Violent Cities
The morning of April 1, 1976, Moore announced on a BBC radio station that at 9:47 am, Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, creating the Jovian-Plutonian Gravitational Effect. These planets would pull at the Earth, temporarily decreasing its gravity. Moore instructed his audience that if they jumped into the air at exactly 9:47, they’d be able to feel it. When the time came, Moore instructed his listeners to "Jump, now!" Afterwards, many listeners called in to report that they'd floated.Oh Oh This isn't good for Texas in the long run. Number of Californians moving to Texas hits highest level in nearly a decade. Look at what happened to Colorado and Nevada. Unless these newcomers change their voting patterns, they're going to be electing folks that will implement policies that they have been fleeing. Eventually, they won't have any place to flee to. Car Headlights Glad to know it wasn't my imagination when I noted on my new car that the headlights seemed to be dimmer. IIHS says lots of new car headlights in the U.S. are garbage. Dog Video

NFL Combine Question
A strange question to ask but perfect for an ONT. If you wanted to kill a guy, would you kill him with a gun or a knife? The answer the LSU safety gave was weird though. Knifing is for fun? Also, if you have to continuously stab someone you're trying to kill, you are doing it wrong.

Pretty much spot on. Knives are close contact weapons. Whether by choice or not.

I recall vividly the time I had to talk my mother out of a killing.
She'd made up her mind, and formulated a very practical, workable plan. She was going to set the back of their house on fire, and shoot them as they came out the front. They'd be backlit, confused, and panicked, making them easy targets.
Rage is a hell of a drug.

Sure, it's fatal. Eventually.
But getting stabbed is painful, and most people react to pain by flopping about and making noise. And some people will recognize that a stab wound means there is an aggressor nearby, and will attempt to react with superior violence in response to the threat.
So, base of the skull, above the ear, or up through the soft palette are your best targets if working from behind with a blade. But it's probably better not to get within bad breath distance if it can be helped.

For what it's worth, St. Louis city and Baltimore are fairly unique, in that they are independent cities (not part of a county), and very densely populated because of their small geographic size.
So in a sense, they have bad reputations because they are nowhere near as widely spread out as other large cities in the U.S. So their crimes stats are not as "diluted" as places like LA, Houston, Detroit, etc.

The classic answer that knife is for personal motives, for rage, or pleasure etc.
Gun is for business.
Obviously there are exceptions. Shooting a guy in the nuts = personal.
Slitting throat from behind, business.
Not that I've given this a lot of thought or anything.
Then there are those who can kill with a typo.

A knife within it's range is deadlier than a handgun.
Very few people (if any) have been decapitated or disemboweled by a handgun. The "ammo capacity" of a knife is greater. I'd rather be shot than stabbed, provided I have such a choice.

The Los Angeles Police Department performed a variety of forensic tests on the rusty 5-inch fixed blade knife and compared it with the wounds inflicted on the victims before ruling it out as the murder weapon, two sources familiar with the investigation said.

In Brazil, they're nuts about the polka (and murder).
And let's not forget that Brazil is in the midst of a bad economic contraction and corruption at the very top; they're currently contemplating impeaching the Brazilian President.
Top this off with the planning for the Olympics for the summer of this year and the Zika scare, Brazil's pretty much in the lurch right now.

Orange Julius doesn't do well when there's no #winning and no polls to talk about, and Obama is taking advantage of the lull between primaries.
Like, hey Donald, you don't know much about nuclear strategy, and as far as that goes, you don't know much about the world, either.
You know what this does, right? Trump will respond with blunt force speech, and his supporters will love it.
Obama wants to ensure that Orange Julius gets the nomination and goes up against Cankles. He wants to savor that huge win she'll get.
He wants to bury the GOP. Forever.

