Electing someone who believes that we should have laws and enforce them is exactly what we should do.

When she was a prosecutor, it was not her job to change the laws or decide which ones to enforce. If we don't want non-violent drug users and truants prosecuted, then we should change those laws. We have a process for that, and it doesn't include prosecutors making those decisions for us.

Those aren't pins at all. Those are the "balls" on the end of the strings. Get new strings, and just feed the through that hole in the bridge, then up to the tuning peg.

A good shop would probably be willing to show you how to string it if you buy the strings there.

The photo was taken by an AP reporter. That's about as credible a source as you're going to get.

That's a good reason to use an operating system that will never turn over control to a software vendor.

I speak of gnu/linux, of course. Or any of the BSDs. Or any other unix variant. It's true that there is a ton of proprietary software out there that won't run on those, but it's almost always from exploitative companies like Adobe who should be run out of business.

It should have been lifted when it was clear it didn't work. I'm convinced that it was a negotiating position, designed to prevent Russia from escalating.

Debtor's prison is pretty much universally considered a violation of basic human rights. In the US there is even a strong contingent of legal scholars who feel that cash bail cannot be justified.

I apologize I don't have time now to find a source for that.

That's literally the opposite of what "theory" means in a scientific context. You know nothing of science and your opinion is wrong.

HaHaHAH ha... huh?

I can tell you know this, I'm just tacking it on for those who don't:

Why do the nuclei stick together at all, once you've pushed them together? Because the nuclear force, which is attractive instead of repulsive, is just a little bit stronger. OK, so why then doesn't the nuclear force just pull all atoms together? Because it is short range, and only works once the nuclei are "touching."
