Is English not your first language? 'Their' in that context refers to the person you were replying to: SupraMario.

And as far as Midwesterners and more specifically my political beliefs; while we Minnesotans have a proud tradition of independence, we're not all Jesse Ventura. Our most popular party is the DFL, which is somewhat distinct from the national Democrat party, and we've supported (D) presidential candidates more than any other state. I'm more in the camp of 'If you go far enough left you get the guns back'. Every gun club I've been a member of has had strong membership support of safe handling and storage, but what that looks like differs based on multiple factors such as whether there are children in the household. Not drinking before or during shooting is often in the club's bylaws.

I bet you could create a community on that instance, and then you'd be a mod too and have just as much power as the dude above.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I don't know how proton works on this. These type of things usually don't send the protected content in the email to the recipient's server, they just send a link that the recipient opens and it's all still kept on the private service's server.

Exactly how does it apply? It didn't come from a "King, Prince, or foreign State". I could declare that I grant you a title, but because it isn't coming from a monarch it's meaningless and that article doesn't apply.

Don't all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

No misunderstanding - I get what you're saying and I disagree.

I also don't agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we'd also recognize the journalist's ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

Aah, gotcha. I had thought that

Probably less these days

was in reference to this part at the end of the parent comment:

cars generally float around the 32 psi area

and I haven't seen anything to contradict all the previous literature on under-inflated automobile tires being worse for fuel economy.

Which part was dickish? Was it the ellipsis?

Didn't forget, that just isn't relevant to the assertion that "plastic can't be recycled". The second use of the plastic doesn't have to be a form which requires the exact same properties as the initial use. The remains of a bottle don't have to be remade into another bottle. There are still nearly infinite possible uses for the plastic.

as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive

No. You very obviously don't know how bandwidth is handled for large providers. They don't pay per gb, and instead have peering agreements with other networks. Google generally doesn't have to pay these other networks, as Google has the web applications that the other networks' customers expect to be able to use.

While most states work that way, Maine and Nebraska are not winner-take-all and have split their votes more proportionally.
