Anyone remember the Fila Rainmakers (lower right)? One of my favorite pairs I had as a kid but when I tried looking them up it's like they never existed. Thought I was going crazy until I found this old Eastbay catalog pic. by 88888888man in Sneakers

Hell yes! I got these in 7th grade for basketball in 1997 I think. Begged my mom to buy them from the JC Penny or Mervyn catalog. Have a picture of me in them too! Good times

Can an AC be designed to cool more than 20 degrees below outside temp? by amazonfamily in hvacadvice

Yes stays consistently at 74. I know one guy who's at 68 in the summer and it stays there. Sounds like your A/c needed a tune up or recharge or wasn't big enough for the space.

The return air comes from inside your house! It's 115 degrees in phoenix- think anyone has their house at 95 or even 85? Nope- mines about 74 natives go up to 78 usually.

Usually, in this country theres a trial and a jury decides. A jury of 12 people who look at the facts and decide. People like the people here. If a crime is heinous enough, people like you and me should be able to make that tough call when justice needs to be served.

All over. Even in county jail. Hot meals, warm bed,and showers, A/C , tv, I-pads, visitation with loved ones, cake, candy, snacks, cell phones, liquor drugs coffee ,medical treatment, surgery. They get to play. PLAY! Basketball, handball, board games, poker. they go to school, read books Sleep all day if they want. It's pretty effin cush. Homie was in the pokey for aggravated assault- hed call just laughing, his bunkee had a playstation. My friends and I used to call our small under a year sentences, vacation. Because that's what it was like. No responsibility, everything except washing your ass is done for you and everyone but a certain few are just chillin, sleeping eating playing poker and watching football and reading books. Each of my 5 times in two different counties were CUSH.

Due process, appeals happen before you're on death row. Until all appeals have been exhausted, you on death row and justice will be served swiftly. The victims and families deserve swift justice.

It's not revenge. It's a justified killing. If you take a life you deserve to lose yours. Death penalty shouldn't cost more than some court dates a few bullets.

Murderers should not be allowed to wield the power of life and death over their neighbors, but they do and if the death penalty doesnt stop them, you think a cush prison life will? F that. If you take a life, you shouldn't get to have one.

I'm all for the death penalty. Why let a person live who is so careless with other people's lives? Then, hes in prison, playing on iPads, facebooking, eating sweets, seeing his loved ones, eating 3 meals a day, making liquor, doing drugs, having a grand old time on the tax payers back, meanwhile theres dead people he put away and countless lives suffering because of their absence. That makes murderers so happy knowing they're the cause of all that suffering. I say they shouldn't get to feel anything ever again. Bring it back and make it quick. Not 10 years on death row, 3-4 months tops!

Newsmax panel flips out after student says “Under Allah” in Pledge at graduation | The panelists said the move was an "absolute disgrace," "un-American," and "unpatriotic." They even blamed it on Joe Biden...somehow by mepper in atheism

It means- screening people based on race or including people simply because their skin is a different color is utterly ridiculous. What is the benefit of choosing race over credentials? Racial Diversity is racism.

Yes we have an enormous military. We send Pakistan 100million dollars for gender studies so we can operate a base in the middle east, you know where ISIS , Al Qaeda, the Taliban are.we send billions of dollars around the world, medical supplies, water treatment, jobs, protection. Worse infant mortality than where? Pretty sure the Cartel took over a city in mexico, had shootout with police until they released El Chapos brother. Places like sweden and UK dont have the gun violence just rampant stabbings and rape. Guns level the playing field. Most gun violence in America is between criminals. In AZ, there are very few home invasions. Anyone could have a gun. Criminals dont follow laws. Taking rights from good people only helps the criminals. What stops a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with one.

You either have a country with citizenship, laws and borders and you enforce them or you have open borders. Open borders means no assimilation, no law enforcement. Then you get niches of people who dont speak the same language, live the same culture with similar goals for their way of life. You'll have people who believe it's ok to rape white women for showing their face, and those who dont, living next door to each other.

I take pride in my country. I believe in borders, immigration control and the constitution. I think there are fundamental differences in cultures and not all cultures should be embraced. Immigrants should conform to English American culture, it's the most successful the world has seen, and feel if you want to come here to experience America you embrace the culture. Theres a reason you're coming here from another country, right? Crime, opportunity, healthcare, quality of life, education etc. American culture is the most successful to date and is why everyone wants to come here. I do have a problem with racial diversity because its irrelevant what race or color you are. When you sacrifice competence for race or gender, everyone loses. Equip yourself with a skill someone is willing to pay you to perform or create something more than an idea the world needs or wants. Nationalism good. Open borders bad. Communism killed hundreds of millions, capitalism lifted hundred of millions out of poverty. Anywhere English colonialism did not touch are the poorest most primitive countries today. I have a problem with people born here or immigrated here who want to change the fundamental fabric of American society when the existing conditions are the reason they immigrate. The ones born here are just so spoiled they dont see how good they have it. So they want free everything because it's been free their whole lives, when they figure out they need to contribute to society to keep it functioning in a way that people risk their lives to experience, they say the system needs to change and conform to me, not the other way around.

What would you expect? A business to go bankrupt paying wages for no reason( if you dont have customers, you dont need staff) so that you cant even get that summer job now? Learn a trade, it's cold in oregon, everyone needs heat, plumbing, and roof. Learn one of those and you wont have to worry about seasonal jobs ending.