Sorta. I mean, I've been diabetic for close to 30 years, so I've long been aware of insulin and it's risks and the nefarious use to which it could be put.
The hard part is administering. How do you give someone a shot without them knowing?

thing the law says is that entities can not be COMPELLED by city or

rooms, and etc.
ANYONE who WANTS to have their facilities unrestricted is perfectly free to do so.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at April 01, 2016 11:46 PM (yddCj)
Building Codes typically have minimal requirements for restroom facilities.
Years ago I sat on a board where they were pushing a mandate for waterless urinals 'for the environment'. I suggested if they are concerned about 'the environment' that they consider unisex restrooms with a single slit trench constructed of tile down the center of the room and once a day it would be flushed from the high end - saves 'the environment' by eliminating a door, no partitions, no porcelain, and only one flush device.
Didn't go over so well as they really weren't that concerned about 'the environment' if they were impacted.BTW, the men didn't see a problem.

Took two years to get that mess cleared up - finally went with public notice to appear in divorce court in local paper.
Crazy ex did reappear a few years later when new spouse called being s/he/it in jail after getting stabby and found my name in personal effects. Laughed my ass off, stabby, yeah, been there, done subjected to that, why didn't you just take the knife, hah ha ha...

Yes. But it is a slippery slope:
If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing, and from robbing he next comes to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

For practical purposes, I think killers slip up when they try to make a murder or killing look like something else.
Cops see everything every day - your average killer is an amateur when it comes to death. Cops know a hinky set-up when they see one.

You probably know already, but SD is still much more livable than
most of the greater LA area (though the traffic seems to get worse by
the month). Depending on your particular likes/dislikes/interests, of
course. I just mean size, crowds, traffic, density.

Do your Ambien/insulin thing, your fake suicide, your home invasion, but remember that style points matter.
A few tips, especially for spouses:
-When you "discover" the body, be sure to call 911 before you call anyone else, including your lawyer.
-Do not call the life insurance company before the body is buried.
-Do not, I repeat, do NOT hit on cute chicks at the funeral.

But the problem was her plan was too good - it
showed a level of attention to detail that would not escape notice, and
would, in fact, cause LE to dig and dig and dig.
From what I can tell, most killings are sort of simple, almost
spontaneous affairs; it's when the investigators see signs of
forethought and planning that they really get curious.
Posted by: [Palpatine] at April 01, 2016 11:36 PM (lutOX)
The thing is, I am told, is that your average investigator gets into a sort of investigation-haze. You pull a file, you review the facts, do a couple of interviews, put two and two together, make a reference to a database, write a determination, pull the next file . . . and so on.
You have amazing tools, access to databases, the education and the honed nose and a dedication to being a really nosy bastard, and you are doing stuff that almost be done by a properly crafted macro.
Then, you get something that smells off, you can almost feel the pattern, and you start digging, researching tide-tables and sunrise-sunset times, business registries, property ownerships, prime contractors, restaurant inspection scores.
In short, start flexing your muscles all because otherwise you will be bored and be as boring as the guy who does Sudoko in pencil and erases it when he is done because he wants to let other people have the same amount of fun that he has.

Okay, but you should still get a small discount for doing the job of cashier, yourself.

