Well the sugar thing is about destroying the engine. Turns out it mostly sits in the tank because it's so heavy, but small amounts will trickle through the pump/filter/lines and actually burns. You can even smell it. Water will sink below the gasoline, and obviously when it gets to the engine it won't burn. But aside from rust if it sits long enough, I don't think it would destroy anything. Caveat: I'm assuming the amount of water injected is not sufficient to cause hydro-lock, which WILL destroy things. But I think that takes a lot more water than a few shots from the fuel injectors or what gets fed through the carb prior to the engine stalling.

Sugar will probably end up too diffuse to gunk anything up.

What you want is bleach, which will cause everything to rust insanely fast including the tank and especially the fuel rails :ocelot:

I'm not sure if there will be a shutdown again because nobody has the appetite for it, not even the hard righties. They're absolutely stuck in negotiations (a final wall number and detention beds), but it's more trending to an emergency declaration and moving on.

Basically, Democrats know the leverage they have and are demanding a cap on detained illegal immigrants, hoping to force Trump into not detaining/deporting people for every goddamn little thing like he's been doing.

Idk about what the quality of life offenses are but prosecuting child support non-payment and drunk driving as felonies isn't going to make you many enemies, at least not a lot of compelling ones.

Quality of life stuff is all the “broken windows” crap that doesn’t work and everyone should’ve known better by 1999-2007. Child support nonpayment being a felony that results in prison time is non productive because it removes any means to pay that child support.

Cracking down on drunk driving makes sense because Wisconsin is right next door and seemed to think that it’s about as bad as jaywalking

Oh I don't disagree about the child support - garnishments and diligent pursuit of unreported income, with state funding payments to the payee and collecting in arrears from the payer are way better. It's just that "people who don't pay child support" are not terribly compelling victims.

Broken window policing is basically a systemic war on civil rights, so she can gently caress right off unless it was limited to traffic stops for unsignaled lane changes and people staying in the passing lane.

I’m good with your second offense being a felony on DUI. You obviously can’t be trusted in society to not drive a giant death machine impaired.
As for the child support lol lock those fuckers up. My “father” never payed a dime and just started new families and worked under the table. My cousins “father” stopped working and became a drug dealer/pimp so he wouldn’t have to pay child support. Both were physically abusive assholes who managed to slip out of domestic abuse charges. Simple nonpayment and go to prison would be so much better to get rid of the true shitstains.

I mean in both cases the deadbeat fathers would be busted for various other crimes too, throwing them in prison for crimes with avoiding child support responsibility as an aggravating factor should be (is?) the norm, and assets seized/liquidated to fund payments. If the government can seize all Manafort's poo poo for tax crimes and FARA violations, they can do the same (maybe sans the FARA part of course) for deadbeat parents. Decoupling payments to the children from the payments from the parent is pretty important on that path though, because it takes "ability to pay" out of the question.

If they're earning unreported income to avoid paying child support that's tax evasion if not outright tax fraud and money laundering depending on how elaborate their scheme is. If they're earning it through other crimes like robbing banks and selling meth to teenagers that's more charges on the docket. You don't even have to throw people in prison for the sole fact that they're unable to pay child support, if they're otherwise able to pay but are taking unlawful action to avoid earning reportable income that can be garnished, it means they're already committing crimes that can put them in prison. The fact that they did it specifically to avoid supporting their own kid just makes them a bigger piece of poo poo on top of those other crimes.

I'm not sure what the holdup here is unless you're saying being a divorcee makes it harder to find a job in which case I would like to know what the hell kind of jobs they're looking at beyond church stuff or marrying into the British royalty.

My usual after-work beer is almost always in that 10-14% range where everything is dark and pours like syrup.
