Republicans are lot harder to pressure

Republicans caved to the Tea Party and a catch phrase. They are ridiculously easy to pressure.

The Democrats have been fighting against their own constituency for decades, pushing Hillary over Obama in 2008, Hillary over Bernie in 2016, and whatever you want to call that clusterfuck last year.

Hopefully, we can finally get a Guillotine Party to do to the Democrats what the Tea Party did to the GOP.

Perhaps shielded vessels are more easily detected on long range sensors. If you're constantly using shields, you're continuously broadcasting your location to everyone in the sector.

Agreed.

With all the pushback against those anti-gun arguments, it should be obvious that including them is an impediment to "cohesion".

That is not a fantastic deal. When insurers are denying 1/3 of claims, and providers are charging insured rates 10 times higher than uninsured rates, that is not a good deal at all.

It is a travesty that government props up this horseshit system. They should be arresting everyone involved with the health insurance industry for perpetrating a massive fraud on the American people.

What I especially love is that providers charge a much higher price if you use insurance. A $100 procedure becomes a $1000 procedure if you try to use insurance to pay for it. Then your insurance says "sorry, you haven't reached your deductible", and the provider bills you the full amount.

All the stupid fuck had to do was lock the clocks, ending the time change.

I discovered a simple upgrade for the infotainment systems in most cars. The screens work perfectly well with either suction or adhesive-mount phone holders.

Even the shittiest phone is a major upgrade compared to any built-in infotainment system.

Tyrany of the majority is as such democracy,

Democracy is not "majority rules". Democracy is "Government by consent of the governed". You're describing "populism", not "democracy".

"Populism" is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. "Democracy" is every measure the sheep has to keep themselves of the ballot.

The wolves will take their populist position and complain about "minority rule", but the principles of Democracy dictate that the sheep must not be subjected to their popular whim.

I mean realistically what is you owning a gun gonna do against a drone strike or whatever other tech the military has?

All of that tech is reliant on logistics. People in trucks, moving stuff from where it is, to where it will be used.

With guns, that logistics network is vulnerable.

The Russians spent 10 years fighting Afghan resistance, and lost. The US spent 20 years fighting Afghan resistance, and lost. The American civilian populace is much better equipped than Afghani fighters ever were. Any forceful defeat of the American populace will require civil disarmament.

 

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

I also work for a hot air balloon ride company, again, because I love it. But, the balloon business is seasonal and weather dependent. We fly about 8 months out of the year, and about half our scheduled flights are canceled due to weather.

I'm looking for one more hobby/gig to do in the off-season or when it's just not flyable.

Something more interesting than DoorDash... I really don't want to go back to that.

Z59.71 is a medical diagnostic code for "Insufficient health insurance coverage".

It's a diagnosis that should never have existed.

 

That David wrapped around his neck before pleasing himself and meeting his Lord.

 

The Outrageous: Homeowner Lannie Fentress was beaten and arrested for trying to put out a fire in his own home.

The Interesting: A special grand jury assembled to investigate the charges refused to indict Mr. Fentress.

The Amusing: That same grand jury turned around and indicted Police Sgt. DJ Newton, the arresting officer.

Gripe #1: From inbox, replying directly to a comment, I get the error "Could not determine post to comment to". I don't have this problem when I am viewing a comment in a post's, thread, only when viewing it from the inbox.

Gripe #2: Tapping the comment in the inbox takes me to the comment thread for the post, but does not take me to the specific comment within that thread. In a long thread, I can't always find the specific comment I am trying to reply to.

Edit: version 0.2.4

Edit2: Gripe #3: haven't figured out how to edit posts within Thunder; had to switch to Connect to make these edits...

 

I am getting this error pretty regularly. I'll see a message in my inbox, and when I tap through to view it in context, it's missing. Can't find a cause or a workaround.
