Today is the anniversary of the Kent State shootings, or more appropriately the "May 4th Massacre". In the wake of recent events and our consideration of gun control laws I think this day deserves a great deal of reflection. Four Americans were murdered, and nine more wounded, by our own national guard simply for participating in an anti-war demonstration. If we want to consider limiting access to guns on american soil lets start with our own national guard and police, not our citizens. The last thing I want to see is an unarmed populace needing to deal with a well-armed police and military force. Lets focus on securing the rights of the citizen, not giving them up

@jk
the difficulty is that short term scientific consensus during an emergency =/= truth.

there's no apriori reason to suppose that the vaccine doesn't have unknown long term effects any more than the LHC would find the Higgs Boson.

In fact the LHC is a far simpler structure once you factor in broader political questions.

for what it's worth, I think for at risk groups the vaccine is a no brainer, otherwise the uncertainties are less bounded.

Can anybody recommend a recent and decent KVM switch? I want to switch between a laptop with USB-C and a more classical PC / workstation. Peripherals consist of a DisplayPort connected monitor and a DVI-D connected one, plus keyboard and mouse. #followerpower
