I never thought concealed was covered anyways. I'm really okay with licensing for it.
I can't get behind "may carry" states. At all.
At issue was California's law on concealed weapons, which requires citizens to prove they have "good cause" to carry concealed firearms to get a license. Plaintiffs challenged guidelines in San Diego and Yolo counties that did not consider general self-defense to be enough to obtain a license.

Now, this is concealed that I believe should be up to states to restrict however they want. I think open carry should be protected under the 2nd.

I really don't want to have to walk around like it's the wild west or at sling arms just to have a firearm on my person. You shouldn't have to justify why you deserve to have the right to carry a gun. They should have to prove you should have your rights denied, which is what a background check is for.

Hi!
Thank you for applying to serve on the Tin Roof Brewing Company tasting panel to help select an officially-licensed LSU beer. We were absolutely over the moon with how many responses we received.
Since we have a limited amount of test batch beers to sample out, we could only choose 5% of all the applicants via lottery.
The bad news is that you weren't selected.
The good news is that we want to express our appreciation for your application and willingness to help us out. So we're going to host a private party in late August for all the applicants who weren't chosen for the panel, and you will be invited to try the LSU beer before the public does. Pretty cool consolation prize, right?
Thanks for being a supporter of Tin Roof Brewing Company and our LSU beer. We'll be back in touch with you again later this summer.
Geaux Local! Geaux Tigers!
Cheers!

Like I said, I think it's pretty reasonable for them to know about Florida and its alligators. They made a very idiotic mistake and will indeed have to live with it for the rest of their lives. Wishing that kind of pain on someone seems particularly cruel in its own right to me, however.

It depends on exactly where the child went in and where the family was, but where Disney may run in to a bit of liability is that it appears from an article and pictures is that it was a sandy "beach type" (my words) area that led directly up to the lagoon. Just because a zoo puts a bench in an area with tigers that isn't closed off to the public and puts a sign that says don't sit here does not absolve said zoo of any responsibility. Know what'm sayin.
Taernath

Disney will offer a generous compensation, they're not going to fight this in court. Whether the family accepts that or decides now is their time to go double or nothing remains to be seen.

This. I think too many people (especially idiot tourists) see the signs as a cover-your-ass thing rather than legit warnings. News flash for the retards of the world... gators are real, wild animals. They live in the water whether that body of water is a swamp in the middle of nowhere or a pond fifteen feet away from a home or homes. You should be wary walking along the edge of these waters, especially if you've got a bite-sized child or animal with you.

... and hit for 73 points of damage!
Strike to wrist severs right hand quite neatly!
The Vvrael warlock screams in agony as his right hand falls to the ground! A viscous black liquid sprays out from the open wound, covering you with caustic acid!
... 25 points of damage!
Acid burns a hole in the neck causing a fatal fluid leak!
You feel the unnatural surge of necrotic power wane away.
Your heightened attunement to the flows of mana begins to fade.
Your heightened awareness of your own defensive weaknesses fades away.
The faint blue glow fades from around your hands.
RANK 8 RIGHT HAND PUNCTURE: Damage: 18 Status Effect: Stunned 5 Rounds, AMPUTATE Wounds: Rank 3
The shimmering aura fades from around you.
--- Lich: iSigils has exited.
RANK 8 NECK, ACID, Damage: 35 Status Effect: FATAL, Wounds: Rank 3
Your heightened awareness of your foes fades away.
Your mind and body begin to relax after that period of intense focus.
The pleasantly warm sensation fades as your heartbeat begins to return to normal.
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

60+ (?) dead in Nice, France.. Story developing.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/14/truck-crashes-bastille-day-crowd-nice-france/
France (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/france/)’s national holiday turned bloody and violent Thursday night in the southern city of Nice, as a truck crashed into a crowd of Bastille Day (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/bastille-day/) revelers and gunmen attacked several tourist haunts throughout the city, resulting in dozens of deaths.
“Dear people of Nice, the driver of a truck appears to have caused tens of deaths. Stay for the moment in your home. More info to come,” former Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said, according to a Washington Times translation of his tweet (https://twitter.com/cestrosi/status/753702069220114432).
Wassim Bouhlel told the Associated Press in Nice that he saw a truck barrel into the crowd before the driver exited wielding a gun and firing at random.

