Where does this myth of slave labor pay in the oil industry come from? I live on the gulf coast in the middle of the U.S. petrochem region and the recent resurgence of U.S. oil exploration has lead to insane levels of job growth and prime pay for those lucky enough to work in the major petrochem plants. I was recently shocked by the reality of this at an extended family event at Easter, where I saw one of my wife's cousins, he is 23 years old, married with 2 young kids, and has a 2 year degree from local trade school and he makes over $100,000 per year doing shift work as an operator at one of the plants.

Correction here someone put a washer on a rod in the wrong place bewteen the opitical elements while assembling a measuring template device used in place of proper full diamter optical testing.

Wow all these replies and as far as I see, NO ONE seems to be concerned about what ever option is safest for the occupents of the car the computer is controlling.

No you don't you only need keys, and maybe not even that if you have certain skills

So you are saying you tend to kick in the doors of your friends houses in the middle of the night?

The real problem though with this bracelet tech is that it requires some sort of signal be sent to the gun, and the gun defaults to do not fire. The next step will be proximity no fire transmitters in "gun free" zones, police cars / officers, etc. These transmitters WILL be stolen by people with violent crimal intent. Imagine how safe this would make robbing a liquor store, just go in wearing your personal jammer

Buying handguns across state lines is already illegal, even in the more free states. Removing the more restrictive gun control states from the statement, it is already a federal crime (I think gun control act of 1968) to purchase handguns across state lines. If you do so you MUST buy from a licensed dealer who will SHIP it to a licencsed dealer in your state who will do the background check and approval paperwork, etc.

I know you wrote this to be a troll, but at the time the 2nd amendment was written in 1787 private ownership of cannon by wealthy land owners was somewhat common

For those are following this, at the time this was written the term "militia" meant men of potential military service age and regulated meant trained

I too am supporter of the 2nd amendment, but have concerns about the private resale market, and wish someone would offer a sensible option for the private seller to do background checks. Note I said OPTION, not MANDATE, as it is there is no way that a private seller can do a background check without going through a federally licensed gun dealer and paying fees, I would prefer it was done in an anonymous check system. Perhaps something where the potential buyer could fill out an eligebility form online which generates a security key good for something like 14 or 30 days, potential sellers could enter this number on a web site or send a text message with it, and get an authorized buyers name as a reply. The checking does not provide feedback that a sale occured, just that someone checked to see if the buyer was eligible to make a purchase, and the person doing they checking does not have to enter any personal information.

This was not torture to death, was not even close, it may not have been the most painless execution, but people die in far more painful ways in every hospital in america every day.

Also in this case did it taste like a shrimp?

Tell that to my cousin who is a farmer with thousands of acres in a flood plane, his house was built just prior to the 100 year bench mark flood, and did not flood then, however he can't add on to it now because the flood plain map says it is 6 inches below the flood plain. He can't even build a parking shed for his vehicles, because it would be a new structure in the flood plain which extends for many miles in all directions.

Have you priced a beach house lately, anywhere in the world? I know of one tropical island where beach front houses were selling for $25,000 - $30,000 25 years ago, those exact same small beach houses, now 25 years old have a resell value of $200,000 - $300,000 now that this vacation spot has been "discovered", and new construciton beach front houses start in the $500,000 range. The same is true in many other even non prime areas, the town I live in has seen a rampant increase in property values over the last several years, I know one person that paid $29,000 for an older 1920's house about 15 years ago, which was a good, but not great price in his neighborhood, at the same time the house next to his sold for about $32,000 and the very small ugly brown house across the street was on the market for many months at $19,000. The house next door with a few cosmetic upgrades (vinyl siding, privacy fence in yard, etc.) recently sold for $169,000, and the ugly brown one across the street which was just repainted and had a few other improvements is currently on the market for $139,000.

The big problem here is the definition of "climate scientist" is often those scientist that believe in climate change, those that don't are not awarded the titlte of "climate scientist" instead they are called "climate deniers" or worse
