@freemo
> violence is only a last resort and one I've almost never had to use even when justified.

Yeah, this looks like "I feel like i won if i took a hit and solved it without hitting back"
That's the stuff.

@freemo Ah, the engagement i hoped for, and i hope you value the reply with my own thoughts:

To love, i improved. I did badly, maybe was clumsy and incompetent, but i improved. Especially in the sense of loving without a personal connection, to love for "i think this is something special", not because there was someone close to me.

To live gently, i improved. I was rather angry (rightfully so, but it was not helpful) as a youth, but i think i am getting the knack of not pulling someone who is not directly responsible into my outrage.

Things not meant for me? I really struggle with this one. What does it mean? Is living in a world where people work together instead of competing not meant for me? Who would decide what is meant for me?
Maybe this is more of a translation error, it would make more sense to me if it was "let go of things where consent is not given". That i would be able to say to "i improved". I do conscientiously check if something is where someone else has no obligation to me and back off if i get told no instead of trying to make everything right even if someone does not want that.

@freemo And how would you rate yourself on those?

If God existed, and had a gender, which one would you prefer it to be?

Part 3 (more #France riot photos)

Part 2 (riots in #France after a teen got shot by police)

Want to turn me on and you don't have sunglasses?

Send me wildfire and riot photos instead.

"Deplatforming is great until it happens to you"

This assumes you are speaking to a group of people who have never been deplatformed. But this is far from the case.

There isn't any politics free abstract solution. Deplatforming a fun video game forum because "video games cause violence" is bad.

Deplatforming nazis is good.

It's very messy and we will need to have discussions about the boundary forever.

"Just allow everything" isn't a solution and it doesn't even really do what it claims

@freemo I would if I had run into half those chemistries! I'm a HUGE fan of NiMh though. LiPo is amazing for it's unlimited form factors and unparalleled power density.

NiMh wins in the cold, it wins when it comes to overcharge (which lends to really flexible trickle charging options with tiny solar), it's form factor means you can add it to anything that would take 3 double A's and they are just neat overall.

LiFePo4 however is quickly becoming my new favourite!

@Clementulus When I traveled to Israel about 2 years ago at the border they asked "Do you have any weapons?"... I responded, while flexing "Just these guns!"... long story short they took me in the back and questioned me for like 3 hours before they let me in :)

@freemo the hands attached to these guns
P.S : I live in Canada

Ok so watched a few videos and, as expected, the actual answer is nuanced.

When shooting ballistic gel with no MDF, and using a FMJ bullet, then the 9mm indeed does have noticably more penetration. However if you are in a situation where you dont want deep penetration then you would be using hollow point...

When shooting hollow point on ballistic gel without MDF then 9mm and 0.45 ACP has exactly the same penetration. I t should be noted the 0.45 ACP while having the same penetration also did more damage to the gel in terms of cavity size... So in this particular test the .45 is superior as it has more stopping power for the same penetration.

When using MDF in front of the ballistic gel, however, we find the .45 ACP is significantly more penetrating than the 9mm.

so would seem that while the FMJ certainly gave results consistent with your claim, the more real world scenario of the hollow point in fact was counter to your claim and consistent with mine, that the ACP will be more penetrating than the 9mm.
