Not sure if this will convince you or not

I don't think I worded my original post properly because I feel convinced already. I was just looking for a way to measure up the effects of this idea. If we are a country dependent on importing goods and we make them more expensive, it stands to reason that we either stop getting those goods (doesn't seem easy...) OR we just deal with the price, and that doesn't seem easy either.

I just thought this is odd... like if I wanted to propose a tax on bicycles, we could talk how many bicycles there are in the USA, if this would make sense, etc. but that's an actual discussion. Most of the people in this thread are just asserting it's a bad idea and either don't know the "why" themselves, or just don't want to say.

If you make an analogy, then have to explain the thing you are comparing the first thing with, what is the point of the analogy?

The explanation is about as redundant as a third wheel. You know, the awkward extra person tagging along with a couple on a date.

Tho I think people from 70s would very much still choose 2025 living over 70s. People really underestimate how much better we have now.

Couldn't I yearn for a time that has neither the bad points of 1970 and none of the bad points from 2025? Not everything was worse in the 1970s, and not everything was better, either.

Despite the scale of the incident, Russian officials have offered limited information, with regional governor Aleksandr Avdeev confirming a “blast” but threatening penalties for spreading unofficial reports.

Man, the USA can be a shit show, but at least we can spread unofficial reports whenever we like.

Should probably pardon everyone convicted of taking money under the table and smoking crack as well, but that would require a consistent moral character. I wouldn't hold my breath. He doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Some additional context: RFK proposed these farms will be funded by sales tax on cannabis products. Whether you consider that government funded or not is up to you.

For what reason the news doesn’t highlight that type of stuff and instead focuses on whatever they focus on, I have no idea.

Easy, they want outrage. Biden following through on some mundane promise made some time ago riles up exactly no one, therefore it doesn't get a headline. Modern media is extremely predictable in their approach.

Err... the US is a constitutional federal republic, not a direct democracy. So, the answer is: N/A

Not specifically browser settings, but in Windows and Linux you should have access to a per application mixer and can reduce / mute the volume of your browser to zero.

  • Disassembling the wheel: To do this, you'll need a screwdriver that fits the size of the screws holding the wheel in place. You should find them around the axle on the side where the wheel connects to the luggage. There might be more than one screw, so make sure you unscrew all of them. Once the screws are removed, gently pull out the wheel by applying pressure on both sides of the axle until it comes free. Be careful not to damage the wheel or its surrounding parts as you disconnect it.

  • Removing the inner components: After removing the outer casing (the part we see when the wheel is attached to the luggage), you'll have access to the inner workings of the wheel. The center hub should still be connected to the metal shaft, which is what makes the wheel rotate. This part may be stuck because of the accumulated dirt and grime. To separate them, apply some penetrating oil to the joint where the hub connects to the shaft. Wait for about 30 minutes before attempting to take apart these pieces.

  • Cleaning: Now that the inner components are separated, use a small brush and some warm soapy water to scrub away any remaining debris and grime. Rinse the parts with clean water, making sure no soap remains. Leave the wheel parts to dry fully before reassembling them.

  • Reassembly: When the parts are completely dry, reverse the process you followed to remove them, putting everything back together. Lubricate the shaft and hub connection with some light grease to prevent further gunk build-up. Make sure the nut on the shaft is tight enough but don't overdo it, as this could damage the threads.

  • Final assembly: Put the outer casing back onto the wheel, and then securely fasten the screws to attach it to your luggage again. Test the wheel by rolling the luggage around. It should now turn smoothly without any resistance from the built-up grime.

You aren't missing shit. This is the correct interpretation of the law. Most of the posters here assume this legislation is the equivalent of a hunting license for homeless, which couldn't be further from the truth. This affects only violent trespassers who have already been advised of their trespassing and displayed violence. Anyone randomly gunning down people who step on their property will have to convince a jury it was in compliance with this regulation.

I didn't express good OR bad. I just listed some of the things that were done.
