"You'll have to ask my lawyer about that"

They should show the part where they killed their own to prevent them from being captured.

On top of that many cops are former marines and could be in the national guard being called in.

Don't place a car airbag under a manhole cover, it's very dangerous.

"Support our troops" was a way to deflect criticism of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was propaganda.

It starts to separate the bottom half of the stick housing when you push on them hard all the time and causes it to drift. That's why shimming them temporarily works.

They've written vague laws about leaving children unaccompanied unreasonably. If you leave your 13 year old alone for a week then that's child abuse probably. So this is the outcome of those laws.

There's a big difference between a passive surveillance camera and a network of devices that logs every time you go past one of the 83k+ spots or a car equipped with them. It's warrantless tracking and a constitutional violation. They've already been declared illegal in several criminal cases, but it hasn't reached a higher court yet. There is a lawsuit over these but I haven't heard anything about it in awhile.

Edit: It survived a motion to dismiss and is moving forward in federal court.

Illinois just banned this practice in certain areas where the only source of water is underground. ADM in Decatur Illinois has a project which leaked under the lake and ADM lied about it for months. The funniest part is that local politicians were shocked ADM would lie like they didn't make a whole movie about it starring Matt fucking Damon.

Illinois does stuff like this all the time. They ended cash bail a couple of years ago, and legal weed

 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
