SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS NUMEROLOGY DECODE

Since we all know exactly who and what Spongebob is, I am going to do a Numerology decode.
When it comes to Numerology, there are many different things you can look into. I am going to look into the letters, patterns, and Numerology personality numbers.
SPONGEBOB has a personality #6. 6 is the number of compassion, work ethic, criticism, cleanliness, and productivity. In the funny show, we see that Spongebob is a workaholic. He has a 5 destiny number which shapes who you are overall. 5 is connected to youthfulness which explains the silliness of the Spongebob character. He is always laughing and doing things funny. The 5 energy indicates this. 5 also points to people, places, and things that are unique. He has an 8 soul urge which explains his undying ambition and creativity.
We can see that SPONGEBOB has 2 O's which has the numeric energy of 15 and numeric value of 6. 15 is the creative use of energy for productivity. Again, 6 is the number of routine, work ethic and productivity goes with this. This energy is not only his personality number, but also it is within his name. It's really in him.
SPONGEBOB HAS DOUBLE NUMERIC VALUES IN HIS NAME WHICH ARE, 7,6,5, AND 2. This explains why he is able to show his emotions and have moments of sensitivity(2). Very compassionate(2) but also childish and silly(5) and able to come up with plans that work(7). Since these #s has double influence, we must considered what they equal. 7 twice equals 14/5 which shows how he is responsible and can make work fun even though it is a duty(6). 6 twice equals 12/3 which shows his social skills, life, and creativity. Another youthful energy as well. 5 twice equals 10/1 which points to his bravery and capability to take action. 2 twice equals 4 which is home,family,responsibility, and structure on the home front and he would make everyone feel comfortable for the most part.

2024.05.12 10:02 Minerva-7395 A 11 ans, on s'occupe comment A LA MAISON en dehors des écrans ? (Ne me parlez pas d'activités extérieures SVP, MAISON est le critère discriminant)

EDIT : Et bien, je pars dormir puis travailler, et je reviens ce soir et la publi est verrouillée ? Qu'est-ce qu'il s'est passé ? C'est super relou, je ne peux pas répondre aux gens.
Bon, j'étais venu pour voir les autres comm et faire un petit résumé des idées qu'on m'avait suggérées pour ceux qui étaient intéressés :
Par contre, je ne comprends pas les gens qui me dispute presque quand je dis que je cherche des activités intérieures. Les idées à l'extérieur, j'en ai des tonnes et lui aussi. C'est pour ça que je posais la question pour quand on reste enfermés, typiquement pendant que je travaille et que lui n'a pas école puis collège bientôt. Ou quand on sort à un autre moment de la journée (exemple on sort l'après-midi, mais il doit s'occuper entre 7h et midi), ou en attendant que son frère se réveille le matin, ou que sais-je...)
********************************************************************************************************************
Hello le sub,
On ne va pas se mentir, que ce soit moi ou mon mari, dans les années 90 on passait notre temps libre à la maison devant le club dorothée et la 5, quand on ne jouait pas sur la mégadrive puis la supernes. On faisait aussi nos devoirs, et en ce qui me concerne je passais un temps non négligeable à m'occuper de la maison ou à aider ma mère à faire du repassage ou du ménage au black.
Bref, nous voici en 2024, j'ai 2 garçons et l'aîné à 11 ans 1/2. Et comme tous les parents, j'aimerais qu'il passe moins de temps sur les écrans que ce qu'il fait quand on le laisse faire open bar. Surtout que depuis quelques temps il ne regarde que des choses débiles sur YouTube, alors que son frère regarde plutôt des documentaires ou encore quelques fois des dessins animés (mais ça devient de plus en plus rare). Quand ils étaient plus petits, si on disait : " assez de YouTube/TV, maintenant vous faites autre chose". Et même quand ils râlaient, au bout d'un moment ils trouvaient quelque chose à faire et ils jouaient, dessinaient, lisaient... Toujours valable pour le petit (9 ans 1/2) mais pas le grand.
Là, au bout de ce week-end de 5 jours, c'est vraiment flagrant. Et je n'ai aucune idée à lui proposer. Là, ils sont partis faire du jardinage avec leur père, et tous les jours on leur a fait une sortie ( cinéma un jour, accrobranche un autre, visite d'un jardin asiatique, balade, et on a même été à la commémoration du 8 mai dans ma ville, je me doute que c'est pas le truc le plus passionnant mais en tout cas ça les as occupés la moitié de la journée - et typiquement petite j'aurais eu mon cerveau en ébullition à ce moment de tas d'activités que j'aurais aimé faire dès qu'on m'aurait libérée).
J'aimerais lui donner des idées d'occupation ou lui donner des clés pour s'orienter vers quelque chose (ne me demandez pas s'il n'a pas un passe-temps favori, bien-sûr que si : youtube, vous avez compris !). Des activités A LA MAISON qui se font SEUL. Je mets des capitales pour que ce soit bien clair ^^
Ils font quoi vos gosses, vous faisiez quoi vous, pour ceux qui ne passaient pas leur vie devant la télé ? Je précise qu'il lit quand-même, et qu'il fait bien ses devoirs (il a le dispositif "devoirs faits" à l'école pour info, donc peu de choses à faire à la maison). Mais 80% du temps, il tourne en rond, il s'ennuie. Et sa chambre est propre et bien rangée.

2024.05.08 17:33 According_Couple_398 Cant connect my button to another java file

