Servicing a gun with a round in the chamber is negligent unless you’re in active combat.

There’s no context provided, but I can’t see any situation where you service a loaded firearm and point it at your thigh.

I took the test and I’m not particularly surprised at my result.

I’m strongly of the opinion that a lot of people simply do not have the bandwidth to be deeply involved in politics, even if it is in their best interests. We have so many people in the US drowning in debt, stress, unresolved mental health crises, and uncertainty about how they can afford the next big repair on their house/appliances/car/body that they do not have the luxury of spending time and energy advocating for the changes that would improve their lives.

I think of it like the airplane oxygen masks - you need to secure your own before you help others. It’s hard to expect people to organize and push for monumental change when they are a paycheck or two away from homelessness. I don’t see an easy way forward unless a lot of people are willing to sacrifice.

Nobody is willing to take on the risk to help their neighbors 🤷🏻‍♀️

If I had an empty home that I was paying a mortgage on, I’m not sure the bank or insurance company would be too happy with that either, which doesn’t help.

Some systemic change would be required

I have the same feelings. I’m leaning towards preferring no cameras though. Data is cheap to store and never* gets deleted. Bad actors can comb through that information after the fact and use it for whatever purposes they want, even if it was initially taken/given with good intentions. Walking by a Ring camera now gets a mandatory consent-free facial scanning attempt. These cameras were not initially sold with this being a feature set. Who knows what bullshit they will be used for down the line

I’d imagine being underaged and unable to consent makes it rape

I need to find a spell scroll of this

Sucks that being anything other than straight is a health risk for large segments of the population.

That being said, enabling or fostering that same risk isn’t in their best interest. If they’re unable to be the change they want to see in the world, then who do they expect to stand up for them?

For the (probably small) subset of people who both own a Disney lightsaber and bench testing equipment and more! Great information for anybody looking into real-world RFID implementation, complete with signal analysis and general reverse engineering
