Ditto, though it took a little coaching by dad. At first they would get upset when I would attach a Minecraft mini-fig to a Starwars set or vise versa. But now once the kit has been carefully built as per the instructions, it begins to morph. And with their Lego Dimensions game it's a guessing game as to what character or vehicle you will actually get in game when you place it on the portal.
Grime does not equal bacteria. Heck if you are so concerned just soak em in Rubbing alcohol for a few minutes, or even overnight. If that doesn't penetrate the grime deep enough to kill the bacteria in question, your kids aren't going to be exposed.
I disagree. While yes Lego does have large, expensive sets, the majority of their sets are small and affordable. My kids love Their LEGOs and I have to double check when shopping for presents because half the set's I'm looking at they already bought (with their allowance). And compared to the other major toy-lines they are very competitively priced.
LEGO sets can cost an arm and a leg, but they also market many at much lower prices. With a large variety between $15 and $40. (I'm not rich, I try to shoot for about $30 per birthday present). Many of the lower cost sets they even design with multiple vehicles items out of one set. And those small inexpensive sets and the larger, slightly higher priced sets all combine to release real imagination as they build the sets then start modifying them with pieces from prior sets. The biggest struggle we have is keeping their mother from her habit of occasionally scooping random handfuls of parts into the trash to try to keep the supply down. I try to tell her that more parts equals more creative potential.
Except that Even Comey stated clearly in response to repeated questions that there was no evidence that they were able to alter a single vote. They did not hack the election. They may have hacked the DNC and DCCC, and penetrated several state election board systems, but there is no evidence they were able to actually change any votes.
In regards to altering the outcome, all they did was publish the dirty laundry of Hillary and the DNC.
Any release of classified information is a violation. Intent is NOT required. The two lowest charges (failure to protect and failure to report) are both negligence charges. Comey flat out lied about that. The pertinent charges do not require intent. Further Comey stated that much of the Intel belonged to other agencies, not State, thus she did not have the discretion to just let it slide, not that even she could just say, no that's not classified. She was an original classification authority, but even they have to document
Failure to protect classification is prosecutable for sheer negligence. Also for any information sent too her falls under failure to report. Comey Lied, there was no need for intent. Negligence alone is the felony criminal act.
Cite one instance where the government has operated more efficiently than business.
Yes business is more efficient. Because maximizing profit means providing the best product for the money. If you overcharge excessively, your competitors will eat you alive, you can cut services only so far before your service lacks and your competitors dominate again. It's not all about putting money in investor's pockets. Focus too much on that and your business will fail.
Meanwhile even well meaning government employees get trapped in wasting money, because they rarely have the ability to be more efficient, but are forced to ever less efficient methods. Regulations don't let them save money. The government budgeting process doesn't let them save money, but rather spend all they get so they can get more next year.
FTFY "Now that patent rights are terminated with any domestic or foreign RE-sale, per the SCOTUS Lexmark decision,"
And it's totally irrelevant to this topic. That ruling dealt with loss of patent control after first sale. Not loss of patent control before sale. The only way that would be relevant is if someone starts a business reloading expended and expired epipens.
Patent Law doesn't allow the Government to just declare a patent open for Generics. There is a process but it's not quick. Meanwhile patients across the country would be without the medication because the government doesn't want to pay. Which in turn would lead to some bureaucrat deciding to just pay, after all there is no financial incentive or penalty for him or her to not authorize it and thus terminate the endless ringing of his phone by people complaining.
Then once the government is paying, the incentive to continue the expensive process to open the patents is stopped because the funds are needed to pay for the more expensive meds.
Single payer, especially if it's the government, will not control prices.
You think that the government would be less bloated? We are talking about the government. They created the concept of ineffectual bloat and then expanded, enhanced and perfected it. The government home of the $50,000 hammer.
No, private industry with a profit motive will always be more efficient than government bureaucrats with no motive at all for efficiency and service.
Take a look at the deadly mess that is the VA and tell me single payer is better.
I would rather include protecting "location" data as being secure in your Person. They can physically follow you, or identify you off of cameras you have no control over. But your Phone that you purchase (or lease) should not be useable as a beacon to track your location without a warrant. The other data on your phone and other computing devices would fall under a modern interpretation of "papers".
Nobody, right or left, is trying to overturn the crime of armed robbery. Just as with Miranda, most our the land mark cases that have established constitutional limitations on police have dealt with criminals. This actually has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats. It's a case needed to establish precedent in yet another area where technology has outpaced the law.
As with the GP AC post. Your attempt to make this political, just shows how ignorant and foolish you are.
Everybody also needs to stop trying to make their app do everything. Everybody wants to add every feature under the sun, until their app becomes so bloated it's not worth the space or time it takes to launch it.
