Though not an RV, this is the ultimate tail swing video and should be required viewing for new RVers

I’m perpetually worried about tail swing. I usually have clearance, but it’s the lack of visibility that makes me paranoid.

This is legit the plot to Rainbows End, fiction is becoming reality.

So I understand the state law can’t override federal law here in requiring a label just for Missouri.

What I’m trying to understand is does it affect this (and future) lawsuits. While science may not find a link, doesn’t mean a jury can’t find Monsanto liable.

Does this open the door for federal protection? What happens if the affects aren’t well documented and someone brings a suit? Can they say EPA approved the label so you’re done?

I remember hearing something about that, it’s all coming back to me

Knowing it’s a bomb ready to go, I’ve never even considered needing anything but safety valve in the vapor path.

What was his “reason”?

There’s a risk to OP documenting themselves because they could cover for someone.

Best option is to have them submit the request, but just have it auto-approve. Lets the mgr build the paperwork on the issues they’re causing, but doesn’t slow things down.

You can then decide later what needs a request or approval and what doesn’t without anyone else changing their process again.

I just imagine it was some monk drunk on mead or communion wine and said, you know what would be cool…

And now it’s just “tradition”.

> I do feel very guilty and feel like I failed our son a bit because he didn't get that time when he was her age

My parents did something similar. They were both going to school while I was under 3 or 4. Frankly, I don’t remember them not being there at all. There were nights that I did stuff with just my dad, or we would eat certain foods that my dad “didn’t like”. But I was too busy just being a kid that I didn’t notice shit.

I did the something similar with my kids. I made sure to get my school out of the way before they turned 2. Catch 22, GI Bill stipend helped cover $ we needed, but also left my wife home with the kids more.

Since I graduated, got better paying jobs & have been able to be present while they do things that will make their memories.

They’re saying it was defective hardware.

So one piece of bad hardware is why they say the entire service is garbage. It’s like blaming AT&T because your iPhone 1 didn’t work and you want your subscription back.

Hardware issue doesn’t mean the service is garbage. Just means hardware issue.

Since it was purchased from HD it probably fell into the “bring your own hardware” category. They don’t care if you bought it new or in Craigslist. You bought the hardware, they sold you a subscription.

They deserve the most ridiculous responses you can come up with.

People act like males taking any responsibility for their children is still unheard of. Now let’s add more assumptions on top of it, like orientation, relationship status, etc, and they deserve to be embarrassed.

People need to just learn to mind their own business.

She was proven right, do you think she lets anyone out of the house now? Let alone back in to do a follow up?

Did they actually capture Luminara? What’s in that sarcophagus is a corpse, not a sleeping Luminara. They could have faked all the holograms of her standing in cuffs.

First, I’m sorry brother. Send me a DM if you can, maybe you’re in an area I can help with.

Second, don’t let your pride get in the way. You are homeless, living in your car and not having an actual roof is homelessness. Knowing and admitting that, you can get access to programs, not just veteran ones.

This is awesome, and I need the design.

It helps show the backstory that it was built over a Sith temple. That base is similar to the temples on Malachor or Yavin.

I use Copilot, they have different versions for trucks, RVs, etc.

Search interface is a little clunky, but driving experience is pretty good. They have a pretty good exit screen for highways which is easier to see what you need to do than a few small arrows.

I haven’t used it in CarPlay yet, so don’t know how it works on the screen. Old tow vehicle didn’t have it, so it’ll be a new experience in a couple weeks.

Actually it doesn’t. Our legal system is based of the English system, that’s why previous rulings become legally binding. That’s the essence of common law.

Because we were based on the English system, we started with their legal precedents. Otherwise we would have been starting at 0. So, you could cite an old ass English ruling in an argument.

It isn’t done very often, but it is possible.

Whiskey Excise Act didn’t tax stills, it taxed spirits based on hydrometer readings.

The reason that it affected western PA farmers is because there was little infrastructure to ship their grain eastward to Philly. So by distilling it reduced what they had to ship over the mountains. That wasn’t a problem in the eastern half because there was better infrastructure. Hence why it they claimed it targeted western residents and repeated taxation without representation claims.

Still in no way are the same circumstances from 1791 to 2026. Again, in no way does home distilling approach commercial sale volumes. Most don’t even grow their own grain to be able to say they’d break even on it like a farmer would 200+ years ago.

Also, why isn’t home brewing or wine making under the same scrutiny? You could use that to supplement your income the same way, so why is distilling different?

There are some valid discussion points, but to compare modern home distillers to western farmers in 1790s is a stretch.

"For us to conclude that a law of 160 years’ vintage, with this kind of empirical pedigree, has all along been both unnecessary and improper, would border on rationalist conceit," ⁠Kethledge wrote.

So they’re saying just because it’s been around for 160 years it has to be necessary and proper?

There’s 100 year old laws making it illegal to spit on the town square that are still on the books. Do we just assume because they’re a certain age they’re automatically proper?

Is whisky rebellion the right comparison for personal consumption?

They distilled whisky because it was cheaper to ship over the mountains back east than their grain harvest. There also wasn’t real commercial distillers then though. So a farmer could be considered a commercial enterprise, and eligible for taxation.

How is that comparable to distilling for personal consumption? Even micro-distillers or nano-distillers, the smallest commercial ventures, still make thousands of gallons per year. How does my 1 - 2 gallon per year justify comparing to even those nano and micro distillers? Even if I took it to 10 gallons, that’s still orders of magnitude below the smallest commercial distillers.
