As opposed to the European solution, where you know there's explosives in that field over there but you only deal with the stuff that floats to the surface each year.

I would strongly recommend cracking the DRM on those when you have the chance.

As long as you pay some minimal level of attention this shouldn't be a problem. 10s delays between stages won't prevent something with a minimum TWR of 2 and 4000m/s of combined dv from reaching orbit.

I think you're missing the distinction. It's not that bureaucracy caused the meltdown, it's that the bureaucratic reaction to the meltdown was the source of the damage.

Getting the tax stamp takes several months, unfortunately. And you need a new stamp if you want to transfer it to another person.

The regulations that allowed for private warships and artillery? Those gun control regulations? If there are actual gun control regulations from the post-revolutionary period, I'm sure that they'll be used to defend NY's and

Don't forget "machine guns aren't weapons of war" which is also quite a bit of a head scratcher!

I'd personally put US v. Miller on the list instead of DC v. Heller. Wickard v. Filburn deserves a mention too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Miller https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wi

There's two general reasons for a person to get a vaccine. One is that it makes them healthier, and the other is that it makes society healthier. If the person gets to choose, then there's a natural counterbalance against things

It depends on perspective. We in the west generally have a "no innocent lives lost ever" perspective. But sometimes "minimize total societal damage" looks pretty good too. Is it better to live in a world where 1000 murde

> Says who? I understand the core principles of absolute free speech. I just don't agree. This is a very absolutist (and americano-centered) view of what liberties encompass. It should be obvious, but the people in power will not wa

Free speech must include the things people do not want you to say. If it only includes the things people would be ok with you saying, there would be no need to protect it as a right.

Burning Kerosene emits as much co2 as producing it consumes, but kerosene is massively easier to transport and store in existing infrastructure. (It's literally jet fuel)

Define "first", "violence" and for good measure "group". Do things ever reset, for instance? Are some wrongs too far in the past?

That's only including celebratory gunfire incidents, and only in the United States.

A lot of ammo is military surplus of one form or another, and the military doesn't have quite as much use for blanks.

It's trivially true though? If you had a functioning justice system, the lynchers would be arrested and it wouldn't happen again. It's also true in more significant ways, in that lynchings happened because people felt that cr
