Yowza… I always assumed it was just the missing j-channel but not that the entire windows were installed incorrectly. Guess we’ve got some work ahead of us 😐

Yeah, from the other comments here, I’m starting to see the severity of the issue. This was a custom build and not a big developer, but I might be able to track down the window installers. Thanks for your help!

Haha thanks for the suggestion! I’ll be sure not to overshare :)

Thank you so much for all the info! Scarier than I thought, I’ll admit, but better to find out now than in 10 years.

Thanks so much for the extra info… sounds like I’m on the hook for getting it added but that’s what I expected anyways :)

Wow, is this to say insurance might pay for it to be installed? It’s about 5 years old but we’ve owned it for 3-4, so it’s fairly new but we’ve been sitting on this issue for a while. Thanks for your help either way!

I don’t think it’s begging when people already want to give it out for free.

Hmm… I’m not sure I agree with this completely despite politicians obviously being problematic. At least at its core, the rationale is that the significant majority of people aren’t aware enough of all the contentious (or even mundane) issues in society, so we elect people we trust to make our decisions for us. I just checked Canada’s recent bills in Parliament, and the voter turnout for something like this would be almost nothing:

Bill C-16 - An Act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023

Obviously our current system is very easily corruptible and that needs to be addressed, but getting rid of politicians altogether wouldn’t necessarily fix our society, despite how terrible they’re making it right now.

Swap Muslim with Jewish and Israel with Palestine and it’s the same problem… to be clear I think both are true but it’s kinda weird to single one out.

I think the comment above is saying what the government would say… which is honestly fairly realistic.

If they’re gonna be forced to be part of the UK, they can also enjoy the privilege of shitting on it like the rest do.

You’re completely missing the point of an analogy. No one is comparing humans to animals. What’s similar is the thought process behind arriving at both conclusions. We could be talking about humans, animals, cars… the subject doesn’t matter, it’s the thought process that’s the same.

Not to say I agree with him but he didn’t compare those two things at all. He said it’s the same mentality that underlies racism and ‘breedism’ for lack of a better word.

I’m so confused… you responded to a comment about guns and made an analogy for gun control.

So then it wasn’t shallow and dismissive at all, you just didn’t appreciate the delivery. The points they made were perfectly valid and, ironically, calling them shallow and dismissing was itself shallow and dismissive. It just seems more like you used a bad analogy but can’t take the criticism.

Addressing any of the points being made to you would be a great start. The first comment that you called shallow was a pretty good summary of why people support strict gun control, even if it was said sarcastically.

What a shallow and dismissive thing to say

That’s not a great analogy though… you would have to add that, even though most people use it responsibly, banning digital encryption would cause a very dramatic reduction in harm caused by the people that don’t use it responsibly.

Furthermore digital encryption actually serves an inherent purpose so banning it would also cause some harm to society simultaneously. On the other hand, civilian gun ownership serves no inherent purpose so society wouldn’t be harmed by banning it, and we would only lose the risk.

…so you don’t have evidence.
