I think that is at least a strong probability.

Under what circumstances would you feel that a foreign drone strike targeting a terrorist living or operating in the United States was justified and acceptable?
Probably none. But, this is the realm of international relations, of realpolitik. I feel no need to go beyond who, whom.

The conservative fascination with politic violence goes far deeper than just a few "right wing extremist" accounts. This is just what the whole 2A/tree of liberty stuff is about.
I don't think this is quite right. The role of the 2A in both historic and contemporary normiecon consciousness is to provide for the capability of organized (i.e., militia) resistance, not terrorist attacks and political assassinations.

I am not an expert. But I do like "good" coffee. After trying many things, my suggestion is don't over complicate. If you are going to want more than a cup, get a decent but not overly expensive cone filter drip coffee maker, paper filters, and a burr grinder. Otherwise, pourover is good for a single cup. Grind right before brewing and buy small bags of good quality beans so they are as fresh as possible from roasting. Keep it clean.
Beans vary wildly depending on source and roast. You will definitely want to find a local roaster and experiment with different options. My personal favorite right now is a medium-dark Guatemalan.
As with wine, there is no accounting for taste. I'm sure there are experts who would find what I like shallow and pedantic, and there is supposedly great coffee I don't much care for. But nobody can tell me I'm wrong! What's fun is trying different things and seeing what things you like or dislike have in common. Someday I may try roasting myself, supposedly it isn't too difficult.
I also am skeptical that this will obviously backfire. I think I have to admit that disgusting as it is, this is a pretty big win for the left, as Kirk was unusually successful at grassroots organizing and reaching young people. There will be 15 minutes of outrage obviously, but his effective work, which might have continued for decades, is done permanently.

How do we know this? I'm skeptical about taking your word for it.

Is this when you are traveling overseas? Perhaps you are just getting a mild respiratory infection from cold viruses you are not accustomed to.

I read Jules Verne's book Village in the Treetops and enjoyed it immensely. This was my first Jules Verne novel and I was amazed how similar the writing was to that of Michael Creighton from a century later.

In multiple cases, they were awarded large sums of taxpayer money for even having been arrested

Same here. Big crowds blocks away from me. I listened to the panicked voices on the police scanner as the police officers attempted to hold the line at the village border and were overrun, and sat on my balcony with a weapon ready. Felt bad.

No less than HRC herself claimed that W Bush was "selected, not elected".

I just bought a Tesla, and I didn't find any of the other American market very competitive on price, and none of them offered FSD.

Just give police their nightsticks back. A poke in the back or a tap on the shins is enough to motivate most people to move along while discouraging the impulse to fight back.

either the agenda is unpopular and they know it, or they don’t have an agenda to run on.
It's also a credibility issue. You can only run on building infrastructure or fixing Healthcare and then fail to do it so many times before voters conclude you are either lying or incompetent. Ironically Trump benefited from being outside the establishment in this regard, as while he didn't have any credibility in delivering government results, he at least didn't have the stink of repeated failure to deliver that both parties have accumulated.
This is the I think accurate point the abundance bros are making: it's not actually enough to be in favor of things people want, you have to execute as well. And simply allocating funding doesn't count as executing!
Intellectually I can't argue against doom, but I have faith in a special Providence that protects fools, children, and the United States of America.

Yes, I own a home with a garage. I will need to upgrade the circuit for full speed home charging but it's not a big deal. I would probably pay cash or mostly cash. I'm just having a hard time figuring the opportunity cost of not buying sooner due to difficulty estimating the savings of driving old car and being unsure how much the price will actually rise.

No but every comparable I've looked at is the same price or higher.

Should I buy a Model 3? I own a 2012 Fusion with 128,000 miles that runs fine but is almost 15 years old. The $7500 EV credit is expiring in September, so assuming that I like the Model 3 and it meets my needs, should I buy one before then or try to milk this Fusion another few years? It seems like really good value for the money right now, but I'm uncertain how much of the tax credit removal will be eaten by Tesla and how much will go into a straight price increase
Any decent coffee shop will grind whole beans for you at time of purchase.
