Also the kinetic projectiles are kind of useless

I’d not trust my life to that, at least the PCP versions with long barrels have a pretty high muzzle energy

Great crowd at Zero Trust World today. Thanks for everyone who came to my keynote and for all the great hallway conversations! 😃

It’s not as funny tho. If I move out of LA the ammo is legal in basically every other state

I also think the ones ICE use might actually just be regular paintball guns because the agency is cheap and didn’t want to buy the proper ones

It’s the same caliber as a paintball gun, but the official ones tend to have a higher muzzle velocity. You could put the pepperballs in a stock paintball launcher, but they may not break consistently

I recently found out that those pepperball launchers riot police have are completely legal to own. Unfortunately, the ammo is illegal in my state. It would have made for an absolutely hilarious home defense option. The assailant has to assess if I’m crazy enough to tear gas us both (I am).

My most ADHD trait is forgetting to check my calendar in the morning, then getting an apple watch notification while I'm in the shower to tell me in 30 minutes I have an interview in the next city.

I am very concerned about the rising cost of groceries, which is why I voted for the guy currently using $4m dollar a piece missile interceptors to shoot down a bunch of bottle rockets in a middle eastern war that he started.

The US also promised Afghan nationals who helped them during the war on terror safe haven in the US. Very few ever got granted it. Then last year Trump revoked all their statuses and threw them to ICE.

There really is no greater indicator of an incoming era of global stability than seeing a British dude with a map and a pencil

Can we just go ahead and put the entire US government into a nursing home?

Is there anyone who has read a book or even a newspaper in charge?

Creating power vacuums while arming militias in West Asia, a truly novel idea that has never been tried before.

If you operate under the assumption that AI is going to become a replacement for knowledge and skill, then there's no motivation to learn. If AI doesn't pan out, you're screwed. If it does, you're now competing against 8 trillion people who also have the ability to outsource their thoughts to AI.

IMO the worst mistake people make trying to AI-proof their career is dropping everything to learn AI. It's like dropping out of math to study how to push calculator buttons really fast. The skill cap for AI is going to be your understanding of the underlying subject, not how good you are at prompts.

As a Brit, I must say that it is absolutely never ok to not make fun of British people who moved to Dubai

I really hate hosts that do shit like that. It costs nothing to buy a box of tide pods, toilet paper, and a roll of trash bags. Even if every single guest steals the entire supply, it’s basically a rounding error in their margins.

$30 mystery box with a 5% chance to drop 3 tide pods

All the rolls are single ply. This is a $1m house…lol

These AirBnB hosts are wilding. They offered me a $30 “starter pack” which includes 2 trash bags, 2 tide pods, a dishwasher tablet, and some toilet paper. They really want me to do micro-transactions for basic necessities 🫠

Weirdly, of all the fucked up stuff he's done, this is the most likely to unravel his presidency. Not many people understood why 9/11 happened, but the blowback from this will be so obvious and so immediate that even the dumbest of MAGA rubes will struggle to not blame him.

This is not the subject of the discussion

lmao, one time I managed to end up on both the far-right and far-left blocklist are a result of the same post

It's a pretty significant percentage of real humans doing it. No doubt a lot of bots trying to sow division, but several of the large real accounts are fairly well known for behaving that way.

Bluesky has a pretty significant problem with people baselessly accusing others of transphobia, which goes far beyond just normal 'the left eating itself' behavior. We also already learned why blocklists are a bad idea, because we all saw them get weaponized for petty Twitter feuds.

I think they've probably learned their lessons of not following Americans into forever wars by now.

In hindsight, expanding executive powers to normalize presidents unilaterally approving foreign strikes was a bad idea. But in midsight and foresight it was also a bad idea.

I was hearing that plan in my head as I read it. It's impossible to parody him at this point
