  • It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused and supported unlawful government.

  • So what your saying is we need to give people more weapons to even up the fight.

  • What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?

    Jump

  • Electric screwdriver. Have used mine so much over the years it was well worth the £35 I paid. It won't do what an impact driver does, but the same can be said the other way around too.

    You could also get some running shoes, shorts an T and become a runner.

  • Clothes who's primary purpose seems to be to let others know what brand it is. As if I'm supposed to be impressed you bought a Jack Jones t shirt. Couldn't you just have bought a nice T-shirt without the branding? No because it's all about being a brand whore - trashy.

  • What are you using to play a guitar/instrument while listening to a song, looping, and slowing down the track to learn by ear?

    Jump

  • Not for learning by ear, but Guitar Pro is really good for slowing down and looping. Songsterr is also good.

  • Have you ever been rejected just because of your height?

  • She helpfully also saved your back a little

    If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

    Jump

  • You know you can get a lot of protein from non-meat sources, right?

  • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

    Jump

  • I have a teeny tiny screwgate carabina from about 1997 that I use as a key ring.

  • Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?

    Jump

  • On my app I can't see it. It maybe you made someone else's day.

  • Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.

  • Especially if its a few years down the line when you're already a few grand in to their system

  • Thoughts on the recent Swiss law that might require ProtonVPN to start blocking certain domains?

  • How many internet connected devices do you think there are in a typical 2 adult 2 kid household, excluding phones? Here are TVs, tablets, Chromebooks, laptops, game consoles etc etc. Kids don't jus have phones - mine don't and there's still a raw internet connection to almost all these devices.

    And out of all of that only one has good controls for parents and believe me when I say this, setting it up was torture.

    If you want to block YouTube to specific devices and not others its a really difficult thing to do. Especially when Big Tech is working against you - block the YouTube URLs on a Pihole and you'll find that the play store also doesn't work. There are plenty of dark patterns in all these things. Because these companies do not want to help by blocking access to the marketing bucks of kids.

    There is no simple solution to all of it unless you either live in the past or you parent so 1984ly that it'll exhaust you and alienate your kids from you.

  • Your notion of the modern world is terribly quaint

  • What's your method of enjoying (or at least tolerating) physical exercise?

    Jump

  • I'm trying to do stuff that's quick that I can do every day. I do pushups before my morning shower and some squats whilst I brush my teeth. Do it every day, I feel better for it and it only takes like 3 minutes. You can do extra sets around the house if you have a spare 30-60 seconds too.

  • As a very tech savvy parent I have to say that setting up an inhibited, monitored and controlled internet for specific devices and users is insanely difficult. The average person stands no chance. But sure, blame the parents instead of the technology as it is sold and delivered.

  • Do you believe in free will?

    Jump

  • No I don't.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Wow, I would never considering allocating so much memory to a single service I run at home.

    This guy has a lot of memory in his server

  • What do you use for listening to podcasts?

  • I have Podgrab setup, but I mostly just use PodcastAddict on my phone
