Above all first make sure the women and kids are safe, then throw them your car keys and wallet mentioning you've just come from the bank (they'll be distracted) and quickly decide which one to kill first.
That would be the idiot holding his stolen pistol almost over his head. The other one will ...

Although I doubt Peterson covers any new ground, he's an excellent communicator and I'll watch this later.

re: Florida cracks down on frivolous lawsuits, insurance goes down..
Posted by Mr Breeze on 5/26/24 at 4:39 pm
The linked article headline states that homeowner's rates are stabilizing and "So far this year, ten insurance carriers have requested no rate increase and nine have requested a rate decrease to the state."
So, roughly 50% of Florida's homeowner's insurance rates have gone down, not 100% as the ...

[quote]Seems to me the craft or trade of Land Surveying served us well before complicating the process with "the science of Geodesy".
