    Yeah, but the ham radio doesn't hover over my property and send pictures and video from a camera to your base station.

    Due to the power that they transmit with, in order to operate most of the real-time streaming video on drones you must be a licensed ham radio operator.

    That doesn't sound right. Can I have a link before I say bullshit?

    You absolutely make your money back. You buy a high quality gun, and then you put it on a shelf for 5 or 10 years and then sell it for 50-100% more than you paid for it. Millions of people do it.

    I don't understand how that is relevant. A new gun wouldn't be used in a crime, and if you were buying for an investment you'd be buying NIB or collectable. All very unlikely to have been used in a crime, as is true with most guns.

  5. What we get with all of our government tuition subsidies is the worst of both worlds. 5,000 students paying $100,000 a year, many of them dropping out of getting shit degrees, and then wondering how to pay their loans. Subsidies destroy everything they touch.

    Guns would be a much better investment, unlike a car, you can sell them for more than you bought them for.

    Bullshit. We used to have appointments of independent counsels. People who do bad used to get fired. People used to resign. None of that has happened in the Obama administration. It has no shame.

  8. Actually, they both are felonies. Both are violations of the SoS's NDA. Both are regarded as equivalent under the law. You don't know what you are talking about. By that logic, as long as information isn't marked as classified, you can disclose it to whoever you want until some beaureaucray types is up and marks it. Does that really make sense to you?

    Kind of like how people assume anyone who is black is poor, helpless, and too lacking in education and intelligence to even figure out how to get an ID to vote.

    No, the Democrats that were the racist "Dixiecrats" (they were just called democrats before the revisionist term was created) are all dead. They didn't become anything but dirt. There have have been entirely new generations of racist Democrats that replaced them.

    What do you know about"those small towns in Texas"? What do you know about Wisconsin? Statistically, by an enormous margin, the most likely result of owning a handgun is absolutely nothing, I didn't read the rest of your crap, because listening to a foreigner tell me what I should believe and how I should live is pretty much at the bottom of the list of things I want to do before I die.

    You don't make money "from a nation". You provide a product that is more valuable to people than the money they give you for the product. Both sides come away from the transaction enriched. You idiots act like what amazon is doing is something to be punished.

    You don't get it. None of this exists yet. There is no hydrogen infrastructure. All of these things can be done, but they're not done yet. And they won't ever be done unless it makes sense monetarily. And hydrogen will never make sense monetarily unless there's a monumental breakthrough in production methods. It's inefficient to split it. It's inefficient to transport it. And it's inefficient to convert it back to electricity. Why convert electricity to hydrogen only to convert it back to electricity again? It's ridiculous. Just use the electricity instead.

    I had a co worker who had IBS. He would eat lunch and 15 minutes later would be in the bathroom with diarrhea. That was until he went to a low carbohydrate diet, that included almost no fiber whatsoever. He suddenly became regular, and his chronic heartburn disappeared as well. Fiber doesnt make you feel full. Thats like saying eating newspaper makes you feel full. The carbohydrates that always go along with it (except for in the case of most vegetables) are what make you hungry after your blood sugar levels drop and the coincident insulin response. If you want to feel satisfied and not hungry, leafy greens and a good piece of fatty protein is the way to go. Or perhaps some nuts and cheese. I am speaking from experience after trying the whole grains and fruit is good for you thing for years. I eliminated most grains from my diet and dropped 60 pounds and am the healthiest I have ever been.
