North Dakota
Oklahoma
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming
And the concern troll says "I see no evidence that more guns lead to less crime". And "I've never heard of Lott's study till this day, but let's pretend I've read the entire book and could easily dispute his stats if I wanted to.
What a bunch of bullshit. I am no longer entertaining good faith arguments on Gun Control, as I have seen the Left has no desire to approach the issue with honesty. Screw em, no more dialogue - YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE GUNS. PERIOD. Sorry about your socialist wetdream, it's not going to happenn, and we will kill every last one of you motherfuckers if you make us.
Punch a Nazi? Sure. But kill the Marxists.
Yesterday at Mass, we were led to pray that our government would pass better laws to end gun violence. I thought that we might better pray that the spiritual void that led young men to kill strangers might somehow be filled by a sense that their lives had meaning and purpose, but I'm not in charge, so better laws it is.
Ths Kim dynast seems to exhibiting his inadequacy.
There are a lot of doomsayers out there these days. What I find inspiring is this recent story aboutthe ingenuity of brave Hong Kong protesters using LASER POINTERS against the facial recognition security cameras:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/hong-kong-protests-lasers-facial-recognition-ai-china-police-a9033046.html
Ingenious, no? I find it amazing, and a testament to the human spirit yearning for freedom.
And I might add that Google and other U.S. firms supporting the communist, totalitarian Chinese government with these facial recognition technologies should all rot together in Hell.
Meanwhile, the Chinese military is massing on the Hong Kong border...
Fuck China and Google
Meanwhile, in America, the Democrats seem content to move toward a 21st century Powder Alarm when they return to power.
No doubt Reza Aslan will lead the extermination effort. I guess that kind of thing is what you learn at Harvard Divinity School.

True. You teach males that masculinity is toxic and that they have nothing to live for, other than to be demonized in service to your latest political cause... what outcome do you expect?
The greatest threat to every civilization has been idle males between the ages of 18-40. Once they go feral, everything comes down.

Did Greenland really lose 12.5 billion tons of ice in a single day? What's up with that?
Chem Trails are gone everywhere. And they were as real as it gets.
That seems a ridiculous, 12.5 billion tons
Chem Trails are gone everywhere. And they were as real as it gets.
And why are they gone?
Because a more efficient way to do "whatever" is now being employed?
Conundrum: I don't think politicians, left or right, inspire these shooters. They're flakes. What inspires them are other flakes and the publicity those flakes receive. By reporting on and discussing these flakes, we are encouraging the next flake to take up arms, but, on the other hand, how can you ignore a mass shooting?.....We don't publicize high school suicides. Maybe we should take this for our paradigm in the way to handle these shootings....I don't know what to do. I try to tune out when these things occur. The solutions that people propose are actually part of the problem.

Hey, Lightbulb Experts. Remember about a month ago when you guys were educating Ignorant Fen about proper lightbulbs? I've got a bathroom area that I think was rewired by the previous homeowner's boyfriend loser. It keeps popping light bulbs, maybe once a week. Until I get a professional electrician to look at it, will it make any difference if I get a lower watt bulb? Or maybe something heavier duty?
"Trump has designated China a currency manipulator.
Shit is real."
Is China really gonna stop takin' our ag?
Does China really take 17% of our ag exports (more than any other country, incl Canada and RapeMurderInvaderco)? I read that somewhere, not sure if it was some lib BS factory, or not.
Re real shit.
That gal in "Euphoria" has tits. And a dick.
Is that common? Only dick-up alterations?
I'm not afraid of trannys. Just curious re the flavors. E.g. to dick or not to dick. And, whatev trans dudes do do re downstairs. Fake cock?
I'm also not afraid of a Queen reading books to kids.
Clowns are way more sketch. IMHO.

Get your electric meter out and check voltage. Sounds like 220V on a 120V circuit problem. If you can find one, put in a 220V bulb. Amazon carried but a small selection, or the Amazon search isn't properly finding them- which I find with volts, amps, and watts to be a problem.
If you do have 220 volt to the bulb fixture- it's an easy fix at the switch. If it's operated by only one switch...
"If you do have 220 volt to the bulb fixture- it's an easy fix at the switch. If it's operated by only one switch..."
How so?
If there are two hots and no neutral, like a typical 220 circuit, that go to the switch and then one of these hots is broken via the switch, while the other hot goes to the fixture w/o being switched, how will messing w/ the switch help?
I suppose there could be a 14-3 (or maybe 12-3) that goes to the switch such that there is a neutral that is not used. That'd be odd. But, could have occurred if someone was running two 120 circuits in one wire (like some folks will do for kitchen receptacles).
Aside from that stuff, checking the circuit that shuts off this light in the panel would identify the voltage, re 120 or 240.
But, I don't actually know that stuff. Just pick up a basic thing or two here or there.
There are going to be additional wires in the junction box. White is supposed to be neutral, green ground, and black or any other color, live. Having seen some wiring nightmares, I always test. Black and red are your common 220/240V wire connections. Either one to white- but it should be black for standardization, should give you 120V.
My Ex-Boyfriend was the Dayton Shooter

