I think this should be the standard for all gun usage. You must have a licensed armorer present before anyone can handle a firearm.

Think it's funny? The entire American Film industry has only lost three people to firearms accidents. Anybody using firearms in law enforcement, military, or even just privately should be embarrassed by their pitiful attempts at safety culture.

Warehousing a person for decades as just a vessel for the life you intend to eventually take is competitive with the brutality of any torture I've ever heard of.

They share a dormitory with other inmates in a prison notorious for bad conditions. By American Standards.

I love you Philip Morris this is not.

The individual explosives were probably 15 or 20 grams of material that could be disguised as part of the case, components, or battery. Plastic explosives can be molded, painted, and wired to resemble almost anything.

IDK for sure, it could be as you describe, but I doubt it because the pagers were in place for months and many of them were likely disassembled/repaired in that time.

If you think people are stubborn for sticking with Youtube and Reddit, just think how many people cling to the belief that customers control corporations by voting with their money.

Just a tiny push-back here: The political philosophy of the founding of America did depend on the 18th Enlightenment, but it also has roots in the 17th century Protestantism of the English Civil War.

Specifically ideals like "Equality before the State", separation of Church and State, and universal (male) suffrage, have a direct through-line to anti-monarchist, anti-Catholic, radical Puritanism.

I'm no David Barton, but America didn't fall out of a coconut tree.

What toppings? Are we talking fresh Moz? White sauce? This is very important.

Is this just a stealth "cellphone bad" comic?

I hope he does run: for inmate trustee of the month.

 

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?

 
 
 
 

I have a recipe that calls for a dough to be autolysed (long bulk ferment while stretching and folding the dough). I'm fortunate to have access to a stand mixer. Is their any advantage to doing the autolyse? Should I just kneed it in the mixer to save time?

When Florida changed it's law to allow ex-felons to vote, I remember reading that the legislature put as many roadblocks as they could. Felons must complete all sentences, fines, and restitution before they can vote.

So any sentence or sanction that can't be fulfilled by November should exclude him from Florida's rolls, right?
