Are you armed? You don't have to reveal political affiliation to go to a gun range and learn how to shoot and basic gun safety.

This isn't even close to the other, actual stochastic terrorism they've done before.

If they were going to get charged for it, it shouldn't be this one.

Now, whoever runs the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire account, that feels like an actual crime.

The cat thing should disqualify him as president because he's blatantly lying. But it's not a crime.

I don't know that Ukraine could have done this well in 2014, even with help. They had 8 years to prepare for the next round that they knew was coming.

No, it really doesn't. I expect Obama, W, and Biden were all kind people.

Either way, it certainly wasn't a Democratic administration pushing for them to be unbanned.

All you need is one instance to actually verify its users.

https://nytimes.social seems like a good one. Maybe they should start that.

I feel betrayed that a democrat administration pushed to repeal that ban.

I guess you can feel a little less betrayed.

Today, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 under its conservative supermajority that a bump stock attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun, which is prohibited under federal law. Under this decision, civilians now have access to bump stocks again.

And the only reason he can be retried is that not all jurors agreed. Had they just refused to enforce the law, then they walk free forever (at least from that crime).

Well, yes. But I meant for medical purposes, not judicial.

They evacuated schools today, by the way. Bomb threats. Parents had to pick up their kids at a different school.

I'm probably doing solar in spring, and I'm paying 20 cents per kwh. It's about a 13 year breakeven time, but that works for my circumstances. I plan to be here for awhile, my roof faces the right way, and it's a reasonable diversification of investment.

I'll still have some dependence on the grid, especially in winter. Might pull from the grid in some early morning hours, but net metering credits should pay for that.

I consider the rising price of electricity and the capital gains from an index funds roughly a wash. It's not, but I also don't want 100% of my investments in the stock market, and it's nice to do something responsible for the world.

So make sure to do your whole installation in one year. You only get to claim the 30% federal tax credit once. So don't go small with a plan to go bigger later. I couldn't do this without the federal credit.
