> Similarly NRA wouldn't care if you got kicked out of a movie theater for being concealed carry, but if a local city tries to ban guns in movie theaters, then NRA would step in.

Well, this isn't entirely accurate. They definitely do chafe at even private restrictions on anything gun. While I don't have time to research this right now, a quick search of "concealed carry in businesses" certainly returns some people complaining that businesses shouldn't be allowed to restrict that. And, if you dug a little deeper, I imagine the NRA would be weighing in there somewhere.

I don't think esoteric linuxes are really necessary--I'm running vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 with 16GB RAM and top three processes are only Crashplan (~800MB), Dropbox (~460) and Chrome (327 resident, 1380 shared, per htop, with 6 tabs running). My total usage at the moment is 4.04GB out of 15.4 available, again per htop. Some of the other numbers in this thread are baffling to me.

But I don't run any Electron apps, so there's that.

But, yeah, I guess I wouldn't be able to run this same workload with 4GB RAM. That's what lubuntu is for.

It needs to be

    [bar(foo(y)) for y in (z for z in stuff if foo(z))]

(etc.) though, since `bar` takes as input the output of `foo`. This leads to the objectionable duplicate calls to `foo`, hence the new assignment expressions.

I like Dunnorandom's

    [bar(x) for x in map(foo, stuff) if x]

best for a correct result using existing syntax, or

    [bar(x) for y in (foo(x) for x in stuff) if y]

if you don't like `map`.

Riding on sidewalk is often safer for everyone, though. And, in some places I've lived, it's only illegal in specific marked areas of high foot-traffic. The police maybe shouldn't be giving advice that is technically illegal (if it was), but it may have been pragmatic advice, at least.

Personally, as a biker, I get slightly annoyed by pedestrians who seem to think I have little control or awareness. I ride on the road where practical, and, if on sidewalk, I go much more slowly and sometimes just get off and walk if the area calls for it. Generally, bikers are much more aware of their surroundings than drivers (both out of self-preservation and an unobstructed, elevated view).

Of course, the best solution is fully separated paths for walkers, bikers, and cars. And, in this instance, it looks like there is ample room for building that, with no street parking to complicate things (and the sidewalk also looks wide and sparsely used).

Antiviral doesn't claim anything one way or the other about an attempt to influence Trump; just the election.

But how do you infringe on a militia? Only one right is actually mentioned here; nothing is said about a right to a militia.
