We had a furniture store when I was a young teen. Couches were covered and secured the same way with a thick long rubber band. Broken lamps have a hollow threaded rod inside them Upholstery needles in the back were nearly a foot long and about 1/10 of an inch in diameter Leather samples were abundant. So imagine a contraption duck taped together like a slingshot with a barrel.. Did you know a needle a foot long will go clean through a fence board when propelled by 8 strands of heavy rubber bands when utilized by a 13 year old imbecile?

I wonder how that would have played out in court?

Google does too! https://fija.org/library-and-resources/library/jury-nullification-faq/what-is-jury-nullification.html When I retired, I promised to not use big lawyer words if at all avoidable. I guess nullification fits. My apologies -

Escaped murderer tracks down witness and is alone with her. Witness shoots him before he says or makes a threatening gesture. (it could be argued that being escaped and in the same elevator is adequate threat) DA could charge with 1st or 2nd degree Murder, manslaughter ... or... not be charged at the discretion of the DA. Different locales use different terms and the outcome would be very dependent on where you are. And then there is Jury nullification.... -
I wonder how many people routinely carry two guns?
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I almost never carry two guns, but I'm usually at least carrying a knife. -

a question for motorcycle riders
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
so, the answer is no. There are a number of bikes that require more knowledge of starting procedures than I have. I do understand engines though and given time, I believe I could get most running. Try kick starting a Honda 305 Superhawk. professional tip, get a soccer shin guard for your right leg. When your foot slides off during the forward kicking motion, it will drive the pedal and bust you in the shin! -

will vegetable oil prevent rust?

IIRC Ballistol is used for food production machinery as well as about a gajillion other things. It is a mineral oil with various addatives. I hate the smell, but it does its job well -
Lawyer advertising is a large part of why I have retired early. Years ago (late 90's) I had a discussion with a retired Judge about the legal decision allowing lawyers to advertise and I took the position that it was legally correct, but unfortunately lawyers being who and what they are, it would be ripe for abuse and would destroy small firms and solo practitioners. Morgan and Morgan's advertising budget is believed to be between 500 and 600 Million dollars annually. Better lawyers abound, but who can afford to make their presence felt against such spending?
