Guns are regulated. How much regulation, who gets allowed, what types of guns, and if the regulations are being enforced, those are the real questions. This warrant and shooting is a result of a law that wasn’t enforced well, as they had already broken the law once and yet someone sold/gave them guns again.
That feels like a privacy issue, maybe related to the topic of whether or not they can force you to unlock your phone? I don’t know where the current law is on that.
Absolutely, although isn’t a major job for the VP to handle international affairs, which this definitely is one?
I just wish we had other choices out there. I’ll vote blue and persuade others also because the choice given the voters is bad politics as usual, or insanity. I can vote for Biden/Harris and still hope (with much doubt) for more progressive actions from underneath.
When they name a new policy rule after you…
Polls are polls, but just the fact that there is still any conversation at this point says a lot about the state of the country.
From the point of just moving the charge, yes, it’s called antimatter. Antielectrons are positive, antiprotons are negative. From the mass point of view though it would be a different kind of physics altogether since electrons have virtually no mass compared to the other two particles, and protons don’t exist as a particle-wave duality, so neither protons or electrons would act the same by just switching them out in a Bohr atom model arrangement. Maybe someone with more in depth knowledge can give additional or better reasons.
I haven’t seen them in production yet, but for years I’ve heard of the idea of infrared detection in car systems to see warm bodies better at night on a screen or heads up display. There was also the idea of using that along with IR lighting and road markings to light up the road better. Like having high beams on without blinding other drivers, something that is far too common these days.
I think the sleeper is “talk to plants”. Remember how Aquaman used to be the joke in the Justice League? And I’m not well versed in comics, but Poison Ivy comes to mind as being pretty powerful.
Age is a factor, but the real problem is voters being given only two choices, or even only one in the case of an incumbent without primary competition in the party. I would not want someone shut out simply because they got past an arbitrary mark of time, as there are plenty of sharp and even progressive old people, as well as some dumb regressive young ones. It’s how good of a pick they are to lead the country, and right now we really don’t get that choice in a vote. So until we do, we have to pick the less destructive version, which is the obvious Biden who is questionable in many respects and yet still far more aware of reality. And not an established criminal, fascist, and racist.
“They modified it a bit.”
“Whatever they did, it WASN’T ENOUGH!”
Some of us “essentials” pretended that nothing was going on at all and kept going to work because an actual shutdown of core parts of society would have been a total disaster. I’m totally for WFH situations where it makes sense, but some jobs require a physical presence even in a pandemic, otherwise the wheels stop for everyone.
Some native Floridians now dismiss a Cat 4 as not as big deal as a Cat 5, not realizing the very small wind level difference. Adding a 6 would let them downplay a 5. My own stance is that once things start getting picked up by moving air, it’s all dangerous and should be prepared for and avoided.
Plus, most deaths in a hurricane aren’t from the wind. They’re from drowning from flood waters. There’s plenty of eyewitness videos now on the internet for anyone to be aware of the seconds it takes to go from safe to shit, but people will always think it only happens to other people.
Their work resulted in the often-posted newspaper article speculating how in a few centuries the emissions of burning coal might become a problem for the world’s environment. What they didn’t anticipate was the rate of increase from a population explosion which would begin its climb in a few decades from various factors.
The only issue I have with secession talk is there are lots of Texas citizens who aren’t the problem. Every red state has people with common sense, they just don’t have the ability at the moment to shut up the idiots. Plus secession at this point is ludicrous, leaving with your toys isn’t how you fix problems. Oh wait, it’s Republicans, they don’t ever have solutions anymore anyway it’s all a political game.
“The economy looks to be recovering!”
The millions of people not doing great in various ways: “Yay.”
They call it Waffle House for a reason. Just saying.
Not all Hyundais (or older cars) are the same. I get the spirit, but while my 17 year old Santa Fe has a lot of miles on it, I’d rather the assholes just stay away so I don’t have to go through the experience of a wreck, insurance, and possible new car payments on a newer vehicle that I have to relearn all the quirks. So I let the idiots fight each other and watch from afar as much as possible, which includes being a “beta” driver. But that’s what they taught us, right? Defensive driving?
Buy a used older model if you need a machine. Because it’s cheaper, because it is more basic in its components, because those parts are probably cheaper to buy and replace yourself if need be, and mainly because someone is selling it at its age because it STILL works. Anything tied to a circuit board with a processor is a time bomb.
They’re all going to you. Do you have an unusual amount of single socks too?
I did comment that enforcement seemed to be part of the problem here, yes. Do the laws need to be more strict? I doubt that will fix any enforcement, since that’s the failure.
