what would be a better data point would be how many guns per class license are out there, because a category G (collector) license or range armourer Would have many more firearms against their licence than a farmer would , but they're using their license to maintain safe custody of historical or shared items.

I see 'God's Representatives' being on charge of government in the USA is ok as long as they're a white US person.
"We're doing God's work" should be a statement that should invalidate employment by the state.
You should be doing the "People's Work", and if you're not acutely aware of that, you shouldn't be in that position.

I've lot something precious to me by not putting it away in its correct spot when I was finished with it and now I am experiencing the stages of grief over it.
It is excruciating to me that the only time my house was in order was when the rest of my life had fallen apart.
I cannot get enough time or space to unfuck my shit and it compounds in little traumas like today's over and over.

Absolute favourite brekky is a prawn Thai green curry with sticky rice.
If I can't have that, then sardines fried with kale, pepper, crispy bacon pieces. Then add a fried egg, some chilli flakes and croutons, dump into a bowl and dice half an avo into it.
If I can't have that, then eggs benni with smoked salmon and wilted baby spinach on fresh sourdough toast.
Aaand if i can't have that, then I love a bowl of oat porridge made with water and salt, with a knob of butter melted through it.

For people who need an analogy:
If politics were sport, fascists are blatant and unashamed cheaters and game fixers.
"you cheated" doesn't fucking work, because the answer is "no I didn't, and even if I did - so what? I won."
And they're busy rigging the next game so you can't win, even if you're a better team.
The answer to blatant cheating and game fixing is to ban them from the game.
They don't get to play.
Ever.
If they try to get onto the field, you forcibly remove them because they fuck the game for everyone.

By its very function and definition, LLM 'AI' can only ever bring you up to a skill level of 'average at best' in a realm you're not skilled in.
It is trained on the best and worst that has been fit to publish and it goes for the statistically most likely.
So yes, if you suck at writing - it seems like it's a wordsmith.
BUT If you're a skilled professional writer, it's simplistic and incapable.
If you're not a professional developer, it seems like it's a great coder.
BUT if you are someone who writes maintainable code, it puts out hot garbage.
This absolutely aligns with the findings of C-Suite executives *loving* AI, middle managers waxing enthusiastic, and actual workers finding it useless.
Most people aren't skilled writers, or artists or coders, or whatever - and by their very job role managers and executives don't work to produce usable output, they manage and and direct workers to.

Developing civic enhances the utility of the tram and public transport once everything is fixed up.
Not syphoning money out of landlords' greedy fingers to ensure public works are improved and expanded rather than efforts merely redirected, as well as improving housing affordability is one of the great failings of our current govt.

If the *Kids* are using the term "That's AI" to mean "I call bullshit" (which they are), the meaning of 'AI' is now so poisoned it will be impossible to sell anything with it in about 5 years.
It will be synonymous to the upcoming consumers as add a label that says "This Product Lies, lol".

and people give Australia a hard time for mandatory voting onna Saturday with democracy sausage.
We chose to enforce the obligation of exercising your right to vote in a democracy, just like the ancient greeks did.
Even if you just show up, draw a dick and balls on the ballot, take your snag and rack off, you've done the minimum required.
Also it makes people aware of how the fuckwits get into office, as well as giving a good indication of where fucking stupid people live, so you can avoid living there.
I can't actually say there's a downside to mandatory voting, at least the way we've implemented it.

We cover firearms, history, and the sociological impact of these topics with a focus on empathy and humanity. We produce content on modern firearms, historical firearms, competition, training, education, and the social impacts of firearms, the good and the bad."

They are at least 40k+ new, and this one is in immaculate condition and would cost a *lot* less.
Bought in late 1990s second hand from Koln. It is probably late 1960s / 70s. Has been regularly tuned and new hammers etc. Full service history papers. Has a damp chaser humidifier thing in it.
