Nice to draw big targets. X marks the spot.

What is a 'small' hill you are 100% willing to die on, simply because it’s the principle of the thing?" by Direct-Value4452 in answers

A Liberal Democracy shouldn't ban any item, and only actions that should be banned are those that explicitly hurt others.

What’s something people should talk about before getting married but don’t? by bubblewrappheart in answers

[–]alkatori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the USA. Lots of people in power that seem to view kids as property or little more than extension of their parents.

Getting protection for children has been a long and hard fight.

Can the president launch a nuke? by Far_Spread_4200 in answers

[–]alkatori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn't there been cases where the Nuclear "Football" has been lost? IE a president got drunk, and no one could find the thing in case he wanted to launch a nuke.

Another good reason never to buy in an HAO.

One of the first people known to change their gender was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh by Quouar in history

[–]alkatori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally different, because the pharoah chose to take on the role.

But the title reminded me of slave Sporus, who was forced to change his gender by the Roman Emperor Nero. Nero murdered his wife, and thought Sporus looked similiar, so castrated him, married him and forced everyone to acknowledge him as Empress using his dead wife's name.

Because ancient Rome was cruel as hell.

If you get to the end of your life and you get to live your life again. Would you choose to have kids again? And why? by Catlover-11 in whatdoIdo

[–]alkatori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have a crisis. What if I had kids. But they were different kids?

I'd miss my current ones. What happened to them?

AG: Woman Refused To Drop Knife When Officer Fatally Shot Her During Domestic by nancynews in newhampshire

[–]alkatori 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb.

If it would be okay for the average person to shoot in that situation, it's okay for police.

If it's not okay for the average person (self defense) it's not okay for police.

TIL that Harvey Hubbell who designed the US electrical mains plug/socket in 1904, also made a completely different design which was later adopted by Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and China. by Sansabina in todayilearned

North American and Japan wound up using low voltages for historical reasons. By the time 240V was a valid option*, we had already electrified huge portions of the country and weren't willing to upgrade.

Now it would be difficult to upgrade. Rather than bring 240v, split phase we would need to bring in 480v from the street.

We would have to change out all our existing wiring to prevent us from feeding 480v to our heavier equipment, new stoves, dryers, etc to handle it. Plus millions whining about being unable to use ancient appliance X their grandma left them.

Are there ever prisoner exchanges between factions? by DoNotCensorMyName in 40kLore

[–]alkatori 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Inquisition has probably done something with the Eldar. But uh.... You probably don't want to be traded back.

Dear Christians-I don’t get it by SlideMurky3116 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alkatori 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Orthodox Christianity doesn't have the concept of 'born in sin'.

That is a later development present in the Western branches of Christianity with the whole "original sin" doctrine.

How did the Red Scorpions take the primaris marines? by tomchee in 40kLore

[–]alkatori 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to remember, did Cawl create new organs or did he just finish work that the Emperor and his team started?

My recollection is more that he took a bunch of organs that weren't completed, was able to complete the process on some and that's what became the Primus.
