@thesuperpapagai yes thats fair kids being shot in general, as well as being murdered by other means, is quite common.

Partitioning it based on thr tool used to kill though seems counterproductive to me, especially when those tools are equally used to protect and prevent deaths as well.

It absolutely would not hold up in court. But just as i think any bans on assault weapons is unconstitutional i am free to feel the same about banning access to vehicals. My interpritation of the constitution doesnt have to match that of ghe supreme court of the day, just as todays supreme court interprits thr constitution radically different than earlier supreme courts.

@lupyuen i have a feeling thag will be an ongoing process for a while for you. Must be fun though, i widh i did more EE stuff.

Me im exhausted, been working too long and too hard to get this company merged and onto the stock market, its draining. I just arrived in thailand for 5 weeks though so hopefully the food and change of scene here will be a refresher.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

As a side note there is the constitutional "right to travel" which garubtees a citizen the free movement between states. One could argue restricting ones access to conveyence is an infringement, albeit indirect, on ones constituional right to interstate travel

@realcaseyrollins @pj @rrb

I am not claiming there is a constitutional right. I am claiming that i consider it a right based on first principles.

Many states dont require boating licenses, works out just fine for the boaters. You also dont need a license to fly an ultralight plane, even with a passanger, works out well there too.

As for high rises, same thing, make sure someone is checking the highrise meets code in its planning and building phase, as long as it does its safe to build regardless of ghe credentials of the person who designed it.

We have countless examples of this sort of stuff being very workable and safe without needing licensing by having other mechanisms that ensure safety.

@swagpussc i spent 3 months in the maldives diving with manta of this size. They regularly dive bomb you like this. I think thry like to play with you, they are very smart creatures.

@louiscouture honestly it seems most nonamerican speaking countries have a much nicer representation of moderates.

@settinger designed and printed a comic sans typewriter ball so we're testing it on my IBM selectric this afternoon and it totally does work!

@floatybirb just for god sake make sure its not a human, you will regret it if you do!

@swagpussc is this from my dive i posted a few months back? Looks just like it.

Vulagar latin: "Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?" -- "Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just happy to see me?"

I may be the only one who gets this joke fully (vulgar here refers to the fact that it is both informal latin and vulgar in the traditional sense)
