That guy that works in a refinery definitely makes way more than $50k. Oil & gas pays very well, especially with overtime.

But you don't know their financial situation in any case. I know people that own houses because they got lucky. They knew someone that was selling and they got a good deal, or they happened to buy right before COVID and everything jumped. Or their family contributed, or they have something they inherited. Or they just financed everything and they're in debt up to their eyeballs.

I hate that I know this, but when it's ~15-19, it's ephebophilia.

Does TN have licensing or permitting? I'm guessing no. Maybe they should, if there are that many irresponsible people leaving firearms unsecured.

With 8,855 firearm murders in 2012, 2,363 is a significant part of that.

A more modern processor probably has better power efficiency. But this one should support features like turning off some of the cores or throttling down when not needed.

You could also see if you can get one with lower power consumption, like even the 6700T.

It was a state court that made that determination. Presumably the federal law applies to federal courts.

Yeah. It's not intended for that, but that's how it's used because there is no option for long-term storage.

That comment is sarcasm, implying that you can learn more by reading the article.

You're right, but for the wrong reasons. Lethal injection has been criticized for many things, including not being particularly effective, easily botchable, and difficulty in sourcing the materials.

Asphyxiation through nitrogen, though, is very effective, hard to mess up, and easily available.

Personally, if I had to choose my method, I'd want a firing squad. A half dozen bullets to the brain seems quick and decisive.

Yeah. All Gawker/GO Media brands have always been trash.

It worked so well for East Germany, after all.

Sort of. "Nothing weird happened today" doesn't make the news.

Or they use it for further identity fraud to open new locations.

Oh, "you" referred to that individual instance, I read it as the general.

This is why more people should adopt the second person plural "y'all".

I'm not following. If you're talking about cerebral hypoxia, it requires requires oxygen deprivation on the order of minutes, while carotid holds are effective on the order of seconds.

I've been living in MA for a few years now. How's the governor race looking without Sununu?

It is not common knowledge, because I'd never heard that until just now. Seems like a backronym to me, and the name "tea party" references the anti-tax event in 1773.

It looks like he was sentenced to a bit over three years for that crime, and was released after serving it, then kept in detention while they tried to deport him. And since they can't deport him, they can't keep him in detention. And he's served his sentence for the crime, so he's free to go. I think this is legally the right thing to do.

I'm not sure that such a short sentence was the right thing in the first place, but I didn't see any articles about the original conviction, so I have no idea what the circumstances were, so I have to assume the court felt that that sentence was appropriate.

Interestingly, the first vote failed, there were a bunch of speeches, then the second vote passed. It would be interesting to see who changed their vote, and what was said in the speeches to change their minds. (I didn't read the whole thing because I don't think this censure has much consequence.)

Where does it say you aren't allowed to use it? That quote says you can.
