I can't imagine the infrastructure costs more than mine does. there are 3 pumping stations (and 1000' of elevation) in the mile between me and the main road just to get it up the mountain.

It seems very strange that water in the literal desert is cheaper than it is in TN. Now, I have septic, and always have, so that's a water only rate, but still.

Damn, that's a lot, my commercial water out here in the desert isn't that expensive. We have the well now, so I don't use much from the commercial, but I do have a little bit of irrigation hooked up just to keep thinks moving So I know it's a viable backup. If my well pump dies or something...

The trick is that *everyone* is trying to hedge their risk against the dollar, because of the $38T debt. Washington is incapable of fixing that debt, or even talking about what it takes to fix it. Musk proved that. Once the first of the big players think they have insulated themselves enough...

Even the most iconic first ladies. Nancy Reagan, Jackie O, etc... But, to be fair, if you are a famous woman, it's likely your husband might just be known as "Cindy Crawford's husband", even if you're worth $400M on your own.

Happens fairy often out here. Things are often delivered to the wrong mailbox, and most people will drop it back in the outgoing when they see they got the wrong package or letter. So you'll get a delivery notification, but the box is empty, then it shows up a day or two later. I have been...

That elevates these crimes to conspiracy charges. It also means you can charge their co-conspirators as well. Wonder how many people they can charge with conspiracy to commit attempted vehicular manslaughter for the recent incident... Just saying....

Better than 90% of our Amazon orders are delivered by USPS out here. Of the remaining 10%, probably 8% are UPS and the other 2 split evenly between Fedex and Amazon's own delivery drivers. And thanks to Mrs Spat's habits, we have a fairly large sample set to look at there.

Wonder if Trey Gowdy would be interested....

You're not wrong, but it's pretty bold of them to openly campaign on "we're bringing back the fraud"

That would still be illegal for many reasons. Why should mailing someone a handgun be any different than handing it to them in person ?

I agree with most of that, but... What makes you think anything we do now will change how they will behave when they regain power ?

The dysfunction in DC is so entrenched that it will take something the scale of the French revolution to dislodge it. Musk shitcanned 80% of the Twitter employees in a few months and the company runs better than ever. He is probably the world's foremost expert on trimming the fat from an...

Yep. I think Vance might do a decent job, but we really need the bull in a china shop energy that is Trump. Nobody else is going to have that.

I don't think much will change honestly, other a guaranteed BS impeachment. It's not like the Republicans have actually been *doing* anything, and it's not like having one branch will be enough for the Democrats to do anything either. So, we'll go from a lot of noise but no real action to a...

Republicans hold all 3 branches. Actual Conservatives ? Not so much.

The right has actually shifted quite a bit left since the 90s. Half of the policies that Trump holds and gets demonized for were mainstream democrat policies just a few years ago. Look at Clinton on immigration, or the LGB stuff for instance.

Required to carry a weapon at all times. Because they are required to defend the innocent. Typically that amounts to a small ceremonial dagger called a Kirpan. What is the Kirpan? - World Sikh Organization of Canada What is the Kirpan? As a religion, the Sikhs are very commendable, and...

The whole point of a free market is to determine the proper value of things. That's why socialism always fails, without a free market the central planners can never appropriately price things. When you attempt to price things based on feelings you will inevitably screw them up. So, recycling...

GOA has a lawsuit pending to eliminate that. The entire NFA is predicated on being a tax. If it's not a tax, then there is no legal justification for the registration. Can you have a $0 tax ?
