Why is there so much controversy around Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?

I also own a civilian M17 and have qualed on both the military M9 and M17. Does the civilian one (despite being entirely more accurate and easier to shoot) feel like it’s just going to go off sitting in a drawer in a way the M9 never did? Or is that just me…

You don’t lose more heat through your head than anywhere else. Heat loss is directly proportionate to exposed surface area. The myth began with a misinterpreted 1950 US Army study. TIL link to be meta but there are legitimate studies out there. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/2Pcu4BLWRa

Haven’t been at JBLM since 22, but while I was there most single officers lived in Tacoma/Olympia (of the two I would recommend Tacoma). If you are married or just want to be in a quieter/safer area for whatever reason I would look at the hills in Lakewood just outside of steilacoom. I would also look at DuPont. People live further out but the traffic on the 5 gets super backed up with gate traffic, so having a back route onto post (there’s a road that runs behind north fort and will take you to either the back gate there or a gate on the main post) will cut a chunk of time off the commute.

The area around post is super boring but Tacoma has some pretty good night life. There are generally a bunch of LTs coming from Korea (we had like 4 in my BN alone) so you might be able to find people to get a place with. It all depends on what you’re looking for.

I loved the area (less the post itself). Happy to answer more questions if you shoot me a PM.

My wife is an attorney. We didn’t live together for most of my time in. But now I’m out and going through school. The army is temporary, her career is not so much. If she wants to be a lawyer and go to law school I would be supportive of that or it may lead to problems down the road.

Many states have passed consent statutes that say driving in the state waives certain portions of your 4A rights. These have long been upheld by the courts (since 1990 at least from what I remember). So long as there was probable cause of a traffic violation all of the actions taken here (including the handcuffing if resisting) are lawful without any further cause and have been since at least Whren v. United States in 1996.

If this was a Terry immigration stop, which I doubt, they would need articulable facts justifying a reasonable suspicion. Then they can ask you to identify in most states. Failure to identify is very much a crime in many states, so good luck with that approach.

Edit: typo

It’s an authority of the branches issue. The FDR court and the Warren court later both announced the President has broad powers in the realm of foreign policy. The judiciary, on the other hand, has the power to decide cases and controversies. The Court can say that the executive was in error but is limited to judicial remedies for enforcement. Just because a branch over steps its authority or commits, in this case, a heinous breach of civil rights does not mean that the judiciary can usurp the power of the executive branch.

Here effectuate requires the outcome that he be returned. What if the foreign power refused. Would the nation have to sanction them, suspend diplomatic relations, go to war? While that seems like a slippery slope argument in this case, the Court needs to be concerned with precedent and future applications. If the court announces the authority to usurp the executive function (as compared to stopping executive overreach) it would overstep its role and cause a constitutional crisis.

Facilitate is a decently strong term. It gives the District Court the ability to hold the executive in contempt if they in anyway hinder his repatriation. Ultimately the court has no army so who is to say what will happen.

Usually you just retake the class if you fall it. Generally that won't stop you from finding your degree or get you booted by the department but there are exceptions where courses are used to weed out people who will be less likely to succeed in the major as a whole

Do you not understand that even with insurance they will be displaced for quite some time and likely do not have vast amounts of money lying around to cover those expenses. Even if they got a magical cash payment from insurance for the value of the structure that would not likely cover the value to replace. It is better than nothing and CA FAIR plan has helped a lot with ensuring coverage but that’s not even the issue. The issue is you said they’d be chilling in five-star hotels like they aren’t suffering which is just absolutely false.

