The oldest Mayan ruins are from 1000-800BC That's what..~3000 years? Not bad.. Will this glass be as resistant to the elements as carved rocks?

Wait how do you download stuff without torrenting?

Not even kind of close. Legal gun owners can be responsible and law abiding citizens, but you know the ones everyone hears about are not that kind of person. Why don't the good and wholesome law abiding gun owners root these people out? Is it because a significant segment of that population shouldn't own guns, even if they say THEY aren't the problem?

To put it simply.. If you had a Gatling gun on your vehicle, would you have used it by now? Most of us would admittedly say yes. Most of us, given unfettered access and anonymity, would have at least thought about doing something really stupid and illegal if everyone had Gatling guns mounted on their vehicles.

Most of us would have killed someone if the likelihood of being caught was minimal.. Which is why unfettered and semi anonymous access to firearms is an awful idea

I have them all downloaded. 25 years of old hard drives and nerdy piracy have me well stocked for the apocalypse

Yes, and if you teach this to your friends and children, the big companies will eventually adapt to what the market is offering vs trying to dictate the market

I paid full price for both Factorio and Skyrim because they are full games that I get to own. No micro transactions, and modding is almost encouraged through Steam. I will never buy another microtransaction game. I will never buy another "subscription based" platform like Xbox. I'm so fucking over not owning the thing I bought

So what’s the new solution in place of DRM to make sure that the things you make aren’t ripped off by China or any other rich competitor?

This you?

How does forcing a company like Apple or John Deere to allow their customers to repair their own products lead you to think China isn't already ripping off every bit of tech they come across?

There was a South Park episode and everything!

"I am not mad at you. This is not your fault. I am upset at the situation, and I am having trouble controlling myself. I apologize if I sound crazy or have upset you with my words and actions."

My city doesn't allow big trucks on our roads. The wear and tear of roads is heavily dependent on weight, as you and I both stated. Weighing 3500lbs more (the weight of a Toyota Camry) than even the largest personal vehicle is a problem which I hope they solve soon.

I'm not sure why people think it's propaganda that EVs weigh 1.5x or more than a standard sedan. It's a fact, and it's easy to find information. The tech crowd wants to call anything that hurts their opinion bullshit, but they refuse to look it up. It's right there on the manufacturers' websites. I sincerely doubt the owners of Rivian or Tesla are in on some government "propaganda" to lower their own sales.

I appreciate the votes. That proves you read the comment but have no idea how to respond, because you can't.