(we are having this project as self study, our professor literally just said make a ordering system interface hardcoded without the help of gui builder our last lesson is method and encapsulation)
So we had a group project that is to create an ordering system without using the jframe gui builder to just drag and drop and we are required to have it hard coded and I created the main code where in my classmates will give me their codes/java files with their respective assigned parts (example: i do the login page and he will do the register page)
The thing is it just doesnt connect I added the actionListener that will create a new Main file
it goes like this JButton iconButton4 = new JButton();
ImageIcon imageIcon4 = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\PC\\Desktop\\icons\\report.jpg");
iconButton4.setIcon(imageIcon4);
iconButton4.setContentAreaFilled(false);
iconButton4.setBorderPainted(false);
iconButton4.setBounds(620, 310, 140, 140);
p2.add(iconButton4);
p2.setComponentZOrder(iconButton4, 0);
iconButton4.ActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
new Main();
}
});
and I was asking chatgpt for the same problem and he was saying the same solution I was doing, a friend also said that I should try to instatiate a constructor thing with the main class. So is the problem because the file that was sent to me has a Main thingy even tho my file is already the main or its like a code thing
heres the main file thingy package login; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.text.MaskFormatter; import java.awt.print.*; public class Main extends JFrame implements ActionListener { JLabel lb, lb1, lb2, lb3, lb5; JTextField tf1, tf2, tf5; JTextArea tf3; JButton btn, submitButton, printButton; Main() { super("Report"); lb5 = new JLabel("Select Date (yyyy-MM-dd):"); lb5.setBounds(20, 20, 150, 20); tf5 = new JTextField(10); tf5.setBounds(170, 20, 100, 20); btn = new JButton("Choose Date"); btn.setBounds(280, 20, 120, 20); btn.addActionListener(this); submitButton = new JButton("Submit"); submitButton.setBounds(170, 50, 100, 30); submitButton.addActionListener(this); printButton = new JButton("Print"); printButton.setBounds(280, 300, 100, 50); printButton.addActionListener(this); lb = new JLabel("Report Transaction:"); lb.setBounds(30, 80, 450, 30); lb.setForeground(Color.red); lb.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 20)); setVisible(true); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setSize(500, 500); lb1 = new JLabel("Date"); lb1.setBounds(20, 120, 100, 20); tf1 = new JTextField(50); tf1.setBounds(130, 120, 200, 20); lb2 = new JLabel("Name"); lb2.setBounds(20, 150, 100, 20); tf2 = new JTextField(100); tf2.setBounds(130, 150, 200, 20); lb3 = new JLabel("Transaction"); lb3.setBounds(20, 180, 100, 20); tf3 = new JTextArea(); tf3.setBounds(130, 180, 250, 100); setLayout(null); // components to the JFrame add(lb5); add(tf5); add(btn); add(submitButton); add(printButton); add(lb); add(lb1); add(tf1); add(lb2); add(tf2); add(lb3); add(tf3); tf1.setEditable(false); tf2.setEditable(false); tf3.setEditable(true); //can edit by the user;editable } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { //to open the date picker if (e.getSource() == btn) { String selectedDate = showDatePickerDialog(); if (selectedDate != null) { tf5.setText(selectedDate); } } else if (e.getSource() == submitButton) { try { String s = tf5.getText(); //dummy data String s1 = "Ivan"; String s2 = "13:20- User processed an order of 2 Patty's Twist Nuggets Meal and 2 Caramel Drift with a total of 320Php."; tf1.setText(s); tf2.setText(s1); tf3.setText(s2); } catch (Exception ex) { System.out.println(ex); } } else if (e.getSource() == printButton) { printReport(); } } private String showDatePickerDialog() { JDialog dialog = new JDialog(this, "Date of Transaction2", true); dialog.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); dialog.setSize(300, 200); dialog.setLocationRelativeTo(this); MaskFormatter maskFormatter; try { maskFormatter = new MaskFormatter("####-##-##"); maskFormatter.setPlaceholderCharacter('_'); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); return null; } JFormattedTextField formattedTextField = new JFormattedTextField(maskFormatter); formattedTextField.setColumns(10); JButton selectButton = new JButton("Select"); selectButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { dialog.dispose(); } }); JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.add(new JLabel("Select Date (yyyy-MM-dd):")); panel.add(formattedTextField); panel.add(selectButton); dialog.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER); dialog.setVisible(true); return formattedTextField.getText(); } private void printReport() { String date = tf1.getText(); String name = tf2.getText(); String transaction = tf3.getText(); //report content StringBuilder reportContent = new StringBuilder(); reportContent.append("Report Transaction:\n"); reportContent.append("Date: ").append(date).append("\n"); reportContent.append("Name: ").append(name).append("\n"); reportContent.append("Transaction: ").append(transaction); PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); printerJob.setPrintable(new Printable() { public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) { if (pageIndex > 0) { return NO_SUCH_PAGE; } Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics; g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY()); reportContent.toString(); return PAGE_EXISTS; } }); if (printerJob.printDialog()) { try { printerJob.print(); } catch (PrinterException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } } public static void main(String args[]) { new Main(); } }

Complete my MP4/4 with own 3D print wheels and some rear end retouch
https://preview.redd.it/cnnpufxaj1zc1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=200794c10f1bfde482fa20e9c70a91cf8832116e
My first post here,
Like everyone, I'm not really like factory build the rear wheels like that. When Searching read some MOC wheels resource, so reached there.
I'm free in holiday. So I try challenge myself to improve my MP4/4.
The wheel set is my first 3D print project. This is version 3, Created from blender. printed by workshop. Trial and error cost on 3D print such as another box of MP4/4.
original plan is soft tire with strong rims. but cost is sky high. So turned to SLA full resin wheels.

2024.05.02 21:28 ksafin Dot Matrix printer adding offset after every page - help?

Hi all!
I had some help earlier in this subreddit that helped me get my Dot Matrix printer working with the on-board fonts - it was hugely helpful. I'm back with one final issue I'm having to see if anyone has any idea what might be going on.
The printer is an Epson FX-890IIN 9-pin dot matrix. I'm using it with a Generic Text Driver in order to force it to use onboard fonts rather than dithering out a bitmap of the page, which doesn't look good.
Everything was going well, until I tried to print multiple copies (all on continuous feed paper) where it seemed to start adding a minor offset after every page - about one line or so. It's minor, but since my text is most of a page, it means that the top-bottom margins are shifting, and I can only really use the first 3 copies; after that, the text is printed across the continuous feed tear margin and is unusable. Basically, I can't really print more than one copy at a time.
See photo below of pages 1-3, where you can see the first page is as-intended, and then each subsequent page gets the offset added, moving all of the text down the page.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
I used the actual printer driver (not Generic Text) to configure all the settings I could see for the printer that might matter. Paper is set to "Letter", and I set Top Margin Priority to "Driver". It's worth noting that I am using the actual Printer driver to configure the printer but then using the Generic Text Driver to print to the printer.

2024.05.02 20:48 beverlyhellbillies Recommendations while waiting for stardew 1.6?

Hey! I’m wondering if someone could recommend a game for me as I go crazy waiting on stardew 1.6 to hit consoles. I have PS5 and Switch right now! No PC and I can’t do handhelds anymore due to disability
Some cozy games I really enjoyed are: animal crossing (GameCube and new horizons), stardew valley, roots of pacha, yonder cloud catcher chronicles, Pokémon (except arceus which gives me vertigo), Zelda (especially BOTW, TOTK, OOT), Lego games, Hogwarts legacy, sims bustin’ out if anyone remembers that haha. I have played harvest moon (on GBA, friends of mineral town?) but found the energy depletion and slow progress too annoying to enjoy it. I was kind of enjoying Graveyard Keeper but it crashed too much to be worth it, along with that tiny tiny font haha. I usually prefer games that I can sink quite a few hours into though :)

2024.04.26 18:48 babetoduarte Created a Luminous Mysteries Insert for the Blessed Be God Prayer Book

Created a Luminous Mysteries Insert for the Blessed Be God Prayer Book
Hello fellow Catholicism Redditors. I recently purchased a copy of Blessed Be God, which has put an amazing set of prayers, readings, and meditations in my pocket. But since it is a reprint of a much older book, its section on the rosary does not include the optional Luminous Mysteries.
While I initially carried a small piece of paper with the Luminous Mysteries within the pages of the book, I was lacking some meditations on them, and I really like the aesthetics of this small prayer book. So, I took it upon myself to create a printable insert for the Luminous Mysteries, which matches the looks, style, and dimensions of the prayer book closely.
With the aid of contemporary tools like ChatGPT, other online sources, and my own creativity, I tried to produce meditations for each Luminous Mystery that resemble the style of the ones presented for the other Mysteries. I also included a brief explanation on the Luminous Mysteries, and an updated weekly prayer schedule for those of us that choose to incorporate them.
I used typical household printer and paper to print these out on two separate pages, aligned them with the help of a window/source of light, and glued them together with some cold silicone. I then cut the insert to size, and rounded the edges. It can surely be printed more professionally, but this is sufficient for my needs. It fits perfectly into the book, and now I have access to these additional Mysteries and their meditations whenever I want to reach for them.
While the size and style of the font is not a perfect match, I used a Free and Open-Source font (FreeSerif), and I'm very pleased with the results! So much so, that I decided to share it: if you'd like to print one for yourself, you can find and download a free printable PDF version of it using this Shared Dropbox LINK.
(Sorry for the confusion, I deleted the previous post as I had to correct a typo in the Insert's PDF. This post has the right version of the file and pictures that don't show the previous error).

