    I like the flat tax idea because it taxes foreign made goods that use accounting methods to book income (and taxes) overseas.

    Best Ballistic Software for Apple Macbook?

    With the caveat that I've not had my Kestral out in a good while and I'm sure there have been a number of software updates... Yes - you can always manually enter Density Altitude, temperature, etc. It will then default to those numbers until you decide to update.

    What stocks are you trading today

    Except they are grossly under performing the S&P 500. Negative 7.9% Vs +29% respectively over the past year.

    I have rabbit ears hooked up behind my smart TV for when the high speed internet goes out. Works good enough to get the 3 local networks and misc others. Or did the last time I needed it anyway...

    Delta or United direct to Jo'Burg

    Delta refines their own jet fuel so there's that. (Not an expert on the matter, but it’s been mentioned on the business news.)

    Solid answer IMO, whether you like him or not.

    Parking in front of your own house would not bother me in the slightest. Maybe that's what you prefer - or need. How about if your neighbor blocked you from doing that day after day?

    Politics

    A friend used to live in a really nice neighborhood in Houston (based on house sizes, build quality, etc). No HOA. His next door neighbor apparently had multiple grown children move in with them. Possibly others as well because they had so many cars the street was always crowded. And he...

    Concealed Carry: Your EDC

    The DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster(s) is another option. I've used them for many years. First with a S&W M38 Bodyguard and currently (past two years) with the Sig P365. Even Amazon carries.

    Concealed Carry: Your EDC

    Reliability trumps everything else. I prefer pocket carry and the suitable, i.e., really small 9mm's from the late 90s to a few years ago just weren't 100% reliable - for me. As a result I front pocket carried a Model 38 S&W Airweight Bodyguard. More recently I found the Sig P365 (3.1") does...

    Brilliant! Practice For A Charging Buffalo

    How fast is a startled bull from a dead stop? How long do you have to reload and get back on target - including coming out of recoil? Assume the timer starts at the first shot. Just my $.02 guess at how to set up a scenario where shot #2 is the only one that matters. ~2.7 seconds if starting...

    Not a god speech at all, IMO. Usual start - i.e. Trump talking about how great Trump is. Usual vocabulary as well: Best the world has ever seen, nothing like it, greatest ever (more or less same as always). He (Really!) needs a speech writer. Sad.
