Shortly after the announcement, the header of 4chan's /mlp/ (ponies) board was changed to "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW" (shown below, left) while playing the Metal Gear Solid 4 Love Theme in the background. On January 29th, 2013, the entertainment news site Entertainment Weekly published an interview with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic head writer Meghan McCarthy, who announced Twilight Sparkle's transformation into an alicorn, noting the character "was set up from the very beginning to be on an important journey." The same day, the announcement was reblogged on several brony news sites, including Equestria Daily and Derpy Hooves News. On November 1st, 2012, a poll was posted on the MLP Forums, to which over 43% said they did not approve of Twilight Sparkle becoming an alicorn (shown below). Many felt that changing Twilight Sparkle into an alicorn could severely damage the character by over-idealizing her, similar to the Mary Sue phenomenon in fanfiction. The news was met with a variety of responses from the brony fandom.

As well, if your flower contains pesticides, those chemicals will also get extracted in a potentially higher concentration in that shatter. There’s some controversy over the fact that trace amounts of butane are present in the resulting shatter. ![]() They contain active ingredients in concentrations of 50–90%, according to research from Portland State University. ![]() This extraction process can employ chemical solvents such as butane to produce, in this case, butane hash oil (BHO).īHOs are the most popular method of extraction, because they’re significantly more potent than raw plant material and other forms of cannabis. Shatter is essentially what’s extracted from cannabis flower when that flower undergoes a process that produces a product that contains a highly concentrated amount of cannabinoids and terpenes. Looking for the easiest way to make shatter? We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about this increasingly popular form of cannabis and created a step-by-step guide for making it yourself. ![]() And it may appeal to others in search of intense psychoactive effects. This makes it a good option for patients suffering from acute pain or struggling to break free of a PTSD flashback. Whether you’re a recreational or medicinal cannabis consumer, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the term “shatter.” An exceptionally potent form of hash oil, shatter-sometimes referred to as “sap” or “pull ‘n’ snap” depending on its consistency-contains high concentrations of cannabinoids, which deliver very strong results in just a single hit. It also represents my greatest disappointment as a member of the Court. Their twin failure-first, the misreading of the intended meaning of the Second Amendment, and second, the failure to respect settled precedent-represents the worst self-inflicted wound in the Court’s history. At a minimum, it should have given them greater pause before announcing such a radical change in the law that would greatly tie the hands of state and national lawmakers endeavoring to find solutions to the gun problem in America. So well settled was the issue that, speaking on the PBS NewsHour in 1991, the retired Chief Justice Warren Burger described the National Rifle Association’s lobbying in support of an expansive interpretation of the Second Amendment in these terms: “One of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special-interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”Įven if the lobbyists who oppose gun-control regulation actually do endorse the dubious proposition that the Second Amendment was intended to limit the federal power to regulate the civilian use of handguns-that Burger incorrectly accused them of “fraud”-I find it incredible that policy makers in a democratic society have failed to impose more effective regulations on the ownership and use of firearms than they have.Īnd even if there were some merit to the legal arguments advanced in the Heller case, all could foresee the negative consequences of the decision, which should have provided my colleagues with the justification needed to apply stare decisis to Miller. After reviewing many of the same sources that are discussed at greater length by Scalia in his majority opinion in Heller, the Miller Court unanimously concluded that the Second Amendment did not apply to the possession of a firearm that did not have “some relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia.” And in 1980, in a footnote to an opinion upholding a conviction for receipt of a firearm, the Court effectively affirmed Miller, writing: “he Second Amendment guarantees no right to keep and bear a firearm that does not have ‘some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia.’” The first two federal laws directly restricting the civilian use and possession of firearms-the 1927 act prohibiting mail delivery of handguns and the 1934 act prohibiting the possession of sawed-off shotguns and machine guns-were enacted over minor Second Amendment objections that were dismissed by the vast majority of legislators participating in the debates. Until Heller, the invalidity of Second Amendment–based objections to firearms regulations had been uncontroversial. ![]() Read: Why the Supreme Court won’t impact gun rights Most, if not all, of those regulations would violate the Second Amendment as it was construed in the 5–4 decision that Justice Antonin Scalia announced in Heller on June 26, 2008. ![]() Boston’s gunpowder law imposed a 10-pound fine on any person who took any loaded firearm into any dwelling house or barn within the town. Those and other cities also regulated the storage of gunpowder. Boston enacted a law in 1746 prohibiting the “discharge” of any gun or pistol that was later revived in 1778 Philadelphia prohibited firing a gun or setting off fireworks without a governor’s special license and New York banned the firing of guns for three days surrounding New Year’s Day. ![]() Boston, Philadelphia, and New York-the three largest cities in America at that time-all imposed restrictions on the firing of guns in the city limits. In that case, the Court upheld the indictment of a man who possessed a short-barreled shotgun, writing, “In the absence of any evidence that the possession or use of a ‘shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length’ has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument.”