2024.04.26 01:19 BeelzebubParty Hey, i've been writing an Eddsworld IT au and i would really appreciate it if you could read chapter one and tell me what you think. :>

CHAPTER 1
A gloomy rain fell down from the steely grey clouds above England, creating puddles in pot holes and mud pits in mounds of dirt. The small english town of Derry had been flooded before, and the townspeoples fears of another had put everyone on edge. Nobody dared utter the word though, their superstitions wouldn't allow that. People in Derry were well known for their superstitious and cagey behavior, but this was not entirely unwarranted. It wasn't just a flood here and there once in a while in Derry, they had a long and colorful past with all types of disasters, some man made, others acts of god.
There was the great black spot fire of 1979, in which a white supremacist group burnt down a local disco predominantly visited by Derry's small black and latino community, accidentally torching half the town down in the process. In 1952 there was the expansive national ASDF league shoot out, which lasted a total nine hours in the Derry town square before the police finally got the upper hand and killed every gang member on sight. But the most horrific of all was in 1925, when the Derry ironworks exploded, killing all it's workers as well as everyone participating in the annual Derry christmas parade nearby, most of which were children.
These were just a few of the horrific events Derry township had gone through, and bizzarely, no matter how gruesome each event was, none were ever on the news or remembered too well. That was just how Derry worked, despite it's reputation as a sleepy, dreary town where nothing much ever happened, tragedies were rampant. So you couldn't quite blame the people for being superstitious and scared, especially in autumn when the weather was at it's absolute worst. It was late autumn now though, there was only about four more days till winter, and the worries of floods would soon turn into worries for blizzards, and people were certain the worst of the worst had already came and went.
On this fine rainy saturday in a white two story house, Tom Denbrough was sitting upstairs, doing what he did everyday, writing songs. He'd been wrestling with an awful case of influenza the past few days, hocking up phlegm and wiping snot from his nose every few minutes 'til it was rubbed raw. He had not much energy for anything else because of it, all he could muster the strength to do now was lay in his checkered, tissue covered bed sheets, and wait for his mother to bring him chicken noodle soup and sprite to ease his churning tummy.
It wasn't too bad though, a lot of people can't stand being alone, but Tom often thrived in solitude. Ever since he was a kid he'd taken a liking to it, he was "introverted" as some one would like to say, but back then introverts were seen as more of a problem than just a thing you could be. It felt odd for him to say "ever since he was a kid" as if he wasn't still a kid now, but he technically wasn't. He'd bid farewell to such a label by september, and swapped out the childish number twelve to the unlucky number thirteen, and Tom still wasn't so sure if he was happy with that.
He didn't quite feel like an adult, and people still had yet to treat him as such, but Tom had his own suspicions about that. He knew there was more reason than just him still being a minor, because the truth of the matter was that everyone enjoyed babying him because of his condition.
He was disabled, dis-abled, the word making him feel weird even now. Before Tom was called such a thing he had considered the word disabled to exclusively mean people in wheelchairs, missing legs, or some of the really out there stuff like conjoined twins. He never pictured disabled meaning some on like him, a boy with a bad stutter but a healthy body and brain. Perhaps that was closed minded of him, but alas, Tom was only thirteen, and his scope of reference for the world was much smaller than he pretended it to be.
Even the doctors in Derry didn't treat him all that compassionately, insisting to both him and his mother that he must have been "slow" in some way, but just hiding it, no matter what he or his parents said. It took Tom fighting tooth and nail just to get out of special Ed. which was basically just four kids in a classroom asked to do elementary level shit because the teacher did not believe they were capable of more. He still had to go to regular speech therapy though, which Tom loathed since in all his years of going it seemed to have done him no favors.
He still stuttered, barely getting through sentences without stumbling over at least one word, and getting even worse whenever he felt nervous or scared. That was probably the worst part about it, Tom had never liked being emotional or letting people know he was affected by things, especially when kids at school enjoyed getting a rise out of him. His panicked little drawn out "bu-bu-bu-bu-" sounding like sweet music to his tormentors ears. It was nearly possible for him to hide his feelings or keep his cool whenever he was scared, because that stupid god damn stutter was like a built in lie detector.
He didn't know where the stutter had came from, there were theories here and there, but none of them ever made him feel better. The most likely one involved a car rear ending him when he was only a toddler, knocking him into a coma but miraculously not killing him. He was in it for only a few weeks, but emerged with his stutter, which of course young and niave Tom didn't understand would cause him so much trouble later down the line.
Because Tom didn't like to talk much, he spent a lot of time writing music in his room, his lyrics were all very hamfisted and schlocky, but for a thirteen year old boy they were quite good, and would only get better the more with age. He loved music, lived and breathed it, specifically the sounds of motown records, funk, rap, rock and roll, all the sorts. He had to keep that all a secret from his mother though, she was a musical elitist of sorts. She went to a fancy schamncy music school and had been teaching piano to students for years, so she had a hard time enjoying anything that wasn't classical or something their grandma would listen to.
When Tom went out to buy a bass he had to mow a crap ton of lawns and convince his dad to keep it a secret from mom, but it was well worth all the effort. He only got to play it when she was away at work, never daring to smuggle it out of the house and go busk unless some one decided to be an asshole and tell her. But he loved his bass more than anything, he even gave her a name, since Tom figured all rock stars named their instruments. He chose Susan, after the families first and only dog they had when he was little, and it seemed to stick. Ever since then Tom had remained adamant that you couldn't play an intrument with out giving it a name first.
Even though he enjoyed writing music, and it was the thing that made him the most happy, there was still a slight underlying sadness to it whenever he'd play. He'd lwanted to be a rock star ever since he first heard Van Halen and fell in love with the sound, but with that dream also came the knowledge it'd never happen. Afterall, who the hell would wanna hear him on a record? Stuttering all over the place, stumbling over words, heck, people would send in complaints that how their brand new records were scratched and skipping. There was nobody like him on the radio, and that painful truth kept him from ever singing to anybody but a very small and select audience. And by audience, he meant his stuffed teddy bear and little brother, absolutely no one else.
