I love how CNN is making the Texas thing front-page while completely ignoring the never-ending attempts of NY to do the same thing. We've had our redistricting thrown out by courts twice now, IIRC, and now they're pushing to do it again.

Overpriced, underwhelming. Just like what will come out of the things discussed in this thread.

He's saying that someone commented on a post of Stefanik's, not that she said it. There's a possibility it's true, but if so, it's the usual confusion: correlation is not causation. Homicide rates and crime rates in general have been dropping for decades. No one can point to any single law or...

You haven't been paying attention, sir. The Big Beautiful Bill removed silencers from the NFA.

I might know why. I worked at that Wegmans warehouse for a bit. I busted my ass stacking boxes on pallets for 8 hours a day, making $10/hr. Meanwhile, three senior guys stood at the end of the line shooting the shit. When my pallet was full, one of them would hop on a ride-on pallet jack, lift...

Maybe, but if so, $200k per charger? WTF... I suspect what they're doing government accounting tricks. Sure, it's "only" $78k per vehicle for the production contract, but we spent $200k per (projected) vehicle on R&D that we're now pretending isn't part of the total cost. Of course, now that...

Phew... $10B for 35,000 vehicles? That's almost $286k per vehicle. Also known as A COMPLETE RIPOFF.

Have to agree with many of the posts here. When you move from "comedy show for everyone" to "liberal propaganda hour," don't be surprised when half or more of your audience finds something better to do. That said, while I'm pretty sure that didn't help matters, the most likely cause here is the...

That's right up there with cruises on my "nope" list.

We should sue rape victims for spreading venereal disease, too!

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...

lol... that's awesome

Make sure you have a winter's worth of dried and seasoned firewood to go along with that plan. It will be too late to harvest it when SHTF... no gas for chainsaws, splitters, tractors, and vehicles to move the wood around; plus competition and exposure for standing dead wood. Someone could...