I’ve been wondering if you have considered doing a podcast. I really love the way you’ve sparred with good minds on bloggingheads.
Go,
There may not be a neutral, even if there is a white wire. For example, 220 in-wall heaters don't require a neutral (because they don't have internals that run on 120). So, for a 12-2 "Romex" on a 20A 220V circuit: the white wire would be a hot, and the black would be the other hot. The electricians should put black tape on the white wire in this situation. IOW, just cause ya see a white wire in a j box, you can't 100% know that it's a neutral (go to the panel to check).
And, technically the ground is probably a bare wire, i.e. not green, as in NM, which is what folks use (if yur not in conduit).
IMHO.
How many comments that mention committing violent acts and/or killing people can a person make before other folks become concerned s/he might really do it? Asking for a friend.
"How many comments that mention committing violent acts and/or killing people can a person make before other folks become concerned s/he might really do it?"
Oh, that can go on forever. Inga is the real cause for concern.
"How many comments that mention committing violent acts and/or killing people can a person make before other folks become concerned s/he might really do it?"
Left unsaid there is the assumption that after a certain number of such mentions, the state would be Justice field in coming in, possibly incarcerating the offender, and seizing all of his guns. No doubt a number of us here, probably led by the notorious Fen, would already be in the territory where concerned leftists could seize our firearms for our own safety, and that of the greater society.
Notorious Fen. I like that.
The wife thanks you making me more unbearable than usual tonite ;)
N- N- NOTORIOUS!

You wouldn't think facial recognition would work with asians anyway.
”Trump has designated China a currency manipulator.”
Said by a dumbshit who doesn’t think Chiba will react to threats of tariffs.
"Said by a dumbshit who doesn’t think Chiba will react to threats of tariffs.”
Isn’t the main idea of tariffs to get a country to react? Elizabeth Warren is more of a hard liner on China than Trump, BTW.
"Having seen some wiring nightmares,”
I used to work in a restaurant where the stainless steel sink was right next to the stainless steel refrigerator and the fridge was somehow wired wrong. It was the biggest shock I ever got in my life. The safety procedure was never touch the fridge while you were washing your hands. Nobody did it twice.
Chiba early in the morning may lead to spelling errors.
"Ths Kim dynast seems to exhibiting his inadequacy.”
Now that China is dead set against Trump being re-elected, they have set their dog to barking again. We have learned many many things by having Trump in the WH. One of them is that Kim does what is in the interest of China’s strategy, whatever it is at the time.
Looks like August, one of my favorite times of year.
August 6th, American Technology Day.
Some of the same people pushing for restrictive gun laws themselves ignored laws prohibiting marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. But this time prohibiting something will actually succeed in banning it and not creating a massive criminal enterprise to supply it.
"Isn’t the main idea of tariffs to get a country to react? Elizabeth Warren is more of a hard liner on China than Trump, BTW."
I don't know if she is or isn't, but I don't think she's reckless or stupid enough to threaten or impose tariffs as casually as sneezing. (Trump, demonstrably, is both reckless and stupid.) China rightly perceives this as economic warfare against them, and they will respond accordingly. Look at what Trump's stupidity has done to the markets, and to the "pensions" (401bs and the like that aren't real pensions) that rise and fall with the markets. (Just think if our Social Security system were transferred over to the markets.)
I was in Sun Prairie, WI, twice a couple weeks ago. No prairie, just a COSTCO. I was following Ann's lead and drove cross country from Texas to Wisconsin and back. I'm so tired of airline flying...
(Just think if our Social Security system were transferred over to the markets.)
Yeah. Just think if SS was invested when the Dow was 1000 in 1982. What a shame !
" (Just think if our Social Security system were transferred over to the markets.)"
You're smarter than this, Robert. I mean that sincerely.
China rightly perceives this as economic warfare against them, and they will respond accordingly.
I am hard pressed to figure out how economically illiterate one must be not to realize that the US has been caught up in an economic war with China for decades already. The US is fighting back for a refreshing change. The notion that a socialist or communist economy can beat a capitalist economy is laughable.
@Original Mike, consider the possibility that you’re wrong and he isn’t.
@Big Mike - I've considered it my entire life.
Every time the market dips the "See, see, see" people come out of the woodwork. The fallacy is obvious.
@Original Mike, you noticed that, too? I guess the trick is to not look at the stock market until the Times says it's going down.
“Look at what Trump's stupidity has done to the markets, “
LOL. I am thinking of buying a nicer boat, I might call it “Trumps Stupidity”
Do you think if Trump gets even more stupid, he could get unemployment down to 2%?

It keeps popping light bulbs, maybe once a week
I had that on my hall fixture. Replacing the switch solved it.
"It keeps popping light bulbs, maybe once a week"
It could be heat. I had this happening in an enclosed fixture. Lowering the wattage solved the problem.
the whole china matter is complex, the devaluations affected the fate of the princelings, the tariffs made much trouble for the bank of china, and declaring currency manipulations affects players in Europe,
Thanks for all the advice guys. I will let you know what works.