Speaking of which, his very small audience was on his way up stairs, stomping like a clydesdale despite their mothers constant reprimands about it. Jon knocked on Tom's bedroom door, then immediately pushed it open without being invited in. He was only six, so things like boundries and personal space were not so ingrained him. Neither was self conciousness, maliciousness, or the ability to not be incredibly annoying, but Tom tried very hard to not hold that last one against him. He scanned the room with wide and curious eyes, like he had just stumbled upon a new and foreign world despite being in here many times before.
He loved Tom's room, he loved it more than his own. He thought it was so cool and groen up how he had band posters on his walls. There was a ton of other cool stuff too like a nintendo 64 he'd sometimes let him play, a drawing desk, and a heap of awesome clothes he said he could have when he got bigger! It was a lot cooler than his own bedroom, which was fairytale prince themed and had his half finished lego projects strewn all about, but he still liked his room well enough.
Tom looked up from the note book he was currently writing on and wiped his nose with his shirt sleeve. "Whuh-what d-do you want?" Asked Tom, a little curt. He was good at being polite and caring to Jon most of the time, he was only six afterall, he couldn't go around screaming at him, but it was harder to be patient with him when he was working on something.
Jon ran up to Tom, as if right on cue and looked up to him with needy adoring eyes that seemed to soften his attitude. "Toooom, I'm very sad..." Jon complained, and Tom rolled his eyes. He forced a smile and put the pencil he was writing with down "Oh yeah? are you actu-u-ually sad or just buh-bored?". Jon giggled at how blunt he was being "I'm sad and boreeeed.". Tom leaned closer to Jon's face, but not too close since he was still sick and didn't want him to catch it. "Sad peop-puh-puh-ple don't giggle, moron." He said, booping Jon on the nose with his index finger, causing him to erupt into another giggle.
If their mother was here in the room with them she'd no doubt say "Thomas! Stop calling your brother a moron!" Then lightly smack him on the back of the head, not enough to actually hurt but enough to knock some sense into him. Jon didn't mind it at all though, he saw it as just his brother being silly with him, and he'd always call Tom names right back. "You're a cheesehead." Jon said, biting down on his tongue and smiling. "You're a buh-buttbrain." Tom retorted. "You're a cakesniffer!" Jon exclaimed. "You're an A-ho-hole." Jon went silent at that. That was a no no word, well, not quite, but almost. Mom and dad were very strict about no no words, although he heard Tom say them all the time over the phone when he wasn't supposed to be listening.
Suddenly, another wave of laughter came from him, so loud and hearty he had to hold his belly like santa while he laughed. "You're an A-hole!" Jon said, still laughing. The two boys then launched into a big silly argument of who was the bigger A-hole, eventually ending with Tom proclaiming Jon's A-hole was bigger than the entire continent and both the boys giggling like mad. "Now guh-go away puke stuh-stain, i'm sick and I don't want you to catch it." Tom said, smiling and gently shooing his brother away. "Waiiiit! Peas Tommy, play me a song!" Jon begged, putting his hands together like he was praying.
"It's p-puh-please, not peas, Jon. B-besides, I can't sing, my voice is too hoarse and my stuh-stuh-stuh-" Tom closed his eyes and took a moment to collect himself. "I'm terrible singer." He continued. "No you're nawt! you're an amazing singer! Peas, just one song?" Jon pleaded. "Play me the one about the kid who grows up to be a superhero! Peas peas peas peaaaasss?". Tom shook his head "No can do, kid. Go b-buh-bug some one else before you catch my-" he sneezed into his elbow, grossing his little brother out. "Eugh... cold." Tom grumbled.
"There's nothing to do thoooouuugh." Jon complained, crossing his arms in a huff. "Why don't you go bug mom or dad?" "Mommy's practicing piano and daddy's trying to get the electricity back on..." he mumbled, a little sad. The constant rain and thunder had knocked out a lot of the houses in their neighborhood's power and still had yet to kick back on. The Denbrough boys were quite lucky to have their father with them, he was amazing when it came to things that involved a screwdriver or a wrench, and you'd never guess it by looking at him.
He'd hardly wear anything but Hawaiian pineapple shirts and socks with sandals, but he was still a very smart man none the less. He worked for their town's electrical company, and Tom could still remember the look of pride he had during career day in primary school when he told everyone his dad was responsible for keeping the town's power in check. It was quickly dashed when some asshole decided to ruin it by asking if his dad slept on the job and zapped him on accident and that's why he "Couldn't talk right.". The worst part of it was that Tom was pretty sure he didn't mean for it to be an insult, and was just genuinely asking it out of ignorance. He deeply hoped wherever that kid was now, he was in great pain.
Their mothers piano playing should have been obvious to Tom, it was loud and carried it's way all through out the house, even up the stairs, but it seemed to be just background noise at this point. He hadn't noticed it until now, but his mother was playing much faster than usual, she was in the "zone" so to speak, and wanted to hold onto that for as long as she could, so both Jon and Tom were shit out of luck. Tom sighed "Jeez." He leaned back into his pillows and thought for a moment, shoving all the gross snot filled tissues and crumpled up rejected lyrics from his first few failed attemps at writing a new song.
Jon awkwardly shifted around on his feet, swinging his arms side to side as if waiting for further instruction on what to do. "It's a damn sh-shuh-shame that it's raining so bad or else you could play outside." Jon nodded, and sighed, genuinely disappointed by the amount of rain. Suddenly, Tom snapped his fingers and rose up from his bed "H-hold on- I just remembered s-omething.". He quickly grabbed a folded up newspaper that his mom had left on his night stand for him to read, then ripped out one of the pages.
"What are you doing Tom?" Innocently asked Jon. He straightended it out and folded it into a triangle shape, sticking his tongue out like he was hard at work. "I'm muh-makin you a p-puh-puh-aper boat, just like dad taught me how to do when I was s-six." He explained. Jon's face lit up "Wow, really!?" he waddled over to the bed and smiled. "Yep, dad and I used to sail these all the time. Do me f-f-fuh-fav-or and go in the basement and bring back some puh-puh-puh-puh-" Tom paused again and forced another smile. "Paraffin. It's in a little b-box that says gulf." he finished.
"You mean... in the basement?" Jon mumbled, suddenly a little intimidated. "Yes, you're not scared are you?" His brother asked, half amused and half concerned. On one hand, it was very cute that Jon felt the need to impress him and pretend to be tough, on the other, he was barely not a toddler anymore, and Tom didn't wanna scare him on purpose. Jon shook his head "No i'm not scared, being scareds for babies. I can do it.". "O-o-okay, but j-just in case... here." He handed him a walkie-talkie, the kind they'd usually use to communicate whenever they'd pretend to be soldiers on the battlefield together during summer.
"C-cuh-call me if you need me." he instructed, and Jon nodded again. He skipped happily to the door, only stopping whe Tom called out "And remember Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-". "Paraffin, I know!" Jon cheerfully replied, figuring if he didn't say it Tom would be stuck on the p's forever. He shut the door and hopped down the stairs, leaving Tom to his very important task of sitting in bed and sneezing. He only waited 'til after Jon was gone to let his smile drop and chastise himself for not actually saying the word. He'd never show Jon just how much he loathed his stutter, especially since Jon found it cool and Tom didn't wanna ruin the magic of it.
