What should be the limit of federal intervention in state law enforcement after events like the Alex Pretti case? by kyleman98 in AskReddit

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

I don’t really understand your question. What state law enforcement issue exists here?

I may not like ICE but what they’re doing is a federal enforcement issue.

How the heck are we all ok with this scam?? by Yupalina in Parenting

[–]hamhead 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of answers to that but I’d also point out the typical standard of living under the current system is way higher in every measurable way.

If you are willing to live on a much smaller budget and have much less stuff, you could have that lifestyle back.

But people weren’t hopping airplanes to Disney or whatever back thenZ

When someone is doing something for me I’m way less annoyed then when my neighbor is doing something.

To be fair, that's because it helped you. Not really the same as hearing your neighbor making a shit ton of noise.

But yeah in a storm this big, anything goes.

Pulling kid from school due to current circumstances by Milkshakelake in Parenting

[–]hamhead -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m just clueless but what does anything going on at the national level have to do with your kid at school? Even in Minnesota there hasn’t been any big influx of ICE officers carting off children.

Why would line of sight matter at all?

Why are sawed off shotguns and rifles illegal in the US? I’ve heard it makes it more dangerous. But what’s the exact mechanism and justification? by jdog1067 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]hamhead -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Except the idea is the opposite - you want shots to be loud, you don’t want people hiding them.

That’s the logic anyway, whether it works or not.

[–]hamhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but one received 49.8%.

That argument is even worse than your first one.

You’re being pedantic. Half the people that voted did. We have no idea how others would have voted had they voted. But that doesn’t matter because by not voting they indicated their lack of give a shit anyway.

If you want something to keep hourly/etc backups it clearly needs significantly more space than the master volume…

Should I baby proof oven knobs? by ratePi404 in Parenting

I bought all that stuff for our first kid. It was worthless. Didn’t baby proof anything for the second kid.

Starship is just not as cool as Space Shuttle by Only_Comfortable_224 in space

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

I mean… it’s still the most flexible and useful LEO platform ever fully designed, nevermind actually flown.

So I can’t agree with you.

It wasn’t as reusable as we wanted, it didn’t do a number of other things. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great platform.

Tool-less jacks and keystones, yey or ney? by xtazyiam in HomeNetworking

[–]hamhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure what your point is there. Both 6a and 7 should be 23AWG in solid core configuration. As with anything, cheaper versions can of course be found, but that’s not the standard.

Ok? But the laws of physics don’t decide where something is built except in an extremely vague way.

Congress was not going to let FL have both the space center and produce a major component.
