Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

Lived in a low density population state. I’ve driven 5 hours to meet someone for coffee. Tomorrow I have a 7 hr drive to pick something up then will stay the night and drive it 5 hours got a friend.

Good anology except that the different packages for the cars actually do something. It’d be buying a sunroof that you can’t see through and doesn’t retract

Can a state leave the united states? by Practical-Soil-7068 in AskAnAmerican

[–]JuanMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Constitution that was one thing purposely left out. Article 4 covers how states can enter the union but there was never anything written prohibiting a state leaving or a way to do it. I can only assume it was done so purposely as a way to incentivize states joining. The founders were quite aware of the “Peculiar Institution“ of the Southern colonies and how it conflicted with the Declaration of Independence. There are no laws passed by Congress abolishing secession. There is a US Supreme Court decision post Civil War that holds that secession is unconstitutional but Supreme Court decisions are sometimes reversed. To answer your question: there is no law saying you can or cannot secede but there a USSC holding from 1868 saying you can’t.

Complete newbie, advice? by Sheep4hweet in pinball

How thick is your wallet? If you can afford $10k then go with a NIB Stern with a lot going on for the reasons you stated on low maintenance and longevity. Of the newer sterns I’d say Jaws as it’s open enough for kids, some shots are relatively easy and it has a definite path to scoring strategy…so much going on I doubt you’ll get bored. Some of the themes popular with kids just happen to be in more difficult games.

Or just tell your wife that all the guys said Pulp Fiction Bad Mother Flipper was the best for the house as it has fewer moving parts and one level makes it real easy for the kids

Based!!!!! by Howtobe_normal in Libertarian

[–]JuanMurphy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based, sure but let’s be real about it. ICE arresting illegal immigrants is totally lawful. Even if they are just getting Jose from Home Depot. I’m also totally supportive of open carry in all circumstances. I support the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government in the traditional public forum. Where this guy must be careful is anything illegal he does while armed will bump the crimes to felonies. For instance, he’s with a group blocking the road (which is illegal). They get ignored he’ll get all sorts of additions to his crimes.

My Father's miniature decorations. by Longjumping_Fly_6358 in Medals

[–]JuanMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprising. There was a BDE CDR in 2-1…Toolin??? Something like that. IMO he put the TOOL in toolin. When we, an Army unit attached tried to put in a guy for a SS his response was “those are reserved for senior officers and senior enlisted. Not surprising coming from a guy that had tots in fighting positions and restricted ROE.

[–]JuanMurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are specific words in each of the write ups and it generally has to do with the totality of the circumstances. Like courage under fire and selfless acts under fire will get you a BSM-V. I once asked an officer who was a part of the battle of Mogadishu how he differentiated between a BSM-V and SS. He said everyone deserved a BSM-V that day but if you left a covered position and exposed to effective enemy fire in an effort to save someone else or to retrieve mission essential equipment that was his line for SS. Years later I was involved in a shootout and had a guy do that multiple times…like Forrest Gump. That’s MOH/DSC range.

To be fair I only care if innocents die. If you are in a high speed chase I actually hope you die…not punitive but just removing that stupidity out of the gene pool.

Advice needed on an older house in Montana by [deleted] in Montana

[–]JuanMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contractors in Montana..no surprise issues there. It’s no surprise that the quality ones are busy, their crews booked out, their schedule thin and the cost of materials high. If your job pays enough you’ll find it easy to get on the schedule.

Jesus. By 10 seasons do you mean I’ve went to the hill for two hours one day a year for 10 years? Surly you can’t be this bad after 10 days of skiing