When he first learned how to talk he'd constantly immitate it, which naturally caused their parents some fear that the stutter was genetic or could be "caught" so to speak. Jon had no idea how much Tom hated his stutter, how it made people see him, how it actively dashed his dreams. Sometimes at school he'd get so flustered he'd have to clutch his desk and try so very hard to form a sentence and it still wasn't cohesive.
He was not and never would be just Tom Denbrough to his classmates, or even his teachers, although they'd never admit that. He was Stuttering Tom, Tuh-Tuh-Tuh-Tom to the particularly cruel ones, and Tom hated it. The absolute worst part of being in a situation like Tom's was no doubt the inability to open up about how much you dislike yourself. After all, preteen boys are already closed off, especially so in a small rural town like Derry where the homophobes outnumbered the gay community ten to two, but Tom had it the worst.
Nobody wants to be the guy to come out and say you think stuttering makes you a freak, all you'd really do is bring other disabled people down and raise up the dickheads who instilled that self hatred in him to begin with, but that's how he felt ans he couldn't help that. He was sure that's how his parents felt too, they did love him dearly and saw to almost all his needs 24/7, but they were still eagerly waiting for him to stop the stutter, and had so for a long time.
The doctors told him it'd only stick around for a few years after he got over the shock of the coma, but that date came and went, and still, Tom's stutter remained. You could tell they were both disappointed, and he truly could not blame them, because he was disappointed too. He didn't know what was wrong with him, or why he never got better despite countless visits to the speech therapist, but he began to wonder if there was something incredibly wrong with him. Everyone felt that way, even if they pretended like they didn't, everyone except for Jon that is. Jon adored him with or without the stutter, and Tom was supremely thankful for that.
While Tom continued to chastise himself, Jon hopped down the stairs joyfully. So joyfully, he nearly forgot that he'd be going down to the cellar, where dreams and little boys would surely go to die. He dashed through the house, past his mom's prized women's bowling league trophy's, past the grand piano, and past their big fancy living room he and Tom would solve puzzles in.
He threw open the cellar door and stared down at the abyss in front of him, fianlly letting the fear and anxiety settle in. Rickety, paint chipped stairs with large empty gaps of space between them disappeared off into the darkness of the room, the power still not back on despite their fathers best efforts. The bottom of the basement had been flooded at some point during one of the worse storms of the season, and the smell of soaked moldy wood and muddy water grossed Jon out quite a bit.
He stood there for a moment, a creeping sense of dread tugging at his chest like a dog on your pant leg. He was waiting for something, a large claw or alien tentecale to reach out from the dark and rip him to bits, but there was nothing. He must have been standing there for a while too because suddenly the walkie-talkie blared to life with Tom's voice, and he jumped back in shock.
"What's t-taking so long?" Asked Tom, and Jon nervously swallowed. "I stopped in the kitchen for a snack." He lied, he knew you weren't supposed to do that, lying was probably the worst thing you could do to your family. Well, that's what Jon thought was the worst at least, He was a little bit too young to know about some of the truly awful stuff some people do to their own kin. Familicide, Sexual abuse, beating, his parents and Tom had been working hard to keep his innocence. Derry was a hard place to do that in, it seemed like every couple of years some one went crazy and killed a lot of people. Jon had even heard bits and pieces of such things being whispered by his mom to his uncle over the phone, but for the most part, his childhood had stayed in tact.
"You know if muh-mom sees you snacking before din-din-er she'll have a cow." said Tom. "I know, i'm sorry." Jon mumbled. "It's whatever dude, just hu-hurry, and do-don't forget to grab to some muh-muh-muh-matches and one of those wax burner thingies.". "Okay, i'm doing it now." He said, then stuffed the walkie-talkie back into his pants pocket, but he was not, in fact, doing it now.
He still stood at the top of the stairs, terrified by the prospect of going down below, and still waiting for the inevitable mutated bat creature to emerge and drag him down into the depths of their flooded basement. Then, just as he was thinking about turning back, his own thoughts began to taunt him. "Come oooon Jon, you're not a baby are you? Only babies get scared by stuff like monsters and the dark. Do you want a boat or not?" He thought. "No." He replied and clenched his fists, grumbling into the darkness "I'm not a baby. I can do this.".
He took one step down the creaky stairs, frightening himself by the surprisingly loud noise they made, but calmed himself. He reiterated "I am not a baby." under his breath over and over again, as if it was a powerful spell that could keep all of the monsters away. It reminded him of how, whenever Tom's stutter would get particularly bad, his mom would have him recite these poems that were meant to help him focus and form sentences again. Sometimes they'd help him alot, but they could never make the stutter go away completely.
That was kind of what was happening now to Jon, he was still very much scared, so scared that if something popped out at him right now he may very well wet his pants, but the words coddled him and made him feel like he could press on. He hopped off the last step and into the flood, the water so low it could not even reach the six year old childs ankles. He turned his attention to a large rickety shelf under the cellar stairs and inspected the contents.
There were many items on it, shoepolish, old dish rags, wrenches, flashlights with no batteries, a can of turtle wax. For some reason, out of all those objects the turtle wax was what caught his attention, even more than the Paraffin and matches he came down here to get. The company's logo on the front was what really seemed to draw his eye, it was nothing special really, hardly as interesting of a mascot as a Tony the tiger or even a Ronald Mcdonald, just a tiny albino turtled posing proudly above the words turtle and wax. But Jon just couldn't stop staring at it for some reason. A spontaneous pang of familiarity hit him in the chest, as he racked his brain to try and remember where he had seen a turtle like that before.
Was it a dream? It felt too real to be jusr a dream, but much too distant to be a memory. He'd have to think about that later when he had the time, right now he had a mission to do. He snatched up the box, matches, and wax burner then bolted for the steps as fast as he could. Now that he had gotten what he came for he wasn't gonna waste any time down there. He ran as fast as his little legs could, begging god or whatever diety was listening to please not let anything grab his ankles as he ran back up the stairs.
The damp darkness of the cellar was suffocating and opressive, and Jon feared once he got back to the candle lit parlor room, that would be when the creature laid his slimy hands on him and pulled him back. He had made it though, despite all odds he was alive and still had yet to be digested by some hungry beast living under the stairs. He slammed the door and pressed his back against it, panting from how fast he was running as the fear of the dark slowly disappeared until the next time he had to confront it.
