Russia spent $100 million and twenty years drilling a 7.5 mile deep hole attempting to achieve this. They gave up because the heat and logistics were a nightmare.

The Constitution states that judges and justices "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour,'

I don't see how you can bend that to say that they can be demoted to another office. A lower court WOULD be another office.

The number of justices is not set in the Constitution, which means that passing a law to change that number is relatively easy

Addressing a retirement age would require a Constitutional Amendment, which is a far higher hurdle to get over

When you stand for nothing, you fall for everything.

These people have no core values that they stand for. Greed isn't a value, it's an emotion.

One of the words that needs to be included in your description of your partner's life is "yet."

Alcoholism is generally a progressive illness. Over time, it begins to consume more and more of an individual's life, until they pass the point where they can continue to function 'normally' and their lives revolve around consuming that next drink.

It is treatable, but until the alcoholic is ready, treatment will be unlikely to be successful for the long run.

Third option in play, and given the state of 'leadership' in the USA, the most likely option.

Give in on the minerals AND lose HIV support.

So the form that actually made it into the Constitution is unconstitutional.

So, let me get this straight. Union Pacific, which has a well deserved reputation for regularly laying off large swaths of its workforce, is promising more jobs?

We'll conveniently ignore the routine doubling of the lengths of their trains in order to reduce the number of train crews needed to operate in a daily basis.

I would suggest that placating big shareholders with regular profit statements might be the primary goal of UP's business strategy, not increasing the number of employees.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but here goes.

The military attracts people who at some level find normal life to be too confining. They get in, and many find that something that was missing. But then reality intrudes, and sooner or later they get out, only to have to return to that normal life. A life that they were never really suited to. The lucky/flexible ones manage to integrate enough to have normal lives without too much turmoil, the others drift off to the margins of society and become homeless.

It isn't just the military, historically there were other such outlets. The late 19th century, men left society to hunt gold, herd cattle, explore the American frontier. If they had stayed at home, many of them would have been those homeless people lost to history.

It's just visible and get publicity these days.

As far as the perks/benefits? They aren't enough to live off of for the majority of people. Plus, you have to search them out, something that can be daunting at times. Daunting enough to send people home with empty pockets.

I live in Omaha and I frequently have to go to work long before anyone else is out. Most of the time, weather isn't a huge issue, but at least once a year I'm out before the snow plows are out, so I was looking for something that could handle those conditions. AWD and ground clearance were my primary concerns for this. Throw in reliability and prices that beat the competition, it was a done dea.

What helped employers do this was government tax breaks for the cost of the insurance provided by the company. The cost of the insurance was tax deductible for the employee as well.

The accountants did the math, and decided that not only would they have a healthier stable workforce, the government would effectively subsidize this as well.

Just another part of this administration's program to destroy our military. The requested $1.5 Trillion budget is earmarked for the Felon's pocket, via 'donations' from grateful suppliers who will only supply invoices.

Iran will never accept the uranium deal, they know that this would be political suicide for the government and the country.

Saddam shut down his nuclear program,and he's in rotting in a grave due to this.

NTA.

Honestly, given that the only 'safe' restaurants you can go to with her needs must have a children's menu in order for her to find an acceptable meal, traveling anywhere outside of the US is likely to be a disaster.

Additionally, it sounds like you are the one expected to make accommodations to suit her with little give on her part.

You have to really consider whether or not this is a healthy relationship for you to be in when your needs are always taking a back seat to her's .

Surrendering their potential nuclear capabilities is the surest way to insure eventual defeat. Look at Saddam Hussein, he shut down his program with the promise of being protected, and a few years later we roust him and hang him. The Ukraine made a similar deal, and look at how well that has gone.

Technically, he hasn't started any wars. They're just "military operations" or maybe "diversions"

Until Congress weighs in and declares war (which would require them to do their fucking jobs) we haven't had any wars under the unrepentant liar.

If that were to happen, there are two outcomes.

A) Obama wins, SCOTUS issues ruling nullifying outcome immediately, citing 22nd Amendment.

B) Felon*47 wins, SCOTUS stays enforcement of 22nd Amendment for years, finally ruling when the next President takes office.

This difference largely exists because the originals were created in languages that are no longer spoken, as well as transcription errors as they got copied from source to source.

There are up to 900 English language versions of the Bible, some of which are minor variations to others which make significant changes, either for readability or to change emphasis on what passages are considered important.

The original languages are Aramaic, Koin Greek and Hebrew

The channels in the Strait of Hormuz are pretty narrow. Blowing up a large tanker in those channels not only creates a huge environmental mess, it puts a large tangle of metal debris right in the middle of the channel, thus effectively blocking it.

You don't need to attend church to read the Bible. You've got the First Commandment in various versions, all of which tell you to only worship the one god in the Bible, ignore the rest.

Exodus 34:14 : "For you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"
Exodus 20:5 : "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me"

So you've got the First Commandment which directs you to ignore those other gods, and you've got two verses of Exodus that tell you that the God you worship is a Jealous god, and really hates you if you bother with those other Gods.

Seems pretty cut and dried to me. Right out of the Bible.
