Re:18 to 24 year-olds are broke
I was very young when Star Wars, but I vividly remember that it cost $2.25. Plugging the values into the Inflation Calculator, I get a value of $9.04 today. I saw Hidden Figures last month and paid $9.00 for a ticket.
Minimum wage in 1977 was $2.31, or $9.29 inflation adjusted. Minimum wage as of January 1, 2017 - $10.00 Maybe movies just suck

Re:$40 figure is bullshit

Weekly payment of wages. Exemptions. (Sec. 31-71b). (a) Each employer, by himself, his agent or representative, shall pay weekly all moneys due each employee on a regular pay day, designated in advance by the employer, in cash, by negotiable checks or, upon an employee's written request, by credit to such employee's account in any bank which has agreed with the employer to accept such wage deposits. (b) The end of the pay period for which payment is made on a regular pay day shall be not more than eight days before such regular pay day, provided, if such regular pay day falls on a nonwork day, payment shall be made on the preceding work day. (c) This section shall not be construed to prohibit a local or regional board of education and a recognized or certified exclusive bargaining representative of its certified or noncertified employees from including within their collective bargaining agreement a schedule for the payment of wages to certified employees or noncertified employees that differs from the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of this section. (d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to apply to employees swapping workdays or shifts as permitted under a collective bargaining agreement.

Re:Rational
http://search.cga.state.ct.us/2009/TOB/S/2009SB-00349-R00-SB.htm is a new bill under consideration in the Connecticut State legislature that will make possession of small amounts of marijuana a ticketable offense, not a misdemeanor. I recently wrote to my State Senator recommending approval of this bill, when it comes out of committee, simply because I have two children. I would rather have them caught and ticketed for marijuana possession, and then directed back to me for resolution. What happens today with a midemeanor is that they are taken in a police car down to the station, booked and then we have to deal with court/judge etc.
The linkage between risk and punishment is perverse in the case of marijuana. The punishment is so severe for mere possession, where (except for driving) there is not a clear linkage between simple usage and future riskier behaviour. That said, impairment while driving is a serious offense that should be punishable equally whether it is marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs etc. However for kids busted on the street, at a party, a passenger in a car, or anywhere but driving, I say let the parents deal with the problem for the first 2 instances before getting the judicial system involved.

Re:Total 100% hypocrisy
We know illegal felonious comments (threats of rape and murder) were allowed to remain posted on the website.
We know? No, we don't know, you fucking idiot.
Libel is almost always a civil matter, not criminal. There is no indication that anyone has been charged with any criminal offense.
It's doubtful that any of the reported remarks would qualify as misdemeanor (second degree) threats under Connecticut law, let alone felony (first degree) threats.

Re:Err. Can we mod summaries?Apparently you can't see the forest for the trees. I could add words like shit but I'm not sure what it would add.
In my high school (i'm 20 now) we were prepared for weeks prior to the CAPT (Connecticut state testing) and all other standardized tests on how to take them, how to answer them, and given practice tests almost daily
So what your saying is that it forces the schools to make sure that the students know enough of the subject matter to pass a test on it. Tell me again, how is that a bad thing? Is it because the NCLBA singles out minority and economically disadvantaged students and promotes programs to help ensure they don't get overlooked?No Child Left Behind fucks over schools that already do well overall because once the student body is already doing pretty well overall they don't really have much higher to go, so how the fuck are they supposed to keep increasing their standing to get more funding? It's a fucking joke.
Ahh, so apparently you don't know shit about the public education system or the NCLB act. Let me explain this to you. The state sets standards and creates testing systems to determine if the education of the students is meeting those standards which is nothing new. The schools test the students up to those standards. Once they meet them, they don't have any obligations to surpass them but they are supposed to be higher then the current performing average. At a point in time when all the schools in an area start performing to level, they raise the bar a bit and expect the schools to follow but it is still up to the states to what that bar is.
Now the NCLBa, says that schools not performing or showing an increase in performance get penalized by certain monitoring. If they are failing or continuing to fail, eventually they can either be taken control of by either the state or federal government and administrated appropriately. The students also have the option to goto any other public school withing the districts or even private schools. It does nothing to the schools that are performing, only give money to schools that aren't performing and gives students an option of getting a real education somewhere else. Your premise of schools performing well already is bullshit too. If the school meets the state requirements, it doesn't have to improve until the state moves the requirements. Perhaps you should actually read the act and how your state implemented it. I can guarantee that schools performing well aren't getting fucked for the unsupported reasons you claimed.
But don't just take my word for it, read it from your own states web site on the subject. You can start with the Faq page. -

Re:Extortion
How far should a person go to prove something? The website isn't a court of law. Why should he bother taking a picture of the ram and cd-rom? It isn't hearsay from my understanding of the term. "Hearsay: Testimony given by a witness who tells second or third hand information" from http://www.jud.state.ct.us/legalterms.htm#Hearsay This isn't second or third hand information for the buyer. He can directly observe the facts. So it isn't hearsay. For us to claim that its broken would be hearsay, but not him. Of course INAL. And how can a picture show that a laptop doesnt work? Its not as if the screen is shattered, any attempt to show that the laptop doesn't work in picture format will most likely look like a laptop that is turned off. The only part i agree with as far as the privacy aspects are the people who are not the buyer. They are a 3rd party.

