  1. https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Does-DoorDash-have-auto-insurance?language=en_US

     

    If they were on an "active" delivery it sounds like you could take it up with DoorDash.

     

    Maybe... last line of that policy was as expected. "If you fail to maintain your own insurance, DoorDash's coverage may not apply."

     

    As other's have said, Uninsured/Underinsured coverage should be the go to with this. IF they are able to recover anything from the at fault party, they will reimburse for the deductible. Just used this for my last SHO with the underinsured portion. Accident was 9/7/21 and I just got my deductible back last week.

  2. Been great. A lot of good memories, a lot of good information and interesting conversations allowing to see things from others viewpoints. Going to be a missed part of my morning routine. I signed up for Discord but have not used it much and I got rid of Facebook.
  3.  

    Ranks right up there with the tests we are being given at work. First we were picking them up at local libraries about 6 at a time and responsible for storing them till use. Now they come from the health department but we are still given them about 6 at a time. They are supposed to be stored at a controlled temperature. They expired in early September. They were given a 90 day extension. We are still using them. They were originally done over video with a proctor. The company will no longer accept them. So now we just do them by ourselves and send a picture to HR showing the negative test. Multiple times they have had the opposite results of other tests taken the same day.

  4. There are so many options out there for the F150. I don't know the names of all of them. I know there is Bambi mode, screen settings within Sync and a few other things. Would like to change up and add a few settings.

     

    You can look on the forum or facebook group or you can google for the spreadsheet for your vehicle. The Taurus sheet was fairly nice and had some descriptions of what the most common options were. There are so many, I still don't know what some of them are.

     

    If you haven't already, make sure you get a copy of your As-Built data and save it. Then, I highly recommend saving a copy after every set of revisions/changes (I just use the vehicle and date for the file name). I would only make a couple changes and then use the truck for a couple days. You will come across some weird anomalies sometimes. For example, I changed my lane change flashes from 3 to 7. Worked except my left turn signal would not turn off automatically when turning (not lane change), I had to manually trigger the right and then they both would go off. I also have an aftermarket module for the DRL from DriveBrite Lights that does not play well with some settings.

     

    Try sticking with the built in changes until you get used to it, then move on to making the hexadecimal changes.

  5. Get a judge public defender...then self defense 410 ammo for it.

    Almost no kick and you don't have to hit dead on.

     

    I second this. I have one sitting on the headboard. .410 Self defense from Winchester (PDX1) in a 2.5" shell has 3 copper discs and 12 BB's with a decent pattern. With a 4-10" penetration in ballistics gel, they are not over penetrating and with the nice spread, it is great for a hallway gun. It is not the most comfortable to carry especially on someone with a smaller frame. Another advantage is the key lock safety built in for when you are not using it and want to lock it out from prying little hands.

     

    I personally carry it for CCW sometimes and like that I can take the .410 shells out and load 45LC JHP for when I am more concerned about the spread.

  6. For best viewing, I would recommend a lip under each tire or a low mount around the axle going into a stud. Then I would suggest a chain to the high point of the axle into a stud. This will allow it to tilt out from the wall slightly and make it viewable almost as if you were standing over it. If you don't go into a stud, they make a drywall anchor called toggler. 1/4-20 in 1/2" drywall is rated at 200lb each. One at each of the 4 anchor points should be plenty.
  7. One thing A state or a municipality does have to have in order to tax though is some justified standing for the tax. States, counties, and municipalities cannot tax residents of states they do not govern. They can also not double tax (although prior to 2015 they could).

     

    The fight over where to tax work from home people is really just a fight between municipalities about who gets to tax workers, and one of the justifications for taxing them where they live is that they have representation in that municipality and it would be unjust to tax them where they don't have representation. Whether that argument holds true is up to the courts to decide.

     

    This is where I find it confusing. You are being taxed at the site of work and the site of residency. They are taxing a resident they don't govern (based on home address, I don't think someone that lives just across the border gets out of Ohio income tax if they work within the state. That is someone they don't govern on a bigger scale). They are also double taxing because you pay the income tax at both locations. It doesn't seem right but, I am guessing there is a "justification" somewhere. As far as using the services (roads, sidewalks, emergency services, etc.), so does every person that visits but, they get taxed on sales not something they are already taxed on elsewhere. Might seem more reasonable if only one municipality could tax you on your income.

  8.  

