  • What the other guy said is not exactly correct.

    So while they are both China, both claim that the other is the illegitimate government of China. The long of the short is that during the tail end of world war II communist forces rallied and drove out the Japanese from mainland China and Manchuria. They forced the capitalist government forces literally into the ocean and they retreated to Taiwan after they invaded it and took it over from the locals.

    They have been a government in exile since the end of world war II. They claim to be the official Chinese government. Basically imagine if instead of a country called China it was Mom and Dad are fighting and dad has been exiled to the shed where he now lives. And Mom kept the kids and still has the house. And because he has full autonomy over his shed, he’s able to produce all these fancy little projects that his neighbor down the street. The United States loves to buy from him. In exchange for all those great services, his neighbor down the street has helped him renovate that tiny shed into a nice tiny home.





  • Are you actually this incapable of understanding what I’m saying? The gun wasn’t 3D printed. Let’s try this another way. Imagine I take a Honda Accord from the Honda factory. Imagine I strip off all of the paneling and replace it with custom paneling that I made and or assembled or got from a panel kit. Is my Honda now 3D printed?. I didn’t replace the wheels. I didn’t replace the drivetrain. I didn’t replace the engine, it has the same naked frame. It rolled off the factory floor with.



  • Well you may have just moved to Britain but with your knowledge of handguns I would assume you were born there. Guns are dangerous tools. Yes. The kid didn’t shoot himself in the leg because of the 3D printed parts. He shot himself in the leg because he fumbled a partially assembled and cocked handgun that for some inexplicably stupid reason he had decided to load with a single round.

    Due to a large amount of very stupid laws by a couple of different three-letter agencies, a handgun is actually defined as the frame that holds all the pressure bearing parts and not the pressure bearing parts themselves.

    So he printed the hand grip basically and then put the upper assembly of a standard normal factory assembled upper of a firearm inside of that.



  • I feel you are misunderstanding me. I am not asking about hypotheticals where the police lie. I am saying that in a hypothetical where YOU can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt.

    It’s not about rehabilitation or punishment. It’s about logistics. If there is a dog that repeatedly attacks other people, children and dogs and rehabilitation has failed. The only recourse would be to terminate that dog as it is unsafe for society for the dog to be allowed out. Sure, you could build a secure containment facility to house your inmate dog but at what cost. At that point you are then taking resources that could be better spent to help people in need to contain a problem that will not be solved. I am actually in agreement with you that it’s a far crueler punishment to keep somebody alive in a non autonomous position that they would hate.
