After ignoring my sleep apnea since I was 21, I finally got tired of being sleepy during the day, losing focus on everyday tasks and generally feeling tired all the time, and did a home sleep study in May. One night, simple equipment and minimal (if any) hassles. When the results came back and...
I'm with you, churchmouse...it seems to be another instance of surrendering control of our lives to technology subject to control by someone else. No thanks!
Call me paranoid, but my greatest concern is this: Even if the technology is perfected someday, the government would probably have a back door into the devices, allowing the Feds to arbitrarily disable some or all of the guns so-equipped. No thanks, I'll pass and stick with something EMP-proof.
It's interesting to note that some neighbors are complaining about noise, cracked drywall, etc, yet no one raised near as much Cain over the constant thunder of actual artillery rounds being fired at the Jefferson Proving Ground for decades. Heck, I grew up on the hilltop and can distinctly...
I've had the same tour here in Fort Wayne, and zoo management was very explicit in their instructions...human lives come first, and any escaped animal that poses a threat is toast, per the zoo's directives.
With a pending lawsuit and a documented history of insubordination? Not likely...no department head wants the vicarious liability exposure on the grounds of "negligent hiring/retention." That fellow's a hot potato right now, and will be for a long time to come.
Thanks...it always seemed pretty dumb to me that we would slam the door on some exceptional people because they had chosen military careers right out of high school. I'm pretty happy with the outcome!
To make a long story (kinda) short, I've always hated the way Indiana's 1977 Police & Firefighter's Pension Fund excluded otherwise qualified military retirees from employment in a lot of departments around the state. For decades, the maximum age to get into the plan (and therefore get hired)...
This might be a perfect opportunity for you to go tankless...they save money over the long run, and they deliver hot water much more quickly than a traditional tanked unit. I think Home Depot carries a line made by Jacuzzi, and even the big ones are only as big as a suitcase. You can mount it...
That's why I love thirds...my rank is merit-based & I'm generally in charge, while the political types are home in bed. I couldn't ask for better, and most of my people ROCK!
It was at Coldwater & Coliseum...FWPD, ACPD IPFW police & ISP all responded. Interestingly enough, the videographer was talking a lot of trash until all the back-up arrived, then he decided it was better to sound like the voice of reason. He sure was meek & mild-mannered when I saw him...
Stuart was always one of my favorite sportscasters and seemed like an all-around good guy . I agree with the other posters, cancer is a terrible disease. My prayers to his family, friends, and coworkers.
It's a bit more involved that that. When you try to run someone down, you're using your vehicle as a deadly weapon, opening the door for the use of deadly force.
Guilty as charged, I suppose. I just wish she had inherited some of my analytical nature as opposed to Mommy's feather-light emotional trigger. There goes the rest of my hair!
Ummm, NOT!! That thing doesn't come anywhere near my little buddy, or even our German Shepherd. The princess will come home to find its hide on a stretcher, drying in the sun!