Any article that starts out calling anyone who disagrees with it a shill is not getting my time to read it. If you can't make an argument without resorting to insults from the very beginning then your argument is flawed and weak and you know it.
Nuclear is only so expensive due to the extensive lengths the environmentalist's will go to, in order to try to prevent it.
As soon as someone even mentions the idea of building a Nuc plant they will be sued, and the lawsuits will continue every step of the way.
Get the greenies to wake up and realize the harm they are causing to the environment by preventing us from getting away from fossil fuels and the price will drop greatly. Get a President willing to revoke the Carter ban of fast breeder reactors and the waste fuel issue is greatly diminished.
Nuclear is a great option, but groups that quiver in fear of the word have made it so expensive that new plants are rare when they should be going up right and left.
I'll believe that when I see the EU effectively intervene in any genocidal civil war without the US backing them up. Europe wrung it's hands about the situation in the Balkans until the US said enough, and led the way in. It takes a willingness to enforce your will to become a hegemony. The EU can't even figure out what it's "will" is let alone try to enforce it.
Yes an executive agreement is basically saying We agree the Climate is changing perhaps something should be done.
A treaty is anything that obligates us to act, to pay money and to change laws. The Paris Accord called on the US as a first world nation to give money to other countries. That makes it a treaty and that requires Senate Ratification (and full congressional action to appropriate the money.
DNA and fingerprints can also be collected without their willing participation. A password cannot. Big difference. Unless you wear gloves you will leave fingerprints. And you will leave DNA wherever you go. Give investigators enough time and they will collect samples verified to belong to you. Thus allowing a warrant to compel collection of Fingerprints and or DNA just saves time for all parties involved.
Then let the police physically force the phone. If the 'Key' exists only in my mind then I can't be compelled to give it up if I feel it might result in incriminating my self. And refusal to give it up cannot be considered incriminating either.
It most definitely is a 5th Amendment issue. It requires compelling me to reveal something that only exists in my mind. The Key analogy only goes so far, and in this situation it fails.
As this is an area of case law that needs to go before the Supreme Court, the fact that one judge found guilt does not prove anything. The fact that another judge decided he could not detain someone just further validates the fact that short of Congress writing more clear laws, this will require a decision by the Supreme court as to how this will play out.
The Treaty obligates US to spend Taxpayer funds on foreign nations. That requires not only Senate ratification but Congressional action as well. Yes the President can make Executive Agreements with foreign nations as part of his duties and they make many such agreements, but this far exceeded his authority to agree to and not submit it for Senate Ratification.
And try to learn how to make a logical, fact based argument without resorting to ad-hominem attacks. Only a fool assumes that someone has less of an education just because he disagrees with them.
President Obama did not submit it, so it had no legal bearing within the US. Which would have shortly resulted in the world whining that we were not meeting our 'obligation' to give them free money. But without Senate Ratification and congress to actually fund the monies, not a cent would be spent.
Why does this involve Article 2? If the cities want to follow the accord guidelines, that's their choice. What pulling out of the Accord does is pull out of an obligation by the US Gov to fork over Trillions of US tax payer dollars to other countries.
If cities want to try to be cleaner that's fine, it's not a Constitutional battle at all. The real battle would be had The Prior administration tried to actually enforce any of the accord requirements as it was never sent to the Senate to be ratified. And as it involved the commitment of Tax funds that takes it outside the scope of what an Executive Agreement can include.
The Paris agreement would exceed the constitutional authority of the President to make an executive agreement as per the link you provided pertaining to executive agreements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_agreement#In_the_United_States. As this treaty specifies financial promises that have to be funded by Congress it becomes a full formal treaty that cannot be made without Senate ratification. The President can make Executive Agreements pertaining to foreign relations, but if they cross into the powers of the Congress or the States he cannot without ratification.
Because the Customer granted Best Buy permission to access the files and data needed to repair the computer. Not the FBI. By instituting a regular reward system, the FBI makes the Geek Squad Techs agents of the government. And thus a warrant is required to look at anything not absolutely required for effecting the needed repair. Unless specifically tasked to recover lost/deleted files, Scanning unallocated disk space for image files definitely exceeds that scope of access needed to effect repairs.
The government is not allowed to simply have someone else do the dirty work to get around the protections afforded a citizen under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If someone else finds something and takes it to the Government of their own free will, it is admissible. If the government approaches someone and says hey look for this on every hard drive you service and we'll pay you when you find some, that is inadmissible, or should be as that person is acting as an agent of the government.
Only because of NIMBY and Enviro-wacko's trying everything possible to stop or slow every step of the process. They could get built a lot faster and cheaper without all the resistance.
No it isn't. The pipeline is running through private land, not the reservation. The encampments were illegal invasion of private property, resulted in killing a large number of cattle.
None of this occurred on tribal lands. It all occurred on Public roads through privately owned farmlands.
