We don’t say “injection by wire” or “fuel by wire” though, we call it Electronic Fuel Injection.

Huh? This is from July 2023. There have been many of these proposed before, and possibly a few since. Looks like you need a license to distribute files these days anyway.

I spent a few years designing 3D printed guns for fun, none of them were effective or well known, and I never manufactured any myself. I did that that as a teenager, before there were laws, and it’s what got me into engineering before I pursued a degree. This was pretty early on in hobbyist 3D printing, it was all super experimental. Ultimately, 3D printing is just one method of manufacturing - there are many out there, and honestly the barrier of entry is low regardless of what method you choose. If someone has the skills to run a 3D printer, they can buy the hardware store components to make a gun regardless.

The better bet for legislation would be to more comprehensively ban unlicensed manufacturing, whatever the method, and more strictly regulate which parts may be bought unlicensed (barrels, trigger assembly, magazine, etc). On a personal note, I think it’s too deeply engrained in American culture to shift anyway, but I hope we keep trying to change the world for the better l (stricter background checks, more stringent home safety requirements, etc.)

I see. You’ve added more context to your comment - thanks for the insight, I’ll stop engaging for now, as it seems that wasn’t your intent in making this post. Thanks for your time, and I wish you well.

I’m sorry if the church has hurt you before, truly, but I’m not seeing any reasoning behind your position. Care to elaborate?

At risk of taking some bait…

I profess a faith as a Christian, but am not a theologian. Grain of salt and all that, but we do exist lol

Unfortunately sorting “real” Christians from posers is difficult, and that’s how people can get away with using the “Christian” label, because who can judge but God?

That being said, when you think about whether someone is a “real” Christian who’s just not doing a good job, vs a poser who’s just using the name, consider whether they exhibit some of the very clearly articulated attributes of being a Christian, such as the Seven Virtues. If someone consistently calls themselves Christian, but makes no effort to improve in these ways, that might be a good sign they’re not genuine.

So to your point, using Christianity for social gain is antithetical to actually being a Christian.

I’m terms of Organized Christianity, and cases in which it has shielded those who do evil, that’s a big, messy topic. Sufficient to say, the church is wholely responsible for not taking it seriously for so long. It breaks my heart that it happens at all, and brings great shame that there are people who supposedly profess the same faith and yet allow these things to happen. The church can and should do better to hold one another accountable and to protect the vulnerable.

I’ve found great success using a hardened ssh config with a limited set of supported Cyphers/MACs/KexAlgorithms. Nothing ever gets far enough to even trigger fail2ban. Then of course it’s key only login from there.

For sure, there could be one person with 1.1 and 10 people with 0.99, but the average will still be 1.0

“Half our students are below average!” kinda vibes - KDR necessarily means that for every person with 1.5, there is someone with a 0.67, that’s just how the math works. If I’m anywhere near 1.0, I’m happy.
