I had a friend go through this; first of all, sorry that happened to you. My understanding is that if you take your anti-virals you’ll have a pretty normal life. The concept of sex is dicey, I understand when you’re not flaring up the risk is small, but it’s still there. They have a normal relationship but avoid sex in flare ups. Be sure to talk to your partners in advance!

In oregon an electrician makes $100k/yr, a controls electrician $160k, and an electrical engineer 200-300k.

I’m hoping they know the red/blue divide, and the device goes off in a red state. Mara Lago area would be the most symbolic.

More accurately, his girlfriend is, he’d probably be consider an asset. An important distinction on whether you protect them when they’re in trouble.

My major concern is that faced with defeat either way, they use dirty bombs to irradiate the population centers of israel. We’d have 9 million refugees and a huge environmental catastrophe.

Good analysis; one note I’d make is that I’d assume western intelligence has tried to do some seismic mapping of the site by sneaking recording equipment nearby. No telling how accurate that would be, but they might have a rough idea what they’re up against. His analysis holds true, though, even with that note.

If they’re going to rogan they’re media consumers, but they’re not news consumers. People who go to a strip club aren’t moving away from traditional bars.

You need to set a bar for rich. How much in fixed assets and how much income per month or year?

By world standards you’re probably rich.

If Iran fires dirty bombs into Israel, sure you can attack them, but the damage is done.

Presidents can attack basically anyone under the blanket provisions given for 9/11

Important comment, this has been fraying for several years and now it’s unravelling.

I love the theory that if Klarna folds, there will be some small window where you can pay using klarna and get something for free. It will never happen but I love the idea.

Depending on the state, you may detain someone in the process of a crime until law enforcement can take them. I know in Texas, civilian arrest powers are very similar to police.

Being active military throws a huge wrench in this, however, as well as being ordered to a place and deployed with the purpose of policing. You can’t just throw up a “this is federal property” defense, because this is also a public building.

While they have the physical ability to resist, they don’t have the legal right. They are subject to the same laws as anyone in the US.

In fact, they might be commanded to stand down and accept it, because the legal implications of acting like an occupying force would have long term, very bad effects for the existence of the marines.

While that might sound far fetched, the marine corps is smart, and would allow a few soldiers to face some humiliation and risk the government that funds them thinking “what if that was my kids?”

ICE, ICE, Barbie.

I too heap scorn on people who don’t do everything this guy thinks is appropriate.

Also research HERF guns. I suggested them for IEDs but the researcher I talked to said the military was far beyond that idea.

Article 4 of the Constitution, they can’t take your house to do anything.

First video we see of a drone strike officially makes it a civil war. Either side.