I've thought about this, and here is my scenario for a perfect murder:
First, put on a weird hat and some kind of absurd disguise, and go to a public library at least 50 miles from your house. Wear gloves. At this library, use their public computers and go on Craigslist and search for someone selling a cheap-ass obsolete laptop computer. Create a throwaway email address on the library's computer, and contact the seller, and make an appointment to go buy it.
Further altering your disguise, go meet the guy, and pay with cash (bills you have only ever handled with gloves). Needless to say, use a fake name. I recommend "Pat."
Phew! First step complete -- now you own a computer that cannot be traced to you.
Never again visit that library or use that throwaway email address. Ever.
Next, scout out (in some town that's not your hometown) cafes that have a free and strong wifi signal -- independent cafes only. Using this stranger's computer which you now own, DON'T actually go into the cafe but find some nearby location not visible by eye (or surveillance camera) from the cafe, but is still within its wifi cloud. Best would be somewhere "behind" the cafe's back wall, so you're not even in the same social space. Sneaky.
Log on to the wifi signal. Boom -- now you're on the internet through a signal that cannot be associated with you using a computer that cannot be traced to you.
Once online, go BACK to craigslist and this time search for used drones for sale. Find biggest bestest drone with the longest range, pilotable by the drone's on-board camera, purchased by the original owner way prior to the new Fed "drone registration" requirement.
Different disguise this time, again with gloved cash and fake name, go buy it.
For the rest of the steps, only ever touch the drone with gloves, in a "clean room" with minimized dust and particles.
Wipe all pre-existing fingerprints off the drone, thoroughly. Gouge out, very very deeply, any registration numbers or other identifying info.
Again in disguise, go to some farm supply store (or wherever) and buy some castor beans with cash -- a very modest amount of beans, no more than you need.
Then process the castor beans into ricin using instructions you find in a physical paper book at a distant library -- a book that you look at in the stacks and never actually check out. Needless to say, never look up ricin recipes on your computer, even your untraceable computer.
Then using a hypodermic needle inject the ricin into a small lightbulb that has thin delicate glass. Seal the small hole carefully.
Attach the ricin-bulb to the servo mechanism of the drone in such a way that if the camera is tilted in a certain direction, it will crush the bulb (and release the ricin, obviously). Test the technique on normal bulbs until you get it perfect.
Also: remove any memory chip from the drone which could record what it "sees" with its on-board camera.
Then scope out your victim, whoever it may be -- someone unknown to you is best, such as a celebrity, a random stranger, a politician, or whatever -- and when you learn ahead of time that they will definitely be in a specific outdoor urban location at a specific time, you scout out the situation ahead of time and position yourself way way out of any direct line of sight of the victim's upcoming location, and also unseen by passersby. Inside a room (with a window through which the drone could launch) would be best.
When the moment arrives, you pilot your drone via the onboard camera (beaming its image to your remote control's screen, as the high-end drones do), and (as you've surely guessed by now) fly the drone directly at your victim, and in the final moments rotate the servo mechanism to break the bulb as close as possible to your victim (bumping into him with the drone is OK too).
Ricin releases, victim dies, murder accomplished.
If the drone is still undamaged, uncaptured and functioning, you then continue to fly it further and further directly away from your actual location and land it or crash it into the most oddball location possible (which you also had previously scoped out) -- best spots would be where teenage nogoodniks hang about (skate parks, high schools, etc.), because they will most definitely "steal" any wayward drone that landed amongst them, and never turn it over to the cops.
Or into a lake. Or onto a highway where it would get run over. Etc.
But that's not even necessary -- because the drone is untraceable to you anyway, due to all the steps outlined above. Even if the drone falls into the hands of law enforcement, it wouldn't do them any good.
After the drone has finally stopped flying, you casually put the piloting remote control console in your backpack, walk the opposite direction from the incident (which you should be at least a half mile distant from anyway), and later utterly destroy the controller in an incinerator or other melt-into-slag scenario. Remove the computer's hard drive and chips, pulverize them personally with a sledgehammer in the wilderness, then smash up the computer too, take all the aforementioned parts, melt the whole thing in the same incinerator, then collect the slag of the remote control, computer and hard drive, go on a whale-watching trip, and throw the slag overboard in the deepest part of the ocean on the trip. Marvel at the whales, so you don't seem suspicious.
Never brag about the crime or mention it to anyone. Ever.

Nope -- it can be inhaled too, with deadly results.
A minor refinement of the plan would be to devise some way to make a very small "explosion" when the bulb breaks, to aerosolize the ricin.

I remember when all the athletes were going crazy over that to take drugs in through their skin. Back in the 70s, I think. I remember something about it leaving a fish taste in your mouth.

