The thing about guns in America is that it is completely unconstitutional to restrict them, in fact it is unconstitutional to put any restrictions on gun ownership, but no one wants significantly less regulation on who can own firearms. Even the NRA isn't pushing for felons and the mentally ill to own firearms.
Most western countries are made up of a single culture. The US is a huge mixing pot of cultures. They aren't as comparable as you might think, yes the US has some European cultures, but no European country has a mix of cultures like the US. If you look at the graph I pointed out, you will notice the US and Canada have roughly the same rates, with Canada being a little ahead. Canada and the US have much the same cultures, but due to the temperatures in Canada, they have a smaller population of African origin. Also, who wants to go out in the freezing weather to commit crime?
According to the economic aspects that the UN uses to define what is a developed country, Mexico falls into that list, as does Venezuela, Panama, and the Bahamas, but yet they are always excluded from the firearm violence numbers, ever wonder why?
Do you seriously believe that the change in controls has anything to do with pollution? Coal plants are already prevented from spewing any of the things you are talking about, the only control left was CO2, which unfortunately there is no way to capture.
Of course it was all the Army Corps of Engineers, it had nothing to do with New Orleans, all the New Orleans government was the victim, it was the nasty federal government that was at fault.
Comparing the US to first world countries is the primary means the Left uses to mischaracterize the argument, when you compare the US to the rest of the Americas, which is more accurate due to cultural differences between Europe and America (continent)
So, what is your response to France who has had 3 shootings in the past 8 months or so with rifles? They have far stricter gun control than the US, guns are in fact outlawed there. France should be a utopia with no gun violence if gun control worked to stop gun violence.
Face it, gun control is unconstitutional. If you want to live somewhere with strict gun control, feel free to move out of the country. Until you get a constitutional amendment passed, all gun control is technically unconstitutional. Be happy with the amount of gun control there is, as going much further will result in a supreme court battle.
How about if we take a poll of all the people who support the EPA's policy, and shut off their electricity.
The EPA's policy requires coal plants to use mythical unicorn farts, as that is the only technology that can meet the requirements, which means shutting down the coal plants to meet the EPA regulations. Since there isn't enough power to go around without the coal plants, I assume you are volunteering to go without power?
It isn't the quantity that is the problem, but the contents. When an executive order (written by a constitutional scholar!) is overturned by the supreme court, you know the executive is overreaching their authority. I don't know enough about the EPA's authority to say if they have authority over coal power plants, but outlawing them before the replacements are online is poor policy. Build the natural-gas or nuclear plants to replace first, then talk about decommissioning coal plants. The EPA's regulations are such that there is no way for a coal plant to possibly follow them as the technology hasn't been invented to do what they want, and we don't have enough alternate production methods to support shutting down all the coal plants.
Did you miss what the bill is about? Reining in an out of control EPA that is regulating power production out of existence without a plan for replacing all that power. This is kind of important, does anyone want rolling brownouts/blackouts because we have to decommission coal plants before the replacement plants are online? Also, as GLMDesigns states, it isn't the executive's place to bypass congress because they feel the law making is taking too long, it is the legislative's job to pass laws, not the EPA's job.
My assumption was that the A-10 couldn't reach those altitudes, but it looks like I was wrong, as service ceiling on the A-10 is 45k feet, on the SU-24 it is 35k feet. It is possible for these aircraft to shoot down a civilian aircraft at cruise altitude, it is just highly unlikely. The SU-24 apparently carries 2 R-60 A-A missiles, so it is theoretically possible, however I don't believe that the SU-24 the Russians are pointing to ever flew above 10k feet. It is a scapegoat to try and draw attention from the AA battery that was smuggled back into Russia with two missiles fired.
No, but SSDs have failure modes where they still work to read all the data off. HDs rarely still work when they fail. Often you have to replace the logic board, or throw it in a freezer.
Not everyone uses Cable connections to the internet, and in fact many ISPs are starting to realize that people want to upload stuff, and so are increasing the upload bandwidth to their customers.
I have a 75/75Mbit through FiOS, so uploading isn't an issue, and took a night for my 2TB upload.
For those who can't seem to get decent internet in their area, there is always this for the initial synchronization: https://aws.amazon.com/importe... I thought I had read about a more consumer version of that, but that one now looks to be datacenter/petabyte scale. It looks like the snowball costs about $200 a transfer, so it might not be worth the cost.
The plane is a air to ground attack aircraft, kind of like the A-10, it can't shoot down a plane flying at 30kft, so if you try and make it out to be an F-35 instead of an A-10, maybe people will believe that it wasn't a AAA battery that Russia lent to the Rebels and is instead a fighter jet that Ukraine is using.
That noise is caused by the flyback transformer. I doubt the ability to hear it has any correlation to asthma, but it has to do with the range of your hearing, if you can hear extremely high pitched noises, you will be able to pick out a CRT being left on with nothing displaying.
I used to be able to hear the hum of flyback transformers in old CRTs that were left on, this doesn't mean you have super human hearing, but many people lose the ability to hear the high frequencies involved as they age.

Honestly, it seems like they need to put more effort into making the metal frames into the antenna itself.
Apple tried that, it isn't as great as you might think. There is a reason that the metal was never exposed on the old antennas that stuck out.

That would be a semicolon. Perhaps if she married a Semi, and decided to hyphenate her name? Semi-Colon.
12 Years ago for me, and the same. I got the kids, the house, the car, and child support, but I still have to deal with her for 5 more years...
For the short time that it will be before new plants can be built, sure, why not. I live in Maryland, I am already subjected to this as it is.

What makes a country a first world country to you?
Mexico is hardly a developing country, it is a developed country.

In that graph, the US looks pretty tame, and all of those countries are considered "developed" countries.
Also, on a side note, yes, that graph says the US has 115% gun ownership, there are 115 guns for every 100 people apparently in the US.

Unfortunately, due to going camping this weekend, my next two days suck, but thanks for the offer. Maybe if you end up in this area again.
No, but SSDs have failure modes where they still work to read all the data off. HDs rarely still work when they fail. Often you have to replace the logic board, or throw it in a freezer.
Someone else commented on this article about a 1mb SSD they used to play around with, I think he indicated it still worked.
Yeah, the one in Chicago.
Heck, wasn't the whole reason for the levy failures that people were siphoning the funds to be used to reinforce them off into their own pockets?
Or get decent internet access to start with?

Correct. Compared to a USB Flash drive of the key form factor, a 2.5" drive is enormous.

That was my thought as well, when will Wikipedia come up with something that identifies bad editors and blocks their reverts.
The treatment is to disable the LEDs in the Wifi devices, then no more issue.
