I prefer to split hares. Then I read the regs.

That's not entirely true. It's state law, not federal law, that prevents felons from voting. In Vermont and Maine, for example, convicted felons can vote while they're still in prison (same as their big Maple Leaf neighbor to the north). In 14 states felons may vote as soon as they are...

Can you imagine having to go through a background check to buy a surfboard, in order to make sure you aren't likely to whack someone over the head with it? Or being prevented from buying one simply because you've been placed on the government's Suspected Rude Surfer Doods Watch List?

Throwing yourself under the bus is one way to go, I guess. Certainly a lot easier than taking on the burden of reading the regulations.

It's definitely about the money. The areas of the UK that voted Remain just happen to be the areas that received the highest amount of financial welfare freebies from the EU. Did you know that the majority of the members of the European Commission (the administration, mid-level, and other...

You've also probably never been in a situation where you wanted to kick soldiers out of your home, but that doesn't mean that you, or more importantly that others, should have the right to do so taken away. The majority of Americans do not own a gun (although 59.9% of North Dakotan households...

I once had a stretch where I did LAX to Phoenix, slept and the next morning took another load from the delivery to LAX. I did that round tripper 9 straight times over 18 days. It was awesome... until that last trip out of LAX. It took 11 hours to get from LAX to San Bernardino. OMG. It was like...

San Diego to LAX, Ontario to LAX... time wise, toss a coin. :D

Those two statements directly contradict each other. Assault rifles are indeed classified as such and are not available for civilian purchase. An assault rifle is an automatic weapon that keeps firing as long as the trigger is depressed, or can be set to Burst.Mode to fire 3 shots with each...

Pedals has his own Facebook page, run by concerned "animal lovers" who want to trap him and "rescue" him and send him to a sanctuary, because of his injured right front leg where he's missing a paw. They have appealed to politicians, the press, as many celebrities as they can think of, and even...

It's like a baseball team having 9 runs on 15 hits. Busy day, but 10 pitchers never even got up in the pen and there are still 5 guys on the bench who haven't even pinch hit. :p

The British pastime of sitting around and making fun of just how dumb and stupid Americans are is a pastime in which they can no longer partake. After voting to Exit, Adam from Manchester right there on live television on the BBC said, "I'm a bit shocked to be honest. I'm shocked that we...

Well, now you've introduced an entirely new premise far beyond that of handing your logbook to a DOT officer at a scale house. Clearly, if there is any question, doubt or reticence, then you should either go ahead and log all the time in case you get a HAZMAT load, or just fill out and sign a...

As doing so is an FMCSA requirement. I think you're right. It is. Or you could just put OOS as they have no reason to doubt you and no way to verify than a driver of an unregulated vehicle was driving. That's why I said if you think you will take another HAZMAT load within 7 days, it's better...

Nope. Not at all. The driver absolutely doesn't have to continue logging after dropping that HAZMAT load. What I'm saying is the same thing the regulations say, namely that your logbook must show the previous 7 days. And it must be accurate. If you weren't required to log at any time during...

They should have kept him on the list, so they would have at least been alerted that someone on the list has purchased a gun. According to the GAO, between 2004 and 2010, people on terrorism watch lists (including the No Fly List as well as other separate lists) attempted to buy guns and...

I think corruption plays a part, but there are 19 different federal agencies that are coming up with criteria and nominating names for the various watch lists (some of which have their own separate lists) that fall under the blanket Terrorist Watch List. The No Fly List is a part of the bigger...

Ever watched Dinner at Tiffany's? It's just a cooking show with Tiffany Amber Thiessen, but it's an awesome title.

We do not disagree on that. Don't disagree on that one either. However, once your 168 clock starts, you are in fact required to account for your time spent working for compensation regardless of what that work might be. Deadheading to pick up a load for compensation is considered performing...

And your medical card. Better have that one, too.
