  1. Do not accept an ITIN in place of an SSN for employee identification or for work. An ITIN is only available to resident and nonresident aliens who are not eligible for U.S. employment and need identification for other tax purposes. You can identify an ITIN because it is a 9-digit number, beginning with the number "9" and is formatted like an SSN (NNN-NN-NNN). Note: An individual with an ITIN who later becomes eligible to work in the United States must obtain an SSN. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/hiring-employees The IRS seems to think that an ITIN is only for aliens not eligible for US employment.
  2. Bump..... Two of the nicest people you'll ever meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Something like this quick access handgun safe is probably a good option for what you are doing. http://shop.opticsplanet.com/gunvault-speedvault-digital-handgun-safe.html?_iv_code=UB-GF-SV500&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=plusbox-beta&gclid=CMCylta1ptACFRB0fgodcnoCHQ
  4. If somebody full of PCP was pounding my head on the pavement, I would be extremely grateful to anyone who calmed them down with an intracranial injection of 230 grains of lead. I'm with you 100%.
  5. You obviously have the knowledge to make your arguments without the personal attacks, are they really needed?
  6. Should the rigs in question be grounded until this is sorted out?
  7. Sunset crater is pretty cool.

    Yes because we let our students take cellphones on jumps for this exact purpose. More likely the student was a douche nozzle, and despite being told to empty their pockets fully they snuck their phone on to the jump and pulled it out unannounced and unplanned. Would the pilot be in jeopardy of an enforcement action/lawsuit if the phone was dropped and caused injury/damage?
  9. Thanks, I needed a good laugh. Ray L, I'd be interested in hearing your answer to this question as I'm sure at least a few others would.
  10. If the only people who get the firearm safety for parents discussion are firearms owners then I'd prefer to keep that out of my medical records. If all new parents get the discussion on firearm safety for parents then I have no problem with the notation. For those that would say that it's a waste of time to have this discussion with parents who don't own guns, I disagree. I also do not think a doctor should be allowed to refuse service based on my refusal to answer the question about guns in the home. If the answer "none of your business" will be considered acceptable, then I'd be ok with that.
  11. Most likely more dangerous with gasoline, but it's been in use for years. Don't get me wrong, I'd ride it. The thought would be bouncing around in the back of my head though.
  12. Yikes, the police can threaten to hold your family in jail (and do it) as witnesses if you don't admit your crime and tell them where the body is.
  13. 5 seconds is an awfully long time from pull altitude. What did your instructors say about this?
  14. I want one! To keep this SC material, is government funding involved? What are the thoughts that it says it takes more power to drive it than it takes to power the building it was built in? My thought on that is holy crap, battery technology sure has come a long way when they can do that with a battery that fits in a motorcycle. Next thought, do I really want that kind of potential power located between my legs? A battery event (fire/explosion) would be located awfully close to "tender bits".
  15. I have no issue with a doctor discussing gun safety with myself or my children. I do have an issue with any firearm related information in my medical records that is not medical event related. With medical records being pushed into the digital age and the Government having access it just does not leave a good taste in my mouth so to speak. If this attitude leaves me in the tinfoil hat club, so be it. With firearm ownership being a constitutional right I don't think that discrimination against firearm owners should be any more ok than discriminating against people with different religious views or sexual orientation. The doctor should be no more allowed refuse service to a firearm owner than a gun store owner is allowed to refuse service to muslims. Laws banning speech are generally bad ideas, this one included. I'm sure someone can come up with a better way to handle this.

  17. This post nails it. Not only does it show Mark's fail, it shows that there are plenty of people on both sides of the aisle doing the same thing.
  18. You are failing to provide future "tax payers" by not having children. You should be penalized severely. Someones gotta pay for all the stuff the gov spends money it doesn't have on.
  19. Drug dog hits should not make a difference. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/08/14/cocaine.traces.money/
  20. If OPEC has lowered the price of oil to make fracking not profitable what happens to the price of OPEC oil if fracking is no longer legal in the US? I guess it is important to remember that some do not want us to have access to cheap energy via fossil fuels.
  21. "The US government expects" it to work might be more accurate.
  22. My understanding is that even with a warrant Apple would be unable to access the information in the phone as even they can not crack their encryption. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely with you on points 1 and 2.
  23. Until the general public believes that good cops will "rat out" the bad cops and that there is some kind of active effort to get rid of the bad cops any increase in militarization may not be received well.
