Bernie praised Venezuela as a good model when Chavez was in power. It is easy to make promises and shit on policy when you don't need to explain how it is paid for. I don't think he has good policy at all.

Yes but what is the street value?

I would call most plumbing as hoses as they are using flexible plastics in most installations. Pipes are generally referred to as rigid items. But that is selective even. Hoses under some definitions are pipes with multiple layers. Ie. Rubber and a metal mesh grid for strength.

Think the definitions are quite interchangeable. We simply use the cheapest most dependable option available that adheres to code.

If a fairing floats ashore am I safe breaking it down and selling it on the street?

Well that is why I would rather just kill the ones that are aggressive and less fearful and would approach people houses. Now I understand why you were being goofy. Is not about gun safety as I was asking but think any killing of nuisance animals it's unwarranted. Not what I was asking but thanks for your input.

If it comes to the death of one of my dogs or some coyote that hangs around, my dogs will always come first. Sorry if you think that is not normal.

To be sure there are ways to defend animals and large animals usually will protect their young. The majority of farmers with livestock have guns in Canada and few have any qualms of using them. We are not living in the stone age. Not sure what your problem is as I am curious what most are doing overall. I suspect most don't lock up not do I see it as a significant safety issue surrounding gun culture like there is in the US. I have never heard of a rancher going postal. Nearly all the mass shootings I can recall are from gun happy people that having nothing to do with ranch or farm type lifestyles. So not sure what your problem is unless you just like to be silly or argumentative or just a dink. Whatever. I am more worried about my smaller dogs. If I can kill them will do so but might have to hunt them down I suspect. Was hoping I could just take it the ones that approach the main yard but if hunting them, likely will have to kill them all as won't know who the nuisance ones are.

One of my first bosses noticed me doing a job in a particular laborish way when there were power tools available that would make it much easier. I remember him taking me aside and suggesting that it is better to use all the tools available if it makes the work easier. Better for me and better for him.

I have since become the boss and I often repeat similar advice to employees. I tell them I appreciate when they are working hard but I even appreciate it more when they work smarter but less hard. If there is a hole to dig, don't grab a shovel when there is an excavator nearby. I am more impressed by the work you get done and even more so if you do it with minimal labor.

I thought about poison but too likely a dog might get into it. Live traps are next best bet then they can be taken somewhere and shot safely. For bears the live traps are quite large so not so easy. Mind you not so worried about the bears. They run from even if small dogs. I am more concerned in the event where you need immediate access such as an attack. The Coyotes will come right up to the house but lucky the dogs have not been around or inside. They are crafty buggers so you pretty much need to be ready right then if you want to shoot them. Might just have to hunt them. We live right next to town and I know they have killed a few pets to date.

I suspect many with real wild animal issues do not lock their guns away although they may tell people they do. Curious how many people don't.

Space X gave it about a 60 percent chance of achieving separation and reaching expected altitude before it is destroyed. Hard to say one way or another if it will be fully successful but good chance it is not. Will get a great deal of info for next launch regardless.

They might not have 5 bears and 10 Coyotes in a small area. Not sure what you are getting at? I suspect some of them, particularly the ones with cattle and large area often travel around with rifles. They are a bit of a necessity but I don't suspect your much of an expert in that field. Looking for those that actually have more dangerous animals around they are dealing with daily or weekly.

Well I am deploying other options but not working that well. Just more curious what the ranch type guy that is using a rifle weekly if not daily does. Seperate lock up are not practical when you need them rapidly and at random times. I personally am for heavy gun regulation. Hand guns seem completely unneeded except for certain jobs and having more than say three rifles does not seem necessary. But in a farm or ranch situation, having them easily accessible is pretty important.

Curious here. Just moved to a large acreage and have some 5 bears and about 10 wolfs that pose a risk to my dogs mainly. I grew up with guns so comfortable around them but had not really used one in twenty years. Now the laws require them locked up at all times but I literally need access in seconds. Have a few times have had to scare of the bears but it is the wolves that are my biggest concerns.

I can't really lock them up or more to the point is that they would have near zero value locked up. I can't imagine most farmers lock them up. What is the general idea around this?

Edit. Coyotes not wolfs.

Well actually I would not expect a president to find all countries on a map but if said country will be coming up in debate or is actively in some conflict, I might research it a bit. I certainly wouldn't talk out of my ass on things that could easily be checked.

Much of it is purchased. People seem to forget this part.

Exactly. Forever and a day you have no rights to exsist except from the place where your ancestors came from a million years ago.

You rather made my point that the Palestinians have no greater right than the Israelites. Hamas on the other hand has stated with no ambiguity that their policy is to exterminate absolutely every last Jew in the middle East.

Why isn't it their land? They have legitimate claims a thousand years back but were ran off then.

This is a real bizarre thing for him to do. You are definately in his head. Congrats on that. Did you fuck his girlfriend... Wife... Dog? If not, you should.

Likely would be difficult to get those messages in front of the right person at said company. Also bit hard to for them to verify it is not some scam. I wouldn't bother but it is a nice thought.

I think WhatsApp is still fantastic. Just a matter of time till Facebook incorporates it fully in. That is what worries me.

The larger the dome the exponential the forces become. A thousand foot dome has 2 billion pounds of force acting on it. We don't have materials to handle those kinds of forces.
