When you have a policy of destroying old records, it isn't 'destroying evidence'.
They need to show that clearing browser history was not standard behavior for him.
I for example, have my browser set to destroy all history after every session.
In America, it is incredibly easy to buy a gun - even if, for example, your ex-wife has a restraining order against you getting within 1,000 feet of her.
Given how easy it is to buy a gun, it is incredibly silly to prohibit making guns.
Toilets belong in an entirely separate room, protected by a door. Two doors would be better - one going to the hallway, another to the shower/bath/sink.
Because whatever idiot came up with the idea of having your toothbrush, comb, shaving gear exposed to the same air as your toilet had never heard of germs or fluid dynamics.
The US government decided that they wanted to know all about large cash transactions, mainly because they are so insecure that they are mostly done by people involved in crime. The main reason to do one is to avoid government detection of that crime.
But as there are legal reasons to do this, so they did not make it illegal to do. Instead Congress (and he was a member of Congress at that time) made it illegal to do one WITHOUT notifying the government.
He failed to comply with the law he himself had voted on. He broke the law and he, among all people, clearly deserves to go to jail for doing so.
Anyone that has seen the Jurassic Park documentaries knows that Dinosaurs are FAR smarter than we gave them credit for.
They saw their own extinction coming - it wasn't that hard to detect the meteor - and began a secret government project to breed themselves into small, flying creatures.
You do realize that I personally don't want to destroy planes? Instead we are talking about people like, ISIS. Who routinely use missile technology.
I guarantee you that when whoever replaced Osama Bin Laden wants a Surface to Air Missile, he gets one. Probably a lot easier than it is for him to get suicidal people to board an airplane.
You missed something. That's not the his right arm, it's his hand. It is normal for a finger to be attached to a hand.
Zoom in on the picture and you can see that his right arm is down by his side. The elbow is WAY out of frame, it should be close to where the light gray progress bar turns dark gray.
If a terrorist wants to blow up a plane, they use a Surface to Air Missile from just outside the airport.
If they want to hijack a plane, it won't work anymore because the doors are heavily locked - any explosive capable of opening the cockpit door will crash the plane.
The routinely miss liquids - water, suntan lotion, etc. I traveled with someone that packed suntan lotion in a carry on bag and they missed it. They found and took the blade out of his safety razor, but missed the suntan lotion.
Even their own original studies claim that any benefit is far exceeded by the cost. The basic rule for MOST government agencies is if the cost exceeds $1 million per life saved, don't bother - smoke detectors cost $210,000 per life saved.

But the TSA argues they should be allowed to spend $10 million per life saved - and admit they actually cost $180 million per life saved.