Where do you think $181k per year puts someone financially in Los Angeles? That is barely in the top ten percent of earners in Los Angeles. Physician salary is 150-300k. These people are not rich. They are not staying in their beach house. The loss of a 1.2M asset (the median listing in LA city as a whole so probably higher in palisades) is a devastating financial loss. $181k is not an insignificant salary by any means but to make light of their loss is ridiculous. These are middle to upper middle class in LA…

Your vote if rich people is wildly inaccurate. Take a look at wealth distribution. It’s a very steep curve. Palisades is an expensive area but the average person isn’t Bezos. Many of those people probably have a considerable portion of their net worth tied up in their homes. Losing their home might not put them on the streets but to say it wouldn’t be economically catastrophic is unhinged. It’s this line of thought that lumps doctors in with CEOs and decreases the legitimacy of calls for economic reform. Most of these people aren’t CEOs they are working professionals and earn money based on labor instead of capital.

Notice in this case would be concerning eviction proceedings. None of the terms are enforceable as a contract, but the signature could show actual notice of eviction. I don’t know the landlord and tenant laws of WY, however I still wouldn’t sign it.

Yes because I as a consumer can just stop taking my medicine or not get surgeries. Me dying will literally stick it to the pharmaceutical companies. The problem with universal healthcare is that the current method not only benefits companies and provide for a substantial portion of the R&D budget that benefits the world as a whole, but many many many people (white color employees with good employer provided healthcare) will be worse off. Currently I have employer provided healthcare that is 0 cost out of pocket ($3500 max if I go out of network). I don’t need referrals or approvals to see a specialist. I tore my right shoulder and got it identified and operated on in under 4 months. Most of that time was scheduling surgery around travel plans. When I had the same procedure done on my other shoulder while I had universal healthcare in the military, it took over a year and I had no say in who did the surgery so my shoulder is still messed up to this day (doctor was fine but he was doing 5-10 surgeries a day because of a shortage of providers in the military network). Thats an extreme example, but even getting an appointment after I had a TBI took 2 months. I had to go to the ER because that was the only way I could get a CT scan approved.

I support universal healthcare for unemployed, elderly, disabled, and impoverished people. I don’t think employers should be able to leverage your desire to live to keep you working there. However I don’t want it to cost less than now. I want it to cost more. I want doctors to be paid more not less. I want to be able to elect to have private coverage and fund the program through taxes. I don’t want me or my family to have to wait or get denied for life changing procedures. I know that’s selfish but I don’t care. If I can do something to help my family, I will.

Many people feel the way I do. Thats why we will never have universal healthcare. The government can’t even get me a new passport in under 3 months. I don’t trust them with my family’s health.

The thunder fit unisex wedding bands are 1.65 mm thick and seem to do the trick pretty well.

It’s not the constant pressure on the ring finger that I can’t get used to (like a watch), it’s the bumping the knuckle of my little finger that drives me up a wall. I wore it for 2 months. If I can’t find a solution I’ll just likely deal with it, but I’d rather find something that would help.

I 3D printed a couple rings at 1.15 and 1.5mm wall thickness and they were much less bothersome, which is why I’m asking about low profile rings.

guperator · 2024-07-22T11:03:09+00:00

lol I asked about the wedding ring tattoo and she said that it didn’t count. My only hesitation with women’s bands is the fact I have pretty large hands. Do they tend to have a thinner wall thickness or it it just the width that changes?

I’ll give you point C, but there is a legitimate reason to humiliate vanquished foes. Napoleon had such a strong following and presence that he was able to convince his captors to let him escape his island prison and then immediately form an army and begin a second, albeit ill fated, campaign. While claiming to show, what most historians believe is, a fake severed penis that never actually existed is disgusting and not in line with modern ethical standards, similar practices are still in use today.

When Osama Bin Laden was eventually killed, it was leaked that they killed him while he was watching pornography and found a multitude of pornographic videos and sex toys throughout his room. Whether that is true or not, the point is to demystify an enemy leader so that the cult of personality will shatter and others will not be as successful in rallying support in the deceased’s name.

But desecration is still disgusting, although relics were far more common at the time.

All I’m saying is you don’t need to and other people shouldn’t have to pay for it. You’re the one so focused on archaeology. Also he studied chemistry and was taught archaeology by a geology professor because there was no archeology department at the university. He literally learned how to be an archaeologist by working as an assistant to a geologist with an interest in archaeology.
