It is definitely the person who pulled the trigger’s fault, but I don’t understand why we would want minors whose brains haven’t fully developed to have point-and-kill weapons.

You point out how awful these kids are, and then post in support of making it easier for them to kill. That’s strange to me.

Although I guess it makes sense, because you also seem to imply that deaths aren’t more likely to occur if guns are involved. I just can’t agree with you there.

hopefully this is just a ‘blip’ and rates of theft begin to fall again as the economy recovers.

If not, we can expect to see legal channels raising their prices again to cover the losses caused by piracy.

This is a crazy thing to write. Every streaming service already has their prices set at whatever they think will maximize profit. If they raise prices in response to piracy, they’ll push even more people away.

If anything, piracy will serve as competition, and it will cause the streaming services to lower prices.

I would get a slight buzz if it had been a while since my last cigarette, but otherwise it was a satisfying of cravings. It’s been about 10 years and I still miss being able to smoke a cigarette during or after stressful situations, such as watching sports.

It’s kind of like sleep. If you get enough sleep, you don’t necessarily feel good, just normal. If you don’t get enough sleep, you feel bad. If you regularly don’t get enough sleep, you might think getting enough sleep feels good, because you’re so used to feeling bad and you have something to compare it to. If you’re currently in a state of being tired, it feels good to lie down and go to sleep.

The act of smoking is like waking up and snoozing your alarm and going back to sleep. It feels good to go back to sleep, but only because you’re tired and you’re satisfying that need. Someone who sets their alarm early on purpose in order to get that “go back to sleep” feeling when they snooze might seem crazy to people who just get enough sleep. And, like smoking, it might piss off the people around you because they have to listen to your alarm go off constantly.

It depends on a lot of factors, like how my productivity is measured, how long is the commute, etc. but in general I’d pick the 4 days in the office.

It can be hard to support the first amendment when you disagree with what’s being said, but that’s why it’s so important.

No, whether you qualify for overtime is based on a bunch of factors including job responsibilities and industry. But there are two salary thresholds that basically ignore those rules.

At the lower end, if you make less than a certain amount, you qualify for overtime no matter what, regardless of whether your job would normally qualify. This is the one they’re proposing increasing.

At the higher end, your employer doesn’t have to pay you overtime no matter what. This one is six figures, though I don’t remember the exact amount.

Agree with reducing power. A common mistake when using multiple access points is to set them all to full power.

Devices usually don’t constantly look for a better signal, instead they look for alternatives once the current connection quality is bad. Some devices will hold on for dear life until it’s borderline unusable.

Unless you’re looking for redundancy, the best case scenario is to have only one good option in every area of your home. That’s not always possible, especially where they overlap, but the closer you can get to that ideal, the more likely it is that your device will make the switch.

You should also be able to adjust the backhaul power separately, so you don’t have connectivity issues between the extender and router.
