The most common “loophole” is direct transfers between immediate family members, aka someone can give their spouse/child/parent a gun without a check. But let’s be real if you live with someone they already have some level of access to any guns in the home.

The often cited “gun show loophole” is just a misnomer and is talking about private sales which still require a background check in several states. Even when it’s not required many will opt for it since knowingly selling a gun to someone who is not allowed to posses it is a felony.

I mean, background checks are already a thing for most sales. All sales from a store, and several states have a requirement for one during private sales.

That’s iPhones

Prtty sure it’s burried in the settings for bith firefox and chrome

In the US a city is a government of a municipality. Every city has a governing body that levies taxes, plans infrastructure, pays emergency services, handles code requirements and enforcement, and can pass laws. For example, many cities have a ban in place on burning trash. That ban is enforced by the city law enforcement and applies within city limits. Another example is in Colorado when weed was leagalized by the state several cities made it illegal to open a recreational dispensery in city limits, so anyone wanting to tap into that customer base had to set up their opperation in the surrounding county (county is usually a large square of land that includes cities under it and has less regulation than the city, so burning trash is legal in most counties and anyone living outside the city, but in the county may do so) counties have Sheriffs who enforce the law and can have various non-city entities that do things like run a fire department.

Its all kinda complicated but baisically you have the following governments in the United States: Federal Government (laws for the whole country) -> State Government (laws for the state, baisically a small country, they do actually have their own militaries tax collectors etc…) -> County Government (a large portion of each state that often includes several cities handles mostly crime that happens outside cities, infrastructure, and fire regulations but can do more depending on the state. I think a few states have Bouroughs or some other name for these entities, but same idea) -> City Governments (laws for the city, zoning, sales tax in the city [on top of the state sales tax] law enforcement in city limits, and a bunch of other stuff)

There are exceptions and edge cases like municipal governments that aren’t cities exactly and other odds and ends. Which makes law in the US complicated, for example you could get in trouble for having a knife that’s legal one town over, but you visited a friend in a city where it’s illegal. Lots of other odds and ends, like reporting purchases made out of state so you can pay your states sales tax on that etc…

Wild take when most veterans end up that way because they didnt have any other real options at the time.

Its a middling mamagement role, typically you can’t get your own command until one rank higher. It’s about 6-8 years of service starting at O-1. There should be a few hundred of them in the Airforce.

However he did a big no no, specifically making political statements while in uniform if the pictures here are accurate. He could be facing time in prison over that if it goes to court martial. So effectively he’s tanked his career, and risked his freedom when he could have done just one of those things. Middle management small dick syndrome if iv’e ever seen it. Willing to bet he found out he wasn’t getting promoted or something to do something so assanine in order to pick up sympathy points for a political run later.

It’s not really that big of a deal. Some people do it on purpose for various reasons, but it also comes with downsides. For the hospital bill though duty of care means you will be taken care of during childbirth. After that if you skip the country it’s hard to collect, also if you aren’t making much money in the first place your bill gets dramatically reduced.

I think Mint offers that, similar deal with Xfininity mobile but you need to have an Xfinity cable subscription

The invisible kind are things like heavy large planters, those annoying posts that are always where you wanted to walk, those restrict vehicle movement and ramming ability, electeonic survailance tech stashed everywhere to identify or possibly counter UAVs, underground parking garages or other underground basmets that can act as a garrison and cover in the event of bombardment, that kind of thing.

Depends where you live, 6 figures is the minimum in some places for single income earners let alone households. For example im working for a company that has a lot going on in Boston, the only way the math maths for me to live there, within 30 minutes commute is about 200k a year, budgeting about $600 a month for a car payment. And about 5-6k in mortgage. Plus utilities are insane so there goes another 500-600 a month. (Probably depends a bit on neighborhood, but thats what some of my coworkers were complaiming about) and food is about 50-60% more expensive my spouse covers that so not sure the cost, id guess for the 3 of us round about another 600-700 in groceries plus say another 200 or so for eating out, so yeah… 6 figures doesnt mean much in terms of real purchasing power the rest going into repairs for cars, home stuff thats inevitably broken in those 70+ yr old houses selling for over a mil. Thats the napkin math, exact math, and budgeting for things like PCs, savings, etc… not included.

But point being 6 figures doesnt mean well off depending on where that 6 figures is being made. Sure id live like a walking middle age crisis on 100K in the middle of nowhere, but middle of nowhere isnt going to be offering 100k

(not sure how it’s called)

I think you are looking for “wealth tax”

Also the US has inheritance tax that kicks in once an estate exceeds 5million dollars. The problem is that you can bypass that limit by establishing a trust that holds all your assets. If before your death you put everything over 5million in a trust (baisically a legal contract that acts like a container for assets that a lawyer oversees to make sure the contract is executed) then it stops being your wealth and starts being the trust’s wealth. A trust can have any arbitrary set of rules, for example it could be as simple as: wisely invest my assets and pay out an income to my surviving decendants from the intrest and their decendants. Or ot could be: while i live pay me out, on my death distribute everything left to charities my children are ungreatful brats and don’t get anything. Really it can be anything.

Those are really useful if for example you have 3 unmarried adults who want to share property and make sure property rights transfer between them until everyone is dead then the trust is disolved and the property goes to: favorite niece or something. It can also be useful to allow joint ownership of regulated items that otherwise can’t be jointly owned (e.g. machine guns) they are also more powerful than a will if for example you want to make sure your grandkids get college money, or dont get any money until 25, while their parents get nothing and so on… anything you can put on a contract can rule the trusts assets.

So realistically the solution here is to cap how much value can be in a trust, say 5million dollars, and limit how many trusts an individual can be a benneficiary of, lets say 3 trusts at a time.

You dont really, at least not the same way, youd probably want to look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast

CEC support OOTB isnt great on just a desktop OS, though Plasma (KDE) is dropping a big screen version in the near future that might fit the bill with a lot less tinkering. In the meantime https://osmc.tv/vero/ is probably your best bet

Id possibly look at this guy here if you want mostly plug and play: https://osmc.tv/vero/ it might nit be perfect, but probably one of the least bad OOTB options.

Nice release, might have to see about throwing it on a mini pc for htpc ussage at some point.

Wicca at least, obviously a lot more but that was the one I looked for on the new list.

We do have basic background checks on most purchases.

They also do some BMS stuff, and some support limited graphics and UI. Depedns on the moddle
