No. If a witness is relevant, they can call them. Rules for Congressional hearings aren't strict at all. Really, nonexistent. But note the "Part 1" on the hearing title. Hopefully Graves gets hauled up next hearing.

Yeah, you're gonna need to make your own, they're just not a thing around here. As others have mentioned, asian supermarkets usually have raw peanuts.

Aluminum fatigues with every stress cycle, getting more brittle until it just snaps. Steel is much more ductile, meaning as long as its max strain loads aren't exceeded that repeated stress won't fatigue the metal at all. You can drive aluminum for a long time, sure, but eventually it will just snap. Steel won't ever just snap from cyclical loading.

No, carbon frames and aluminum frames wear out with use and eventually break. Steel doesn't. You have to make sure to keep it painted so that surface rust doesn't go through the frame, but in terms of long term durability no other bike is close. I mean, I'm riding my mother's old college bike from the 70s several times a week, and it's still in perfect shape. Try that shit with carbon.

As somebody else who's been here for 11 years, can confirm, your soul is confiscated at 8.5 years. Am now bot.

They did NOT pursue in that case. The driver fled the stop at high speed and crashed even without the pursuit.

Yeah, I opened expecting to read another Bijan Ghaisar story. But, uh, wow. This ain't that.

The ADL's number one issue is protecting the apartheid regime in Israel. Please don't give them money.

> It was this bill or nothing for years,

No. It would have been extremely easy to modify or remove the few provisions that people didn't like and pass a completely non controversial bill. And that option is still available!

> The point of the proposed bill wasn’t to reduce crime!

Yes, that was very clear.

The Haupt Garden (of which the Moongate Garden is one segment) behind the Castle is the prime location in DC.

They're all in NoVA or Maryland, DC only has one rink and it's a complete joke with zero adult hockey programming. But if you'll have a car it's more than doable. The best option will depend greatly on where in the region you'll be staying.

There are people who are fundamentally incapable of functioning in society and should never be allowed to breathe free air ever again.

If you would threaten to kill a middle schooler to take their shoes, you are one of those people.

Carrying a gun around creates an elevated risk of harm to everyone in the vicinity. A latent threat of violence is still harmful to a peaceful society, even if that threat is not ultimately acted upon.

Carrying something whose primary intended use is to kill other human beings without overwhelming need is something that a functional society quite justly punishes. Just say you're afraid of black people.

> Sure it’s illegal to have a gun in DC, but if he didn’t brandish it or use it against anyone, did he really need to be thrown in jail?

Look, he just had a sarin bomb but didn't actually set it off, can't we just give the man a break?

> Do they not care?

No.

>Does anyone care?

Well, seems like two of you do. Nobody else gives a shit about parking on the grass on what's pretty damn far from a pristine environment.

I stand corrected.

> the required offstreet parking space

That only applies to multi unit buildings, not rowhouses.

People here have cars, bro. Traffic is a nightmare.

> Sometimes they let kayakers in.

Wait, what? And how can I get a canoe appointment?

Then why does every city agency behave exactly as if it is?

> He'd rather have written that family a ticket than have them just follow the rules when told.

Because the primary point of all of these rules is revenue.

But yesterday I was told that gun store owners aren't nutjobs and love cooperating with police to make sure no guns are ever trafficked!

> because they know most people are out of the house for one reason or another

Uh, that has not been the case for the last three or so years.

I live EotR, bro. Note the Marshall Heights flair? And I'm not talking about where I would picnic, I'm saying that's where a lot of people do picnic. Anacostia park is beautiful and I bike the ART multiple times a week during good weather (remember when we used to have daylight?) But if you go to Hanes Point, there are a huge number of people who picnic there, and have been picnicking there for years. Are you going to tell them that they can't, and that they should stick to their own park on the other side of the river?