Their budget should be cut to 1% of what it currently is, that way we will only be spending twice what we spend on other industries to save lives.
If he has a good lawyer, they will probably settle, agreeing to have his record wiped clean and drop all charges in exchange for him not suing for money.
We already have solar sails, but this could make them work much better. Real question is what happens if you paint one side.
A solar sail with one side painted and the other painted with graphene might be really cool.
1) Ability to communicate what you need and what you can do - politely and convincingly is worth far more than any other skill you have - even if you are the best computer programmer in the company.
2) If they don't give you a real promotion in 3-5 years, then they never will - but another company will give you the promotion. Make contacts.
3) Finding a place where you are happy is worth more than that promotion or the extra money.
You have misunderstood quite a bit of what was going on.
I am glad because I think his wife would very likely be DEAD if this angry idiot had not been sent to prison.
I think his wife's continued life is in fact an improvement of the situation.
I also think that this guy will most likely be better off now - with a conviction that was overturned by SCOTUS - and enough time for him realize that maybe keeping his dumb mouth shut would benefit him than he would have been if he had been convicted of another actual crime of physical violence, that he so clearly was heading towards committing.
The man in question had actually finished serving his sentence of 44 months (less than 4 years) and been released from prison.
That said, after reading what this moron actually posted on Facebook, I am glad he spent his time in prison, even if the Judge gave the jury 'poor' instructions.
He certainly sounds like the kind of angry idiot that was (and probably still is) dangerous.
You have a bit of a point, but a particularly great one.
Yes, bone fractures, poor eye site, weakened immune systems would all be betterr if your cells do not age.
But on the other hand a lot of the illnesses associated with old age are caused by TIME, not by aging. Plaque in the arteries is caused by decades of poor eating habits, not by elderly cells.
Most importantly, aging is in fact a defense against cancer - it prevents cells from reproducing without limits. In fact, some people think that the only reason we ever evolved the process of aging was to stop cancers. Worse, it is cause again by long term exposure to gene altering effects, not natural aging.
I agree that certain disease would vanish, butt others would become far worse. A major risk is that the age reversal process still leaves us with the same risk of seniality. It could very well be that the human mind simply has so much memory available once it is filled up, we are out of luck
1. most people don't die from 'old age'. They die from heart disease, cancer, car accidents, etc. Reversing aging won't stop this. At best, life expectancy will double. You might get a few outliers that live to 200 but you will also get people dying at 50 from a heart attack
2. But there are some real effects. Social Security will vanish - no more quitting your job merely because you are old.
3. The real question is what to do with criminals - should we let someone with a life sentence in prison get life extension drugs? What if they are rich? What about long sentences like 70 years? What about people that get out of prison after 10 or 20 years - do we ever wipe their criminal record - what if they've been good for 60 years, should they suffer another 100 years of no job prospects merely because they made one mistake before they were 80
And then there are the mentally disadvantaged. Not just crazy people, but down's syndrome and severely autistic and similarly impaired people. If their parents are dead, will anyone take care of them? Must we give them life extension just to institutionalize them for centuries?
In fact, let's pass a law that requires anyone that ever puts sound or video on a restaurant's web page, to walk around with a giant, bright blue dunce hat on the head. And make it legal to randomly blow boat horns right next to their ear.
I have never ever, not once, wanted to see a video of a restaurant. Nor do I want any music or sounds when I try to get their location, hours, phone number, and maybe check out their menu. Maybe once I looked at a picture to see if it was a dive or not, but that's it.
That is ALL we ever want to know about a restaurant.
Do you have any evidence to back up your claim? Frankly given the actual history - with bridges etc. given estimated life expectancies on creation that have now long passed - the burden of proof is clearly on YOU to claim that our infrastructure is not crumbling.
We have a situation where the Federal government built things on the premise that the states would maintain them, but the states - in large part due to people like you - have refused to spend the money the Fed said was necessary from the get go.
This is the reality and easily verifiable historical record.
Perhaps you are right - that the original maintenance recommendations were excessive. But you need to prove it, not just make a blind statement and complain about how much it costs like a greedy idiot that refuses to pay for oil changes on his car and get's upset when it breaks down.
I disagree strongly. When you are the driver, you want the drive to be enjoyable driving. There is a lot of stuff built into cars to let the driver enjoy the drive - even for cheap cars. Good acceleration, torque, feeling the road, all matter even for a simple drive to work. Competition and worry about being late makes you drive faster. Arriving someplace 4 minutes faster means you spend 4 minutes of your life DOING something better than driving.
But when you become the passenger you suddenly no longer care at ALL about acceleration, feeling the road, etc.. Driving slower is perfectly OK - because you are already doing something - reading, watching a movie, etc. Arriving someplace 4 minutes slower is no big deal, not even if you are late to work.
In your specific example, the Corolla has much more back seat space, but much LESS torque. Because it doesn't have the torque, it "feel'" weak and slow when you drive it. Which is a major reason why the Taurus is so much more expensive.
Take a pimped out car. Let's say it's worth $50,000 on the open market. But if you break it apart and sell the pieces, you can probably get $80,000 or more - even admitting they are used. People don't like to do that, inpart beause it's a lot of labor - sometimes more than $30,000 to do dismantle the car and sell the pieces, even online.
With corporations, it often works the other way around - the whole is worth a lot more than the parts. Sum of it's parts is not a reliable way to price something. A prime example would be Apple corporation. If you were to break it up, so that the phone, music players, computers and tablet were all held by different companies and they would be worth a LOT LESS than the whole. It is the integration, the compatibility, that makes those things valuable.
Another good example is Amazon. Break it up into 3 different companies - a book company, an electronics company, amazon prime video, other physical products, and an internet fee processing company and it suddenly becomes far LESS valuable. Amazon makes it's money in large part by being the 'one stop' shopping location.
Management is also either worth something or a drag on the earnings.
Sum of it's parts is not a reliable method of pricing. It is at best, a 'ballpark' method, where things should be worth no more than 3 times that value, and no more than 1/2 that value.

Look, you want some geek cred, you come out in favor of Star Trek/Star Wars and dis the other.
But talking about the metric system is like talking about ... well, the metric system.

The only possible explanation I can have for this ridiculous claim is that it is a false flag attack designed to destroy Men's Rights.
