40 is ridiculous. I'm 49. Our generation essentially invented the internet, cell phones, etc. you may have been born to the darkness but we created it.

Decades? Slowest sinking ship in history.

I started 3d printing during COVID when people started talking about printing masks. I realized quickly that that wasn't a great idea but I had the printer at that point. Discovered quickly that it's was fun and useful for all kinds of stuff.
Printing lead to microcontrollers and minicomputera as I came up with cool stuff to print for neat home automation and various other useful tools.
This led to having a couple Raspberries kicking around which led me to extensive, self-hosted home automation. That's my current obsession.
I'm wondering where this goes next.

Those little guns go pew pew.

I have tried this. We saw it in the grocery store and wanted to see what it actually tasted like. I assure you we had no intention of ever buying it again. It was a traumatizing experience. It tastes sort of like salty spoiled fake maple flavor. It is almost impossible to get the flavor out of your mouth once it is there. It is very unpleasant. Would recommend 10 out of 10.

Screw that. I'd shock myself while they explained it just to make sure they weren't lying.

You chose unwisely.

How did they not put any guns?

The supreme Court is specifically saying the order is legal. He could say it's part of his official duties, in which case the order itself would be legal. His official duties include commanding the armed forces. If the president gives an order, a marine or a Navy SEAL cannot choose to not follow that order on legal grounds. They can choose to not follow on moral grounds but that refusal in itself would be illegal. Should it come to that, I would hope the vast majority of the armed forces would refuse the order.
In her dissent, justice Sotomayor specifically said that the president could order an assassination and could not be prosecuted for it. I am assuming she knows more than you are I about how the legal system works.

His job is to support and defend the Constitution of the United states. You certainly can argue that protecting the integrity of the voting system is part of that job.
