A lot of things suck, but setting up your withholding is easy, and in 30 years of paying taxes, I've never accidentally withheld too little.

I rode one for a while in college.

Didn't really help with the sweat problem between April and October in Texas. Or was less work than pedaling, but nothing aside from air conditioning helps with the sweat issue in Texas summer heat.

The marketing guys said it could do both.

That's a weird thing I've seen in my life. Of the 5 most loud, vocal Trump supporters I know, 3 are lesbians. It's weird.

Arrive to work soaked in sweat because it's been 100+ degrees every day for the past 8 weeks.

It depends on the organization.

I'm part of the Texas Municipal Retirement System. I put 7% of my salary into TMRS, and th city double-matches that, so I've got 21% going into the pension annually.

When I retire, the pension pays me according to what I put in and what I make the last 5 years of my career. Each member city that I've worked at contributes to my pension until I doe according to how long I've worked there.

The biggest thing to understand about a pension versus a 401k is that you can't cash out on a pension. When I retire, I'll get paid the rest of my life and even get raises, but I won't have a huge pile of money I can pull out or give to my heirs.

On the flip side, I don't run the risk of outliving my savings.

Because you'll get delayed again. I knew someone who got delayed every time, and it never came back within 30 days. He eventually got a license to carry because having one allows the dealer to skip the NICS check.

I do not know and will never try to find out.

Buy them now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Patel starts quietly adding registered Democrats to NICS (federal background check database). Even worse would be them making Dems get a "delay" response instead of a "deny" or "proceed".

A delay is supposed to be used when more research is required, and happens for things like having a common name (e.g. "John Smith" or "Jose Sanchez"). When you get a NICS delay, the gun can't be sold, at that time. You can sell a gun on a delay after 72 hours if it doesn'tcome back as a deny, but most chains have a policy to wait for a proceed. The thing is, lots of times the proceed takes more than 30 days, at which point the background check is invalid. They're only good for 30 days from the initial request, not the response.

Why is a delay worse than a deny? You can't appeal a delay or research why it happened. Since you aren't actually on the prohibited persons list, you can't be removed from it.

He's also about to fire all the JAGS, so they can court-martial anyone who isn't a loyalist and pardon war criminals who are.

The thing is, we can't control for who is bad most of the time. People get murdered with guns every day, and it's all by people who passed background checks or who acquired them by buying them on a secondary market.

They can also dismiss you for saying you intend to declare guilt no matter what.

A juror deciding a verdict before hearing the case should be dismissed.
