In some states, like NH, the default is that you can even hunt on other people's (privately-owned) land, unless it is posted. As a landowner, you are encouraged to allow free, recreational use of your land by others.

France also has very strong gun controls. It is of course, more complicated than that. And, by the way, a man shot and killed 12 people in the UK in 2010 with legally held rifles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria_

"Cops are trained to push peoples buttons and make them lose control" They are? I could see why, say, detectives interviewing a suspect might use that approach to try to get them to say something incriminating, but for regular cop

I'm sorry to be that guy, but the lack of contrast makes this comment difficult to read.

Yes, you can list (and listen to) your Echo voice command history, and delete them. Frustratingly, there is no bulk delete that I have found - you have to go through them individually.

A cautionary tale: Echo starts recording when it hears the "wake" word ('Alexa' or 'Amazon'), but it can mistake other words or parts of speech for a wake word (for example, consider how close the phrase "

I think the confusion stems from your verbing of "wall".

A stall warning occurs when the angle of attack (angle between the wing and the airflow) is too high to maintain lift. There is a separate instrument for detecting this (which can also be disabled by ice build up, but appeared to be working

That will integrate other people's changes into your branch. But until you also merge your branch into master (and/or all other branches), you are not integrating your changes .

That's really a function of your QA process, not anything specific to branching strategies. If you can automate everything such that continuous delivery (or even deployment) is possible - great. If not, deliver at whatever pace your QA

"Sure you can invest hours of your life setting up CI, then writing code, not testing it locally[...]" Maybe I've misunderstood, but why aren't you testing it locally? With trunk based development you make your changes,

I appreciate the backhanded compliment but my intentions are pure :-)

I don't consider not-branching to be a radical approach. If you are using branches you really aren't doing CI, because you aren't integrating continuously.

Or don't use branches at all. Develop on trunk/master with continuous integration. It reduces work-in-progress, exposes conflicts sooner and has a host of other knock-on benefits.

There's nothing wrong with being the only employee - if it's just you, say so. Talking in the third person and using 'us' and 'we' is irritating.

Why use strings at all? Guid.NewGuid() is built in, and way faster. Given that the C# code is almost willfully unoptimized, I'm not sure what the benchmark was meant to prove.
