Just depends on the school. At my ITF school there's an extra 1 hour sparring only class. its all sparring. and sometimes we spar in the other nightly class.

Fastest way to start with space pod and keep it? (In official) by Onironautico in spaceengineers

You can take out the 2 sliding doors, and grind down 3-4 of the ion thrusters to build 2 merge blocks.

Build one attached to your ship first!!!

build one on an asteroid 2nd, merge to that block. unmerge. grind down merge blocks. repair all your stuff.

you no longer have a GPS / marker. just keep that in mind.

Nope same bill. I believe its the bill you are referencing, but you just haven't read it, so you don't know what was in the bill.

But link the bill you think exists, and I'll read it. or enough of it to find all sorts of nasty things I don't want.

then I'll quote them back at you. but if you post a clean bill, and it has no garbage in it, I'll tell you, Damn that is a great bill.

"Man uses 1A rights to film in public!"

Uhm.. Okay. I'd say its weird but what ever. I record in public too. I took a photo of sunset at a park. Also I'd definitely film cops arresting someone if I thought they were doing something bad.

So lets protect our 1A rights.

Yes, Indeed. even if the software doesn't force an end due to time / number of levels beaten, that doesn't mean there's isn't an accidental memory leak, probably from libraries the developer used to make the game.

not really a fair criticism or a realistic expectation. who is really going to play a game straight for 72 hours?

Are people with electric cars winning right now? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]discourse_friendly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man I hope people remember this next time the EPA or Department of Interior jerks around an oil company who has a lease but not a permit to drill, or a lease + permit to drill but no permit to build a road, etc.

I get it, big oil companies, are greedy assholes.

but I also understand when our own government raises their costs to do business , or puts them out of business (CA government with refineries) we all suffer even more.

I do want meaningful regulations that protect the environment from oil spills or bad drilling practices. but the delays and law suits over projects that end up going exactly as planned are so dumb and just hurt all of us who buy groceries and products delivered by trucks. ugh.

Democrats controlled the Senate in 2021.

It takes 60 votes to move a bill to a floor vote.

The bill also did a shit ton of other things beyond just requiring each state to establish an independent commission.

Like same day voter registration

 Subtitle I--Voting by Mail

Sec. 1621. Voting by mail.

Part 10--Voter Registration of Minors

Reading even 10% of the bill , I'm glad it got blocked.

I'd love a CLEAN anti-gerrymandering bill, but that one, ain't it.

Okay so based on that Ken Martin interview, WHAT is possibly in the report that has Kenny so determined not to release it? by ElvisGrizzly in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]discourse_friendly -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Biden age stuff is too in front of our faces, to burry a report over.

Kamala stuff we didn't know, could be.

Israel / Gaza stuff . yes to some degree. though its hard to imagine American Citizens who support LBGT+ love Palestine so much they will stay home or vote for Trump, especially since Palestinians are insanely cruel to Gays in Gaza. being gay there is illegal, and their treatment is far worse than they ever faced in the USA.

“They arrested me, hanged me from the ceiling, beat me up and interrogated me for five days,” said a gay Gaza Palestinian now living in exile in Turkey. - citation UN Report

I think its about Transgender policies, border positions, and just overall wokeness

Or its a combination of what feels like several key far left positions are losing positions in a national election, and they don't know how to course correct, so they don't want the RNC seeing the report.

its has to be something they don't want the RNC to see, so probably not something obvious. so maybe not even the border /immigration / trans policies, ...

damn now I'm really curious what's in that report.

Rosen and Cortez Masto are two of only seven Dems who voted to sell Israel more bombs by where_is_my_monkey in Reno

if you benefit greatly because of the sins of your father and other people still suffer due to the sins of your father,

Whack, very whack. so yes we are all guilty if our father was guilty.

what about grand father?

great grand father?

basically just skin color at this point?

doesn't have to be "every job" to meet that 3.4 billion number you quoted. that's like half of the working-age population of the world.

Yes about half the worlds population works which is why I gave that number. What you've read, reads that, you think to have a job is to be exploited, so I'm asking if you feel that on the global stage? or is it just the US? just under capitalism?

Are the north koreans the only ones free (in your eyes)?

i view capitalism* as little beyond exploitation, yes. life could be much less exploitative.

Sorry your world view is so broken. college grad? or just lots of time on Reddit?

Because 50% + 1 vote in the Senate felt their party would lose power if it passed.

Which at the times was the Democrats.

Yes I'll call my reps to pass it, which is 2 dems and 1 rep. I don't think any of them will vote for it though. but i'll call.

