I agree with the underperformed teachers and administrative bloat. Teachers have to really be on the ball for 10 years to get their tenure. After that they're nearly impossible to show the door. The bureaucratic bloat at the admin level is borderline ridiculous.
Sports are just one of many...
Most of the people I know thst have signed non-compete clauses were taking a skill of some sort with them that their current company paid for. They could decline and compensate the company for the education.
Example. My shop sent a guy to school for PDR, Paintless Dent Repair. They spent...
I've got Federal Flite Control #1 on hand for HD shotgun rounds. 15 thirty cal pellets in a special wad that keeps them very tight. The pellets are brass too, so they deform slightly when rattling together and stay more on target, rather than scattering like billiard balls on break. Put that...
Right wrong or indifferent to the subject of it, jist having the word "Act" in the title doesn't make it not a law. SAFE Act, Affordable Care Act, Patriot Act... they all suck and I would love them to be repealed or struck. But until they are, they're written law, passed by legislatures and...
The NYS Thruway tolls were supposed to end in 1996 when the bonds were paid off. Instead they've only increased. Significantly. Government will NEVER give up a revenue stream once it's established.
This could truly be the crest of the slippery slope. What other product manufacturers need to start worrying about someone misusing their items in a criminal way and have the liability fall back onto them?
It does not say "designed to accept", it says "ability to accept". Two very different concepts.
Its original design is completely irrelevant.. What matters is what it has the ability to do at the time of the sale.
I heard he was asking her to stay for a drink after the wake, but she had to decline. Had already paid a non-refundable $100k to attend another event across town the same day...
Im really curious how this will do much of anything. Once you're in to the subway system you can get pretty much anywhere in the city.
This would be like a bar that has 7 entrances but is only checking IDs at 2.
Oh for sure. The Flame Wrench is a way of life here. We add accordingly to the LTG for corrosion.
My daily driver right now is a 2003 Tahoe. I bought it 2 years ago out of California, spent its whole life in AZ and CA. The guys in the shop couldn't believe how clean it was underneath the first...
I know quite a few guys that have left the "flat rate" business and taken state jobs. They go in a Gung ho hangin and bangin and all the union guys are like "WHOOOOAHHH. Chill dude. Slow down, relax. Get some coffee. You're makin us all look bad..."
There are so many different pay structures for so many different jobs. Its impossible to have a universal "work week" number of hours people should work.
Pseonal experience, been a car dealership flat rate tech for almost 25 years. Im paid for production, and I have no safety net. Business is...
Sadly things aren't like the days of old. A 13 year old with some gang friends taking in an NBA game with no parental supervision and coming back to a shitty neighborhood in Crown Heights is a recipe for disaster.
Had a doorbell ring some years ago at like 1030 pm. Was persistent. Finally opened the door with my hand under my shirt on CCW to see a somewhat sketchy character with some pizzas. Nope, sorry. We didn't order any pizzas. Get off my property.
Poor people are usually poor because they make poor (no pun intended) financial decisions. Handing them a pile of cash doesn't suddenly make them fiscally responsible. Maybe invest some of that money into something that will pay a return, build that wealth into more. Vacations and cars ain't...
I remebwr Chris Frye of MDTS some years ago saying he didn't offer a carbine class anymore because of the legalities. He couldn't teach the platform the way it was meant to be used, and with so many different configurations to be "legal" in NY it was difficult. Also didnt want to be that guy who...
Oh for sure I know they have all kinds of shit sitting in the desk drawer just waiting for the perfect incident to pop up so they can send the bill to the floor and ram it through. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
I don't disagree its worth fighting. Just pointing out that there are gun rights groups that don't think its worth their time. I can understand their position, even though I don't agree. I get very angry when I still get calls from the NRA. I tell them you abandoned NY, GFY
Ok, as far as the "mag dump" argument goes...Let's say you are in NY and have a 10 rd max... you've dropped 8 shots in this perp to neutralize the threat. So you think. You sit there a second and contemplate WTF just happened. Then 2 accomplices burst in. Bang, bang, click... click... Now time...
And what did NY do immediately after Bruen? We passed the CCIA in DIRECT disregard of the ruling and things actually got worse instead of better... legally speaking.
Be pretty tough to go back to the old ways once the "all clear " is signaled from this latest conflict. Not to mention, if life pretty much continues as normal with the proliferation of guns into civilian hands, what do you base the decision on to return to heavy regulation.
Fighting the gun laws in NY is like giving the Titanic crew a bunch of 5 gallon buckets to bail out the water. Most gun rights organizations know that NY is a lost cause.
I was shocked to learn in the last few months how tightly regulated civilan gun ownership was there. Being surrounded by countries that want to wipe them off the face of the earth, I had always assumed Israel was a lot more like Switzerland, where service was mandatory and you kept your arms...