I've been thinking about it and I guess I was wrong in my comment to you. Losing a little representation in the House is a small price to pay to preserve a state's character and possibly save it from oblivion.
And I don't see how the 26th changes anything about the 14th's application only to male voters in this assessment of House representation.

DMSO in and of itself is relatively innocuous. The thing is that anything dissolved in it will be taken fully and totally into your bloodstream. It is the equivalent of a direct needle injection.

It's one of my all-time favorites. And the movie is amazing in that it doesn't water anything down towards the end, even as it's getting funnier and funnier. It is totally raw and totally hysterical.
It took me a couple of viewings to catch all the actual dialogue. I even saw one version where they subtitled it in English! I must have watched it five times before I could really hear that Waj was saying "rubber dinghy rapids", though I knew that it was something along those lines, anyway.

Frankly, I think SCOTUS was wrong to deny the state's the right to have their upper house constituated differently from their lower house, specifically when it came to distribution of state Senate seats by county.
If that were still allowed, than California, if it followed its last "Federal Plan" for its state Senate, would have a GOP majority. In Nevada, the Libertarians and Independent American Party would have more state Senators than the Democrats.

Which decision is that, because that sounds totally insane - though nothing out of the SCOTUS really surprises me. All the feral government is charged with is insuring a Republican form of government for the states (which the feral government actively worked AGAINST when Barky supported the Wisconsin flea-baggers).

The closer the person is to you, the tougher it is to get away with it.
The more motive you have, the tougher it is to get away with it.
The more you hate the person, the tougher it is to get away with it.
There's a reason serial killers are so tough to find, and that is because it is cold blooded sport, and seemingly random for quite a while.
The rest is luck, or bad luck.
My advice would be Don't Do It. Stay healthy long enough to piss on their grave.

"Just because it is late doesn't mean you can skip around the ONT ban on primary politics."
As far as I know, that is Maet's ban. Don't think CDR M has the same policy in place. Maybe someone could ask him?

I wonder if there is a Valurite brand of Root Beer Schnapps?

Gingy, Litle and I have been on vacation for the past three days. Big stayed at our house and watched the dog. Gingy, Little and I got less sleep than usual in hotel beds. We got home tonight at 6, exhausted. I had to run out and meet with a client, and then I was home. While I was out working, Gingy took all of Big's stuff to his house. Big texted me and asked me if his pills were taken to his house (Big has issues, but we've finally got a handle on them and his medication is key. He's finally working enough to support himself, and I CANT BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW HAPPY AND PROUD OF HIM I AM(seriously)). I looked and they weren't, so I told him so. Big was at his job, working until 3AM. "Do you want to come here to spend the night, or go to your house?" "I want to go to my house, I miss my pets". "Do you need your pills tonight, or can we get them to you in the morning?" "I need them tonight".
OK, I say, I'll put them in the mailbox, come by and get them on the way home. Then I, desperately weary me, doze downstairs, inside but close to the mailbox, just to make sure he's got what he needs, because he's told me he HAS to take his pill. I'd like to be in bed, I'm really tired.
So just a few minutes ago I get a text-"I can't find the pills". Turns out he went home and looked in HIS mailbox for the pills. When I tell him they are in MY mailbox, he says, and I quote, "Minor miscommunication then, I'll get them tomorrow. I always keep a weeks worth stashed in my desk"
So now I'm sitting here with sandy eyelids, angrily awake because I dozed earlier and now I can't sleep, contemplating filicide. No jury would convict me, right?

Are you dependent on any meds to keep you normal? I am. I am insulin dependent and I always have a months supply extra. That doesn't mean I want to use it when I have more available.
Sorry, I'm siding with Big and would send you to chair.

Point was "Oh, I have meds in my desk, nevermind". That's what I wanted to kill him for

I'm still siding with Big on this. Especially if it is a med that modifies behavior. When you are not thinking right, your memory suffers.
I will however lighten your sentence to time served and having to read every single comment at The Blaze for the next two weeks.
