People bones? 😳

Cheers

Agreed. A high end electric assist, full suspension MTB is 3-4 X’s that.

I knew there was a reason why I liked SIGs.

I lived in the Bay Area for a few years and Reno for about 40. The earthquakes are nowhere near the same in intensity, destruction, or even how they feel. Plus, the age and style of construction and population density is completely different as it relates to earthquake risk. The VA is in Reno...

I am of the belief that the only way we grow is by stripping away ego and emotion and having thoughtful, intelligent, and insightful conversation. Discourse should be about growth, not about who is right or wrong. The fire example could be a myth but it popped into my head. Regardless, I...

Is silence speech? What about other non-verbal actions? I’m quite glad that an Article III court has decided that I can wear a shirt that reads “Let’s Go Brandon” without fear of reprisal from the government. For that to happen though, a court had to decide that passive silence is actually a...

Pintos and Porsches are both cars, yet hardly the same thing. A JLUR is quite different than a JL…yet both are cars. An RC Car is a car. Would you really sign a contract to buy a “Jeep” with no further description of what you were buying? Of course not, you are highly intelligent and would...

True, but again, the language itself requires interpretation. The 1A does not clearly define what is or is not “speech”. So, courts are forced to interpret and apply often undefined concepts to a given set of facts. Those interpretations sometimes change over time (for good and for bad). How...

Nothing wrong with your writing or your ability to express your point. Personally, I don’t think it’s a living, breathing document that should bend with the breeze. But I also don’t think it’s as rigid as granite. In my opinion, that’s what makes it unique and has enabled it to withstand the...

I don’t necessarily disagree with any of that, but I would add that part of the brilliance of the Constitution is the fact that it has worked for so long. Part of the reason that it has, in my opinion, is because not all of its language is carved in stone in black and white terms. Much of it is...

So beautiful. High desert skies are hard to beat.

Guess I’ll buck the trend and readily admit that I don’t think the Constitution should be viewed as a document that was perfect as written, that it should never be amended under any circumstance, or that it should not be viewed (at least somewhat) through the lens of its application to what the...

I don’t think they should only have to pay 4%. This all started based on the claim (not yours) that some successful corporations pay next to nothing. I simply responded that I don’t think $16B is next to nothing…regardless of what that dollar amount is as a percentage of overall profit. And...

This is what I have a problem with: “The average income tax rate in 2021 was 14.9 percent. The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 25.9 percent average rate, nearly eight times higher than the 3.3 percent average rate paid by the bottom half of taxpayers.” I will never understand the concept of...

I understand the point, but I also consider the impact of double taxation on the same money and other government grabs. So, Apple paid $16B, every employee paid taxes on income (including bonuses), Apple paid payroll taxes, a crap ton of money was paid into Medicare, dividends were taxed, gains...

I’d support a 15% flat tax across the board, no deductions, all day long!! Personally, that would equate to a huge raise for me.

I can assure you it’s not. We are quite aware of what S1-S3’s make and I know that pay is competitive…especially with full family health benefits added in, vehicle allowance, etc. We recruit from all over the country and perform work in 42 states and 8 other countries, so we have a pretty good...

I’d love to see the actual support for that claim. Apple paid something like $16B in income taxes in 2023. I’m not sure how that is virtually nothing. I know what my company pays in taxes and it certainly isn’t a small number.

$120K is almost twice what I made my first year as a lawyer, but I get that was a hot minute ago. It’s a damn good wage for someone with no education and a few years of experience, especially if you are single. And if you are willing to travel, the subsistence rates are pretty crazy (last I...
