Nope. It was intended to facilitate national defense as an alternative to a standing army (which the founders were against having on principle), not defense AGAINST the government.

Stop skipping over the part where it says "being necessary to the security of a free State". If the government infringes on our freedoms, like it currently is, the second amendment absolutely applies. It's a deterrent to threats both foreign and domestic.

Nope. That's a false dichotomy. It's simply not true that firing handguns at the grotesque might of the US government is the only alternative to doing literally nothing.

Yet again, you're wrong. You can't just vote out the corruption. As seen in how many decades, where the corruption has become more and more rampant, and unchecked?

You should maybe learn about the civil war and the American revolution, where we literally fought and killed for the betterment of our country.

    The second amendment imbues the people, us, the power to defeat legislation, on behalf of ourselves, from the Nazis in power.

    Literally, the Constitution gives us the power to kill the fascists currently in power, which is what will be required to get our country back, unless we just want to sit back and watch it fall, which appears to be the case.

    The s5 was also water resistant, same rating as every other water resistant galaxy since. Used to have 2 batteries and a separate battery charger so I could just hot swap. I don't think I ever actually plugged the phone into a charger.

    Evangeline Lillys character would have had nothing to do with Cassie Langs genetics. It was Paul Rudd and Judie Greers characters that had Cassie. Cassie was born years before Scott ever heard of Hope or Hank Pym.

    I finally started the move over to Linux, and installed a dual boot system. So far liking it, except for 1 or 2 things. The big one is the process of dual booting.

    I vaguely remember a friend a bunch of years ago always having the option to pick the OS on startup. Not having to hit F11 to pick the OS. Is there a way to do this? Everything I've found so far is about windows dual booting, which isn't exactly helping.

    Here's my setup, so there's an idea of what I'm working with.

    Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC SSD 1 (Windows): Predator GM7000 2TB SSD 2(Linux Mint): Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

    I just want to always have the choice of OS when starting up, without always having to hit F11 to get to the boot option. Any help is appreciated.

    Edit: In case it matters, I installed windows on SSD 1 without SSD 2 installed, then did the same with Linux, removed SSD 1, and installed Linux to SSD 2 (using their respective slots) then put both in. So I didn't install Linux with the dual boot option on the install screen.

    Edit2: Got it working! As suggested, I had to change the boot order so Linux was primary instead of windows. Then had to change the timeout for grub from 0 to 30 (tried 5 but it was still too fast) and once I was able to see grub, I had the option to let it go into mint, run windows, or just pick Mint without waiting.

    Way easier than going about it thinking windows first, since it refused to acknowledge i had another OS installed. Now I get to play around with drivers and software, and figure out why I can't align my multiple monitors properly.

    Thanks everyone!
