There's lots of state + national forest land in the Northeast where that's legal. I've done it many times in PA/NY/VT/NH/ME. There are probably some options in the other more developed states too, but I do

Correct, they did. And as someone who went to school ~20 years ago - the requirement the prior poster mentions was either not a thing or not enforced if the student was doing fine academically. Pretty much no one raised an eyebrow about thi

There is a possible "good behavior" reduction, but the maximum of that works out to around 15% off the sentence. He'll serve at least 21 of those years or so.

Yes, but being infected with one strain isn't the same as being infected with all of them in terms of the risks. You are unlikely to have all the strains known to cause problems already. ------- Additionally (something I only became

They are the 6th and 7th largest airlines in the country. They are small only relative to the 4 largest. The best argument I see for allowing the merger is that Spirit has been consistently losing money since the pandemic and may no longer

Long-duration archives can be used against the company in a lawsuit - whoever's suing you would love to get decades of material to look through to help make their case. As such, it's a large liability, and most companies retain
