No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Also US law require it to be in a securely locked protective case that can only be opened by the owner.
Also US laws require all luggage to be opened with the universal TSA key that is both as secure as a toddler's toy safe lock and easily available to the public.
Firearms are special and you don't use TSA locks with them.
And the TSA is not supposed to open them. Shit gets stolen like that and the ATF gets really really pissed.
While true, it definitely depends on your particular TSA team. I have flown multiple times with firearms within the US, and normally TSA follows their own rules pretty well. However, I have had TSA DEMAND my key so they could open the case outside of my presence. When I protested and gave them the handout of their own procedures, the guy said "you can give me the key, or you don't get on your flight."
They did that to me once and when the Agent showed up at my gate with that line I replied that I was happy to tag along back to the case and open it for them. The Agent took me the back way through the service halls to their area where I opened my case and they did their inspection, then they brought me back to the gate through the service halls.
The agent wasn't happy about it but I stayed cool with 'em and they made it work.
I offered to do the same and was literally scoffed at, then reprimanded for my audacity. It was a really fucking shitty experience.
Yea TSA can be a bunch of dicks.
Ah, America
