Also you haven't yet answered my other question, which I find more interesting: how, exactly, do you use your second amendment rights to defend your other rights against government incursion? This may come across as an attack but I really don't mean it that way. I've just never heard anything more in depth than a bumper sticker about this topic, and I'm wondering if someone can explain the reasoning to me.
So is it really about the guns, or the media? And you know he got arrested later right? The charges were dismissed for reasons that had nothing to do with him waving his guns around.
If referring to a past scenario where the US successfully denuclearized one of its enemies is too offensive to continue talks, then there was nothing to talk about to begin with.
I think it's the part where the leader got deposed, murdered, and dragged through the streets that Kim might not like.
If Kim gets overthrown. Unless you're on a given-name basis with him, and then I think it would be Jong-un, but you would know better than I in that case.
Anybody doing L3 is stupid. Right now that might be just Telsa (I don't know) but if someone else were to do it, that would be stupid too. Your "fix" made the sentence worse.
Unless it was just a joke, in which case carry on.
L3 is the real problem. L1 and 2 are pretty obviously just assistance and you don't really hear about too many problems there. L4 means the user can completely hand over control to the car, but only at certain times, like maybe on highways. L5 is completely autonomous driving at all times, potentially without even the possibility of manual control. L3 is sorta kinda autonomous but the driver is supposed to pay attention and be ready to take over at any moment. That one is stupid.
So you're saying law enforcement would just come in and arrest people for encrypting stuff if they were sure they didn't have a gun? Or something else? I've wondered about this argument that the second amendment protects the rest of them - how, exactly, do you use your second amendment rights to defend your other rights against government incursion?
Hey, if "no longer needed" is a legitimate reason to return an item, does that mean it's ok to order an expensive TV set before the superbowl (or other sports event), and return it after the event?
I don't know about Amazon, but stores like Best Buy have a window around the Super Bowl during which TVs cannot be returned. I assume they would exchange a defective model.
Or order an expensive gala dress, and return it after the party you wore it to? Or an air conditioner, and return it before winter (... to buy another one next spring...)?
If the return policy doesn't say otherwise, sure. Do it too much though, and you risk getting banned as we see here.
Maybe they should reword that choice as "arrived too late - no longer needed", which is probably what they intended.
That might be another option, I don't remember. I don't return stuff often.
There was no claim that the cop did a conversion at the scene of the crime.
"Me: so you did the math in your head right
Cop: yes"
Maybe you should go read it again... unless you really think the cop was testifying that he waited until later to do the math from the scale at the crime scene in his head. If that's what you think then I don't have anything else to say.
According to Amazon it is a legitimate reason. You can return something because you just didn't like the way it looks when you saw it in person. Heck "no longer needed" is one of the options for why you're returning something. You may have to pay return freight, but they'll take it back.
Neo-Nazis may occasionally be prosecuted, but so are Klansmen in the US.
Only for very narrow exceptions to the 1st amendment such as inciting violence. They're not prosecuted just for saying horrible things. With that said, I don't know if Nazis are prosecuted for saying horrible things in Europe either, but my understanding is in many countries it's illegal to say things that are racist.
"The government is solely selected by the president" is completely inaccurate.
I think that might just be a mismatch of what the term "the government" means. In the US it can mean anything from the entirety of the national government, to any and all US governments, from national to local level. I think in Europe it means the bureaucracy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. So what he's saying is the President appoints people to fill the roles in the executive branch. He doesn't hire everyone directly, and many positions require Senate approval, but in that context the statement reads more or less correct to me.
Well we know power is being produced from renewable sources. Either that is just excess power that is wasted and not used, or it is power that would otherwise be produced from non-renewable sources. The former seems beyond unlikely, so I think it's the latter. Either fossil fuel power plants are being shut off, or fewer of them are being built than would be the case without renewables (due to increasing energy demand). Either way, renewables must be replacing fossil fuels in part, right?
The sheer scale of these changes leads the authors to conclude that it cannot be explained by normal neo-Darwinian processes.
So they don't understand how octopi could change that quickly, and rather than thinking maybe there's something about evolution or genetics that we don't understand yet that could explain this, they decide they must have come from outer space. Wow.
The only way this could work is if life in the galaxy were in constant exchange everywhere so that life on all life bearing planets in the galaxy shares the same evolutionary history and that history is synchronized.
That is exactly what they are claiming:
As Wickramasinghe puts it, “Our point of view is that in the context of an interconnected cosmic biosphere involving at least 100 billion habitable exoplanets in our galaxy alone, and with continuing exchanges of biomaterial, large scale HGT including exchanges of complex genetic packages in the form of viruses, seeds, bacteria is unavoidable.”
Yes, I think some scientists were jailed in Italy for incorrectly predicting there would not be an earthquake. Which is a great recipe for making sure scientists in Italy don't make any predictions about natural disasters.
Although Google Shopping may look like a marketplace, it really isn't. Amazon and eBay operate shopping platforms that connect sellers with buyers and offer protections like money-back guarantees. Google, by contrast, sends shoppers off its site after they click on an item, and thus has no visibility into what happens after the transaction.

Pence's reference to the "Libya model" killed the negotiations.
Wasn't that Bolton? Or did Pence say it too?

He described this tactic plainly in his book The Art of The Deal.
You mean Tony Schwartz described it?
Are trying to some how say those same 22 million people aren't wasting at least an hour or more a week on unofficial breaks and chat sessions?
And they would just stop doing that if they were switched to Linux? If it were so easy to get rid of inefficiencies, it would have been done already.
The human eye is a display?
That was so bad. Does that writer even think about what they've written?

That's literally how it works. Anyone they think they can push around, they do.
And they don't push around gun owners?
Not the way they did in Waco, that's for sure.
Then how?

Yeah that's what I thought.

See you're totally convinced now right? Right??
the more we are pushed to switch to "renewables", the more locked in we will be into gas and oil.
You lost me there.