His mother suddenly stopped her piano playing to look up at him from across the room, somewhat worried, but highly annoyed by her son's slamming of the door. "Johnathan Bowley Denbrough, what have I told you about slamming that door?" She scolded, but not too harshly as her son was clearly frightened. He swept his bangs out of his face and panted a little more "Sorry mum." he muttered. She shook her head dismissively and went right back to playing Für Elise, which actually helped ease his anxiety.
He headed back up stairs and quickly placed all the stuff on Tom's night stand, eagerly watching as he melted the wax with such hypnotic glee he couldn't help but bounce a little. Tom dipped his finger in the wax and spread it over the paper boat, turning the boat from a nice white to an odd yellowy brown color. Jon got a little too close for comfort, putting his head over his brother's shoulder and breathing quite heavily on him, and yet, Tom still didn't seem to get annoyed.
The only time he'd really ever get annoyed with Jon's behavior was when he'd repeat stuff and ask incessant questions, which he had slowly learned over the years not to do for his brother's sake. They were seeing to each other needs, and it wasn't wasn't just because Tom didn't wanna get in trouble or Jon didn't wanna get yelled at, but a genuine shared affection for one another.
Jon dipped a finger into the wax and began to spread some on it's side with him, smiling and perfectly content. "C-careful you little cootie, you'll make it too heh-heavy and it'll flop on it's side." Tom gently reprimanded. "Oops.." he said, taking his hand away and letting the rest on his finger dry until he could peel it off. "It's oh-kuh-kuh-kay, just take it easy." He said, giving his brother a reassuring headpat to show there was no hard feelings.
Once the wax was spread, Tom took a sharpie from a Disneyland branded cup he used to store his pens and markers and then uncapped it with his mouth. He wrote "S.S. Jon" on the side in cursive font, and even drew a little stick figure captain waving on top of the boat, which Jon found very silly. He handed it to him, gingerly and carefully like it was a one of a kind art piece that belonged in a museum. "She's all ready Captain." he said, raising his hand to his forehead and doing a two finger salute. Jon giggled, but tilted his head in confusion "She?" he wondered.
"You always call boats a sh-she Jon." He explained, and Jon's mouth fell open like he just learned some amazing untold truth about the universe. He clutched the boat in his hands and grinned, looking up with pure adoration and love for the thirteen year old sitting on the bed. Then, quite randomly, Jon lunged right at him for a big hug, startling Tom.
"Agh! What the heck are you doing?! You're gonna g-geh-get sick!" He shouted. Jon laughed then kissed Tom on the cheek, something he hadn't done since he was three. "Eugh, now you're d-d-definetly gonna get sick. Get off me." He lightly scooched him off and Jon looked back to him, still smiling, and still very thankful. "Thanks Tom Tom, thanks alot." He said, and Tom shrugged.
"It's fine, just don't come crying to me when you get the flu and start vu-vomiting your g-guh-guh-uts out.". Tom paused to loudly cough, momentarily drawing some concern from his brother. "And p-p-put on a rain coat when you go out, I d-don't want you getting soaked." He wheezed, huddling under the covers. "Okay!" Jon cheerfully replied, closing the door and heading to the down stairs closet where they kept all the coats.
He put the small baby blue rain slicker on over the baggy sweater he was wearing and finangled with the buttons for a while, still not all that good at hand eye coordination dude to his young age. When he finally managed to get most of them through the holes, he pumped his fist in celebration, and even did a spin. On his way out the door he stopped to grab a pair of black galoshes that still had some mud left on them. He and Tom had went outside together a week ago and simply neglected to clean them since, then, as if in an act of karma for being so lazy, Tom caught a very bad cold the following day.
Jon waddled out the front door into the cool autumn air, making squeaky squishing noises with each step from the rubber soles of his boots. He took a few steps off the porch, only to be greeted by a sudden but gentle breeze hitting the side of his face and pushing his hair around. The now weaning rain fell down from the sky and onto poor little Jon's head, tapping politely on his hood as if to say "Hello Jon! It's your buddy, the rain! Let me in!". He walked a little bit further until he was at the edge of the driveway, then turned around to look back up at his house. It was a moderately above average two story home, nothing special, but to Jon it might as well had heen a castle. His bedroom was right across from Tom's on the second floor, although his over looked the back yard and Tom's overlooked the drive way.
He was peeking through the bay window his bed was by now, standing up on his knees and peeling back the curtains to watch him walk away. Since the house was still dark from the power outage, Tom was barely visible to him. He looked like a floating disembodied head, something Jon found both silly and a little spooky. He jumped in place and waved wildly at him, as if he thought Tom might possibly be able to miss the toddler dressed in a bright blue rain slicker and boots. Tom smiled then lifted up the walkie-talkir in his hand to his mouth "B-be careful. There's alot of w-weirdos out there.". Jon rolled his eyes, still smiling, but a tiny bit annoyed.
He took out his own walkie-talkie from his back pocket and pressed the button to respond. "You sound like mum." he joked. "C-can it." Tom said, a little flustered, especially since he knew it was true. Depite their differences, Tom had always been more like his mother than his father, and the opposite had been true for Jon. He giggled at his embarrassment, "I'll stay safe, don't be such a cry baby, Tom.". "Hey, I resent that label, I'm a cry man." And now they were both snickering over the radios.
"I'm serious though, stay safe." Tom reiterated. "Ok ok- I will- I love you." Jon said, and Tom went silent for a moment as he did not know how to respond. Jon was lucky enough to still be at the age where you could tell another guy you loved them and no one cared, and Tom desperately wished for him to stay like that and never get to old for saying I love you. Lord knows he was forced to out of it a long time ago, and he'd all but forgotten how to do it.
"I- uh- uhm-" Tom hesitated for a second, even with out all the macho man bullshit he had to go through at school, Tom had a hard time letting others know how he felt. Trying to hock out the words was like trying to hock out a pill you didn't mean to take. He swallowed "I lo-love you too." He spat out, and Jon seemed content with that.
He cheerily skipped down the street with his walkie-talkie in one hand and Paper boat in the other, splashing in rain water with each stomp. Tom fell back down onto his bed and sighed, totally exhausted. He wanted to take a long nap now, and he seemed quite over due for one judging by his throbbing head ache. His mothers constant repitition of Für Elise didn't really help that at all, if anything it made it worse. God, if he could have just a single moment of silence he would be happy as a clam.
What Tom didn't know though was that this song's meaning was about to be forever changed for him, from just an annoyingly pompous piano tune to a song that even twenty seven years later could still send him into a trance. From that day forward, anytime he heard those first few notes he'd always have the exact same haunting thought. "That's it, that's the song. That's the song mom was playing the day Jon passed away.". And as it turned out, that rainy view of Jon from his bedside window would be the last time he'd ever see his brother again.