It's not, really. Especially that area. Central/Northern Maine is really really rural. Portland and Southern Maine, while still very nice, are more of the "city" type environments. There were some issues with bath salts back when I was there (In Bangor), but I couldn't say whether or not there was a bigger hype there than there was anywhere else at the time.

- Family was home all day, FedEx said they left it at the door, family says they never got it.
- Called to complain/ask for refund, was told they 'can't do anything until their invoice arrives next week'.
Their refund policy has a clause that they don't have to do anything if a complaint isn't filed within 15 days. Are they trying to run out the clock? Total reimbursement would be ~$1000.

Their refund policy has a clause that they don't have to do anything if a complaint isn't filed within 15 days. Are they trying to run out the clock? Total reimbursement would be ~$1000.
I'd constantly slam them with angry calls and also send your story to consumerist.com and make a BBB complaint.

Had to send something overnight via FedEx to some family over the weekend.
- I sent it Thursday with the expectation it would arrive Friday. It stayed in the shipping facility until Monday.

If they keep giving you the run around I'd go to a physical FedEx store/location if you can and raise a stink there.

No.. I was paying like $70 a quarter for 150 meg website with 5 email addresses.. which was a decent price 10 years ago when I signed up for the service... now I'm paying $8 a month for 1 TB

Yea.. I think it will be fine... it's only for a couple weeks and it's not like we don't have the room. Out of town guests tend to get annoying after a week though.. hopefully this won't be like that.

Vizio bought by the Chinese. From what i've read they already did most of their assembly in Asia anyway (who doesnt?), but it was neat that it was considered an American TV-electronics brand that was actually worth a damn.

Hehe. Yeah. I'm not personally a fan of any of their hardware, but it's all suuuper Chinese/Mongolian/Taiwanese. They didn't just outsource. They flat out bought factories so they could control the flow of information in and out of them so their patents didn't get leaked.

There are different ones. Toshiba bought Westinghouse Electric Company, which is related to nuclear energy.
Westinghouse Digital is still owned an operated in the US, they're involved in TVs/Computer monitors.

Yep. They don't make anything in America anymore though. They're an importer, like everybody else. That's not to say that US manufacturing is gone though. US Manufacturing has steadily risen. We just build things like Supercomputers and Jumbo Jets and Oh god just all the fucking weapons. We let China and Taiwan and Korea and Vietnam and the UAE and India build all the consumer stuff because we're busy doing more profitable things that require an educated workforce.

Yeah, people always talk about getting the same amount of TV for less money, but that never seems to be how things work out in the end. I love my Mitsubishi DLP, but as those are no longer produced I'll be getting a Samsung once the old one finally dies.

I have a 36" or 38" Samsung that I got before my 56" Vizio.. and I would much rather watch the Samsung. It's a far better picture.

I hear that regularly. They're supposed to be great for gaming as well. I just can't justify dropping thousands of dollars on a new television while the old one still works.
I just want it to break, but DLPs are so easily repairable!

While I was waiting at Wendy's today for lunch for myself and my son, some teenager came up and asked for $10 while he was playing the new Pokemon game (at least I think that what it was) on his phone.
I should make a list of the things wrong with this situation.
Did you tell him you found a weapon in OTF and were looking for the owner? That'd shut him up. I had one do that saying they broke and just needed $5 to get gas and get home. I told them no, but then they proceeded to get about $30 from other people as they went around the station with the same story.

Totally agree with this. Best thing you can do is go on CNET and look at their reviews, and buy a good quality TV. The cheap ones are just that, cheap.

They removed the really bad ones like the Holocaust and 9/11 memorial last week.
It's gonna suck if more people start requesting stops get removed, because there were only 3 within viewing distance (1 of which I would hit up when walking my dogs) but now there are 0. There's a gym, but it's staffed 24/7 by 3000 CP Vaporeons.

We had some Pokemon Go douchebag get tazed by the cops a week or so ago.. because he had the right to find Pokemon's after the park closed. I laughed when his mother was being interviewed and she was crying. I knew right there why the douche felt he didn't have to follow the law.
As long as they aren't bothering anyone or breaking the law.. I don't have a problem with some of these nerds getting outside and seeing the sun. Vitamin D is good for them.
