I've told you once and I'll tell you again - IT'S FOR HUNTING DEER

Oh you joke, but my hometown (Southern OH, just North of Piketon on US 23) got in a little trouble a couple of years ago for accepting donations to the tune of something like $1000 to make your ticket disappear. Wish I could find a better source...

In my state (Ohio) it's a law that you must be given 48 hours notice before the owner or someone on behalf of your apartment building can enter your apartment. There are exceptions for certain situations, like fire, and possibly your leaking pipes scenario if it was bad enough.

Not 0$/hour, you need to compare "can I do this cheaper myself than paying someone else?" Parts are cheap, labor is expensive. There are many of us who can do the the work. The whole point of knowing these codes is to quickly track down the problem. Also, there are more than a few of us who work on our cars for fun.

My school (fairly large school, 20000 undergrads + grad students) usually had ONE copy of the textbook for engineering classes at the library.

Ah drug dealers, just as nature intended.

From a good friend who is 6'2", leg room is annoying, but doable for short term. The real kicker is the head room, he looks out the top 2" of the windshield, hits his head getting in and out etc.

By that definition Nitrogen is a pollutant too, along with, well, any gas but Oxygen.

yes things have gotten much smaller over the years, even the shift key.

Here in the US I'm opposed to raising taxes to that of a Western European nation on the basis that we already on average work more hours per week than any other country. I'll consider letting my government raising taxes when I get the same pay I do now for working Western European hours.

Clarify this: do you mean you have to pay the "holding fee" on everything once you get a Class 3 or what? A very good friend of mine has AP for his .223 and .308, neither of which have any "holding fee" associated with them. Yes I'm sure there was a sales tax applied at sale, and possibly some federal tax because it's ammo, but I'm not sure about the latter because I've never bought any ammo. I just shoot his :)

Also I don't see this "holding fee" happening for things you can buy online, like ammo. My friend gets all his ammo from online, it comes in nice metal tins covered in Russian / Bulgarian whatever writing. He also has what I'm guessing you mean by high capacity (30 round magazines) and there was no fee.

what about that guy who sets off dynamite? (hey this is the Appalachians)

Some phones cost $500, it depends what you want in a phone. All my phone needs to do is call people, have a phone book, and voicemail. That can't cost anywhere near $500. I would rather outright by my cheap phone and not have it subsidized by the phone company (yes I know I can go buy a one that does what I need on ebay cheap).

I'm 20 something, don't pay for texts and have then blocked on the account.
