Thank you! I have read others too. Just got finished the original mistborn trilogy but I started out with Tress of the Emerald Sea a while back from a friends recommendation. Took a few chapters but Tress is likely to be one of my favorite books. Still gotta re-read to properly place it though.

I know I'm late to the party but just started WarBreaker by Brandon Sanderson. Really liking the book so far.

Oh shit though you're reading amulet? I absolutely loved that series as teenager. Got all the books but in the wrong order. Still love the art and remember it fondly.

I guess there's not much to this argument at this point between us. I hope you're right, and I would assume some resistance, but do doubt it to be significant. The courts are captured, national dems are weak, and even when talking about the power of state dems I've not seen much strong and resilient push back. Lastly, national dems have quite a bit of power in state politics. Don't doubt the ability of a crab to pull down it's fellow crab in it's own attempt to leave the bucket.

Thanks for the conversation. Though I'm a bit more pessimistic I can see you're at least a reasonable person

Not really if it's threatened and the dems instantly fold. A dozen or so congress members and few senate members in support of freezing elections, the threat of violence, and a continuation of what see we now. That's about all that's needed.

Still, though it'd argue it unlikely, military intervention cannot be ruled out

On this being a separate situation it's not really. It's just an expansion of your own hypothetical. In a world where red states halt elections they would also pressure blue states to do the same. Blue states would likely fold as they have to many of the more important issues recently.

OK. That's a wild thing to say. If you're willing to say that the red states may illegally fail to hold elections can you not recognize the likelyhood that they'd stop, by force, blue states from doing the same?

Do you seriously think blue states wouldn't fold if pressured to stop elections?

I'm not convinced that any of this will come to pass and elections will be stopped but if they want to they can and will.

Eh, not entirely. Typescript will build faster and the text editor can parse it quicker but once it hits the browser no speed is gained. It's kinda stated in the article but it dances around it quite well I wouldn't blame you for missing it.

This just makes transpilation quicker along with some other benefits while working with it in editor. It's still just JavaScript in the end this just gets it there quicker. Still very cool though.

That's understandable. Sorry if I came off sour btw. I'm quite tired. You seem chill

No, the SA80. I'm very familiar with the beautiful L96A1.

Looks like I was wrong though and the SA80 is supposed to be a service rifle. Look man, I'm tired, allow me some stupidity

You're right about our leaders but partially wrong about it being too late. There will be massive destruction and horrible outcomes but damage can still be decreased. With massive effort fewer dead, fewer impovrished, easier to reverse. This is true at each point.

Horrifyingly though our leaders will do nothing while pretending when it gets bad there was nothing they could have done at this point. That it's always been futile.

You may think me saying humanity can still do good work to lower damage is optimism but as a pessimist I understand that nothing will likely be done. Especially when most think it's already too late to do anything.

Wait, I know I'm late to the party, but is that a bullpup sniper rifle?

Why.

I can't see how a sniper rifle benefits from any of the positives of a bull-pup save for maybe the shorter profile being easier to store. Something a folding stalk would do just as well.

Why?

Not at all familiar with the gun. Please tell me it's a regular rifle intented for a designated marksmen and not a real sniper rifle. I see the optic which pushes me in that direction

Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn't as good, I'd argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place

Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it's very good on its own
