Re: Gun Control

Nick Gillespie sums up my feelings pretty nicely: Acknowledging the horror of what happened and mourning for innocent lives snuffed out and families destroyed by the incomprehensible act of a madman is precisely what the country should be doing right now. If it seems as if that is a passive non-reac...

Re: Things that I hate

There is absolutely no reason any civilian needs a .223 caliber rifle. Seriously? Do you even know what a .223 actually is? It's one of the smallest calibers around, typically only large enough to take down a fox, coyote or other varmints. (Though, if you're well-trained, you can take down a deer w...

Re: Things that I love

The Seventh Circuit struck down Illinois' complete ban on open and concealed carry, yesterday.

We now join 49 other states that allow law-abiding citizens not just to keep arms (reluctantly given in our state after the Supreme Court ordered it), but to bear them.

I promise to take a picture tonight (and probably upload it tomorrow)!

Our tree is 3 feet tall and fake. We bought it our first Christmas together and have had it since. When we buy a house, we'll probably get a new, larger (fake) tree.

Could be a bigger impact if they were too close together? I just know that when I got my car loan and when I opened store credit (several months apart), the hard inquiries resulted in a 3-5 point drop each.

Re: Politics...discuss

Hey, question. Is it possible to spoil your ballot or do write-ins when you have electronic voting?
I assume you can do write-ins, but that there is no way to overvote your ballot if it's electronic. I wouldn't know, though, because everywhere I've ever lived has had paper ballots.

Well the best strategy is analyzing statistical deviations of the roulette, but i think that's not allowed now, is it? Unless the wheel has a significant bias or you're unfamiliar with the variations you're playing, I don't know why not. As long as you've done the work ahead of time. (And being a n...

Re: Things that I love

With roulette, you should expect to lose a little bit upwards of 5% of every bet.
Yup, I knew the house edge going in (and stupidly decided to play, anyway). To be fair, I only wound up where I did because I made a very lucky bet and then had the good sense to walk away.

I was glad to see the voters in Colorado and Washington approved their respective marijuana decriminalization measures. (And it's too bad the administration still plans to keep cracking down on it in those states.)