2024.04.24 10:28 Vyslante [Dailymotion] Une histoire de jouets

Il y a fort, fort longtemps (15-20 ans, je dirais quelque chose comme 2006 ?), j'étais tombé sur Dailymotion sur une série de plusieurs (4, de mémoire, mais je ne suis pas 100% formel) vidéos de stop-motion de Lego et autres joujous (mais surtout Lego) dont le nom était "Une histoire de jouets".
Je ne me souviens plus trop de l'histoire (y'a un méchant et du pew-pew-pew mais ça désigne quand même pas mal de trucs...), mais ce qui était le signe distinctif le plus marquant est l'utilisation de Just Because of You comme générique (mais si, vous savez, la chanson des Bronzés font du ski).
Je l'avais à l'époque mis dans mes favoris, mais dailymotion a tellement changé que j'ai tout perdu (faut bien dire que comme tout personne normalement constituée j'y fous plus les pieds) et le nom est trop générique pour être aisé à chercher.
Du coup si quelqu'un a la main sur ces vidéos, ça m'intéresserait !

2024.04.24 05:05 IfThenElseEndIf Can't find a way of reading input in a Tkinter terminal emulator

I am working on a terminal emulator (inspired by curses) for a virtual machine. I am using Tkinter for it as I'd like to have more control over everything. I am not very Tkinter-wise, so I don't know how to essentially implement a getch()-like function that reads an individual character (and returns an integer denoting it). I am not used to event-driven programming.
The [full albeit clearly incomplete] code in question is the following:
import tkinter as _tk from tkinter.font import Font as _Font from typing import Self as _Self from dataclasses import dataclass as _dataclass from string import printable as _printable from time import time as _time LINES: int = 20 COLS: int = 30 @_dataclass class color_pair: "Can represent both foreground and background colors with two 24-bit values.\n" \ "\n" \ "This class is a dataclass." fore: int = 0xffffff back: int = 0x000000 @staticmethod def compile( color: int str, / ) -> int str: "Converts colors from integer to string and backwards.\n" \ "\n" \ "String colors converted from integers are returned in Tkinter's syntax (as in '#c0ffee')." if isinstance(color, int): return f"#{(color >> 16) & 0xFF:02x}{(color >> 8) & 0xFF:02x}{color & 0xFF:02x}" if isinstance(color, str): return int( f"{(number := color.strip().lower()[1:])[:2]}" \ f"{number[2:4]}" \ f"{number[4:]}", base=16 ) def __hash__( self: _Self ) -> int: return hash((self.fore, self.back)) class screen: "Represents a screen.\n" \ "\n" \ "Provides different C-inspired IO methods such as 'putch()' and 'printf()'.\n" \ "Has also support for color (with the 'color_pair' dataclass)." def __init__( self: _Self, title: str = "hlvm.curses.screen" ) -> None: self.title: str = title self._tk = _tk.Tk() self._tk.title(self.title) self._tk.resizable(False, False) self._txt = _tk.Text(master=self._tk) self._txt.config( font=(font := _Font(family="FixedSys", size=9)), fg="#ffffff", bg="#000000", state="disabled", height=LINES, width=COLS ) self._txt.pack(fill=_tk.BOTH, expand=True) self._color_tags = {} self._reading = False def press(event: _tk.Event) -> None: if self._reading: self._reading = False raise self._InputInterrupt(event.char) self._txt.bind("", press) class _InputInterrupt(Exception): ... def putc( self: _Self, y: int, x: int, character: int, color: color_pair = color_pair() ) -> int: if (y not in range(LINES)) or (x not in range(COLS)): return 0 if chr(character) in " \a\r\n\t\f": if character == "\a": print("\a") character = ord(" ") if chr(character) not in _printable or chr(character) == "\x00": return 0 self._txt.config(state="normal") if color == color_pair(): self._txt.insert(f"{1 + y}.{x}", chr(character)) else: id = f"{color_pair.compile(color.fore)[1:]}{color_pair.compile(color.back)[1:]}" if color not in self._color_tags: self._color_tags[color] = id self._txt.tag_config( self._color_tags[color], foreground=color_pair.compile(color.fore), background=color_pair.compile(color.back) ) self._txt.insert(f"{1 + y}.{x}", chr(character), f"{id}") self._txt.config(state="disabled") return 1 def puts( self: _Self, y: int, x: int, string: str, color: color_pair = color_pair() ) -> None: length = 0 for character in string: if character == "\n": y += 1 elif character == "\t": x += 2 if (x % 2 == 0) else 1 elif character == "\r": x = 0 elif character == "\b": x -= (x - 1) if x != 0 else (0) elif character not in _printable: x += 1 elif character == "\x00": break else: length += self.putc(y, x, ord(character), color) x += 1 return length def printf( self: _Self, y: int, x: int, template: str, *values: object, color: color_pair = color_pair() ) -> int: try: formatted = template % values except ValueError: formatted = template return self.puts(y, x, formatted, color) def clear( self: _Self ) -> None: self._txt.config(state="normal") self._txt.delete("1.0", _tk.END) self._txt.config(state="disabled") def getc( self: _Self ) -> int: def check() -> None: self._reading = True self._txt.after(10, check) try: check() except self._InputInterrupt as i: self._reading = False return i.args[0] def __call__( self: _Self, function: callable, / ) -> None: self._tk.after(1, (lambda: function(self))) self._tk.mainloop() 
This is taken from my last snippet, where I tried to use an interrupt (exception) to know whenever a key was hit as well as requested. The else block, however, does not catch the interrupt; therefore, I and my program is doomed. I did also try waiting but Tkinter will just crash or freeze so that does no good either.
I hope someone can help me find a way of capturing input. I've been working on something like this for more than one year and, now that I've finally found a way of printing and dealing with an output, I'd like to do the same with reading and stuff regarding input. Thanks!

2024.04.22 19:45 FortJables Lego Fortnite Challenge Card (add yours!!!)

After browsing through numerous posts on this subreddit and pondering the same question myself, I found myself wondering: how can I extend the replay value of this game beyond the obvious (building LEGO, of course!)? As a result, I've compiled a list of challenges aimed at enhancing the game's replayability. Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions; if there's enough interest, I may consider transforming this list into a nicely formatted printable PDF in the future.

Not seen this before, why does my ninjago wolf have numbers on its feet, is it a fake?
Looks like genuine lego with the lego word on the front foot, but curious when they started adding numbers in a grey font to peices. Is this a new thing? Or is it just fake?

2024.04.17 01:06 For2ANJ 3D-printed ‘ghost guns’ keep showing up at N.J. crime scenes, state probe finds

