The whole debate was designed to generate clips. One minute responses is a terrible format. All the responses were just high energy rapid fire buzzwords with no real substance.

No it's not.

The tragedy of the commons is when too many people use a public resource in a way that is unsustainable. For example, air is not privatized but air pollution impacts everyone who checks notes uses air.

That's not to say there aren't solutions to the Tragedy of the Commons problem and resources cannot be made publicly available, but systems need to be created to manage common resources.

Welcome everyone to the concept of the commons (and by extension the tragedy of the commons)

I don't see the US Surgeon General as the correct person to make meaningful changes to curve gun violence.

I do see this as the perfect story for right-wing pundits to turn this into a "the military is gonna take your guns" dog whistle.

Does solar.lowtechmagazine.com count? Or is that just considered standard reading on slrpnk.net?

Proportional limit. Deformation is linear up until this point.

They broke the 10th commandment into two commandments. There should have been a semicolon after 10a, not a new line.

(10a) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.

(10b) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."

I told them their system was fucked. They confirmed that it was a new system.

A tale as old as time.

I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It's a tiny rip, but I don't want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39% nylon.

Hold Backspace? (self.thumbkey)
 

Any plans to add backspace functionality similar to Gboard or normal keyboards?

 

It builds character! I wanted to see if it would be a practical fix. It is unnoticeable when I am actually wearing it. It is not a forever fix, so I will keep an eye out for used watches to see if I can snag a replacement 18mm band.
