You have a person who chose to arm himself and enter a situation where he could be harmed and ended up killing other people, and faced no legal repercussions. So people are reacting to that. If we're going to be the gun society that we are, you should have to be responsible for what you do with you...

I took advantage of the relatively warm day to swap on my snow tires and change the oil. All set for winter weather.

What's the typical sentence for rioting? Depends upon exactly what the specific person did: For property damage: a fine not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 3 years and 6 months, or both. For arson of buildings: a fine not to exceed $100,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 40 years, or...

Do you think he’s a responsible gun owner? I’m having a hard time reconciling what you’ve said about responsible gun ownership and his actions with his gun. I wouldn't have gone there that night. However, once he was there, everything he did was legal and justified. It was a bad idea to go there. I...

Hopefully they're practicing a bombing run.

As has now been found by a jury, Rittenhouse engaged in lawful self-defense. Lawful self-defense should be lauded and supported; it's a fundamental right. I'd bid on the rifle. It would be neat to own the gun that put a couple of criminal antifa f**ks in the ground. I'm sure it would go for far more...

Only hope was that he'd be found guilty of something that would revoke his right to own a firearm. Once the firearm charge disappeared that wasn't going to happen so I resigned myself to defeat. Can't say the world got any safer with that decision. Considering that he was acquitted on all counts, t...

LOL Falcons. Three different Falcons QBs throw picks on three consecutive possessions.

Other than maybe the one French guy on that list, I don't believe that any of the others started out rich or inherited their wealth. For the most part, Musk, Bezos, Gates, etc. made their money by starting companies that turned out to be wildly successful, which means that investors view them was hi...

The Habs are terrabad.

The median of social opinion does not favor defunding the police. Democrats do. The median of social opinion is not down with cancel culture the Great Awokening. Democrats are. The median of social opinion does not believe that riots, property damage, and screaming at folks in restaurants are accept...

With the official CDC list of underlying medical conditions still including overweight/obesity and now including such things as mental-health disorders and even former (not current) smokers, I'm thinking probably 75% of adults have to fit on there somewhere. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov...

Pittsburghers: "We desperately need someone new to come in and buy the Pittsburgh P—."

Fenway Sports Group: "Say no more. Here's our offer for the Penguins."

Pittsburghers: "Pirates! We were saying Pirates!"

This needs an option for "no Pen scores."

I would say the SCOTUS would lean against the emergency rules. Generally speaking, but now always, more conservative judges tend to be less willing to defer to administrative agencies and their rules than do the more progressive justices (and vice versa), but it's not necessarily a matter of politic...

The Sixth would be considered by many to lean conservative and has a roughly 2:1 ratio of R appointees to D appointees. It was one of the circuits where a multi-state challenge to the rules was filed (the one brought by Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Idaho, Oklahoma, and West Virginia). Panel selection ...

The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (covering Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee and based in Cincinnati) "won" the lottery to hear all of the challenges to the OSHA emergency Covid vaccine mandate. This will consolidate about 34 individual pending lawsuits, some of which c...

The US seems very slow to adopt new headlight tech. It wasn't until, IIRC, the early 80s until the feds allowed automakers to use something other than government-mandated standard sealed-beam lamps (big round, small round, big rectangle, and small rectangle, if I'm remembering right).

Could the Pens ask for a couple of games so they have more time to recover from sucking?

Pennsylvania was just about the only state that prohibited semi-auto rifles for hunting. Wisconsin permits semi-auto rifles for hunting and places no restrictions on magazine sizes, either. So if you want to go hunt deer with your .300 BLK or 6.5mm Grendel or .350 Legend or whatnot, you can use your...
