    Cost of college increased 260% while inflation only pushed CPI 120%. The state used to fund a far greater portion of public universities. Those costs are now being passed on to students. A higher interest rate is bad, but it's not so terrible when your principle amount is less than half of what it would be today. Nevermind that wage growth is effectively stagnant over the last couple decades, further undermining the ability of student borrowers to pay off their education debt.

    While states may have decreased funding, colleges have greatly expanded their bureaucracy and force students to pay for much more. In addition to much nicer dorms and stuff that cost much much more.

  2. It's a Traditions rawhide in .357 with a 4.75" barrel. Made by Pietta. It was an impulse buy several years ago because it was pretty cheap. Decent action after I had to do a little work on the cylinder bolt. It locks up well now and hasn't given me any issues.

  3. Finished a new holster. It's a three way holster I designed myself, because who doesn't like a three way?

    This is what the back looks like. You can see the belt slots that go between the two pieces of leather on the back here.

    In addition to wearing it like a traditional western holster with the belt going in between the body of the holster and the skirt, these slots allow it to be worn like this for a high strong side carry:

    Or like this for small or back carry:

    is the current fire big dongle thing any good?  destroyed my old fire stick because it was a slow piece of shit. 

    We have one of the dangly square things and it works well enough, although it is likely breeding a deep set hatred of Daniel Tiger.

  5. You have an equivocal fallacy here and seem to be trying to shift the burden of proof in your example. I do not accept your burden of proof. If you want to assert that, you provide the evidence for your claim. But don't try and slide that shit onto someone else

     

    Have you not made the claim that the reason you don't believe anything supernatural exists is because no evidence has met the burden of proof that it does exist? If you are using that as your logic for believing that it does not exist (instead of saying that you can't know whether it exists or not) then you must then use that same logic for other things that do not meet the burden of proof for existence. I mean, you don't have to, but if you are going to try and pass yourself off as intelligent you do.

  6. There are a lot of pads like the Thermarest NeoAir out there these days that pack down super small and provide plenty of support with a decent R value. They aren't self inflating, however the stuff bag is usually designed to be used as a pump to inflate them. If space is an issue, I would seriously consider one of those. That style pad is what most backpackers these days are using.

    Much better to make populous states vassal states. 

    The ironic thing is that rural states would benefit most from socialism. A socialist can bring them jobs and welfare.  Instead all they get is an earful of fearmongering regarding everything.  

    Slaves had jobs too. What are you trying to argue?