3D-printed ‘ghost guns’ keep showing up at N.J. crime scenes, state probe finds
The jerky time lapse video showed a 3D printer making what could have been knock-off Lego blocks out of bright green plastic fibers.
🤡🌎Police say that little Lego can turn a regular handgun into a fully automatic “weapon of war.”
The State Commission of Investigation, an independent New Jersey government watchdog, held a hearing in Trenton on Tuesday as part of its probe into the proliferation of “ghost guns” and 3D-printable firearm components, which police say are increasingly showing up at crimes scenes.
“We’re not talking about legally owned firearms, which law-abiding gun owners obtain under the state’s strict gun safety statutes,” SCI chair Tiffany Williams Brewer said at the hearing.
“We are talking about illegal weapons, such as ghost guns, and the various ways they are being used to corrupt our youth.”
The commission is preparing a public report on its findings, which will include recommended changes to state law to combat the problem.
Special agents with the SCI and firearms experts from the State Police told the commission in public testimony Tuesday that a small number of illegal weapons are driving much of New Jersey’s gun crimes — and they’re getting harder to trace.
Joshua King, an investigative analyst for the SCI, testified that ghost guns made up about 2% of guns recovered by law enforcement in 2019. Today, he said, about 1 out of every 10 recovered weapons are ghost guns, an average of about one per day.
To demonstrate the issue, investigators set out to manufacture gun parts using a commonly available 3D printer, a process one confidential informant told investigators was “no more complicated than building Ikea furniture.”
Such machines are becoming more common in homes and businesses, where 3D printers are used for all sorts of legitimate purposes, from producing small parts for medical devices to designing children’s toys.
On a table at the hearing Tuesday, state investigators laid out a different kind of do-it-yourself project: gun receivers, stocks and large-capacity magazines that would be illegal in New Jersey if attached to a functioning weapon.
Another focus of the hearing were those little green blocks, a type of switch known as an “auto sear” that, when installed in a common handgun, turns the weapon fully automatic, experts testified.
“The problem with switches is if there’s a perpetrator out on the street, when they pull the trigger, it’s essentially a machine gun,” said Lt. Col. Joseph Brennan, who oversees the State Police gun lab.
The commission played several videos of firearms modified with switches sending forth an unwieldy spray of gunfire.
“They can’t control where the bullets go, so there’s the likelihood of unintended targets (being shot),” Brennan said.
That’s what happened in New Brunswick earlier this month when a 21-year-old woman was struck by a stray bullet inside her apartment near the Rutgers University campus, police told the commission.
Authorities later charged four men in connection to a drive-by shooting that sent a barrage of bullets into nearby buildings, and a State Police ballistics expert allegedly matched a gun seized from the suspects to spent casings from the scene.
“It was a ghost gun, and there was a switch in that gun as well,” Brennan testified.
Auto sear switches are illegal under federal law, but remain cheap and available, authorities told the commission.
Law enforcement officials told the commissioners that so-called community guns — weapons stashed in a public location and used by gang members and other criminals — are responsible for many shootings.
They cited the example of a firearm linked to five shootings over four months in Trenton, which was responsible for wounding nine people and killing two. Gun violence is also linked to crimes including drug distribution and car thefts, police said.
“Not all drug dealers and car thieves in the state of New Jersey are shooters, but almost all of our shooters are drug dealers and car thieves,” Brennan said. “When we look at that small group and we’re able to detain them, we see decreases in those other public safety issues as well.
In 2022, Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation enacting stiffer penalties for those convicted of manufacturing ghost guns, but law enforcement leaders said more needs to be done.
Among the recommendations the commission is considering are legislation targeting community guns and changes to the rules for pre-trial detention in gun cases.

2024.04.16 18:28 DevonXDal New Major Version of the Capitalist-Variant Draft (Version 7) - Planned Manifesto

Hello, it's been a while, and I forgot to write that Version 6 was released. However, I have made a multitude of spelling, grammar, and language fixes. I've also made some changes in this new version. This is the version I intend to write a new manifesto with, to explain my beliefs better on. I imagine the manifesto will be roughly done (for proofreading) sometime in July. A lot of loopholes and abuses of power have also been dealt with.
Here is the changelog (a couple may be missing as I did not prepare this list in advance):
  1. "We the People" has been increased in font size and set to small caps to bring more attention to it.
  2. Reworded the impeachment process to allow for full punishment of corrupt politicians who hide lobbying details from the public.
  3. The states now decide and pay half of the compensation of their respective MPs.
  4. Clarification added the Directorate may have Directors abstain, vote to veto, or vote to approve the provided bills.
  5. All MPs representing a state are seated near each other in the House of Parliament.
  6. Added a clause that allows Parliament and the Directorate to make certain bills into laws during wartime or emergencies.
  7. Restricted the length of bills created by Parliament may be without approval by the Director General and even more extensive ones require the approval of more than half of the states as well.
    1. Defined as size 14 font on A4 paper.
  8. Bills may only tackle one issue without the consent of either the Prime Minister or Director General and bills with many issues tackled require the approval of more than half the states.
  9. Directors and Justices only have 16-year terms both now.
  10. Parliament decides the compensation given to the Directorate instead of the Directorate choosing their pay.
  11. Government contracts created by the departments must specify a minimum requirements list and accept only one of the three cheapest options (without Parliament's approval). However, they are to hide the specifications provided with each bid until after the bidding has ended.
  12. US government contract auctions give the lowest bid by a company, the contract. This causes issues because companies will simply min-max the minimum requirements. Allowing the bottom three by default and keeping it hidden, will promote specifications to be at least marginally better than the minimum requirements.
  13. Three Secretary-Advisors are appointed for each Director, requiring experience in the related field to receive the position. They are to support the Directors in carrying out their work. The joint agreement of the three Secretary-Advisors can veto their Director's decision.
  14. Subdepartments are mentioned now and each has one Vice Director and Vice Secretaries with the same rules as Directors and Secretary-Advisors. However, these Vice Directors and their Vice Secretaries may be overridden by the Director and Secretary-Advisors.
  15. Most positions are filled by the Director but must have the approval from either the Prime Minister, Director General, or Chief Justice.
  16. To help combat corrupt appointments by the Director.
  17. The Director(s) may hire and fire lower-level employees within regulations specified by Parliament.
  18. The wording for the funding of State Guards and Regional Guards and their intended use has been clarified in the Constitution. This specifies funding typically set at a proportion of the state's or region's GDP.
  19. Wording further clarifies that the rights to freedom of speech, religion, etc., may not be opposed by state or regional laws.
  20. Gender identity protections are now clarified by the Department of Public Health (led by medical experts).
  21. Incarcerated people may have to work during their classes but they must be informed of this prior to taking a class.
  22. Classes cannot be forced on incarcerated people.
  23. Solitary confinement usage is now restricted.
  24. Incarcerated citizens maintain their ability to vote and may not be forced one way or the other.
  25. The right around bearing arms has been overhauled.
  26. Mentally unstable as a label may be removed with two medical professionals agreeing that the label is no longer applicable
  27. Castle Doctrine is now a constitutional right with no duty to retreat in a home.
  28. Homes may have manually controlled weapons installed inside of them.
  29. States and regions now decide requirements for how long a person must reside to vote in their elections.
  30. States and regions must have in their constitution a period and threshold that will permit representatives at those levels to have their votes vetoed by their constituents.
  31. The land-value tax is to be on the assessed sale price of the land and only goes up to seven percent now.
  32. 1/7 to local budget
  33. 2/7 to state budget
  34. 4/7 to the federal budget
  35. Parking lots and garages have less LVT applied to them now.
  36. A restriction has been placed on the number of residential properties a company or individual may own.
  37. For the most part, government officials in office may not trade stocks while in office.
  38. A wealth tax on taxable net worth higher than 75% of the population now is collected at proportional levels up to 6.25%.
  39. Campaign funds are provided for elections with a deadline of one year and two months from election day. Funds are distributed on the third day of the election year.
  40. Half is distributed among the political parties of some significance, proportionally.
  41. Half is distributed among candidates with more than 250 nominations, proportionally.
  42. Each citizen can nominate up to 50 total candidates that they would be able to vote for in an election.
  43. States are explicitly not allowed to stop people from out-of-state commerce, including services, but may restrict which products may be brought into the state.
