You do not want to have a gun that you're not comfortable with. Having to deal with a high stress situation and then trying to use a gun when you don't have brain-dead levels of familiarity with it is asking the trouble. Luckily it's fairly cheap to build most of the muscle-memory with dry-fire and handling drills. But if you plan on using it for home defense or personal protection, you need to be prepared so that your mind can focus on other things during your troubles.

Also, the answer is that you take all the money you saved on gas by driving a reasonable car and use it to rent a moving van for the day. You'll still have money left over. Guarantee it.

Yeah you really gotta design your laws with the assumption that someone will try to abuse it in one way or another. You need to red-team your bills.

It's not the tank. They get less than one mile per gallon.

I can't go with the compact. What if I need to move?

It gets the people going.

Local and grid level storage can and should be included, but base-level nuclear is also good.

Chemo only applies if it's doped with a radionuclide, otherwise it's just regular poison.

Yes, the anti-trust lawsuit should culminate in one part of a tech giant being sold to another tech giant.

Lol, pretty much every elections gets audited. It's just not interesting because it's routine and the results rarely change.

Literally the only use I've found for it that's better than any other alternative is describing a thing to it that you can't remember the name of. It's usually right, and when it's wrong you were probably never gonna find the thing on your own anyway.

But I don't go to it first, only when I can't figure out how to find the name any other way.

I wasn't thinking about conversations, only picking a standard. A mL is a mL no matter where you are in the word.
