We had three families in our neighborhood, all related, that the parents/grandparents were from Guyana and the kids were born here.

I can’t speak for the country but those people were awesome! Super friendly, nice, hard working but most of all happy to share and explain their culture.

Was the teenager the owner? Can a 14 year old legally possess a firearm like that independent of their parent(s)?

I always imagined it was similar to when a parent buys a car and “gifts” it to the child. The car still belongs to the parent, at least until the kid is old enough to take ownership of it.

When I was a kid we’d play the newly released video game version of The Oregon Trail on our Apple II.

My 40th is in 2 days and my wife has been bugging me for gift ideas and activity ideas. All I wanted (and what’s happening) is a dinner at a restaurant with my wife. She surprised me with a small surprise birthday dinner there early on in our dating and it’s my favorite thing to do for my birthday.

I play the Daily Challenge everyday on MobilityWare’s solitaire game. I’ve played 3,607 daily challenges to date.

FedEx is a private company providing delivery services. I’m not a lawyer but I’m guessing the statute you’re referencing only applies to USPS.

Ironic, I just watched Rebel Ridge which outlines this exact problem with civil asset forfeiture.

Since it’s civil asset forfeiture what actually happens is the state/municipality sues to take the money so it has to be fought in court against the state/municipality.

The problem is the state sues the money directly so the suit itself would be something like Indiana vs. $48,000 or Marion County vs. $48,000. This makes it a lot harder and more expensive to recover your money since they are suing an inanimate object, not the owner directly.

Civil asset forfeiture laws need to be scrapped and rewritten because this has been going on in the US for years.

As a casual Wes Anderson fan I feel like this list is organized by general popularity rather than from a hardcore Wes Anderson fan perspective, which in my opinion is a flawed approach. The less generally popular films I’ve been exposed to have been the more enjoyable to me.
