When I was 14 I thought I was smart. Asked dad (chem prof) for some high molar nitric, made up some nonsense experiment. Got it. Waited about 4 weeks, thinking dad has to have forgotten the nitric. Asked him for some high molar sulphuric (IIRC). Dad says: 'Nitrocellulose is much safer than nitroglycerin, don't be an idiot'. Then he gave me the sulphuric acid.
Granted that was awhile ago. The 4th gives me great confidence. Things that go bang are illegal here, 99% of what you hear is clearly homemade and large.
Q: What would happen to a private insurance company that tried to hold company bonds as reserves for a pension plan?
A: They would be shut down and the corporate officers in prison. Not arms length transaction. Not prudent investment. Horrible risk management.
Once US bonds get derated, the lie will be even more open. But the above points are already enough to jail the SS trustees, were they not holding the cops reins.
The interest rate on the debt is currently manipulated by the federal reserve. Who buys all the 'extra'* bonds at every auction. Sure we're 'servicing the debt', by rolling it into new 0% bonds. Chumps are starting to stop buying the bonds, other are only buying them for political reasons.
* extra bonds being defined as any bond that was going to cost more than 0% (-2%+- after inflation).
I see two unclear messages because GGP mashed his two thoughts into one sentence, reusing a fragment. I know of no languages that allow that trick, nor punctuation that could make intent clear.
Also GGP appears to be a LISP snob. Functional anyhow, deserving of any shit flipped back his way.
Getting lost mid sentence and hacking your way back sometimes happens when speaking. GGP had time to read before hitting submit.
All we need is a system of work permits/identification that works. Like Europe already has.
In Germany a Syrian refugee without papers just can't find work. Because the fines for hiring one are very high and employers do get caught (that and the Germans are neurotic law abiders/rule crazy, I digress).
In America, anywhere near the Mexican border all construction (jobs very much wanted by Americans) is done by illegal immigrants. INS could easily stop this but they choose not to.
Once the central valley left CA and rejoined the USA (including the ports of West Sacramento, Stockton, the Sierra Nevada and the entire CA water project)?

First was D&D. Then came supplements.
Then was AD&D
Then was D&D basic and AD&D.
Now it's just D&D again, but show up with the 3 books and supplements and the kids won't know what they are.
Chartered accountant/lion tamer.
It is still done. Just more discreetly.

Not illegal if you don't get caught.
Not quite clear on your English. You are speaking of evil laws (super restrictive gun laws) and the evil people that want them?
A universal problem.

The word you are looking for is 'plurality'. Largest segment, not majority.
German kids are starting to drink Jagermeister as booze instead of as a stomach tonic.
Because American kids don't know it's a stomach tonic.
Copy con: myprogram.exe
Then type in the headers, opcodes and operands with alt-numpad.
Hex editors, bah.

I also remember when the OS ran on top of a Basic interpreter. I never experienced it, but I understand there were OSs written in Basic.
Let's not even start with entering start points with toggle switches to get the system to boot.
Now a real old timer will show up to regale us with stories of stringing his own core memory, getting a stitch wrong...
'Lawbreaking illegal' is redundant.

Name one central valley river that runs dry? (actually: name one central valley river first.)
There is no more dry season water available to take. That's not the same as running dry.
We are all immigrants, including the casino indians.
Anybody born someplace is a 'native'.
Once the central valley left CA and rejoined the USA (including the ports of West Sacramento, Stockton, the Sierra Nevada and the entire CA water project)?
You didn't think about that did you?
True. But at least some new players are getting their share of the graft. Hillary was just trying to be a pig.
Which is easier, building a dam or blowing one up?
There is a good reason nations don't generally cutoff river flows to their downstream neighbors. It results in a washed out valley on their land.
The downside of Trump is he's not gridlocked on day one like Clinton would have been.
The upside is the Supreme Court won't be stuffed with gun grabbers.
She looks just like her dad, Web Hubble.
On record as saying he 'supported Castro'.
Which is close the fuck enough.
They would pick up the runways and take them with them?
Moron.
More likely CA east of the coast range leaves CA and rejoins the USA.
Which would leave the new nation of CA without water.
The best BBQ is CA would be broke in the Texas/KC/Memphis etc.
The best Chinese food in Texas/KC/Memphis etc would be broke in CA.
It is a tradeoff.
Having been raised in KC, I make better BBQ in my yard than anything from Texas. So I'm OK.