    Same article: "Lima, for example, gets $20 million of its approximately $28 million general revenue fund from the municipal income tax. Sixty percent comes from non-residents."

     

    Over half of the income is from people who cannot vote on the people in office, tax rates, usage, etc. In addition, they may use some of the services but other services (one example, Westerville has a community center with gym, park, etc) they have to pay a higher non resident rate or are not allowed to use because they are not a resident.

     

    Just seems not quite right.

  9. Having moved to Ohio later in life, the concept of Municipality taxes was new to me. One thing I have never understood is the "taxation without representation". We pay where we work and where we live yet we can only vote where we live. So you get no vote in tax rates or usage. You often don't get the benefits from those taxes (as far as community centers and other resident benefits). I never understood (or at least heard of) why there wasn't a legal challenge about this.
  10. For ammo, I have been having good luck with Rural King (in person) lately. I picked up Green Tip 5.56 by Aguila for $0.55/round. They had various other 5.56 for $0.44/round. They had all different calibers available and there was no limit on purchases. Website shows out of stock but in store, they had quite a few options.
  11. No, because that's not how trials work.

     

    Maybe not literally but just like with any competition, there are defining moments that are why the win occurred. I would say this is a pretty heavy blow that will probably (and should) define the outcome of this charge.

  12. I have only posted the applicable parts of the minor in possession law. Please feel free to look the whole thing up. This section (minor in possession) only applies if you are violating 941.28 (short barrel rifle) which he wasn't or if you are not compliant with 29.304 (applies to those 16 and under, he was 17) or 29.593 (applies to hunting, which he was not doing).

     

    948.60  Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

    (1)  In this section, “dangerous weapon" means any firearm, loaded or unloaded; any electric weapon, as defined in s. 941.295 (1c) (a); metallic knuckles or knuckles of any substance which could be put to the same use with the same or similar effect as metallic knuckles; a nunchaku or any similar weapon consisting of 2 sticks of wood, plastic or metal connected at one end by a length of rope, chain, wire or leather; a cestus or similar material weighted with metal or other substance and worn on the hand; a shuriken or any similar pointed star-like object intended to injure a person when thrown; or a manrikigusari or similar length of chain having weighted ends.

    (2) 

    (a) Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

     

    © This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593. This section applies only to an adult who transfers a firearm to a person under 18 years of age if the person under 18 years of age is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593 or to an adult who is in violation of s. 941.28.

     

    941.28  Possession of short-barreled shotgun or short-barreled rifle.

    (1)  In this section:

    (a) “Rifle" means a firearm designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder or hip and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of a propellant in a metallic cartridge to fire through a rifled barrel a single projectile for each pull of the trigger.

    (b) “Short-barreled rifle" means a rifle having one or more barrels having a length of less than 16 inches measured from closed breech or bolt face to muzzle or a rifle having an overall length of less than 26 inches.

     

    29.304  Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age.

     

    29.593  Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval.

  13. Sure it is a definition issue. You have chosen to interpret "shall not be infringed" as meaning any kind of restriction, where as every single legislator, jurist, and court (including the framers of the constitution) that has ever considered legal issues related to firearmsl has defined infringement as an absolute ban.

     

    Also there is a whole body of constitutional law that advocates of the 2nd amendment continently ignore which says constitutional amendments are not absolute and have never been absolute. Federal, State, and local governments can write laws that restrict constitutional rights as long as they pass the strict scrutiny test.

     

     

    If you want to ignore all of American legal history, and piss on the constitution by redefining "infringed" your own way instead of how it has been treated this entire time I guess that is your first amendment right, but it doesn't mean it's true.

     

    Or as you stated a "de facto" ban. Hence again, why this very issue is in front of the Supreme Court at this very moment.

  14. This brings up another interesting question: If you bring a firearm into a store that prohibits it, you are technically trespassing which is a crime. The argument is there that there will be an increase of non-violent crime directly related to this law.

     

    False. Ohio law provides that a person who knowingly violates a posted

    prohibition of a parking lot or other parking facility is not guilty of

    criminal trespass, but is liable for a civil cause of action for trespass.

     

    But let me ask this - what about the future state? Sure the change goes into effect now and you have owners who have had to be responsible and in some cases have training, but what about the kids who turn 18 a year from now and don't have that training?

