Ah, but here you assume that the FCC is acting in good faith. Assume no good faith, and follow the same trail.

I understand and appreciate that perspective. I usually want the government to leave me alone, but if they won't, I want the most principled people duking it out. It sounds like we both value principles in office, maybe not to the excl

Oh, I see. I agree that these are people who deeply embody the Democratic ethos, and Bernie is one of the poorer members of the Senate. I seriously dislike Fetterman's "working class" act, though. However, considering that th

I actually disagree with him on plenty, but he consistently doesn't play the game and votes on principle, hence why he's widely hated.

You're being incredibly optimistic. Show me a non-greedy person in Congress, with the exception of Thomas Massie, and I'll believe you that change is possible.

It sounds like they decided to compete for a contract that was otherwise designed to just give money to traditional telecoms for doing nothing.

I love how the cost of directional drilling is completely discounted here. It's an expensive process that requires a ton of skilled (often union) labor.

You're replying to an accurate comment about how government funding works. I am educated on this, I have worked off of government grant money often, it's 100% who you know, not what you do.

Your point about Roe v Wade is precisely my point. The right to abortion is simply not in the Constitution. If Congress wants to pass that law, they may, and that would be legal according to the Supreme Court. Any honest legal scholar will

This is 100% true, but I prefer old money corrupt to new money corrupt. Old money is interested in stability, new money is... not.

1. Farm tags exist, but only in some counties. Destinations can be church, groceries, or farm purposes. 2. False. On your own land (or land owned by family), you just need to follow season and report harvest. Check TWRA site. 3. 2k sqft a

Ablation will still happen, but the tiles aren't designed to ablate as the primary method of heat dissipation.

Yeah, mine is owned by the state instead, dirt cheap. I can do more things with fewer restrictions, I have more freedom. Anyway, I have to put together the gun I 3d printed, take my completely unregistered truck to church, then maybe go hun

Compared to us, absolutely.

No, I compared when I moved from a blue state, chose here because it's much more conservative. Texas is almost a swing state at this point. I'm friends with our former lieutenant governor, and I can assure you that it's not a

That's a fair bit of rhetoric, but we're pretty much a single-party state. New York is about as hard blue as we are hard red, and they despise their citizens. At least here I have more freedom and less taxes.

Tennessee is a wonderful place, and I'd recommend it. Keep in mind that it's a brutally conservative place, and the typical Californian will likely be uncomfortable outside of Nashville. The people are lovely, just a note.

Hey now, selling guns is amazingly nonprofitable. I only sell guns for good feels.

Pretty much, yeah. Went from dial-up to better than I've ever had in my life.

Also in TN, my fiber is bundled with my electric and is absurdly good. TN has good infra, it's nice to feel the benefits.

I mean that without IP laws, a whole lot of things become a lot harder to bully smaller companies with.

That's not quite correct. You need a binary blob that's generated by some kernel level stuff I don't fully understand.

The current Supreme Court is primarily concerned with constitutionality and clearing "legal debt" (decisions outside the scope of the Court as chartered) from previous courts. I would be surprised if they take this one up.

That's the closest thing to hard data we have. The only difference would be if there's some difference in tendencies between iOS and Android users to use the web versus an app.

Because Republicans are trying to curry favor with everyone. Hard-liners like myself believe that abortion at any stage is morally equivalent to homicide—only acceptable if the life of the mother is also at risk. The 6 week ban doesn't

The case can be used as precedent, though.

Just to defend the libertarians briefly, no legal bullying tactics means trusts have a significantly harder time forming and maintaining their monopolies.

Never seen a thinkpad, I see. I still use an x61t that's in perfect condition.