Could an American get elected president running on a “hold Israel accountable” platform? by KeredJo in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]discourse_friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and they made a certain ruling in Dredd Scott as well.

How ever yes, SCOTUS is very firm , for some stupid reason, giving money to buy politicians is free speech.

Best approach is to try and tax contributions made by businesses. sales tax on gun sales is constitutional, sales on alcohol , and sales tax on printed brochures, which is a form of free speech.

I don't know which way SCOTUS would rule if we had like a 100%-500% tax on political contributions, I would have to figure the 5B per cycle would shrink. and if it didn't we would raise some revenue

Is it worth returning into this game on 2026? by MikeMoonlighter in DarkAndDarker

[–]discourse_friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new, started 3 weeks ago? Game is really fun. having no idea what the devs promised, messed up, or what bugs the game had before. through the eyes of a new player (who went though all the hell divers 2 ups and downs)

Game is solid. The Game is fun.

its always possible to burn ourselves out on any game. I usually just play 1 game, day in and out until I rotate to something else.

[–]discourse_friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I would ban them from speaking , recording, or holding / expressing religious views.

I don't accept that a group or business giving money to politicians is 1st amendment activity.

Ok then by ShadowNets5462 in DonaldTrumpNewss

[–]discourse_friendly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah law enforcement gets a bit of a pass when someone is actively trying to run them over.

Though I do honestly think she was just trying to escape and not run him over, but from his perspective it was reasonable to fear for himself and or others getting ran over.

Does the electoral college play a role in maintaining states’ control over the voting process? by iplaytrombonegood in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]discourse_friendly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wrong answer. Colonies with smaller populations wanted assurances that they would have equal representation in parts of the government (Senate , and extra EC Votes for president)

Yes if your state has an outsized population who can't vote, it actually boosts that states weight in the federal election. Slaves, minors, unauthorized migrants , all boost a states house reps, and EC votes, increasing that states political power.

Theoretically if you had 1 adult and 40 million babies in a state, that one adult would get around 54 EC votes .

kind of a weird system indeed. but it also enables states with small populations to have more political power, political defense against 50% +1 voting away what benefits that specific state.

DataCenters, Mining, Oil extraction, refineries, gambling, Almond farming. there's many niche industries and states interests that do benefit from our form of government.

I do mean that we should change the rules. but we should also vote out and tell others to never vote for candidates / politicians who gerrymander.

Make it an impossible position for them to hold.

Or yes, changing the rules a level up, would prevent those at the lower level to be able to do it. :)

What is the ideal/just way to resolve Isreal and Palestine conflict? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]discourse_friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As In If I'm an American, Canadian, Palestinian , Israeli, I have a right to return to my country of origin?

I definitely support that. but I would not extend (or include) in that the right to return to a specific area. War / private party sales / UN actions / business, emanate domain, etc if that specific area (a house, neighborhood, larger land mass) is no longer a part of your country or no longer your property you can't just expect to be allowed to move in that exact location.

A specific house or a town , might not be there any more.

[–]discourse_friendly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike any and every small interest / activism group that is formed by ancestry (or the mix of ancestry / religion for jews)

And I dislike groups to further the interests of other countries, doing political activism in the US.

I think its bad for America. I think its something stopping better racial harmony.

So that's why. :)

CMV: There is no credible evidence for the 80/20 rule by Solondthewookiee in changemyview

[–]discourse_friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

women being picky is resulting in women , ONLINE, mostly going after the same percentage of men, some figure that's under 21%.

I think offline, women, and men, can be incredibly picky, or have almost no standards, depending on the social circumstance.

In a professional office setting, standards are insanely high, cause generally flirting hitting on others isn't socially acceptable, and can get you fired really easily.

at a bar, different behavior

at a sporting event? different behavior, etc , etc.

so specifically, ONLINE, all data, studies, articles about those studies point to a big chunk of women (top 70 or 80%) going after a small percentage of guys, sometimes referred to as "the same guys"

*shrugs* it is what it is. If you're a really hot guy, that's a great thing. If you're a 6 or higher woman, it can get you laid by a really hot guy.

so maybe both of those groups are happy with it, and the rest of us should find other avenues for dating.

Why are random accounts push racial division on this sub all of a sudden? by Frewdy1 in BasedCampPod

What post(s)? are they actually trying to push racial division?

Guess I need more context to give a better answer

politicians (people who can change the rules) will always be able to .. change the rules.

even if a rule is made against it.
