I’m betting the couple was for it. 

“After all, it’s more of a happy coincidence than anything else that Apollo was a net profit, given Kennedy himself made clear Apollo was about putting the stars and stripes on a space rock before a hammer and sickle.” To say this, is to ignore how technology, much like life, evolves. The same thing could be said…

I have a theory that part of what is turning all these boomer brains to soup is having done this while leaded gas was a thing. 

I have ten for home use that I bought for less than $15 several years ago. The price is just a hilarious insult to the intelligence of their patrons. A bunch of people who claim to be fiscally conservative - whatever that even means anymore - will definitely buy these.

Of this I am aware. Premeditation (i.e. the requisite mens rea for first degree murder in my jurisdiction), is/was quite obvious in this matter. However, as has been pointed out below New York’s system of separating murders into degrees is different than the majority of jurisdictions. My mistake was in not realizing…

I wish this opinion, which is quite popular now, was more prevalent among non-trump supporters four years ago. Instead, I recoiled in horror as the country laughed or cheered this man into the White House. The loss of decorum, the fact that so many people validated the fact that he was running - even if they laughed…

The murder was premeditated. While my critique no longer applies to this case due to the statutory definition of murder in the first degree under New York Penal law, my statement was directed at the prosecutor because there is evidence of premeditation. However, given that premeditation is not how that crime is sorted…

Ok - this makes sense. Thank you!!! (Seriously, thanks for the cite). 
Subsection (x) is the best (only) potential way of bringing a 1st degree charge; and without seeing or knowing the case my general impression it would be a stretch under subsection (x).

Apologies for any ambiguity, but I know this, and this is why I gave my comment. I will address cgee’s comment in a second comment (as it alters my critique as applied to this matter), but the legal district where I live, and the majorty of districts (AFAIK) draw what I find to be an arbitrary line between a crime of…

This dude has only been charged with second degree murder!? He’s got the mens rea for first. Also, second degree is generally a cop-out for a society that enables too much male-centric violence.

I’ll tell you what it’s doing there. 

And there it is. 

Post-post-modernism = lipstick on a pig. It mostly facade to hide how terrible the actual structure is. At least that one has some reasonable windows, there are far greater offenders.

I’ve been fortunate to have mostly benign experiences when being pulled over. The only time I had an aggressive confrontation was when I was rifling around trying to find my registration beforehand. After that, I always kept my wallet out and waited for instructions before I went looking for anything further. My…

This reminds me of Mother Teresa, perhaps she’ll be sainted too. 

Anecdotally, I knew at least five(that I can recall) only children growing up. I wouldn’t characterize any of them as particularly selfish and especially not spoiled. The only weird thing the some of them - to me at least - is at a very early age I knew their parents had tried to have more and that the only child…

For 20k I can get a much newer car with similar, or the same horsepower, one that hasn’t been modded and yet claimed to have been driven gently. CP.

Russia’s actions concerning Chernobyl are more excusable than the U.S.’s concerning Katrina. It’s not like that was the first Hurricane during a cold war where the primary focus was harnessing the power of Hurricanes.
