They are typically a heavily biased source.
I'm glad Wilson is starting to get the hate he deserves for his blatant racism and less people retort "but his foreign policy!"
The teeth of those keys are actually probably more interesting than the mechanisms of the firearms here. Such fine work for the period.

How are Mexicans Restaurants Europe?
I realize this is a broad question, but I'd be interested in personal anecdotes. Are they even common? (Obviously varies by county and region)
Not to be confused with the Siege of Yorktown (1781)
I'll caveat that not all changes are 'good' changes too. The future generations might not value the things we hold dear, like the jury trial. One day maybe they'll sadly see that as us wasting ordinary people's time.
People in the future are not automatically our betters, but our equals, (hopefully) armed with the knowledge of our failings and armed with that of our successes.
Yeah I'd argue it's probably prudent for judges not to invest in individual companies either. As those companies might have cases before them.
Gen Z reporting in. Above comment's point was not to generalize an entire demographic as 'doing good'. & it was a good one. Don't assume that of us either.
Judging entire groups of people as a monolith is always bad. I'll add 'good' is subjective of an individual's values. Expect future generations to mock us for what we believe acceptable.

I think their gripes are probably about more than the sausage. Having never once stepped foot in a Cracker Barrel, I assume this is part of wider backlash at trying to follow industry trends.
I don't think for the court it was an issue of making wise policy choices but of who had what authority, and what did the law say about it. The court simply didn't have anything enabling them to delegate their powers in the Chevron case.
The separation of powers is core to the structure of our government, delegating powers onto other branches nullifies that. Hence the non delegation doctrine. Perhaps it [Chevron] may be good policy but it simply isn't how our government is structured.
I mean that power was there since article 3 got drafted, and reaffirmed by the text of the APA.
The issue is the legislature not being able to pass laws due to the filibuster. This has lead to agencies being forced to take up their own interpretations to adapt language beyond it's original meaning to attempt to complete their goals, like w/ the Loper Bright case.
Because that's where the money is. - Willie Sutton (Bank Robber)
They want to get their message out and a lot of people still use Twitter.
The Loper Bright ruling was that when taken on appeal that the courts no longer have to accept a reasonable agency interpretation over a reasonable (or more reasonable) interpretation by the other party.
And the rulings isn't just for the EPA but all other federal agencies like the IRS, ICE, and the FDA. This bill is a double edged sword depending on who has the executive seat.
Tldr if it's in the constitution that the feds can do it, feds get to do it. If not states rights.
There also a few clauses like the interstate commerce clause which got reinterpreted when FDR had appointed most of the justices to have expansive definitions giving the feds more authority.
Haven't played '06 but the '17 had the best first hour of any game I've played.
They are completely unrelated. They just had a really cool name they didn't want to lose.
Webster offers a lay definition not a legal definition. Often in law words are interpreted to have meanings different than they normally would. For example a company would be considered to be a person for the purposes of a law saying "No person shall dump oil in the river".
Dog bites man vs man bites dog.
You don't need permission for true parody but changing the lyrics (unless you do so to comment on the original work or author) isn't that.
Take Amish Paradise. It commented a bunch on the Amish. But it didn't say anything about Coolio or Coolio's work.
The issue is there is not clear commentary on either Cash or the Barbie song. Perhaps it's meant to be contextually interpreted in a specific situation to act as commentary on something else, where it might be satire. And the fact that the two melded together offers a funny juxtaposition isn't necessary commentary.
What does the author think of Johnny Cash or the Barbie song? What does he mean when he has the Beach Boys sing 99 Problems? The Red Hot Chili Peppers video from 10 months ago probably would get parody status. Because what they sound like to people who don't like them is actually commentary on the band. But so many of his works we can ask what should society walk away with from "Hank Williams sings Straight Outta Compton"? There simply is no message or commentary in most of these.
While a parody targets and mimics the original work to make a point, a satire uses the original work to criticize something else entirely.
If anything granting it satire status is generous.

This .38 caliber glove was designed by Stanley M. Haight and manufactured by Sedgley Co. of Philadelphia. 52-200 copies of this single shot break barrel smooth bore design.
>It was meant as a covert operation and assassination weapon in the Pacific Theater. It was mounted on the back of a cowhide glove; a long-sleeved coat would usually be worn to hide the weapon.
The Notre Dame of Rouen Cathedral is undergoing renovations and thick smoke was seen rising from the spire, which is partially covered in scaffolding.

> The post-apocalyptic survival horror Metro series – based on the best-selling sci-fi novel series of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky – plunged players into an oppressively dark and dank underground network and the ruins beyond. > > Highly immersive and critically acclaimed, the franchise has spawned three games to date. Before year’s end, that count will reach four. Announced at State of Play this past January, Vertigo Games – creator of Arizona Sunshine and After The Fall – revealed it has spent the last few years working on an all-new game built for PS VR2. Metro Awakening is a standalone story set prior to the events of the original title – Metro 2033. I sat down with Creative Director Martin de Ronde and Game Director Samar Louwe to discuss more about how this world has been adapted to VR and how they’re keeping the title authentic to the series.

>Today we are taking a look at the backstory of the famously recognizable Krummlauf device, the curved barrel attachment for the StG-44. It is really a perfect example of how German late-war desperation weapons took shape. It went from an idea nobody actually wanted to an impossible development program in the chaos of the German defeat.

Trump v. US Decision Dropped
>Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.
>The President enjoys no im- munity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law.
How Would You Spec a Framework 13 for an Educational Use Case?
Currently looking at a DIY AMD 7640U, 1x16GB RAM, 250GB storage, 1 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 1 HDMI.
My use case will mostly entail note taking in class. I've got a built PC at home.
But I'm not a hardware guy, would I be better served w/ different CPU or RAM set up in your opinions? I've mostly picked bottom tier specs but is there anything in your opinions that is worth splurging on, all things considered?
