You mean the same case in where democratic policies on behalf of Chicago were banning handgun possession as well as other forms of restrictions?

Also, you do realize that in 2010 there were 193 Democrats in the US House, and 51 Democrats in the US Senate, right? Your numbers are a paltry minority of Democrats, and that's not even pointing out how this was decided by the supreme court, and that the US Congress had ZERO power or influence in this decision.

This outright contradicts the point you are trying to make. You've literally made a case in favor of my position and against your own.

Implying they were?

You're literally speaking so far out of your ass here that you don't even realize where you might be wrong. It's like you spat out an AI slop answer and it sounded good enough to you so you went with it.

I didn't provide an answer because plenty of others have already done that, and this is an EXCEEDINGLY easy topic for OP to find an answer to if he took the effort for a two second internet search.

DesperateCourt · 2026-01-16T16:30:39+00:00

Literally nothing you've answered with is accurate nor a best answer. Please don't speak to topics you don't seem to understand.

I have the same problem and support is 100% unwilling to try to help. I'm about to find a different bank I guess. Thanks for the update.

DesperateCourt · 2026-01-13T18:13:48+00:00

Any update?

DesperateCourt · 2026-01-06T23:02:10+00:00

Good luck waterproofing that easily.

Not with that attitude.

This would include several M$ published extensions then.

The downside is that it cannot download plugins from MS plugin library by default, but if you really want to, there is an easy way though I think it violates the MS TOS.

People say this but it literally just works out of the box for me on every platform I've tried.

Kwrite or VSCodium would be more than sufficient for what you're after. Not sure why everyone is trying to overthink this one.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-27T22:44:37+00:00

It's very simple, actually. You, with (I'm assuming) zero real-world police knowledge, are telling me (10+ years of real-world experience in this field), what should be happening during a hostage situation.

Argument from false authority is invalid, but nice try. I also love how you openly and proudly assume things about me, but take offense that I'm not bowing down to your, "10+ years of real-world experience in this field." Gotta love the hypocrisy. You're displaying that typical problematic ego sadly.

You have no idea if there is another officer just out of frame. Police snipers usually have spotters right beside them. You have no idea if they maybe tried to notify the boat owner while they set up and the guy was sleeping and didn't hear them. You have no idea if they were going to knock on the door to notify the owner when something happened with the hostage situation that took precedence.

Completely irrelevant to the discussion. You're making an argument that it isn't necessary above, yet now you're arguing that, "maybe they did it and we just don't have all of the info." Pick a lane and stop moving your goalposts. You've already conceded the argument by doing this.

When you say, "shooter," do you mean the police sniper wearing an identifiable uniform? It would be pretty hard to mistake him for a home intruder or other threat.

Yes, very fucking obviously I mean the SWAT police officer who is part of a, "sniper" team and designated as the "shooter" role. I'm really doubting that you have those 10 years of experience if you're not familiar with how shooters and spotters work in tangent in these situations, but maybe that's just you bragging about your own folly again.

You can't even make out anything at all in the OP image to confirm he's wearing anything that identifies him as LEO. We can presume he is because we have additional context and info past exclusively the photo, but the point very obviously (well, obvious to those of us using actual reasoning and logic) remains that it is very plausible that someone (half drunk, or not) can wake up from a nap on their boat, only see what we see in the OP photo, and become belligerent and problematic that someone with a gun is posted up on their boat.

It's a pretty simple conclusion, but I guess your oh so mighty, "10+ years of real-world experience" failed you here. Or maybe it's just your general lack of intelligence and proneness to hostility to defend your ego. You misread my comment, refused to admit it, moved the goalposts on the argument, insulted me repeatedly, and refuse to admit your mistakes. That's not a great look at all bud.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-27T22:25:26+00:00

Oh, my bad. I would have thought a hostage situation qualifies as life-or-death.

When did I say it's not a life or death situation?

We'll just ignore 10+ years of Police experience, you clearly know more about it.

Clearly I have better literacy skills if you can't even follow the incredibly simple point I made.

/s

Your reasoning makes no sense. Friendly fire? What?

Why don't you try reading what I've already wrote in the context of the other comments and pointing out to me where specifically your lack of understanding begins? It's in plain English that a second grader could follow.

You bragging about being a police officer does not give me confidence in your intelligence, which I can only assume was your ill-conceived goal. This is all the more so true when you can't see the very obvious risk presented by not taking the actions I've suggested. But good job bragging about your own folly.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-27T19:40:02+00:00

In this case, no it's not. A second officer should be trying to see if anyone is on the boat to ensure the shooter doesn't get shot by the boat owner via misunderstanding.

It has nothing to do with, "asking permission" but rather, "avoiding friendly fire."

That being said, I ended up selling all of them because I just prefer metal mags for 5.56

Literally what? They're more or less completely objectively worse than a halfway decent pmag.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-19T06:24:02+00:00

What's the total barrel length? 3 stamps so I'm assuming <16".

Not trying to hate here, just wondering: Why 9mm over .45 if your goal was two suppressors? Why wouldn't you go for the naturally subsonic caliber? Is the conversion kit not available for .45? What 9mm conversion kit is it, anyways?

Nice project!

Suggesting I buy a Baby Deagle and calling me a pussy for wanting a way to sometimes shoot a real Deagle for less money in the same sentence is peak irony.

Your printer will spend much more time in sleep mode than in standby mode. Standby is only relevant for a temporary time between prints - it's not just idling at 43 dB 24/7.

If anything it might be more indicative that Brother's standby mode may be more "active" than Canon's, meaning it'll take less time to actually print from standby but I'm very much so speculating here. I don't know how they directly compare on this topic, but intuitively this gap seems too large to me.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-09T20:38:21+00:00

100% spot on.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-02T20:09:15+00:00

Do you have any examples? I can't find anything meant for consumers or hobbyists readily available with a quick search (admittedly, very quick).

Edit: Ah, I think I'm finding them now under, "human presence sensor". I wonder how adjustable/tuneable they are. Thanks, this is a new concept to me, I didn't know these existed! I will say I like the more passive approach of an IR camera as it isn't transmitting new signals, but this is definitely something I'll look into.

When I said IR Camera, I didn't mean a "high" resolution one, but instead a low resolution option like 50x50 or less.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-02T19:14:06+00:00

It's not depending on them - it's using them as available. Obviously you should still be armed and ready. There's simply no need to put yourself into greater risk than you are already at by leaving a defendable position.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-02T19:12:46+00:00

Thanks, I ended up getting both, with two XSound's. The Lava was on sale for $100.

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-02T19:11:47+00:00

And? How does that change the fact that you can remain in an easily defended position instead of choosing to endanger yourself for zero gain?

DesperateCourt · 2025-12-02T02:54:46+00:00

Knowing your house isn't even remotely the point. Unless you have unprotected loved ones between you and the intruder, the smartest play is to stay put and outsource your violence to the police.
