In principle, I agree, guns shouldn't be sold to dangerous individuals. But that's far easier to say than actually do. Forcing gun sales off of Facebook, where they can be tracked and logged, means the transactions will be negotiated elsewhere.
like newspaper ads, craigslist, bulletin boards, armslist.com, etc that have been around for years? As long as people meet up in person, there's nothing stopping these transactions. Otherwise, firearms need to be shipped to a Federally licensed dealer who performs the background checks.
but less articles that are just shills for dice.com. Maybe there will be a "travel & tourism" series for nerds who venture outside of their mom's basement.
But carrying cheese in your carry on luggage will get the TSA guys at the airport check points really excited that they found some C4 until they open the bag and discover it's just cheese. Having a stress test where the medical technician injects radioactive material into your bloodstream a few weeks before flying causes lots of excitement too.
If a checkpoint is really swamped, they can just wave people through and bypass the entire scanner/pat down routine.
The rich guy who speaks perfect English should have been bright enough to come up with a basic itinerary for his visit whether or not he was actually going to stick to it. The Canadian immigration/customs guys didn't quite believe at first I was going to Rouleau Saskatchewan to visit the Corner Gas set, but I still had a plan of where I was going to stay, visit, etc. I guess they figured that no one outside of Canada had ever heard of that show.
BTW, the correct word is border which is different from boarder (1.a person who receives regular meals when staying somewhere, in return for payment or services. 2. a person who boards a ship during or after an attack).
it could be worse. Apparently, in Oaxaca, Mexico, the teacher unions have made it so one can inherit a job as a teacher - no experience or formal education necessary.
You're thinking that private schools are all the type that the "upper crust aka the 1%" sends their kids. There are a lot of small private schools (usually religious) that spend a lot less per student than the public schools in the same area and the kids still do better than their public school peers. The reasons range from parental involvement, the schools focusing more on the basics, smaller class sizes, use more traditional teaching methods, disruptive kids are easily expelled, etc. There is often less administration overhead too. Yes, teacher pay is often lower too. For some school systems, the higher pay is considered "combat pay" and some teachers are willing to give up the higher pay for a less stressful work environment.
The 2nd keyboard that they shipped with it wasn't too bad either, but people always remember the 'chiclet' one. By the time I finished college, my PCjr was about 3 times it's original size thanks to expansion products from PC Enterprises in NJ.
If there ever was a major war, the remaining civilian engineers would be busy trying to rebuild cities from nuclear blasts. Given the time frame for development of new weapons systems, the war would be over before the designs were finished.
we should be rallying against the local principles / head masters who say things like "Just pass him. He tries hard and he is so good at football."
That is why high schools and colleges need to get rid of their sports programs. Unless one is in a small school, only a few people benefit from it. It would be better to spend that money on PE for all the students. The taxpayers shouldn't expect to pay for farm leagues for the NFL and NBA.
Some apparently think that since Obama has bypassed Congress via executive orders before that he should be able to do similar actions with climate change as well.
A co-worker told me about a guy that used to work for IBM that lived in the woods somewhere in Pennsylvania. His project managers would mail him the requirements documents and he'd mail them boxes of punch cards with the complete programs. Other than the delay due to the USPS, I guess the workflow wasn't much different for the guys who came into the office every day.
It's as if the writer had no concept of the "dead tree" form of documentation: books. It may just blow his mind that some programmers used to write programs w/o computers.

exactly. That's what I've thought from the start of his campaign.

How "clean" were these engines compared to those of the previous model year?
I'm sure the brewery of the same name would like a contract to resupply the ISS as well.
Well there's the problem of police guns getting stolen
aka dirty cops selling firearms to their criminal buddies.
It's cronyism

2) It doesn't matter if the pilot gets shot down.
It would be a pretty impressive achievement to shoot down a drone pilot.
women in the nearby bars do that all the time
Too much cronyism involved not to mention our government will find new and innovative ways to fuck it up while spending even more money than before.

No kidding. The IBM PCjr had expansion "sidecars" that were similar to these in concept.

Don't forget the little old ladies selling jelly, salsa, or other stuff they made at home. They're the ones that really rake in the cash.

It would be easier to create "passenger pods" that could be slid into existing cargo aircraft.
