If he actually gets rid of FPTP Mark would, in my opinion, go down in history as the most significant PM since John A. Macdonald.

And how, pray tell, is a "real" firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?

We don't need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you'll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.

While I agree with your main point (which to me sounds like "don't let your cats outside as they're an invasive species and will do serious damage to the local ecosystem"), suggesting to kill them on sight is a bit harsh and won't make you many allies.

We have much more humane options to capture, return, and if needed rehouse cats. Remember that these objectively invasive animals are also people's companions, and that some folks simply don't know better than the old belief that "cats should roam".

Yeah yeah, I blame autocorrect.

If your machine has a TPM chip, you can bypass the other requirements to upgrade to 11 with a simple registry edit. Not sure if that's an option for you, but it saved parents' older Surface device from the landfill.

If Bethesda handles SkyWind the same as SkyBlivion I am actually quite stoked to play a UE5 version of Morrowind....

Yeah, I can definitely see how this opens the door to abuse if leveraged for evil purposes. It's the problem with all these "think of the children" laws.

I do believe however that there's a middle point somewhere between "no system in place at all" and eugenics.

Taking kids away from their parents through CPS should be a last resort on a long path that starts with mandatory education on how to raise your kids using pedagogically approved methods.

Of course that also requires a system of support services and funding for various social programs, so this will probably go nowhere in today's political landscape.

Articles like these price why this country needs the CBC. Keeping politicians honest while providing fair and balanced reporting is an indispensable task needed to keep the populace informed and democracy working as intended.

Glad they are. Back over on Reddit this opinion nearly got me banned, which I think is pretty wild in hindsight.

...and nothing will change, because the administration holds itself above and beyond the reach of the law and the judiciary.

WMR VR headsets on Linux (self.linux_gaming)
 

Reading up on some of the more recent posts regarding VR on Linux, I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick rundown of the actual state of VR gaming on Linux for users of WMR headsets like the HP Reverb G2.

Seeing as Microsoft is about to nuke that entire ecosystem later this year, it would be great if there's a way for people that invested in these headsets to continue using them on Linux, instead of turning a whole slew of devices into fresh e-waste.

Thanks!

HintThe name of this song is also a Celtic Frost album title.

AnswerTo Mega Therion - Therion

Powers of Thagirion
Watch the great beast to be
For to Mega Therion
The draconian melody
The dragon open the eye
And reveal both truth and lie
Spiritual supremacy

Ride the beast of ecstasy
Spiritual supremacy
Ride the beast of ecstasy
Ialbaophs creative spark
Manifests the utmost dark
Ialbaophs creative spark

Meaning the letter of Theth
Hide the force of Baphomet
Meaning the letter of Theth

The wound of Baal will be healed
When sign of time is unsealed
The wound of Baal will be healed

The world will burn by Sorath's flame
And through the solar sign proclaim

First hint at 24 hoursSince it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important

Second hint at 48 hoursSomeone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .

AnswerHeavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.

Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear

We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

Tap for spoilerSavatage - Strange wings

Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.

[24 hour hint] Since this is a pretty difficult one, here's a big hint: The band is named after a poem by John Milton.

[Solution] This was a hard one due to the genre, but I loved how the AI captured the two states the subject of the song finds himself in by using the heaven and hell imagery side by side and the depiction of the long stairwell to absolution. Nowhere in the song does it explicitly mention heaven or that ascension, but it does capture the protagonists journey from fear and self-doubt to letting to and wondering why they ever felt that way to begin with quite well.

As it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The clock and what it represents is extremely relevant to the topic of this song.

[Update] Good guesses everyone. The link with Meatloaf is that he and Iron Maiden have a song that shares the same title (Heaven can wait), and the link with The Hu is that Iron Maiden will be touring the US this year with The Hu as support.
