Something from Lithuania... Maybe I would like to have a gun, that would make me feel a lot safer. 20 minutes from my house and you are in the heaven of drugs dealers. I was attacked one time, that was just one year ago, they took my Nokia 6230i, I got to choose cell phone or the knife in my body and it was almost there. And that's just for drugs or money which isn't so big...

Someone wrote that he doesn't know anyone who was burgled or mugged, but I don't know who wasn't... If you want to stay alive, kill first or you will be killed just in few seconds.

That brings up something interesting. I've heard that gun ownerlikeb> to kill people...whiskey tango foxtrot!

I don't think anyone wants to kill anyone, not even military personnel.

I agree with you... I just wish that I will leave this country in few years...

I don't think anyone wants to kill anyone, not even military personnel.

I was in the AF, and am planning on going into the army, most likely to shoot for their 18X option. Combat arms for sure. But that doesn't mean I ever want to have to shoot someone.

I just know if I ever have to, and I can't...it'll be the last thing I ever wish for.

why do people have such a hard time setting up a proper poll?

There needs to be an option between

No, but I will someday

&

No, I'm totally against them

I don't own one, and I never will, and I'm not against them...

Spot on. Even at least add 'other' as a choice.

I don't own one, I never will but I'm NOT against them.

Yeah, okay, I get it.... It's a grammatically incorrect phrase used to describe driving while under the influence of alcohol.

But I would've thought with all of the jokes you posted earlier you may have a sense of humor. My bad....

It was just the image of someone shuffling about town in a martini glass that had me laughing.

.177 and

.202

air rifles.

CO2 or pump?

I hope you say pump 'cause we don't want the environmentalists curtailing your right to own a gun.

Side note: ever notice that "mental" is a part of being an environmentalist? Just wondering....

And maybe the last thing you ever do....

I wouldn't cite Bowling for Columbine without verifying the validity of Moore's claims, because if all of his points are as erroneous as his Utopian portrayal of Toronto and Canada then I wouldn't put much stock into them. :p

Sometimes Fred i wonder if you live in a nice quiet bubble called plesantville.

Ive had this out with you before. The Majority of gunowners dont break any laws. Thje association you make ****es me off abit.

the point?

As most robberies happen during the daylight when the occupants are at work, guns dont solve the problem

Most people that own a gun have them for recreational purposes and harm nobody.

Yeah, I concur with the Pleasantville comment; some people do live in a bubble or perhaps they believe their willful ignorance is an indication of superiority. I think some opinions on this thread (from both sides of the argument) are using over simplified logic to support their views.

For example if gun owners are limited to people who break the law then may I suggest another far out generalization; I have no need for BitTorrent since I do not pirate software.

Anyway, my answer to the poll is no. However, I'm not necessarily against guns, nor do I wish to own one in the future. I have no problems with responsible people owning guns. How do you deny gun ownership for people who will not use it responsibly? I suppose therein lies the problem with much of technology that is capable of being abused. If I was ever put in a situation where having a gun could have saved someone's life, or if a loved one was killed with a gun maybe my opinions would change. I don't know. There are some solid points for both pro and con.

Blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzz.

I own several guns, and regrettably I've killed far too many people with them.

Edit: My 1,000th post was horribly depressing for me.....

I guess I shouldn't give people fuel to the fire. The only reason I killed anyone was because Russia has National Service, and well I ended up being put into the 2nd Guards Tamanskaya Motor Rifle Division, which is a constant readiness division and well as soon as I got there, I end up being reassigned to Chechnya, and well I'd rather save the lives of my countrymen, than die the death of a fool.

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
