>except you can't build a gun from scratch in your basement
Can't build a a very sophisticated gun, but it is certainly possible to fabricate something that shoots bullets after nothing but a trip to the hardware store. For both your legal and physical well being, I do not recommend trying it.
"IF you have Grammerly plugin in your browser they capture EVERYTHING you type into a browser, and you've given them all of the rights to that data, for which they can sublicense at fee."
While it does seem like their TOS gives them the legal out to do this, is it not more likely that this is merely a CYA measure to cover any data they happen to collect and any way they happen to use it? If their TOS narrowly covered only the data they planned to collect and the uses they expected to have for it I would imagine every change to their code would become a potential legal liability.
I actually spoke to them because people at my company were using Grammerly, and every bit of data that was typed into a browser is going right to them and they in fact do have a sub-license to the content.
It's not joke. Any company that has employees using Grammmerly is pouring data out of their company, and what's worse is that nobody knows it's happening.
I would add, when mixing money and friends/family is unavoidable absolutely insist on a well worded contract. I know many people think that this is some sort of taboo among people you are close to, but it is essential all parties are very clear about what to expect from one another once money enters the picture.
It doesn't guarantee a trouble free time, but it at least avoids the tragic and very common "miscommunications".
>>If we are still emitting carbon in 2100, the planet will become uninhabitable.
Do you have any sources for this claim? From what I understand, the science does not support this claim. I've seen models predicting 200ft sea level rises, a drastic increase in deserts, and a possible failure of our current agricultural system, among other things. These are undoubtedly bad, but are far from rendering Earth "uninhabitable".
Exaggerations like this remind me of the anti-drug adds of my childhood. So much harm is done by over reaching the bounds of reality when trying to convince someone that an action could lead to harm. It's a quick way to have them doubting every part of your message.
If it's still about punishment, it's still coming from the wrong place, imo. Furthermore, everyone will have different opinions on which crimes are more heinous than others.
While it is true that some of the most diverse cities fall on the east and west coast, I think you'll find that the south is not unrepresented. As a resident of Houston, Texas (#23 on their list) it always bugs me to see people paint an entire region and people with one uniform brush. Something kind of bigoted about it, actually...
