I thinks that's one of those state's rights things where federal government can't just tell a town how to zone it's own land unless they're taking it away from the town like for a national Park or something.

It is most likely this. OP is one of the unfortunate people that just cannot use marijuana safely due to his biology. If you have cannabinoid hyperemesis, best to stay away from weed because the constant nausea/vomiting can lead to unintentional weight loss and a lot of other physical problems that are no fun.

I'm addition to convenience Amazon has just killed off a lot of retail options. The only competitor left with brick and mortar is Walmart and somewhat best buy for electronics. Very hard to find those small specialty stores nowadays for little random things unless you live in a big metropolitan area. Even stores like Walmart now will have the same products by a million different brands instead of having an actual variety of products.

I know you're referring to a VR headset but my mind immediately started imagining standalone over-ear headphones that can play all PC games through a purely audio interface. Imagine the accessibility possibilities lol

Except most state/local governments do have property taxes on houses, land, and cars. Not unrealistic to apply the same towards other assets. Specially since taxing homes and cars is counterintuitive because you're taxing necessities, while taxing monetary/investment assets like stocks would make more sense to encourage more spending instead of just hoarding the money.

If they'd continued paying for coffee, he would've only been able to go up to $16.899 million. Think of the horror and injustice!

It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father's falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because "9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business"

Closest real movie I can come up with is Shanghai Noon. It's not samurai, but it does have eastern martial arts in an old west setting.

That's a good idea. I think in that situation the fancy stuff matters less than the magnification so the "cheaper" telescopes might make more sense. I'll have to look into it!

Do you guys ever go to the Texas Theater for Tuesday Night Trash? I went to the last one and it was a lot of fun. It happens the first Tuesday of every month and they screen a different B movie each time. The movie is free, and they do have drinks and food available for purchase.

I actually was using my 200-600 with a 1.4x teleconverter. For photos it was a little easier but particularly for video was harder. But honestly it's all great. I don't do crazy hikes with a lot of gear so I'm happy to lug my 200-600 around. And it usually gets me the shot or close to it. I'm not a professional so it's not like anything depends on me getting the shot. It's more about the journey anyway haha
Main thing is my a7iv no longer feels like it's limiting me like my d3300 did and more often than not, it is my own limitations

I started with a used Nikon d3300 a while ago, and then upgraded to an a7iv when it came out. I was mostly starting to feel the limitations of low light performance and slow autofocus on the d3300. For me the a7iv seemed like the right choice at the time, and I've been very happy with it. But I think if I were making the same decision now, I might choose the a6700. It's smaller, similar specs, cheaper, and most importantly for me, the apsc crop would be better for wildlife as it gives better reach. I recently went to Yellowstone and the number of times cool stuff was happening just a little too far away was a bit frustrating. If I had something like an a7riv or a7rv, it wouldn't be a problem because of how high resolution they are. But those cameras cost a ton more. But I'm still very happy with my a7iv and will not be changing cameras any time soon.
I would say that unless you have a lot of nice glass for the d3200 already, don't worry about switching to Sony. I think it really is the best brand for hobbyists because of how much affordable and excellent 3rd party glass is available for the system in both full frame and aspc. Just cannot be matched with any other system. Also, if you do want the crazy fancy stuff, the Sony G and GM lenses are some of the best in the game, and definitely have the most variety of lenses.
I would avoid m43. A lot of the newer cameras aren't particularly light or small. I think the Sony apsc cameras are often more compact and more affordable.

Sure, but the difference was he could've been charged for murder if, let's say, the person he ordered to be killed was a political opponent and not a clear threat to the nation. And Congress or judges would've had some power to make that call before, whereas they don't really seem to have that power anymore.
Also, strictly speaking in terms of what the founders wanted - they did not want the president to have those kinds of powers. Most of these things were really brought in during FDR's tenure during WWII where he took a lot of power for the executive branch. And it's a trend that's been continuing since.

Hi everyone, I found out yesterday that I'll be going to Dallas for my psychiatry residency! Super excited to get started, I'm coming from the northeast. Would appreciate any advice about Dallas including neighborhoods, things to do, food, what's dart and is it reliable? Thank you!!
I haven't read the comics but I feel like this was all a setup to get Mark to convert to the Viltremite mission. I feel like Nolan cut some sort of deal with the bug people after saving/conquering them to set all of this up for Mark.
