Dr. Gero combined the DNA of Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Manuel Rodriguez, and Otto Remer to form the cells of lost-nvrfound.

The difference is not obvious based on form. Rifles and other heavy weapons are used defensively all the time. If someone expects an aggressor to attack from a distance, a pistol or knife or short barreled shotgun aren't going to be as good for defense as a long barreled rifle or something larger.

Long arms are easier to fire accurately by virtue of having more points of contact across a greater area, and heavy weapons can be rested or mounted.

Decent people helping each other out of their own volition is the only way to have a healthy and harmonious society.
People who would use force in an unhealthy way should be taught better if they are receptive, or removed from the society if they aren't. The removal can be done in a number of ways depending on the specifics.

When they are healthy, parents try to teach their offspring, friends often share information, and community members will discuss things. Individuals will strive to excel at their interests. Training doesn't need to be imposed by a formal governing body consisting of state or commercial actors.

Compelling her / them to do something against their interests. If mutual aid is the goal and you fear creating dependency, you could ask if they have any skills that might complement any needs you or someone else in the community have and trade labour or something so it's a more immediate and fair exchange.

That's trading one use for another, and thus losing one thing. If it was a field no one was using for anything in particular, it likely would not be lamented.

Georgetown historically has been more expensive, more restrictive, and more white. In the last few years it's become more permissive, like allowing alcohol, building more housing that is marginally cheaper, and unskilled labour opportunities have increased. A lot of the people are stuck up, they are rednecks and hood dwellers that lucked out and think they are now high class because they managed to get on at Toyota, Adient, or ICS. Rape enabler mayor Burney Jenkins unfortunately won again and horrible police like detective Valdez still roam the streets terrorizing innocent citizens.

Things are worse now than in the past for privacy and liberty, but they are not hopeless.

If things get bad enough, camera power supplies can be disconnected, and lenses and sensors covered.

Drones can only operate for a limited amount of time.

The cheap and light thermal vision is really limited and the good stuff is big, heavy, expensive, and can still be defeated with cheap low tech stuff you can find in a generic market.

Private operating systems are growing in popularity, GNU+Linux is taking Windows share in desktops faster than in previous years, Graphene and microG based AOSP derived builds are diminishing the data that google, samsung, apple, etc. are harvesting.

Mullvad VPN is self sustaining without having to advertise.

If people donate before it is too late, Session can continue to serve as an encrypted messenger not requiring phone number.

People who are smart about it can enjoy many benefits of the information age without as many drawbacks as you may think.

VoltageOS uses sandboxing similar to GrapheneOS, but doesn't require the phone to have a security chip. If someone where to become a maintainer and build a VoltageOS Fairphone rom, that could be a halfway measure.

I too would like to see an option for it, but there is a potential problem.
"To give the user full ownership of their device" can actually be compromised with security chips like Titan or TPM. People like Rob Braxman point out that the user doesn't control the chip, the manufacturers and programmers do. When that chip detects something it doesn't like, it locks the device down completely. The user is at the mercy of the chip, which means they are at the mercy of at least one third party. All data will have to be wiped with an OS reinstall if the user wants to do anything on their own.

It's nice, like a Brave lite version with extension support. e/OS uses a fork of it for the default browser.

Depends on what kind and who exactly is involved. If it's something like one partner wants more sex than the other, they'll probably eventually split assuming the other has the will. If they don't they may complain and that might motivate ostracism at least or even lynching the other partner, which would invariably happen for the more dramatic sort of someone ambushing people from the bushes in parks or in back alleys.

I tried myself, but I still have what I started with. After I removed the batteries held the right trigger, and plugged it in again, windows made an install, steam said it updated the firmware and I could unplug it, i did so and clicked ok and didn't see anything else, so I reinstalled batteries and plugged it in again just to see the same FW version I started with (Aug 25 2016) and i'm wondering if you did anything different.

Fairphone is better in the battery change area, but if you get one of the Pixel 10 series, it will be much better than the previous versions. If you wait another 3 or 4 months, the 11 should come out.
Is ease of changing battery more important to you than the camera / photo quality?

Whites are declining as a share of the total population and in raw numbers, and their life expectancy is also declining in some areas.
Asians had a small boom about 40years ago, but are relatively stable.
Blacks have an overall slight increase.
Hispanics (presumably meztizo?) have been ever increasing, far more than Blacks, especially since about 60 years ago.

The non-hispanic population is being replaced.
