The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons.

That was the point. A point that has been lost over the years.

It's easy, you just aim a little lower.

A person has to get in that tank, and sooner or later, they have to get out again...

That could have been me... I once had a virus in the 90s. I didn't know I had it until I took a floppy into the university to print something, and it alerted me. So I installed McAfee, it found and took care of this virus. Then a month later my PC wouldn't boot. Long story short, I had to remove McAfee to fix it. The experience stuck with me- antivirus has caused me more problems than any virus ever did. I have lived dangerously ever since. (Though before I run anything even slightly questionable, I will fire up a disposable VM)

My (now ex-) wife hates it... But our kids do it all the time, so what's the difference if I do too?

Yes, but how do you determine that? I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I am going through a divorce, and recently sold the house my wife and I lived in for the past 10 years. I moved out first, then after a couple weeks her lawyer informed mine that the house was vacant, so I shut off the a/c and the ring service to save money until it was ready for sale- then found out she hadn't actually moved out. I don't know if her lawyer just made a mistake, or if she lied to him, but either way they tried to claim that I was being "petty". Then it took her months to move her stuff out. At some point she did move to her mom's, but I don't know exactly when, but when I was cleaning out the refrigerator, I found stuff that had expired around the time I moved out, but that wasn't unusual for her so who tf knows. Point being, it's not always easy for someone to determine whether a property is lived in or not. Then of course you have the situation where someone goes away for say 3-6 months but intends to come back. Maybe it's a one-time thing, maybe it'll be every year, who knows? People will say whatever.

Who determines what is "empty" and how?

I did that when I was young and worked throwaway jobs. I used to have a manager named Rick who would routinely make fun of people's names... So I would call him Prick. To his face, of course. He tried to fire me once, but he was overruled by the owner.

Yes, fellow human.

Lol 25 years ago I was riding a 400 10 miles (16km?) (each way) to work in 20°F (so -6-7c?) weather... Just have to stay bundled up. I drew the line at snow.

Oh hey, it's Tuesday again.

Start?
