My partner has this allergy. It has nearly killed them before, and surely will if they eat kiwi fruit again since they don’t have an epipen.

What makes you believe that there aren’t other people out there right now trying to figure out what the movements are of a particular CEO or billionaire are, so they can be near them with a gun or a bomb?
The thing is, the root causes of this kind of violence are well known, and have been for a long time. But it’s radioactive to say, hey, maybe we should work to eliminate poverty and the economic gulf separating the poorest and the wealthiest in society. All the measure that we might take–improving education, socialized medicine, eliminating systemic racism, criminal justice reform that focuses on reform instead of punishment, drug decriminalization–touch on the root cause, but aren’t themselves the root cause.
Cool, MD is wasting taxpayer money with a suit that goes nowhere. This is like suing car manufacturers because people are illegally modifying the cars to evade emissions controls.
I could readily modify my 1911 pistol to do much the same by modifying the sear. (I wouldn’t because machine pistols are almost impossible to control; there’s a reason that the Beretta 93R has a forward grip for your support hand.) The only difference here is that someone figured out how to do this with Glock pistols using a part that can be 3D printed easily.
Yes, BUT that’s not where we are yet. And until that’s where we are, and until the electoral college is also some kind of ranked-choice, it’s profoundly immoral to influence people to vote in a way that will cause more harm and suffering.
Essentially they think the citizenry are too stupid and/or lazy to decide how things should be governed.
Well… Yes. This is more or less true. But that’s an argument to increase education and engagement, not to discard the whole system.
I sold a Honda Civic Si that I’d done a k-swap on, and overheated (!!!), about two years ago. I specified in the ad that I hadn’t seen coolant in the oil when I’d changed the oil, and that the a/c compressor failing and killing the serpentine belt was what caused it to overheat. I got more than I expected, esp. for a car with 180,000 miles on the body/transmission. So, for starters, don’t assume that you can only get $700.
For someone that knows what they’re doing, and has the tools and space to work, a head gasket isn’t usually a big deal, as long as it’s just the head gasket, and not a warped cylinder head. Most of the charges for the repair are labor.
I agree that FB Marketplace is your best bet. Check the KBB value, and use that as a starting point. Take a lot of photos, make sure that you’re pointing out the known issues. Write a very detailed description, i.e., not “message me for details”; if people ask you shit that you’ve already addressed in the listing, refer them back to the write up. It’s a good way to weed out unserious people. Don’t take the very first offer! You’re likely to get a number of people trying to give you ridiculous low-ball offers. Specify cash-ONLY, as in, no Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, check, money order, cashier’s check, bank draft, or goats. (You can take bitcoin if you’re into that; there’s no way to do a chargeback with BTC once you’ve gotten 3 confirmations.)
Make sure that you make two receipts, and have them sign both. Check the name against their driver’s license. Remember to remove the license plate. Call your insurance and cancel the policy immediately after the sale. Essentially, you want to CYA so that if they get tickets or crash the car, you aren’t going to be on the hook.
I really, really want to know why someone added that provision in the first place, and why it didn’t immediately get removed as being utterly irrelevant.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that–aside from predators and pets–you should be eating animals that you intentionally kill. It seems wasteful and disrespectful to kill a nuisance animal, and then just leave the body to rot.
I need to get:
An M40 gas mask and spectacle insert
A bullet-resistant helmet
A burner phone
That’s about it, really.
Using the median should give you a more accurate representation of per person wealth.
…But I don’t think that’s as easy to find.
FWIW, you can do this fairly easily with sous vide and still ensure that it’s perfectly safe.
I had a steak like this, something like 20-odd years ago (i’m nowhere near wealthy enough to go to nice steakhouses now); it was amazing. I don’t intentionally eat any steak cooked more than medium rare at this point.
I think that you might find that SCOTUS has conflicting interests here. Yes, the conservatives (Thomas, Alito, Goresuch, Kavanaugh, Barret, and mostly Roberts) are generally supportive of Trump. But we’re now seeing Trump flout judicial rulings, and that cuts into SCOTUS’ power; the justices are likely going to want to preserve that in the rulings that they make.
I don’t hold a lot of hope though.
Yeah, now THAT is a problem. The executive branch is in charge of enforcement of laws and court rulings; if Trump’s administration flatly refuses to enforce court orders, then no, nothing is going to happen. At that point, Congress gets to make a choice as to whether or not they wish to exercise their authority to impeach and remove a president. If Congress fails to act, then it’s time for the people to exercise their second amendment rights, or hope that there will actually be elections again. But such a hope seems vain, if Trump’s administration refuses to follow court rulings, wouldn’t you say?
Other than courts?
The president doesn’t get to determine what’s an official act and what isn’t, any more than Michael Scott saying, “I declare bankruptcy!” makes it so.
Really? You think that deflation is good for workers? Deflation means that they get laid off, because why the fuck would I, were I an employer, continue to employ someone when their effective wage rises ever year, if I can get someone for half the real wages? Deflation means that no one is going to get a mortgage, because you’re going to be underwater on that loan before the ink is dry; that also means that you won’t be able to sell a house if you need to. With deflation, everyone puts of discretionary purchases, because the increasing value of money means that those purchases will be cheaper at a later date. With everyone stopping discretionary spending, you see a very rapid halt to the economy.
That’s… Not how that decision was worded. Although that was the conclusion that was drawn by certain pundits. The president has absolute immunity for official acts in areas that Congress has no authority over, e.g., commanding the military, issuing pardons, etc. So if the President committed a crime in an area that Congress has direct control over–such as criminal actions related to trying to shut down the Dept. of Education–he would explicitly not have immunity from criminal prosecution.
Vance is, strictly speaking, correct. The key word there is legitimate. The problem is that he’s trying to confuse the issue; he’s implying that everything Trump is doing is a legitimate exercise of executive power, when it’s very clear from law and precedent that the power being exercised is supposed to be held by Congress.
Categorically false.
The problem with a gold standard is that your monetary supply can’t increase with your population, unless you can also increase your gold reserves at the same rate. If your monetary supply can’t keep pace with the population, then your money increases in value. That’s a bad thing; it makes it more expensive to buy anything, or to use any kind of credit.
A way to explain it is that if you have 100 people, and $1000, then you have an average of $10/person. But if your population increases to 110, and you still have the same amount of money, then you have an average of $9.09/person. But that $9.09 has the same purchasing power as $10 had previously. The result is that people hold on to money, since it’s going to be far more valuable in a few years than it is now. This is a form of deflation, and it’s a good way to crash an economy.
Going off the gold standard allows the federal reserve to more readily manipulate the monetary supply–they don’t have to hold reserves of gold or silver–to keep an economy growing along with a population.
If that doesn’t work, the channel on YouTuber is “Driving 4 Answers”, and the title of the video is, “The Only Video You’ll Ever Need to Watch to Know how 4 Stroke and 2 Stroke Engines Work and Differ”.
I just think that it’s both sweet, and a little sad, that there are searches for “hugging”, “intimate”, and “cuddling”.
Has someone checked in on Wyoming, North Dakota, and Ohio? They seem like they might be lonely.
