I explicitly support this and encourage the cultural exchange.

If someone wants to come to America and wear a cool cowboy hat and shoot a wheel gun, please, enjoy. Have fun. Welcome.

Thankfully RHEL/Centos/Fedora also get attention thanks to the large corporate influence.

Anything else can just be compiled from scratch, after spending 6 hours trying to figure out what ajfiwn-0-libs-dev is in redhat land, only to find out it was libfiwn-devel all along.

Before 1916 theft wasn't an issue at the grocery, because the customer was not expected to fetch their own items.

You told the person what you needed and they went and got it for you.

If theft was the real reason, stores could simply return to this style of operation.

Yes thankfully we have 911 by text in much of the USA now

In the 10th and 5th circuit it is iirc.

It's still on the forms and the ATF can probably arrest you for it, but as of last month you would have 2 federal circuits of precedent.

US gun owner here:

It 100% warrants a call to the police.

Sounds like assault with a deadly weapon, and if he took it out to show, then it's brandishing. It doesn't matter if it was non-firming because the target didn't know that, and typically these laws are written to be what "a reasonable person would believe".

Also, at the time this happened he was a known user of Marijuana and thus not eligible to own a firearm, as that rule had not yet been struck down.

Don't tell anyone but I hid a networked kadis-kot program in the diagnostic database. Look for "Aft Tractor Beam Polarization".

If you get the grounding box you can have an antistatic collar for the dog and a strap for the human. Plug both in and you're both at the same potential.

Alternatively the human can touch the banana plug side of the strap, as the in-built resistor will "slowly" equalize the charges between you. I say slowly because in human terms as soon as you touch its already done.

The ugg boots may be electrically isolating as well, so a heel-strap is typically worn in ESD environments to overcome insulated soles. In combination with a grounding floor mat, this works without having to think too much about it.

Additionally, you can get a humidifier and maintain a relative humidity above 40%. Thankfully you don't need insulation to do this!

That's the beauty of the "can't hold the position consecutively" rule.

It doesn't matter what age, party, or how long you've been in office.

You can always run for a different office, or wait for the next term to run again.

You're right, it's never as long as this. I am young, though so I don't know how it would show in an ancient man hahaha.

I don't see the appeal in insisting everything is fine. I would rather see my leaders saying "hey, I don't feel good so I'm going to take some time to get healthy".

I do have to admit, after getting concussed I also appeared to freeze but I was thinking hard of what the right word is to say next.

That said, probably anyone in concussion recovery should be on leave from legislating. The brain will heal more slowly, and your work will be of poor quality.

That's all before getting into the actual politics of having a gerentocracy.

I know a lot of people have talked a out adding an age limit, but it seems to me most of the ancient ones are skating by on incumbent effect. If we had term limits it would resolve that. Alternatively something like the Virginia Gubernatorial rules where you cannot hold the position successively.

Yep, door already has a hole in it, get a cheap kwikset at the big box and slap that in there
