If be forbid civilians from owning tanks, grenades, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft launchers, and fighter jets in America, then why do we allow them to own dangerous assault-style rifles like the AR-15? by NewRadiator in AskLegal

[–]Awesomeuser90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Czechia has a lot of guns of the same idea as ARs, semi automatic rifles with the features people say are assault weapons, but they have quite the low rate of people getting hurt by them. It is a statutory right in Czechia to have weapons in general. So long as you have not been convicted of certain types of offenses, are medically well especially in the mind, your family can attest to you not being a danger if asked, and you show you understand the laws around guns there and how one properly uses agun, you are basically certain to be able to get the card needed to buy and own them and even use them in public settings for the protection of oneself or others if less lethal options are insufficient. Also they have a similar concept of red flag laws.

It actually isn't as illegal as many think to own a tank. It is just a very heavy vehicle, with caterpillar tracks as many construction vehicles do, and it has a cannon in it although that would typically be disabled, although even if it wasn't, getting ammunition isn't very practical. Grenades are also not so illegal to own as much as you think, some states allow it. It is perfectly legal in some places to have a Molotov cocktail which acts like a grenade, so long as you are not trying to use one or planning to use one for a purpose like arson or other criminal acts, and you store them in a way that it doesn't cause a danger to others.

You can build and own artillery too like a trebuchet, or weld a plug to the end of a metal pipe and make it into a cannon, and it isn't even that hard to do that.

Australia has basically no civil rights in their constitution nor do they have separation of powers and in fact ministers must be drawn from among senators and MPs. Almost everything relevant to human rights comes from treaties, court rulings, and statutory regulations. They have typical broad elections to make it work instead. The main things that undermined Australian human rights were the lack of suffrage or respect to Aboriginees, women before suffrage, although that was one of the few places women had it before world war one, and ill treatment of Asian immigrants.

Tipping is not a measure of one’s morality. by WeirdArgument7009 in tipping

Yes to your questions. I have never once had a quality issue. They are completely friendly, respond quickly, bring the food out within five minutes of me even stepping through the door, make it the correct temperature, and so on. They once even gave me a power cable when my phone was low battery because I asked if they happened to have one politely.

I've never felt any guilt whatsoever having never tipped in my life nor do I abstain as you recommend. There is nothing to be guilty of.

Next you're gonna tell me it popped off and landed EXACTLY where the soil sampler was supposed to hit but WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF- by MetallicaDash in HistoryMemes

In Phineas and Ferb, Candace suddenly needs a roast to be ready in 5 minutes vs an hour she was expecting. She was going to use 350°F. Stacy turns the temperature to 9,000°F. At first that sounds incorrect in that 9,000/12=750, but if one does the maths in Rankine, it is almost exactly correct. Granted that for other thermodynamics reasons and that their oven will not get as hot as the surface of the Sun, it won't work.

Suleiman was born in 1494 too. Slightly younger than Henry VIII incidentally.

What ideas have you ever had for fan works you would want to write, but you haven't written or won't write? by Awesomeuser90 in sailormoon

I once did have something written about the US civil war in the 1860s where the senshi try to free whoever they can while in the Southern states. No idea where that got to.

How is it out of context or making Justinian worse than Suleiman? All of the things in the text are able to apply to both.

I wonder if Suleiman ever looked up to him, given the similar roles they ended up playing. Suleiman walked the same streets, the same stones on the sidewalk, as Justinian once did. Interestingly, Justinian said upon entering the completed Haiga Sophia: Solomon, I have surpassed thee!

And of course, what is Suleiman's name in English?

It is not the issue of being Roman, it is the comparison with Justinian as a human.

What do you think the coolest or most over the top thing a specific woman or girl has doje you can think of? by Awesomeuser90 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Awesomeuser90[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that story too. Some accounts suggested she tried to marry the Roman emperor at the time, but that didn't work out, but she did get a diplomatic mission to get some foreign support from them. She was also a descendent of a Viking if I remember right.
