Older pickups had a bench seat so could seat 3. Then there are the crew cabs who can seat 6.

Only if they get into a salt water flood.

Yeah. You should move past that.

Easy access to firearms.

This is a BS statement. Firearms have ALWAYS been easy to get in the U.S. It used be even easier than it is now. Yet it’s NOW that we have this increase in the suicide rate. Maybe try looking at reasons for suicide such as the the divisions in this country rather than just blaming a tool.

Men are more likely to use a gun for suicide, as they have always been, for the same reason they go to a store with something in mind to buy, buy that something then walk out. Men focus on the goal so they obviously go for the most effective method of achieving the goal.

As someone who raised hamsters, I can tell you that the hamster does not go through the cedar shaving unless the hamster wants to. Of course, I always made sure they had a couple inch layer of shavings. Sometimes, the hamster would push them aside because they liked the cool metal floor but that was their choice. On the other hand, they are also free to pile the shavings up even deeper and just cover themselves. You act like they have no choice in the matter.

Wildcats (tigers, lions, bobcats, etc) will take down a prey animal. We think they just eat the muscle. In reality, they often go for the stomach of the herbivore they just brought down to get the vegetable matter there. Then they eat other internal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys) so they aren’t just eating muscle.

For our pets, well, we all know they don’t eat the same thing every day. Firstly, the the thing they do eat every day, pet food, has various nutrients included so it’s a balanced meal for them. Secondly, we give them treats which may or may not be beneficial.

As for we humans wanting variety, it’s exactly that. We want but don’t need as much variety as we get. We enjoy the different flavors even if the items containing those flavors aren’t exactly good for us (twinkies, 8 year scotch, etc). Our pets and wild carnivores don’t get the opportunity to try these other flavors (well, our pets get some opportunity but not to the extent we have granted ourselves).

But that’s the point. Congress CANNOT cede authority without amending the constitution. Any ‘law’ they make doing so is invalid because it violates the constitution. A LAW CANNOT OVERRIDE THE CONSTITUTION.

I think it’s kind of Legal?

Here’s the thing. The constitution says CONGRESS levies taxes, not the president. Any law CONGRESS passes must be IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. Making a law that abrogates any part the constitution is not IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. The only way to do that is TO AMEND the constitution.

So, no. It’s not kind of legal.

and any judge worth the air it would take make such a statement should FUCKING KNOW THAT!

Harks back to the Viet Nam war. We had to destroy the village to save the village. I believe this is the one where the Pulitzer prize winning photo of the naked little girl running with massive burns from napalm happened.

There are still some dark purple bananas out there. They are usually less than 1/2 the size of a normal (cavendish?) banana. They don’t taste as good to me but many people love them.

In answer to your question: yes. Humid cold pure air. By pure, I mean no contaminates until the hyrdrocarbons from the jet fuel are emitted into that pure, moist air. To form a droplet, a nucleus is needed. The hydrocarbons of the jet engine exhaust provide that nuclueus.

Hmm. America (any part of it, North America, South America) didn’t become part of this until a little more than 500 years ago at the earliest. Not THOUSANDS of years. Then, it was Catholics who spread the western ‘civilization’ to the Americas, yet the United States hates Catholicism and says the protestant King James Bible is the true word of a non-existent god. The nation that is not supposed to push any religion only pushes protestant christian religion denying the THOUSANDS of years of Catholicism.

Lead gives you brain damage. Rock laughs.

No. Not the easily fragmented feldspar. Nice solid granite.

Oh, no no no. There are many things proven to kill you. Curare, arsenic, botulism, too much salt, not enough salt, too much water, not enough water, and on and on and on and on …

Well, it’s impossible to ban natural clouds but planes could avoid making contrails by just not flying in the zone where their exhaust would cause them. Source: I was a weatherman in the Air Force and would tell military pilots where to fly to not have a shiny line pointing to their exact location if such information could be a concern.

I never thought it about as a green house thing before though I do remember reading an article many years ago that contrails do contribute when they spread out into cirrostratus clouds.

I was a meteorologist in the Air Force and did make forecasts telling pilots at what levels to fly to avoid making contrails since having a long silver line pointing to your exact location makes sneak attacks a little difficult. Perhaps commercial airlines should make use of that information. It’s usually just a few thousand foot difference. Fly a little higher or lower and problem solved.

It looks like the cage has cedar chips on the bottom which is softer than the packed dirt this creature would sleep on in the wild.
