Spheres optimize for minimum sogginess. Kellogg could change the marketing angle without changing anything else to be correct.
Maybe. I haven’t done the math.
I want a sequel to Lego City Undercover with the building and driving mechanics of Lego 2k Drive.
That's up to you.
One of ways the ATF defines a firearm is "any weapon that can be converted to expel a projectile using an explosive."
If you don't WANT it to be considered a firearm maybe it's sufficiently corroded such that it's no longer true that it could expel a projectile using an explosive, and therefore is no longer a firearm. In that case, if you hit someone with it, it goes back to being an armament, but no longer a firearm.
That is of course unless you melt the metal down and turn it into some kind of lower receiver. It would go back to being considered a firearm by the ATF.
Whether or not it's a firearm depends on your context. If you and all your friends disagree it's a firearm, in that context it is not. In other contexts it is.
Words are really just illusions though. It's equally true that there are no firearms, because firearms are just words. It also is true that any and all matter is a few steps away from being a firearm. Where do you end and I begin? If we get quantum mechanics into it, maybe everything already is a firearm.
This was made before 1899 (or whatever the cutoff date is), and it’s black powder. The ATF does not consider this a firearm.
Is a cannon really a firearm? Was this for an individual, or is it a crew served weapon?

I think the application for this is to return some dignity and independence to people who have physical trouble washing themselves. Of course the form factor of the 1970 prototype wouldn’t do that, but that can be fixed.

Their hardware is cool and bizarre. It has to be seen in person to be believed. It reminds me of the old days when supercomputers were weird.
I figure it doesn't. It never gets turned off. What's decided is who gets access to the record. It's encrypted and there's legal stuff.
If you have a reason why it's bad then just say the reason. Don't ask insinuative questions.
No one should be watching fifth graders go to the bathroom. “Legal stuff” is not adequate.
In my experience, when schools are graded on bullying incidents, administrators avoid reporting at all costs. This program isn’t enough if there are disincentives to reporting at higher levels.
