BISMARCK A group of North Dakota legislators has proposed a bill to launch a crypto sandbox, an experimental environment designed to allow penalty-free development of cryptocurrency technology.

The North Dakota House has killed a measure which would have added restrictions to beginning drivers.
The bill would have increased the time a beginning driver has to have a permit from 6 months to one year, and it would have imposed further passenger restrictions.
Supporters said it’s meant to provide more training for the younger driver. But opponentgs argued it takes away parental responsibility. This is aimed to restrict all drivers ikn that age range, because of the actions of a few, argued Rep. Cole Christensen (R-Rogers). I believe this takes away the ability for parents to decide what is best for their children, as they learn, grow and accept responsibility as they mature towards adulthood.

The first thing we thought when we saw this was, “Wait, is there any rule that states that the Wave of the Winter must go down at Pipeline, Backdoor or Off-the-Wall?” Because this weekend, John John Florence threw a completely different wrench in the works at an Oahu outer reef.
And wouldn’t that just be the perfect ending to what’s looking more and more like a perfect winter for the two-time World Champ? Over the past couple months John’s spent his time freesurfing with his brothers and closest friends all over the North Shore, throwing his hat in the ring early at Pipe for the 2020-21 O’Neill Wave of the Winter, dropping bangers in the (virtual) Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, and… oh yeah, winning his first-ever Billabong Pipe Masters.
