Puerto Ricans are (admittedly disenfranchised on the federal level) full USA citizens -- they're Americans. They have self-rule insofar as any other state does, freedom of movement in the USA, etc.
The USA has had colonies in even the "recent" past, but nothing that can really be called that these days.
It used to be you could have never been diagnosed with ADHD -- but don't worry! Now the rules say you just can't currently have ADHD or have taken medication for it in the past 4 years.
And yes, these rules also apply to private pilot licenses. That being said, how may professional pilots do you think have mild/moderate ADHD and have to "suck it up" because they want to keep their jobs?
Makes complete sense, especially considering you can have a pacemaker and still get cleared by an AME to fly.
They just recently allowed pilots to take anti-depressants ... except they're older medications that all have frequent unpleasant side effects like "inability to have an orgasm". ADHD -- tough shit, can't take those meds and keep your license. Any medication that "has an effect on the central nervous system" is banned apart from a short list.
All it does is encourage pilots to lie or forgo treating their very treatable conditions.
I mentioned the time hexbear's admin called the (trans) admin of blahaj.zone (the trans instance) "transphobic" in another thread once. Some hexbear dipshit then "named and shamed" me as a transphobe.
I view the term "social media" as a continuum and not a box. There are degrees of "social media" with the extreme being sites built around using people's "real-life" identities.
Yet we live in a world where people will profit from the work and creativity of others without paying any of it back to the creator. Creating something is work, and we don't live in a post-scarcity communist utopia. The issue is the "little guy" always getting fucked over in a system that's pay-to-play.
Donating effort to the greater good of society is commendable, but people also deserve to be compensated for their work. Devaluing the labor of small creators is scummy.
Although it's white LED on the front of the headset instead of the expected red. It's seems like a dumb choice by some design team going for aesthetics over functionality. And if you're trying to surreptitiously record people there are a million easier, less obtrusive ways to do it that don't involve strapping a giant and expensive headset to your face.
It was the OG Counterstrike that started as an Unreal Tournament mod before getting a standalone release. It was popular for a long time entirely because it had zero anti-piracy built in and it supported modding. The game came out in 1999 and people still play it today.
Sure, especially considering they said fully printed -- no pre-made firearm components.
The FP-45 Liberator pistol and the CIA's Deer Gun are "real" guns designed for that exact purpose: to kill someone at close range to steal their gun. The first "successful" 3d printed gun was the Defense Distributed Liberator, followed by a plethora of single shot "zip guns" of the same type.
So ... a bunch of 3d printed guns specifically copied from the concept of the FP-45 and Deer Gun.
About that ...
