@hasmis This is a perfect example of how uneducated you are on the topic... wow...

A HDD is a measure of the amount of energy it would take to keep a space warm... Lower HDD represents **hotter** weather..

Literally what you posted is proof of global warming, but because you completely misunderstood the graph you thought you were cherry picking something that debunked global warming... funny that.

It is so bizarre to see someone actively cherry pick to support an absurd scientific conclusion and even when they realize they were reading the chart upside down and proves they were wrong you will, I am certain, continue to try to justify your nonsense.

@thatguyoverthere

Yea its an invalid argument in so many ways.. for one its just not relevant, and for another the founding fathers were rather explicit the constitution intended "we the people" to mean everyone.

@mike805 @lmrocha @pj

@thatguyoverthere

We dont need a definition for people, we all know what a person is and the founding fathers made it very clear they intended that word to include all people.

@mike805 @lmrocha @pj

@pj

QOTO is a place for **respectful** debate... lets not do that please.

@thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

@pj @lmrocha @mike805

No one aside from a few rich people with a handful of antiques, owns any automatic weapons... they are virtually non-existant and contribute to effectively 0 crimes due to their rarity and being illegal to produce new ones or sell new ones made after the 70s.

@pj

It was not narrow, at least not in the constitution. the founding fathers made rather clear, at least many of them, that they wanted many to have equal rights but sadly the states in many cases, and people, just werent ready for it. So it had to be explicitly added as an amendment.

The quotes from the founding fathers during and after the writing of the constitution was quite clear that their definition of People was in fact extraordinarily broad for the time period and very much they wanted to include blacks in that definition (and likely other minorities).

Some quotes:

“There is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it [slavery].” – George Washington, 1786

"Article the Sixth. There shall be neither Slavery nor involuntary Servitude in the said territory" -- James Madison, at the constitutional convention address prohibition against slavery as an article.

“We have seen the mere distinction of color made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man.” – James Madison (also at the constitutional convention)

“Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of Heaven on a country." -- George Mason

“The omitting the Word [slave] will be regarded as an Endeavor to conceal a principle of which we are ashamed.” – John Dickinson, draft of notes for a speech at the Constitutional Convention

“Every measure of prudence, therefore, ought to be assumed for the eventual total extirpation of slavery from the United States…I have, through my whole life, held the practice of slavery in…abhorrence.” – John Adams, 1819

@lmrocha

I woukd argue licenses and insurance shouldnt be allowed in their current form either... but arguing one thing is valid simply because some other thing exists is pretty weak argument IMO

@thatguyoverthere @mike805

@lmrocha

I explained in a great deal of detail exactly why its invalid (unlike with granger causality it is very hard to rule out or normalize for confounding properties).. randomized fail when you are trying to decipher large graphical models betause you dont have independent propabilities dominating the graph. We use granger causality for this sort of stuff for very good reason.

@icedquinn @mike805

@lmrocha

Didnt you read the part i repeated like 10 times now where i pointed out you must comparr the effects on gun laws using causality tests like granger causality?

You said you understood statistics but if you keep getting this really basic point confused i dont think you have enough expiernce (or maybe are too biased) to really analyze the situation. That said id be willing to help, can you tell me how you would repjrase the question to say the same thing using valid ststistical analysis using granger causality? If you are confused id be happy to help explain it but im not sure yojr trying to learn here, maybe im misreading you though, i do want to give you the benefit of the doubt this is a good faith discussion.

@mike805

@pj @thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

Surr thry do, thry explicitly state the right shall not be infringed. Pretty clear that means all people.

@lmrocha

It also isnt a mstter of fact. You have some guns explicitly engineered for sport and in competitions and is not designed to kill as a primary purpose.

@mike805

@pj

Did you miss the part where i said there are a few very angique ones left but the manufacture, and sale is forbidden for weapons made after the 70s?

@lmrocha @mike805

@pj @thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

Also no, there was never a well regulated criteria. That was an exemplarly clause as is explicitly stated, not a qulifying clause. Thry have been quotes countless time saying as much.

@pj

People have literally banned entire classes of guns such as handguns and imaginary "assault rifles".. not only arr thry coming for our guns, they are explicit about it...

@thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

@thatguyoverthere

The fact that you can make a fully automatic gun in a few hours out of scrap parts, or 3d print one dmakes the whole gun control argument very moot, but thats a separate issue.

@icedquinn @mike805 @lmrocha

@thatguyoverthere

Guns are engineered to do one thing and one thing only... to shoot a piece of lead in a straight line very fast... anything else it can do is the human, not the gun, including where that piece of lead is headed to.

@mike805 @lmrocha

@lmrocha

We share a lot in common. I too left the DoD over moral objections.
