A few thoughts: California, meh. They get what they voted for. I am not a proponent of this constant cycle of building in disaster-prone areas, then seeing them wiped out by a disaster, and rebuilding in the same place. At the very least, we need to prevent taxpayers - and insurance payers -...

Yup, same ol' Albany logic. Person kills another person with a gun, we must outlaw guns, never mind that murder was already illegal.

Seems pretty pointless. One, how would they know that it requires an external power supply? Two, you don't need an external power supply to make a ton of noise. I was into aftermarket systems when I was younger. My system registered 143.3 dB in a competition, powered by a stock alternator, and I...

Either your BIL isn't telling you the whole story, or he found the worst lawyer ever. My money is on the former.

No. They had no valid reason to pull him over in the first place.

He can't grill for shit. ...oh, we already knew that, too.

I think you have some of your facts mixed up. Refusing a breathalyzer can result in an automatic 1 year license suspension and $500 fine (first offense), and said refusal can be used as evidence against you in a DWI trial. It is not an automatic DWI.

You gotta adjust your phone's autocorrect settings or something. Seems like at least 50% of your posts have issues like this :ROFL:

By my rough calculations, it would be $20/year. But we all know that $20/customer/year won't be going back to ratepayers. It will go into the pockets of the companies. No way are they reducing the bills.

At the class my wife and I took to remove restrictions from our permits, she kept hitting the clip holding the target instead of the target itself. I was amused, the RSO was not. In her defense, she was shooting a snub-nose and the target was a fair bit away from her.

Jesus. That must have been horrible. Every time my old man woke from his morphine-induced stupor, he would ask for water. I can only imagine that it must have been 9 days of dreaming about dying of thirst.

Parents letting kids get away with poor muzzle control always drives me batty. Trust me on this, I will have no problem straightening out your kid if I catch them sweeping someone and you don't. Don't like it? IDGAF.

After watching my old man get starved/dehydrated to death for 9 days via "comfort care," I support legalized assisted suicide. Not disagreeing that there can/will be abuse, but no one should have to suffer like that. We give our pets better end-of-life care.

We don't need to subsidize electric vehicles to make them take hold. We need to get cheap electricity online and the infrastructure to deliver it in place. If your house electric bill dropped to $5/mo, it would not take anyone long to realize the massive savings they could realize by switching...

There was a lot of good to that show, but so much bad. I lost count of the number of times they were in a "desperate" situation at the end of one episode, then at the next episode, they remembered that there were only 10 dumb zombies on the other side of a fence and they could just stab them all...
