For Americans, this is an example of a problem with 2nd amendment law. More and more people are choosing cars as their weapon, but US law has not caught up. We need to treat cars with the same respect as guns. Cars should not need registration, licensing, or insurance. Cars are armaments not transportation.

So many Americans are using cars instead of guns to kill people. We need to start treating cars like the deadly weapons they are. By that I mean, we need to stop registering cars, stop requiring people show proficiency in using cars, stop requiring insurance to use a car. It's what the founding fathers wanted when they wrote the 2nd amendment.

Cheap microphone for the church band. We need a spare.

As kids get older they consistently show that parents, even enthusiastic adoptive parents, are falling behind. Enjoy your kid while they are young and they will enjoy you when they are older. Let the OSs and computers fall behind, trying to keep up with the kid is far more important.

Saying "I pirated XYZ", though, is admitting to a criminal act, and can be used in court if linked strongly to a person through their account information and IP address.

The current Dream Chaser is cargo only, but Sierra Space would like to build a crewed version that launches without a fairing. The cargo version launches inside a fairing with folding wings.

I like how you use the word 'rich' instead of 'cartel' as if there were a useful distinction between them. They differ only on the scale of how openly they embrace violence as a solution.

NTA. Unless he purchased them from you with cash or a lowered rent, they are yours to do with as you please.

NTA. Your husband was showing you who he is and how he views women (and perhaps, you). Your son deserves better. He needs support in understanding both his feelings and how his parents would have him behave. If you have not had 'the talk' with him. Now is your chance to tell him that relationships are far more about communication than anatomy. Dad may be a lost cause, but continue to tell him when you disagree with him. He is unlikely to re-think his attitude unless he hears from you that disagree.

If Trump and his team could dream it up in far less than a month, mere mortals will be able to follow it. It's not really all that complex. Just f*** over the election counting process in a variety of ways.

That’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.

A solution requires more than just providing food and shelter. We have a class of people who are marginally mentally ill or barely literate. They do not function well enough to hold down a job or fill out a welfare form, but they function too well to require that they be locked up. These people need a semi-monitored place with enough oversight to keep them safe. The street can't do that, but they have no other place to go.
