This is barely responsive to what I said, which was about a tweet attributing mass shootings to Democrats that was pretty easily disprovable with just a passing knowledge of these events/places. Nobody has ever said that NRA members commit mass shootings at a higher clip; the fact that...

I find the knee-jerk impulse to ban AR-15s as annoying as anyone but this tweet is kind of ridiculous just on its face. Is it saying these shootings took place in areas that are mostly Democrat? Odessa/Midland is about as deep red as it gets, Uvalde and Colorado Springs are only somewhat less...

Super helpful, much appreciated!

Appreciate you posting all the screenshots from the complaint. There's lots of discussion about how this was fundamentally a bad deal, that the ACC wasn't exactly forthright in its negotiations, etc. But is the crux of the argument that the GOR is invalid because it lacked new consideration...

Spending 6 hours on this quiz because I have to say "pause" 2000x as I consider each answer choice....

But that has to be full contract value right, over several years (maybe 4 with 5th year team option or something)? Which aren't guaranteed. Don't think 6th rounders are making 4mil a year. Probably less than $1m a year or around there.

1000% cap. This is another way of saying "panicking."

Some nice comeuppance for this guy: https://therealdeal.com/miami/2023/07/12/coconut-grove-developer-at-center-of-alleged-fraud-facing-eviction/ For anyone not following, this developer was doing a real-life bar exam question and selling the same houses to multiple buyers while neglecting to...

The specific company that does the certifications that experts urged of OceanGate's founders is DNV, which specializes mainly in classing and certification of naval submarines (materials, construction, testing, etc.) but also does the same for research and other subs. The US Navy has their own...

Will be interesting to see what happens in Boston now. Firing Mazzulla probably the first move - it's just the easiest way for them to make a change (or make it look like they are making a change). He got put into a tough situation where he was following a much loved coach that had full buy in...

Kennesaw is also a rural town of ~33K, so the proper measure would be whether it has lower crime compared to similarly sized cities. Sources are somewhat mixed but it sounds like even the local law enforcement attribute the safety there to other factors in addition to their unenforced mandatory...

To be fair this sounds less like a problem with squishy prison abolitionists (as USDAs are appointed at the federal level and not elected locally) than a problem with the general incentive systems of DAs, which are to bring low cost, high certainty prosecutions. It's a complicated issue to be...

Someone should start publishing a The Bank but for the general mood of the board and whether the Mopes or the Slurpers are ascendant/who is carrying the day. - The Mopes are out in full force, accusing our head coach Mario Cristobal of acting too slow in the transfer portal for several...

I'll set aside your point about criminals, which is well taken but it's true whether permitless cc exists or not and to criticize the merits of the law it's best to assume someone who is otherwise carrying legally under it. For pure bars - that is, establishments with no other purpose - yes...

They must be counting anything that happens to the cadavers as "assault." In seriousness, I've heard Danville is kind of ****** these days but that seems like an awful lot. Given how much higher it is than the next school, I'd guess either a). it's a mistake, or b). like many other small...

I grew up shooting guns and own several myself since before COVID. Unlike the hysterics and the newly minted wannabe preppers with more disposable income than sense (we call them "loot boxes"), I didn't need COVID to convince me of the benefits of responsible gun ownership. It is precisely...

And yet every day, hundreds of millions of people in the developed world without stand your ground laws get along just fine and don't become "prey." Despite all its faults, our society is such that for the vast majority of people things like stand your ground laws - a modern invention, by the...

This is true of most guns, obviously - the vast majority are used for things other than mass shootings. But let's not play dumb and pretend like it wasn't favored by those who did most of the really major mass shootings of the last 10 years or so. It's not a mystery why, just from a practical...

All due respect but if you think every person who wants to CC should be able to without a permit or even a cursory showing that they know how to properly handle a firearm, you just haven't spent enough time around other people, let alone other people handling firearms.