     

    First, 21 is the legal age in Ohio. You cannot purchase a handgun until then and providing a gun to someone under 21 except in limited situations is a crime. Second, 18 year olds can exercise all of their other constitutional rights and at 21 have total freedom to do anything. Vote, consume tobacco and alcohol, drive, etc. Why should there be a limit on this one right. Third, everyone that turns 18 tomorrow, regardless of training or not, can go buy and possess a long gun. Everyone that turns 21 tomorrow can buy and possess a handgun, again, regardless of training. It is literally only the act of concealing that weapon that is being restricted by this law.

  15. how many days per week? How many weeks per semester? nobody said it had to be 8 hours all at once.

     

    My school was inline with what O'Doyle stated. It was 1 period - 45 minutes... that's it. Not 1 period every day, every semester, etc. It was a very short part of human biology. My school was more worried about every minority group had their own club, sports, teaching to the test, etc. Since there is no state test, license, etc. they didn't spend much time on it.

     

    b) 33 states require counseling prior to an abortion, and the majority of those require a 24 hour waiting period between counseling and the procedure. so yeah, I guess it is "okay" since 33 is a majority of states.

     

    How many of those states require a license to get one? A test? 8 hours of counseling and a proficiency test? From what I read, many of them are just a requirement to provide the information. Much like they are required to provide HIPAA information. You are not required to accept them, read them, comprehend them. Some of them don't even have to be given in person. Basically it becomes like a Terms of Service agreement... scroll to the bottom, check a box, move on.

     

    This is wishful thinking on your part, or rather it is your opinion of how you think things should be not a statement of fact about the law. The reality is that the requirement of taking a CCW class is not a direct violation of the second amendment and you will not find any previous jurisprudence, holding, statute, or any binding legal document that will support this at all. Even the 2008 supreme court case Dc vs Heller, which establishes the right to keep and bear arms for self defense, recognizes that states have a right to regulate firearms so long as it is not a de facto ban, which a CCW is clearly not.

     

    Please explain how making a financial requirement, testing, time, travel, licensing, etc requirement does not constitute an infringement. You have to pay a fee to take the class. You have to pay a fee to get your picture taken. You have to pay a fee for the application. You have to pay for the picture again every 5 years. You have to pay for the application again every 5 years. You have to pass the test (which is essentially pointless). Most people that work a 9-5 have to take time off work to meet the limited schedule that applying is allowed. You have to make your way to one location per county or surrounding county. All this talk about voter ID laws and how hard it is to get a license, the cost, difficulty getting to those sites and how it infringes on a constitutional right equally apply to the constitutional right to own and BEAR arms. There is a reason it is called constitutional carry. As far as DC vs Heller, CCW depending how it is enacted is a de facto ban. Hence why areas like Illinois have such low CCW rates and why there is a case right now in front of the Supreme Court challenging New York's restrictive law (similar to 7 other states).

     

    It may sound odd me being a teacher and all, but the guy who could barely read still passed the test. It's not a reading test, it's a firearms safety test. If the dude knows the correct answers, then he knows the correct answers.

     

    I think the fact that the one guy could barely read is detracting from the point. From the sounds of what he is saying (and what I have experienced both times I took the class) the instructor either reads the question and everyone says the answer out loud or it goes around the room with one person reading and answering out load and everyone stating agreed or the correct answer. In other words it is not a test, it is a can you circle the letter that everyone says exercise.

     

    How do the criminals get guns? Legal owner carelessness plays a big part in how criminals get gun, and with an increase in the number of weapons being carried you are just naturally going to see an increase in the number of weapons that legal owners lose to criminals, even if the rate doesn't change.

     

    Can you please direct me to some research on this? From what I have read, it is mostly straw purchases and stolen weapons that are used to commit crimes.

     

    more control won't help

     

    I agree 100% hence why 5 of the top 10 states with the highest public safety (according to US News) are constitutional carry states. Meanwhile places like Chicago, with very restrictive laws have extremely high gun crime. Florida's homicide rate was 118-157% of the national average from 1975-1986. In 1987 the reformed and reduced their gun laws. By 1991 their homicide rate was 4% below the national average. At the end of the day, laws only infringe on the rights of law abiding citizens. Criminals are not going to pay attention to laws and it has been proven through multiple studies criminals fear an armed victim.

     

    and yet somehow 3900 people failed to pass or had their CCW revoked

     

    No system is perfect. Denials account for less than 1% of applications. Revocations account for less than 0.5% of licensed individuals.

