JillyB , to U.S. News in 72-year-old Florida man arrested after admitting he shot a Walmart delivery drone

A bullet that comes down has enough energy to kill someone. Shotgun pellets (especially smaller birdshot) would have much less energy when it comes down. That's why skeet shooting is the only kind where you shoot upwards. The terminal velocity of a BB is pretty small.

JillyB , to Men's Liberation in Why Won’t Men Wear Hot Pink While Hunting? - More states adopt the color alongside orange, but opinions aren’t all rosy

Unless you’re vegan, I don’t think you have a good argument against hunting from a moral perspective. Hunters also are some of the biggest donators to wildlife conservation.

JillyB , to Literature in What are you reading?

Just started Blindsight. I’m really enjoying some sci-fi with religious undertones. Hyperion is in the mail for my next one.

JillyB , to U.S. News in New Mexico governor suspends right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque

A lot of it stems from a distrust of the government. Even as a left-leaner, I support the second amendment because I don’t want cops to be the only ones with guns. Personally, I would want vast police and justice reform before I would be comfortable with strong restrictions on gun ownership.

JillyB , to U.S. News in US Federal Reserve launches "FedNow" - the long-awaited instant payments service, modernizing the US banking system

Isn’t ACH a service by the fed? If this is a service for financial institutions, I don’t expect them to make it free. I don’t see how this changes much except maybe making Zelle obsolete or at least changing the back end of it.
