Steam allows games that let people role play being a pervert on a Japanese train. I’m not sure they’ll take action on this.

The British anti smuggling operations were largely ineffective before and during the war. Dutch tea wasn’t particularly uncommon. Of the rich smugglers of Boston the most notable was John Hancock, who by all accounts was quite philanthropic with his wealth.

Really good write up summary of the event for anyone interested. There’s also an audio version of it.

I like most of the changes he did but he really should have kept the original with this one.

America didn’t really win either war but got independence

We call that winning when it comes to wars of independence.

Fun entomology fact: The modern understanding of the word is directly connected to the people of that continent. But for the success of the American revolution, you might be deeply offended to be called patriotic.

The overturn of Chevron is only significant in that courts, particularly lower appeals courts, won’t be forced to accept agency interpretations on law. They still can if that’s the better of the two. It’s a big development in APA law but it is just on how laws get reviewed when contested.

Having not looked into the drug scheduling system much I can’t say for certain on that particular topic. But I wouldn’t be shocked if something like an interpretation on paraphernalia by the DEA got shot down.

If you want some good from the Loper Bright case keep in mind that it limits new presidents from coming in and appointing biased ‘experts’ to agencies to create new interpretation of law to aid their causes. This is a double edged sword. But I think with time we willl benefit from the end of the practice and we will settle in to a more stable set of administrative rulings that doesn’t shift every 4 years.

They considered themselves to be Englishmen, and have the rights of one, even after the Battle of Bunker Hill for some time. Also you’re thinking of Sam Adams, who was a brewer. But Franklin is pretty much dead on the money. Didn’t even wear a wig just showed up all slovenly and slayed.

The blade was inside a sheath and could be released from the sheath with the press of a button.

And approached could simply be he was intent on walking past them on the sidewalk.

Brandish is a stretch nothing in that article noted an intent to intimidate others, it is simple possession of a tchotchke. Unless you count the author’s flavor text.