Ĭolonial history contains many examples of firearm regulations in urban areas that imposed obstacles to their use for protection of the home. Miller as having established that the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to bear arms was possessed only by members of the militia and applied only to weapons used by the militia. When I joined the Supreme Court in 1975, both state and federal judges accepted the Court’s unanimous decision in United States v. ![]() Throughout most of American history there was no federal objection to laws regulating the civilian use of firearms. This article was adapted from The Making of a Justice: Reflections on My First 94 Years, by John Paul Stevens. ![]() So there is nothing in pre-approval itself that undermines credit standards. Once you are pre-approved for a given amount, the agent only shows you homes you can actually afford. It is Intuit’s mortgage firm? Or is it just a mortgage broker? As people who have bought a home know, pre-approval lets a realtor and a seller know that your offer is “serious” and not going to be tied up in financing questions. I didn’t see the commercial and don’t know about Rocket Mortgage. Let’s hope both the market and financial regulators are more up to the task to regulating the market this time around. As Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera write in All the Devils Are Here, this incentive is what turned Countrywide from a relatively well-respected lender into the firm that - more than any other - contributed to the mortgage meltdown. This will create incentives for the underwriting standards to decline because there will not, all of the sudden, be a surge of borrowers who are prime risks. If this comes to pass (which it might not because I am not a housing economist or regulator), the business model for these firms requires selling a constant flow of mortgages. They, too, will want to pass the loans through their books and then sell the loans to other firms. More companies will attempt to operate in the fast pre-approval market and each of them will be racing to gain market share. They have first-mover advantage and will likely capture some more of the market share but they won’t be in the position of being the only company to offer these mortgages for long. Quicken Loans becomes a pass-through their profit will come on the flow of mortgages that they process, not on the profit the loans produce. If they go the route of not holding the mortgages on their own balance sheet, the re-selling is where the real risk to the financial market comes. The market for residential mortgage backed securities has shrunk massively, but with enough volume it’s possible that the Rocket Mortgage could create a market to provide an incentive for more players to re-enter that market (let’s hope this time the CFTC regulates them). They could bundle their mortgages into residential mortgage backed securities (see, The Big Short). Capital reserves will limit Quicken’s ability to capture a larger share of the mortgage market. The app provides nothing but a clever (and expensive) marketing device to drive more people to their mortgage product.Īt some point, having so many mortgages housed with a single company will be dangerous unless one of two things happens: Quicken Loans holds much more capital in reserve or they find a secondary market to which to sell the mortgages. The problem derives from the fact Quicken loans wants to increase the market share of people using the actual Rocket Mortgage (not the app). That does not mean, however, that the Rocket Mortgage does not cause problems for the economy. Rocket Mortgage: Let’s do the financial crisis again, but with apps! While it’s true that lax underwriting standards helped cause the financial crisis, if the Rocket Mortgage app does not actually provide a mortgage then the critique of the app as leading to lax underwriting standards falls short. The fact that the app is not, itself, a mortgage application undermines many of the criticisms that came out of the commercial, like Dave Weigel’s hilarious (but incorrect) tweet below. (If I am wrong about actually granting a mortgage not based on underwriting the underlying collateral, then this is a huge problem.) But Quicken Loans realized that most people do not shop around after getting pre-approval they just apply with the institution who pre-approved them. Rocket Mortgage seems to want to do the same. ![]() And just as pre-approval from a bank does not lock consumers into a loan from that bank, most people end up using the bank from which they get pre-approval. Because underwriting must be at least somewhat dependent on the underlying collateral - the house the borrower is purchasing - the app seems more like bank pre-approval than a guarantee of a loan. The Rocket Mortgage app draws data from a number of databases to let potential borrowers know how much they could likely get in the form of a mortgage loan.

Most obviously, but not necessarily adequately appreciated, Moving Pictures was responsible in a big way for bringing prog rock back to the mainstream during a time when the mainstream had all but abandoned it. ![]() That may be true in a broad sense, but both the immediate impact and enduring legacy of the Canadian power trio’s eighth album come down to features that actually make Moving Pictures heavy music’s ultimate bridge album. People tend to talk about Rush’s music as an object of either love or hate, an experience with no middle ground. How did that happen for a band that had previously met with success, but mostly within a niche defined by hard rock sounds and progressive songwriting, which is hardly chart-topping territory? There’s no doubt music nerds will forever argue over which Rush album is the best, but there’s really no disputing the objective truth that Moving Pictures was and is the band’s most successful, having sold more than 4 million copies worldwide and featuring in countless lists and discussions of the best rock music ever. ![]() Moving Pictures represents the final bit of arc in that second phase, marking the band’s second major transition, this time to a more modern and streamlined rock and roll, still progressive, though less aggressively so. By the time Rush released Moving Pictures early in 1981, they’d already completed a major phase shift from blues-based hard rock to full on prog rock and then produced no fewer than four indisputably classic albums. ![]() I want to practice but it's really grinding my gears, any alternative programs someone knows would be much appreciated.
