan of y’all.

ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, meaning it’s outside the Five, Nine or 14 Eyes jurisdictions

British overseas territories are outside the UK’s jurisdiction now? 🤔

I like to think that if enough people ended up taking 10 minutes on a support call to validate someone’s identity, when it should take 10 seconds, maybe the companies would learn to stop asking stupid security questions. I like to think that, but in reality nothing will change.

Ah, yes, D7k3y2mHy5lZhbyHa St, I remember it well.

I used to have an email address “[email protected]”. I thought it was really cool… until I kept having issues logging into sites that didn’t understand how email worked. I now use “[email protected]”, and I just confuse humans who think I work at their company, and that I don’t understand how email works…

Wow. I know Australia Post sucks, but this is bad even for them!

No, that was a different one.
