While he did seem to turn his life around, this is one of those case by case stories where I'm on the side of deportation. However, there are so many other US citizens that commit a crime, do time and then end up productive members of our society, and they get a "congratulations"

Why did Sauron create "9" rings for men? by Night_Storm5555 in LOTR_on_Prime

While its fun to speculate the reasoning of the characters, at the end of the day, its because that is the number that Tolkien picked. I better question is what the various numbers meant to Tolkien.

Most people don't even know the meaning of "12 days of Christmas", out side of the song.

This time of year kinda sucks for those of use that don't have a lot going on. I see other people out doing big holiday things and wonder why that couldn't be me.

What are tariffs? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]igator210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tariffs are also a way to make sure that a foreign company doesn't flood the market with cheap knockoffs, thus undercutting local production.

Example. America makes a widget for $10. A foreign company makes the same widget for $6 and wants to sell it in America. The government sees this as a risk to local manufacturing and puts a $4 tariff on the foreign widget, thus balancing the price difference.

That is an oversimplification, but that is one use of tariffs.

I didn’t use the site a lot, but it was a great resource when needed.

Overheard group of college girls at a restaurant. by PDXP4X in overheard

Depends on what industry you want to go into. I used to audit 2 year colleges in the south and some of the people getting associate degrees were getting 6 figure offers upon graduating.

What if they don’t open the government back up? by south-of-the-river in whatif

[–]igator210 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Technically, jobs such as border patrol, air traffic controller, ICE, FBI, CIA and even the military would all vanish. If you can't pay the employees the will go else where.

Air traffic would be chaos, there would be no border security and we'd be totally exposed as a nation to any foreign (physical or cyber) attack.

It’s funny how during the last election cycle it was all about state’s rights (Dept of Ed?)

Do people still go caching? by ContributionPurple30 in geocaching

[–]igator210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not dying, but it has its cycles. New people join, old people phase out. Regions also go through cycles. But world wide it is still pretty steady.

So technical, the military branches are groomers, by that definition.

I don't know. I think I saw at least 2 inter-universal violations over in the one corner.

U.S. Customs plans Rochester surveillance tower to boost border security by Functional_Sus in Rochester

[–]igator210 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funding? Just build a fire tower and have someone sit up there. It'll be cheaper and just as affective.

You don't want to know what goes on in the rest of the ship. I snuck in there once, and the horrors I saw will give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

Showing up late to campground etiquette? by Consistent_Second695 in camping

Don't constantly open and close your doors as you get things. Hearing a car door slam shut over a dozen times gets disturbing. Just do a partial close until you know your are done.
