You're never going to get parity. But for something like a battery, or a device to manufacture rocket fuel on, say, Mars, you don't really need to. You just have to top the threshold where it becomes viable for a certain weight.

Free speech!

That's not an answer.

Yelling "fire" is pretty objective...it's a y/n situation; it's also an action that has directly led to injury and death. Try to apply it to speech in general. Because these rallies don't meet that standard...if they did, these guys could already be charged with inciting violence, etc.

So, rewrite the amendment.

^My problem isn't that I think their ideology deserves a place at the big boy table, it's that I don't see a way to prohibit that kind of speech (absent accompanying violence or directly inciting violence which IS illegal), without opening a huge can of worms that allows whoever is in power to determine what is and is not ok. That's precisely why the First Amendment was written the way it is. If there's a way to do it, I'm listening. But I don't think there is.

Buckle up for the financial system to take an astonishingly huge poo poo soon, it turns out the LIBOR, commonly used as the base interest rate for mortgages, credit cards and other loans the world over not only was being manipulated but the thing it was supposed to measure even when working properly doesn't exist.

As many as 60% of outstanding loan contracts worldwide could be subject to renegotiation or litigation if that specified benchmark ceases to exist.

Dicking around with some google result payment calculators, paying an extra $700 on a 150k loan (basically double the payment) cuts the mortgage by over 16 years. Even $100/mo extra knocked several years off.

Get it while you can, there are very few surplus stocks left in the world. The US surplus ran out over a decade ago, what you're seeing right now is one of the batches of rifles returned by non-US countries. They dry up for a couple of years, then a few hundred show up and sell out again. I think we're seeing one of the last batches. When they're gone, you're down to hoping you luck out with a good one on gunbroker.
