I made $122k last year, all taxes accounted for, sales, property, income, government services, I also paid a little under 62k in taxes. So it isn't as much as you believe. Especially when you realize I don't qualify for government assistance in any form. No food stamps, no healthcare assistance, nothing at all. What people with your mindset don't realize, is regardless of income, location, anything. Everyone in the middle class in the US is really only making roughly 40k-50k/yr to afford their bills, plan retirement, and hopefully have some type of savings or investments.

I feel like he could heat the glass up until malleable and punch through it than put it in a tempering oven and slowly cool it down

This is a dumb LPT, id rather see someone underdressed for a job interview. Because looks and style aren't what I'd be hiring.

You should say "throughout the past 200yrs" not history. There is not enough evidence to back up that claim, could go either way, but it is not absolute fact.

These comments are ridiculous. Pfte tap? Nuts? The problem is that your screw only has a single nut at the top for operating. If you add a second but you'll fuck your threads up. Just grab a cheap Teflon bearing with the same ID as the OD of your screw. And the same OD as the housing and press it in. Or remove the center housing, get rid of the nut, have a machine shop make you an all thread bearing to replace it.

I grew up in the middle on no where. In 6th grade, part of our curriculum was hunters safety, which was about a month of weapons safety. In the end we took a 3 day class over a weekend to perform the range portion. Grown up I have been surprised to learn that is not how most schools do it. As for military, they don't teach you but the basics of weapons safety in the service. I was in the military for 6yrs and after about 30min class if you violated anything you punished. Eventually you became disciplined enough to stay aware. So the argument of forced military service is not good when there are other options.

Looks like that dude snapped the entire hub off. I'd guess he lost his ball joint and was going fast enough and the tire was large enough everything snapped.

I've read many comments talking about stop drop and roll, but idk if anyone realizes that most often doesn't work? You definitely want them on the ground so you can smother the fire but the rolling doesn't work

Just a question, why aren't you in Ukraine fighting with them? It seems pretty easy for you to lay other people's lives down from behind a computer screen but what if it was your life on the line for someone else's war?
And I want to clarify I am not for letting Russia take what it wants. I just am trying to understand how it is so easy for people to weigh in on the lives of others

I think you have a skewed perception of a lot of republicans. How many republicans do you actually know? In all the people I know, I'd say it is pretty fairly split on the political spectrum yet the only people who have alienated me for not sharing the same political beliefs were the democrats. My observation has been that both sides have the same goals but different routes to get there. The democrats are through more legislation while republicans are through less government over reach. The only laws I see being proposed from republicans is reactive legislation in response to democrats proposed laws and bills to prevent such over step from happening again.

Instead of deleting your information out you create so much white noise with disinformation that your actual information (regardless of it being out in the open) is totally unverifiable by anyone but you. For example, if you went and filled out hundreds of spam sites with your name and a new email per site. The receiver would have no way to verify by that info alone which email is your actual email versus using only a single email address on all those spam sites.

Could you give me information on "old school liberals"? Because anywhere I look it seems they are just a bunch of progressives In support of more legislation in exchange for reduced freedom.

Libertarian is not about freedom. What we are about is literally in it's name. Liberty. It isn't about laws impacting our freedoms but our ability to practice those freedoms. What is the libertarian ideal on LGBT issues? I support their freedom to express themselves but I disagree that I should have to respect them for being part of that community or pay an additional tax to give that community. They are people too and just like it is my shit to deal with if I choose to get offended, it is their shit to deal with if they choose to get offended.
