If those are the choices, it doesn’t matter who “wins”, we all lose.

The amount of people that don’t know there’s no ‘h’ in Nicolas Cage is too god damn high.

While the pollutant volume is smaller, the exhaust is typically worse that a car/truck: https://gearjunkie.com/motors/motorcycle-vs-vehicle-emissions

That’s the Shia-Hulussy.

“Gun people” != “all gun owners”

They didn’t say “all gun owners” they said “gun people” which to anyone with awareness can infer it means the people who tie their identity to their weapons.

What a shitty analogy to women, I’m not even going to touch that.

Would it have been clearer if the original comment said “irresponsible gun people”, sure, but it wasn’t and self-centered people want to be the victim when they haven’t understood they aren’t even in the group.

I’m Dutch and even I could glean the intended meaning from the context.

Just because you have a firearm doesn’t make you part of the “gun people” generalization.

Do you fantasize about getting to shoot your gun? Have you tied your identity to your arsenal of guns? Do you feel the need to open carry at the grocery store? Do you open fire on cars in your driveway?

No? Then you’re not in the “gun people” group being talked about. People who own guns are not the same as the “gun people”, or “gun nuts”/“ammosexuals”.

And torrents start seeding automatically

Not necessarily, that should be configurable from within the torrent client.

Be sure to check OPNsense Ethernet card compatibility. When I built my router, it was strongly advised to stick with genuine Intel PCIe network cards. And I’d personally strongly recommend against using a USB to Ethernet adapter. To many reliability issues with the USB side of things.

In a non-conventional setup test, I tried an old Mac mini with two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and while OPNsense worked, stability wasn’t optimal.

Of course, your mileage may vary and genuine Intel PCIe cards are quite a bit more expensive than a USB Ethernet adapter.

nervously glances at my gentoo daily driver and three gentoo servers

There are some lovely tools that allow kernel updates sans reboot.

Oh really, I think you and my Debian server with >10 years of uptime should have a conversation.

I was so disappointed she wasn’t in Aftershocks! But I like how Burt’s character ended up because of it.

Or have the Mexican military give me carte blanche at their inventory.

I don’t know how other countries do it

We don’t coddle the auto industry and let them lobby competing transportation out of existence. We’re also not hostile to alternate transportation such as bicycles.

Here in the Netherlands I can bike to the coast in 20 minutes or I can take a 20 minute train to Amsterdam.

That’s unreasonable

Not in a European city.

it’s so slow that many will probably start ignoring all speed limits, making roads more dangerous and enforcement difficult.

That’s a nice slippery slope fallacy.

silicone

It’s silicon. Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.

Silicon is for computer chips, silicone is for boobies.

Hmm, all I see is *****************.

Hey it’s me, your cousin…
