Macho? He looks gay, and overcompensating :p

 

Yeah, I wouldn't admit to being scared of him, not publicly.  ;)

 

Some overreaction going on here.  Looks like a tattoo, nothing like an actual gun, no dimension/depth.  And they (the tree trimmers) could have asked while he was standing there, no need to knock on the door.  Some people are just too jumpy and insecure.  :rolleyes:

People do tend to be "jumpy" when they think a firearm is involved.

It's not illegal to carry a weapon on your own property, concealed or otherwise.  Since he obviously couldn't/didn't brandish it, for what reason did the police even show up?

They were called because the workers were alarmed by his behavior and the appearance of a gun in his waistband of his pants/pajama bottoms. The gun turned out to be a tattoo, a mistake was made and was cleared up by law enforcement.

Did you see the picture?

The tattoo could easily be confused with a real gun from a distance and I'm sure that was his intent. He looks like a thoroughly unpleasant individual.

It looks like a real gun if you are blind, or if you have no 3D vision depth perception. This is a ridiculous story, and most certainly a ridiculous tattoo. I agree though, he looks unpleasant and like a balding mobster.

He may be a supremacist; white, black, or purple with yellow polka dots - it doesn't matter. He has the same rights to freedom of speech, expression etc. anyone else does.

 

 

Did I argue he didn't?

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
