Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
You seem to have made the mistake of spelling "Planescape" as "Starjammer, or Darksun". 😛 Seriously, only masochists play Dark Sun.

Politics XXXIV (Politics never changes)
I agree that there's no interpretation that would limit all ownership so DC's law was invalid. I was trying to describe my understanding of the argument pre-Heller, that the interpretation that put extra weight to the first part was an argument that the intent of the amendment was for a state's right to have a militia, which then made the second part subsidiary to the first part. Heller obviously established the second part as the primary piece, which has then led to interpretations that individual right to own for self protection means individual right to carry anywhere for protection (excluding, you know, government offices).

Politics XXXIV (Politics never changes)
See, this is the crux of the argument, as I understand it. People who believe the law was intended to protect the state's rights to have a militia put the weight on the first part, those who believe its for individual rights put it on the second. Heller, as I understand it, sided with the second part, but that decision isn't without controversy. Personally I am not a fan of Heller as it has bolstered the "guns everywhere" movement which I am not a fan of.

Isn't the literal interpretation of the right to bear arms, as defined in the US Constitution, literally tied to militia membership though? Wasn't this the interpretation that allowed the clean-up of the west (in that sheriff's were able to legally tell cowboys they couldn't enter town with their guns on as they weren't part of a militia) as opposed to the interpretation in District of Columbia vs Heller that expanded rights to the individual unconnected with militia membership? (I'm neutral on removing gun ownership as the Constitution is supposed to be a living document, but removal of gun ownership needs a Constitutional amendment to happen, anything else would be...well...unconstitutional).

Structures can amplify the effects of forces. For example, the difference in the effect of hitting a metal bucket vs a plastic one with the quality of the sound produced, and then the difference if the bucket is on the ground or in the air. I don't know that happened here, to be fair, but it doesn't seem to be in the realm of impossibility that the structures might have made the problem worse by transmitting the force waves into the bunker through the structure (like the difference between having the metal bucket vs plastic bucket over your head while being hit - you'd most likely want the plastic one as it has less potential to reverberate the sound). I would be curious to know the effect the missile strikes had on Iraqi troops, though.- Weird - Random - Interesting
Interesting reading; I thought, joking aside, it might be tied to size of the weapons, but hadn't read about the buildings as an issue.- Weird - Random - Interesting
You may be right, but in a day and age where everyone is concerned over CTE, I could see them over diagnosing it without their being some conspiracy(?) behind it. And it could be legit, you get 110 concussions just from having a Keystone Kop style mass panic where everybody runs trying to get to a safe place (which is a worrying idea by itself).- Weird - Random - Interesting
So instead of actually responding to my posts, you're just going to continue to dance around the topic by poking at me? So, simple questions - why are you posting about the TBI numbers? Why does this story interest you enough that you are still posting about it 2 weeks later? What discussion are you trying to engender? Or are you just spamming?- Politics, local-national-global-galactic
I thought that Elrond is referring to recent incidents in India where elements of the government seem to want to marginalize the muslim population (including trying to change historical fact, like who created the Taj Mahal), but I could be wrong.- Weird - Random - Interesting
Feel free to dismiss me as a TBI effected individual, but I have trouble discussing your point because I don't understand your point. My point in posting is that you seem to feel very strongly about this subject, but have couched the links you provide in such hyperbole that I cannot fathom what you are trying to say and why you keep bringing it up. You seem strongly...something - miffed? bemused? exasperated? - I don't know. I don't get it, and I don't get why you're passionate about it. I tried to use the qq jargon in an attempt to communicate with you as it seems like the vast majority of your posts are using net-lingo like that and that this issue has connected to you in some deep way that I don't understand. Obviously this method failed. So about your link, numbers fluctuate in the aftermath of any kind of event, much less a mass event. Depending on how the Pentagon is categorizing TBI's it could range from "was close enough to an explosion to have received injury from a shock wave to the brain" to "gave self concussion trying to exit the shower when the alarm went off" meaning that the raw numbers are, somewhat meaningless. Assuming that everyone who was injured was injured in ways that weren't directly related to the missile strikes, but to mishap in scrambling for cover, etc. then I don't see a discrepancy between the initial statements, including Trump's, and the reality. YMMV as I don't get why you're hung up on these news upated and obviously, politicians are going politic regarding anyone saying something that can be spun in a way to look untrue so that has to be contextualized as well.- Weird - Random - Interesting
TBI's include concussions. You can give yourself a concussion by accidentally bopping your head on a bed-post or by walking into a low hanging door facing without stooping enough.- The Best Musical or Comedy Drama Action Film thread (THIS IS THE GENERAL MOVIE STUFF THREAD)
