IANAL but I don't think you can invoke the two party consent laws regarding noises loud enough to be disruptive to other people through walls and such. The recording consent laws typically apply to things like phone calls I believe.
Cool idea but from personal experience it's probably not worth much. I'm lucky enough to live on the top floor apartment and I've had multiple issues with multiple neighbors over the years. Maybe the leasing office where I live is worse than others, but they basically just ignore complaints.
I came home from a holiday a few years ago and woke up to a dog howling at 7:00am. This was new. This new dog (a husky, lol) would completely lose it's mind any time the owner, my downstairs neighbor, would leave it alone for any amount of time. Like the moment he shut the door. I work from home so it was difficult to focus while this dog would scream it's lungs out for hours at a time during the day. I complained to the office and left a note on the neighbor's door and got no response from either. After a few weeks I decided to handle it, stayed up to 3:00am, walked into my bedroom (directly above his bedroom) and jumped up and down as hard as I could for as long as I could. I bruised my heel on the floor but in the morning there was no barking and it stopped completely, which means it could have ended any time, they just didn't care. I have several other stories that all ended more or less the same way. No one gives a fuck until they are personally affected. You must fight fire with fire.
So interesting how you omit democratic representative Hortman and democratic senator Hoffman from your list, and also fail to mention that all shooters (except the last one -- affiliation unknown) were right wing.
>Not sure if I'll ever be able to go back to ... meetings.
It's with the wisdom of age that I now understand why HR discriminates against gaps in employment history... mostly because I don't know how I could ever be employable, again.
Monk-mode is such a cheap way to exist. Highly recommend it.
I realize now what total bogus nonsense standups are. You get asked the same pish everyday and nobody listens to what you say. Ten different ways to track things for different audiences. I learned to just ignore all instruction given in these meetings and when board to talk non-stop to consume time and have them quickly move to others. A waste of space. Sack all the PMs and interfering managers who depend on them.
The argument of their hypocracy stands though, doesn't it? If someone argues that people don't need guns because they would be ineffective against their government, it's strange that that person would buy a gun precisely to use against their government, right?
> it's strange that that person would buy a gun precisely to use against their government, right?
IF that was indeed what they said, what they believed, and what they actually did, sure.
You do seem to have fashioned a weak strawman here though.
This thread appears to be about liberals, PoC's, and LGBTQ's buying guns due to a perception of increased threat from Trump supporters, MAGA cos-players, newly empowere Groypers, etc.
Not (that I can read in the article) to use against their government.
So that's a double no to both your artifically posed questions.
It seems like you're unable to follow or understand the thread. Several posts up is this post:
>It is more like if you have to worry about masked goons breaking into your house and trying to kidnap you or your family members then maybe you can't trust the government either.
Referring to agencies such as ICE, I believe. Then the post I replied to said that it's not about trust, it's about effectiveness. Now you're telling me it's not about the government at all, but essentially for general purpose self defense, which still seems hypocritical coming from the gun control crowd. Also I'm not sure what an "artificially posed" question is.
Ya I babel all sorts of things. I have sql queries saved in my notes for things like creating a user after I reset the project locally. Common rest queries. I create an orgmode heading for every ticket I pick up and often end up with rest and/or sql queries littered in the notes for testing and development and I can run them right from the notes and when I'm done with the ticket I can just copy/paste them into the pull request description to fill out the manual test steps for those reviewing.
I appreciate the author's work, and they're absolutely right about the Kindle app. I'm with you though, I don't want to fight tooth and nail with Amazon to have the ability to read a book without their lousy app, to back that book up, and otherwise legally and fairly use it. I don't want to reward Amazon for being aggressively anti-consumer by spending money on their site, at least not for this.
I was going to say exactly the same! Got a Kobo Clara BW a while ago -- great lil device. Took a while to figure out Calibre, but now that I understand it, it's very convenient. Prior to choosing an e-reader, I took one glance at Amazon's DRM-laden offerings and noped out from that ecosystem completely.
I wish more people would understand that we empower those companies by using their products and services. Avoid when you can and they lose their power.
When I tried, the only options from Amazon were 'transfer to my device' and that only works if you have a Kindle. There was 0 way to just download the stupid file and let me copy it myself.
When I said "bypass", I meant I ditched my kindle for a kobo and stopped buying books on amazon entirely.
There is a library built into the kobo you can purchase from, which I do for newer books. However, I've been on a classics kick and I pirate them tbh. Dumas doesn't mind.
I hadn't given the online library much of any thought. I kind of assumed it would not have access to anything I wanted. I decided to take a look, and lo-and-behold, it has pretty much everything I've wanted to read recently. The prices are pretty good, it's like $9 for some and a few on sale for $2 which is a steal.
