Louder Than Bombs is in my Top 25 albums of all time. Marr is kind of an afterthought (in some ways) as the guitar stuff sounds pretty straight forward, but the shit he's doing on guitar is incredibly complex.

I'm the jackass that thought DinoJr was coming to Pier 6. Oh, hey, you a reader? This is one of the best music books I've ever read.

No. But I've played this game before and it's like D&D Lite. http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Castle-Ravenloft-Board/dp/0786955570

I was skeptical at first but it ended up being pretty fun.

But $54 seems a bit much.

More on Hinton: Baltimore Sun Story says Hinton was one of the top lieutenants for a drug lord. Page 1, Page 2. Some of the Sun article also appears in the book "Street Legends, Volume 1". But looking around, the guy seems to have turned his life around, and he really does have love and admiration for Warnock for being a mentor to him.

These could be false morels, though I hope they aren't and you can eat a yummy meal. I would check them out on multiple sites and make a shroomery account. Also, if you plan to hunt often, Mushrooms Demystified and the Audubon Society's Mushroom Field Guide are both very necessary guides.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

would recommend the following:

Kathryn Edin wrote a book about this. The tl;dr I got from it is that in general, the women she interviewed wanted to have kids, that they thought having kids would be a motivation to adapt to the responsibility, and that many thought their fathers could and would straighten out.

Just please take a look at this comedy gold:

I don't disagree, but also the market was vastly different when Adidas and Puma were on top.

BTW, if you want to read more on this stuff (because I find it fascinating) I cannot recommend this book enough

https://www.amazon.com/Sneaker-Wars-Brothers-Founded-Business/dp/0061246581

If throwing money at problems solved them then the Baltimore and DC school system would be the best in the country.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Elusive-Quest-Growth-Misadventures/dp/0262550423

That book is all about how foreign aid money does not actually cause economic benefit. Throwing money at things usually doesnt work and can cause certain unintended negative consequences, some of which are quite terrible, ie keeping corrupt politicians in power.

Wives of Steel if you want a slightly different perspective.

More Maryland than Baltimore, but check out The Sot Weed Factor. Historical fiction set in 17th century Maryland.

Not everyone cares: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VVM8NC7

/u/rhymes_with_pail is correct. "The Black Arts" is a synonym for practicing witchcraft and demonology. I'm sorry if the sub where I posted it made you suspect a racist joke instead of the joke I meant.

I don't think a local sales tax will work. It will punish residents as commuters choose to spend their money in the counties and residents will pay more at home.

I think Baltimore City gov needs a comprehensive audit as there is clearly waste and fraud. Where to cut how much fat and tighten up efficiency of services cannot be known without this basic step. There are things underway to begin 3 audits right now.

Baltimroe city is unfortunately trapped as its own county when clearly it is the economic driver and ancestor of this area. Baltimore's lack of including in teh metro area that it spawned has allowed the younger counties to strand local poor and problems int eh city, then underfund it while they ironically complain about the condition of the city - the very condition they created and reinforce.

Baltimore needs to significantly cut its property tax just as San Francisco and Boston did 30 years ago and this will spur reinvestment and in turn begin to remedy many of the city's ills. All a local sales tax will do is further encourage money to move/stay in the counties.

Here is a great book written about inelastic cities, particularly Baltimore - David Rusk's Baltimore Unbound:

With HQL, exactly. If you cannot follow democratically created laws then maybe you ought not to have a gun if you are that irresponsible.

You also assume HQL was about reducing crime, what was the effect on suicides. Granted, I wasnt here when all that went into play and I do agree gun laws ought to be based on science and data.

If having an HQL license either by itself or coupled with other laws is failing to reduce crime or suicides than perhaps it needs to be re-considered.

The Heller dissents make sense when viewed in the original intent (this is different than Scalia's madeup 'originalism'). Common Law and Constitutional Law are two different things.

The original intent of the 2a is to protect the citizens of states to publically participate in the act of state-sponsored militia duty. Scalia made-up a new meaning of the 2a (it protects an individual right to own a gun). Which is fine, it is what it is but that's the basis of the dissent. This article spells it out a little more: https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=4021&context=flr

Scalia and the majority also held that the 2a is not an absolute right. States can enact gun control measures such as bans.
GunFight is a good read on it (you can blame DC lawmakers for writing such a blatantly shitty law to begin with): https://www.amazon.com/Gunfight-Battle-Over-Right-America/dp/0393345831

I think it is OK to ban an entire class of weapons and ammo and certain gun features like bump stocks and not violate a 2a. Whether or not that is the most effective way to get at something is up for debate and I worry about technological change and creation of black markets.

I think the method of selection based on characteristics (no folding stock vs bayonet lug vs its black) is dumb.

The response about ill-informed was particular about how you think Gun Control is theatre and there is "no new logical argument" for it.

I'll concede that some items being proposed may not be effective when compared to others but to state that it is theatre is still rather ill-informed.

>Which jurisdictions and is it controlled against the gradual reduction of crime after the height of the drug war?

Not a direct answer, but a lot of the research, with admittedly controversial conclusions can be found here (note: site and book are related)

>I'm not sure what "violent crime increased" is factored, but intentional homicide rates have fallen to historic lows after the Australian gun crime. Switzerland has a different level of economic development than America.

To quote CybRdemon in this thread

>No Australias murder rate was dropping before the gun ban, it actually went up after the ban peaking in 2000 and is now back to the normal downward trend, just like the US murder rate has been dropping.

>The rate of armed robbery with guns in Australia did not change from 2001 to 2007, and the over all theft and robbery rate went up. Rape also went up and so did home invasion. The overall crime rate in Australia is higher than the US. In another thread[1] a user PhoenicianPirate had some good resources to show that Australia is not the paradise people think it is.

>When you include suicides, guns in a home are most likely to be used on yourself , a family member or a guest. Homes with guns are more dangerous than homes without guns, period.

Japan, which has a ban on guns has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. I believe it is the fourth highest, but did not look it up tonight.

>Criminals generally aren't going to take unnecessary risk.

Right now criminals who prey on your average person in Baltimore know that the person they are about to attack are unarmed. If they were more likely than not to face someone who is armed that would act as a deterrent and, in my opinion, reduce random violence.

>Too much of the gun culture in America is based on TV shows, movies and advertisements to sell guns. Too little of it is based on what happens to the average person in the average situation.

Like I mentioned before. When I'm out of state and it's permissible for me, I carry a firearm. I was also in the military for six years. Never have I fired a weapon at a person or a living animal. I carry, though, not because I think I'm going to get attacked or need to use it but mostly for the same reason I wear a helmet or a seatbelt. Not because I plan on using it, or even expect to, but just in case.

Also, most gun owners and CCW holders don't subscribe to the TV idea of gun ownership. Those people who are all cowboyed up about guns are generally airsoft owners or people who play COD all day.

>Anyway, major detour. Enjoy all the coming violence in Baltimore because of how fucked the city is economically and from the war on drugs. Not the first rash of violence and not the last of this year, sadly enough.

Honestly, as soon as we can, we're getting out of Baltimore and moving to a more peaceful and less restrictive state like Kentucky, Oregon or Washington State.