     

     

    All of this also only applies to CCW as was stated before. There is no class, test, or license required to buy a gun and carry it. For some reason it becomes a big deal as soon as your tshirt falls over your gun. Now violent crime is going to sky rocket, your going to lose your gun in a bathroom and innocent people will be harmed.

  16. So your examples are mostly Pundit sources (not news sources) practicing brinkmanship? Can you really say any of these people speak for the whole of one political side, and if so, does that mean that Hannity and Tucker speak for all conservatives?

     

    Sounds like you are giving "the media" a pass for the action that most people are angry with the media about, just because it convenient for you.

     

    CNN employees, Washington Post employees, AP Employees, NPR, YouTube, what were you expecting, a nationwide poll of self proclaimed leftists? Many of these were stated on news sources and not refuted by their employers (which they usually due quickly if they disagree or feel it varies from their viewers/readers opinion). As typical with many people, you disagreed with a point and said show me it is happening and that you are not making it up. I showed you and now you want more proof. It is happening a lot, it is well documented. If you choose to not believe it, so be it.

  17. Can you explain your source for this? because from my vantage point most people really don't give a shit. Like at all.

     

    Is this one of those things where the trolls are so amused that they are trolling all the imaginary people in their head that make up their idea of the "left"?

     

    -Liberal CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart managed to compare the anti-Biden rallying cry "Let’s Go Brandon" to coded rhetoric from Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and ISIS in one tweet as corporate media continued its meltdown over the chant.

     

    -Asha Rangappa, the analyst and senior lecturer at Yale’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, took to Twitter to consider how the pilot’s alleged comment would be received if he had said, "Long live ISIS" instead. "My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours," she posted. (In reference to pilot stating "Let's Go Brandon! at the end of his in flight speech"

     

    -A few CNN analysts added to the onslaught. Juliette Kayyem, for instance, suggested substance abuse may account for the pilot's conduct. "Yes pilot conduct. His words reflect possibility of anger management or substance abuse. It is worth asking," Kayyem tweeted.

     

    -"Its pilots now giving the 'f*ck you Biden' or 'let's go Brandon' GOP line during the flight," Will Bunch, an opinion columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, tweeted. "I've always loved flying Southwest. Don't plan on doing it ever again."

     

    -"Vulgarity stand-in from ⁦@SouthwestAir cockpit," Washington Post editor Cathleen Decker wrote while AP’s Colleen Long nearly got kicked off the flight. "TFW you’re trying to go on vacation and then the pilot says the very thing you’re working on over the loud speaker and you have to try to get him comment but then almost get removed from plane," Long wrote Saturday.

     

    -NPR labeled the term "vulgar" and CNN’s Edward-Issac Dovere was so offended by the phrase that he called it "an inside joke telling the president of the United States to perform a sexual act on himself."

     

    -Washington Post reporters Ashley Parker and Carissa Wolf wrote on what they considered "vitriol" from Biden critics in a piece titled "Biden’s critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts." The article claimed, "The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread" than anything seen in previous administrations.

     

    -Rapper Bryson Gray announced on Twitter Thursday that his music video poking fun at President Joe Biden was removed from YouTube due to "medical misinformation." "Why is the most censored rapper in the country someone that doesn’t even curse in songs?" Gray told Fox News. "Why can you rap about murder, sex, and drugs but when I rap about questioning the government I get banned? Is this still America?"

     

    Enough examples?

     

    Liberals spent years applauding and celebrating vulgar rhetoric aimed at former President Donald Trump. Robert de Niro once received a standing ovation from the glamorous Hollywood crowd attending the Tony Awards by simply uttering, "f—k Trump."

     

    Critics of Trump also threatened to blow up the White House, posed with a mock severed head of the former president, and celebrated his fictional assassination in an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."

  18. Did you know elons salary in 2018 was $56380, so your math is off.

    He is building the value of his company instead of taking cash (yes he gets paid in stock also)

    People be thinking he has $448B sitting in a vault with him swimming in it like scrooge mcduck, but the wealth he has is a business that produces jobs and goods.

     

    First, I used his income from 2021 as I stated. Second, as Geeto67 stated, his salary is not all of his income. Much like you have to declare your salary and then all other income, so should he. When you look at goals that he met and entitled him to $100B in stock options, that is home his personal wealth went from $24B to $151B in one year. So through loop holes, he paid $70k in taxes for 2015-2017 and $0 in 2018. Meanwhile, his lowest paid employees (Production assistants) earning $39k per year ($18.75/hr) paid $34k in the same time frame.
