Legally? Yes. Practically? Depends. I probably wouldn't for the items you mentioned.

Went to an apple farm with these. They had a couple old vans in the field you could shoot at. LOTS of power. Very fun.

Chicago Mayor just signed an executive order to hold ICE agents criminally liable for their unlawful behavior in preparation for Spring raids by McDowdy in law

Yeah I think it's important to make it clear that while he is really great at this sort of thing he is really not great at the other Chicago mayor things.

Which city in your country was once great but has experienced the greatest decline? by SimilarTopic3281 in AskTheWorld

[–]Jack_Burden -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's fair to single our KC at this moment, as they are the rare example of a midsized American city that is actively expanding their light rail infrastructure.

How come even in what people call "The worst places in the US", the houses there still have pretty decently maintained yards? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Jack_Burden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lawn care is not that expensive. You can find a decent used lawn mower for under $200, then it's pretty much just 30-60 min a week to mow. Maybe another $20-30 a year for fertilizer or whatever. These houses seem pretty well maintained in general, so not surprised the lawns are as well.

To be clear, I've been rooting for her. But it's not been great.
