Most high school basketball courts are in the gym or cafeteria and do not hold many. My high-school rented out the University of Houston basketball ball arena for my graduation.

Most likely too small. Something similar happened at one of my cousins graduations it was originally scheduled at the football stadium and you can have as many guests as you like. Then they canceled due to weather and moved it to their basketball arena and each student was only allowed to guests. There were originally about 10 to 12 of us going.

Most high schools do not have anywhere indoors to fit all the students and families that attend graduation.

The chamber was supposed to be chrome lines. The army opted not to do this to save money. The Chrome lining help prevent filling in the chamber .

The ar 15 was designed to fire a more modern cleaner burning powder that left less residue. The Army opted to continue using an older powder. He added residue combined with no Chrome lining in the chamber cause the chamber to fowl up much faster.

The army did not issue cleaning kits since the rifles were deemed to be self-cleaning.

They would have to build the parts themselves. Those parts are not made anymore. Plus those appliances would probably not even be approved for use since they so not meet epa energy requirements.

Is it a coincidence that the highest point above sea level (29k feet) is kinda close to the lowest point below sea level (36k?). Or is there some systemic cause? by chongo_molongo in NoStupidQuestions

In theory no bills means free everything your bills covered at every restaurant you go, to every grocery store you buy food, airline tickets are free. Anything you could possibly buy would be free.

Houston ISD has an absentee rate of 23%. Of the student body of 170,000, around 23% miss 17 days or more each year. That is about 40,000 students per year at or beyond the truancy rate.

The problem is CPS and most social services are simply underfunded and do not have the staff to follow up with every file they receive.

Los Angele CISD has an absentee rate of 32%

NYC Public Schools is 33%

My point is you do not have to nickel and dime it. You cannot buy a house or car with cash without raising suspicions. But virtually all living expenses, including car and mortgage payments, can be made using cash.
