My 401k is down 3 grand, even after I've put in $1000 in just the last month. Fuck everyone who voted for this asshole.

Totally reasonable. I don't shuck anymore, so I don't have the concern of getting the wrong disk.

I've personally never had a problem with their returns before. But I haven't had a doa disk out of their "renewed" internal disks yet.

Specifically the renewed drives sold by Amazon. They are the returned/refurbished drives. I've probably bought 10 or so in the last few years and that's how they've all come. I haven't had a failed drive out of them yet. (Seagate 22tb and WD reds 18tb)

Amazons renewed drives usually come well packaged. Antistatic bag, suspended inside very thick air pocket thing that completely encases the drive, inside a good cardboard box.

Second hand smoke and the Walmart episodes I disagreed pretty heavily one.

The college one had some fallacies in their arguments.

I've been rewatching Bullshit! recently and found myself disagreeing with him quite a lot. I used to like the show a lot, and the same as you it helped build my skepticism. Some episodes are still good, some have aged terribly.

This is why scraping LinkedIn works so well. Using the consistent email format gets you to your target easily. I've used it to get the contact info of the CTO of American Airlines before (his auto-reply included his cell number.)

The government isn't the place to run "scream tests."

Because gun control is often written by people who don't understand guns and by people who don't like guns. They also often are written and proposed without much input from gun owners. I'm not against gun control necessarily, but many attempts are just stupid legislation that would be ineffective in meeting it's goal of decreasing gun crimes.

So many gun control laws proposed are unenforceable such as storage laws.

Assault weapon bans use arbitrary features to distinguish them. And many of these are features that make them easier to control when shooting, which inherently means they are more dangerous now.

I really think there is a huge cultural issue around guns that needs to be addressed. Guns are thought of and treated as a solution to disagreements rather than something to protect life and liberty. A solution that is as equally valid is running away or compromising. These are made worse with rhetoric like "fuck around and find out" or " come try that here."

We also have media that has been purposely trying to divide the populace and make them afraid. Afraid when they leave their house all the time and afraid that someone is going to come into their house.

We have a lot of issues surrounding guns. And while gun control will be a feature of tackling it, so much more needs to be done to address it.

I would love to see everyone just start ignoring Trump and everything he says and just keeps doing their job.

That was my first thought. I want to find one that is smaller and distributed near me.

I might start with Crown Royal. At least the owning company is British (they also own my favorite American whiskey.)

As an American here, I think I might join them. Start buying more Canadian goods.
