Not Colorado, but I learned that come April 1st, the minimum wage goes to $20/hr. Meanwhile, it's getting more complicated to evict shitty tenants. I believe there's a rule coming that you can't ask for a credit report. There are ways around it, but it getting stupider in CA.

Wa has most of those laws too and then we have the no police chases for non-violent crimes which has worked as expected. Luckily that just got repealed but will be in place for the next 90 days. Legal drug use and so much more! Completely Democrat controlled state government here.

Even though .08 is the legal limit for DUI in NY they can still cite you if you register lower than that.

Types of alcohol and drug-related violations in New York State

  • Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
    .08 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) or higher or other evidence of intoxication. For drivers of commercial motor vehicles: .04 BAC or other evidence of intoxication.
  • Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated (Aggravated DWI)
    .18 BAC or higher
  • Driving While Ability Impaired by Alcohol (DWAI/Alcohol)
    More than .05 BAC but less than .07 BAC, or other evidence of impairment.

So drivers in the round about has always had the right of way until now. Now, in a split second one must size up the vehicle entering the roundabout to determine if one must yield to it. It is ****ing stupid and completely defeats the purpose of a roundabout, which is to keep traffic flowing. Not to mention that if you follow this law you are opening yourself up to getting rear ended. I don't obey this law and if a bus, truck, or RV hits me I will get an attorney and sue whoever came up with this dumb shit.


The act requires a driver to yield the right-of-way to a driver of a truck, bus, emergency vehicle, or recreational vehicle that generally has a total length of more than 35 feet or a total width of more than 10 feet (large vehicle) when entering, exiting, or driving in the circulatory lanes in a roundabout. The act also requires that when 2 drivers of large vehicles enter, exit, or drive in the circulatory lanes in a roundabout at the same time, the driver on the right must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the left.

Crimes against nature. That's the statute. The only legal sexual position in NC is missionary. Anything else deemed crimes against nature.

I don't know if it's the dumbest, but it's annoying... Liquor stores must be closed on Sunday, and beer and wine can only be purchased after 10am on Sunday (used to be noon but I think football changed that). You can still go to any bar though and get drunk on a Sunday.

JFC, all I hear about is how free you are in TX. Free to wait until Monday?

Our dumbest would be hard to pick, obviously. I'll pick this one.

Thanks to California Senate Bill 239, it is no longer a felony for people who are HIV-positive to have unprotected sex and not disclose their status.
