Funny, that the 1993 assault weapons ban basically made bayonet lugs illegal (that is, if you actually wanted a detachable magazine and a pistol grip on your "assault weapon". How many bayonet homicides do you hear about? Meanwhile, a bayonet would actually make a pretty good home defense weapon.
That's sexual consent. No, it's not more relevant to situations where things are put in your body (snicker), because not only is the drinking age not 16, it's 21. And that's another problem.
Thanks for your extremely relevant anecdote regarding one NYC news radio station on one day 25 years ago.
Meanwhile, a hurricane did hit New England the same day you were trying to find news about the coup, so it was a bit more than "... basements flooded in Long Island". People have more immediate concerns about their houses being destroyed.
The reason a state funded TV network like the BBC works so well is because they are set up as an independent state funded corporation (the 'C' in BBC/ABC stands for 'corporation'), this is vastly different to a state run TV network that's used as a political megaphone by the ruling party.
Yeah, because they'd never change their reporting if the ruling regime decided to reduce their funding if they didn't.
You have to make sure the thermostat has a C terminal for the common wire... unless you're into some advanced hardware hacking. You'll have to step the 24V down even further to 3V, I imagine, as these tend to run on two A or AA batteries.
I'd like to find a single house that ever caught fire due to improper thermostat installation. Because you certainly can't electrocute yourself with that 24V circuit, so what other reason could there be for government meddling?
I'm pretty sure that in the USA, millivolt and high voltage systems are much less common than the 24V. 24V works pretty much the same no matter what you have; there are more lines based on whether you have air conditioning in addition to automatic heat/cool switching. There's also the common wire to allow you to power the thermostat from it instead of burning your batteries out and freezing your house.
It's a big problem relying on only one power source, especially if it's a battery. I wouldn't use a sophisticated device like a Nest unless it was also powered through the 24V line from the furnace. It's nice that WiFi allows us to put a device anywhere, but unattended power reliability is a challenge.
The funny thing is, the leftists don't like our militias. They call anything more serious than a target shooting club a bunch of gun nuts. And they won't let us have the same full-automatic arms that the military has. They talk about not needing an M-16 to shoot deer, as if a militia is about hunting.
Indeed. The National Guard can, by law, be DRAFTED by the US military. How is that a unit designed to defend the "security of a free state"? You can join the National Guard, then be told to impose martial law on your own neighbors.
Maybe we should question why permanent devaluation of currency is now the first-world monetary policy.
We laugh at countries like Zimbabwe that had to revalue their currency by several orders of magnitude due to hyperinflation. We're doing the same thing... it's just taking us longer, and we hide it by discontinuing lower currency denominations instead of issuing new currency.
You should learn more about American culture than what you see in a Michael Moore movie (which also involved Canadians, who are not generally considered gun nuts).
I wonder if the signatories would have been so willing to sign had they known that 30 shot repeating rifles with a reload time of 5 seconds for another 30 shots was something they would be putting their names to.
In the late 18th century, the flint lock was the state of the art, and the colonists used them in their militias. In 2016, the state of the art is a 5.56mm or 7.62mm select fire rifle with a 30 round magazine. I don't follow your logic. Why would you build a militia with obsolete arms that can't be used to defend anyone?
The suburbs are not full of guns. The suburbs are full of white progressive hypocrites (they call themselves "liberals") who fled the cities when the minorities got too "uppity".

Intent does, in fact, matter in criminal cases.
Your original comment was still pretty accurate. We haven't had a "singed" terrorist on a plane since the underwear bomber in 2009.
I should point out that murder is not the only violent crime.

Actually, I thought it was because Pluto hadn't cleared its orbit. The objects within its orbit are far more massive.
Yeah... but they weren't at 16. That's the only point I was trying to address. Parents are responsible for the actions of their minor children.
That's sexual consent. No, it's not more relevant to situations where things are put in your body (snicker), because not only is the drinking age not 16, it's 21. And that's another problem.
Why not 18?
The age of majority in the USA is 18. Yes, it is. I don't know where you got your 16 from.

That's the design flaw. It should be able to run directly from the 24V if the battery fails.

Slippery slope: bad logic.
Bandwagon: good logic.
