Could be, the shorter barrel would be a good indicator.. hard to say, I'm no expert either.
@strawberryfieldsforever Last time I tried to get on a plane in america some dude was debating if he needed to stick his finger up my butt or not. My first thought wasnt "wow, I feel free!"
@strawberryfieldsforever Funny, I dont feel very independent :)
I'm not sure its true that without religion there are more ideologies. If anything there is just one, atheism. So we are talking 100 different denominations vs 1 ideology, atheism.
I can only speculate though, things like this are hard to prove. Wars are certainly less common today than in the past, and religion is less common. But is that just corelation or is that causation is another matter.
@Hyolobrika@mastodon.org.uk
To be honest I am not sure christianity has been all that unifying. I cant begin to count the number of wars between different christian denominations, not to mention jews, muslims, and every other religion.
That said I dont think it is any better now that religion is less common. In fact I'd say we are probably just as guilty of this. Humans kill and start wars. If there is religion involved we use that as our excuse, if there isnt, we find a different excuse.

@SecondJon Oh and to be clear on this point:
> You at first seemed to write off the idea of that kind of list... I'm sure it exists but it's not really relevant. Now I read you saying that of course it exists, it's super relevant, there's always and forever been two, and anyone who is educated would never think otherwise.
Yes I was trying to writeoff their existance as a pointless tangent.. they exist, but have no relevance to the fact that there is also the list of people who die **of** covid.. the fact that many agencies keep a second list of people who die who happened to have covid is not particularly damning... keeping such an additional list is not a bad thing. There are different lists of that nature
@SecondJon I think you are missing the point.. all states are required by the CDC to keep both sets of numbers, one of all people with COVID who died, one with people who died of covid. This is a standard, every state has had to do it.
You can go to the CDC and **See** the numbers maintained for both lists for every state including colorado, and you can see both lists as maintained since before they were "caught"
So all you are really saying is that before they were "caught" they displayed one of those lists, after they were "caught" they displayed both lists.. but even your own quote you just shared says "presented", not that they will start keeping both lists, only that both lists will be presented on their dashboard.
I'm not sure why it isnt clear that this is a non-issue. They didnt put both lists on their dashboard before a certain date (but kept both lists as the CDC required), then later they added the other list to the dashboard, nothing more nothing less.
@Bradley_JF Yea exactly... but its function over form I guess. You wont find many all cherry mx green key keyboards, and if you remove the keys the design makes it really easy to clean.. But yea she aint much of a looker
Ive got two model m's in philly and the netherlands. Sadly the USA one need a little TLC as one or two keys arent working. But I do enjoy that. I think it may have been more clicky too which I love.
Here is the board of keys I bought:

@tym I plan to read it, but i was behind myphone when i first responded. Thanks.
Yea ive never found key caps i liked though. Retro round keycaps with vim hotkeys on them woukd be ideal :)
@tym
Perhaps. But i recall him once saying that bombafil did represent something but he wanted it to be a mystery
@guizzy
What about a coin that was virtually garunteed not to have its value crash?
Ya know... as much as I love the keys and feel of my keyboard, for a 200$ keyboard I kind of would expect it to look cooler.. you'd think it was cheap to look at it, plain black with white LED lighting. But its the cherry mx green buttons that really determined the price... and, it is well built in terms of water resistance and ease of cleaning... but yea, I would have liked a more original look and feel.
I've got my old cherry mx blue keyboard (some clicky keys as green just less actuation force). I might give it a good cleaning and find some use for her, I miss her.
@realcaseyrollins Yea, the real irony (and i guess from a christian perspective it kinda fits the devil as a deceiver) is that that people who claim to be the most against identifying people by the color of their skin are also the ones doing it.