Re:heating hot air.?
You are right, I botched on the logistics. My bad.
The cost of processing fuel is, for a large part, incorporated into the cost of electricity as well. Granted, not all power plants run on oils, some run on gas, some coal, some nukes, some renewables. Despite this, the price of finished, processed fuel has a significant impact on the price of electricity. I will make this moot in a moment.
I think we agree on radiant heat. From experience, I will tell you that a compromise solution (baseboard heat) can sometimes do even better. A lot of it depends on the house.
Regarding resistance heat vs. fuel-powered heat, let's tackle this from a pure cost basis.
Assume a house located in upstate New York. I pick upstate New York because my house is just such a house. Assume that this house has a heating requirement of 80,000 BTU/hour. This is not constant, but rather the size of the furnace/other heating devices, taken in aggregate. These get cycled on and off by the thermostat.
Let us examine the cost of one hour of "on" time for the furnace. This may actually be over the course of more than one hour, given, as said before, that the thermostat cycles the heater on and off as needed. What we're looking at here is the cost of producing 80,000 BTU of heat, regardless of what time frame it takes place in.
Assume electric heat to be 100% efficient, ignoring the externalities of the power plant. You don't buy fuel for the power plant directly, you buy the finished product.
80,000 BTU of heat takes 23.446kWh of electricity. Since we are talking about upstate New York, electricity costs, after taxes and all, 15.6 cents/kWh, putting the price of this 80,000 BTU at $3.66.
Producing the same from oil, let's assume a 91% efficient furnace. Not the best, but very reasonable. (I use a 91% efficient gas furnace, BTW) To produce 80,000BTU, we will need 87,912 BTU of fuel. According to this page, a gallon of home heating oil (#2 distillate) contains 138,690 BTU. Therefore, to produce our 80,000 BTU, we will be using 0.63 gallons. According to this site, home heating oil costs between 2.069 and 2.699 per gallon, depending on bulk discount and purchase terms. Again, this is a post-tax, delivered price. This puts the price between $1.30 and $1.70 for our 80,000 BTU
...So the cost of electric heat to oil heat is, at best, 2.15:1. Tell me again why electric heat is a better choice?
Lastly, regarding on-site generation, yes, that does change the formula a lot, even if it is just a backup generator.... the cost of a $25kW backup generator is out of reach for most. I back up my home with a 5kW generator, though, and my gas-powered furnace continues to operate just fine, as would an oil-powered one.

Huh?The court found that mandatory disclosure of the data under the state's freedom of information statues is exempted under a recently passed state law that allows information to be kept secret 'when there are reasonable grounds to believe that their disclosure may result in a safety risk.'
Which link supports this statement? This link states:
The court further found that the department had failed to prove its claim that the records were exempt either under General Statutes 1-210 (b) (5) (A), which provides an exemption for "trade secrets," or under 1-210 (b) (2), which provides an exemption for "records of standards, procedures, processes, software and codes . . . the disclosure of which would compromise the security or integrity of an information technology system." The court, accordingly, dismissed the department's appeal. In this appeal to the Supreme Court, the department challenges the court's findings and additionally argues that the court improperly failed to consider Public Act 2002, No. 02-133, 1, which became effective shortly before the commission's decision. That public act amended 1-210 (b) (19), which provides an exemption for "records when there are reasonable grounds to believe that their disclosure may result in a safety risk," to include records of municipal agencies.
To me, that reads that the city lost and are appealing to the Supreme Court. Has the CT Supreme Court ruled on this? Am I missing something? -
Re:Maps want to be free!
It's always been a thorn in my side, that (here in Canada, and no doubt elswhere) tax money pays for government agencies to collect map and aerial photography data (and land records), and do not make it properly accessible to the public.
Most agencies do make it available to the public. This is Greenwich being Greenwich. What is especially stupid about this is that much of the information is available at the Department of Enviromental Protection's web site. I used to work for the CT DOT doing GIS for them. At that time (6 years ago), we were trying to coordinate efforts with the DEP and University of Connecituct, who also had some good data including ariel photography. While the TIGER maps at the DEP may not have the accuracy that USGS survey maps have, they have all of the important information and they're close enough for many applications.

The absentee process has two partsHere in Connecticut, there are two steps to absentee voting: first, the voter fills out an application and submits it to the Town Clerk. Then the Clerk gives him a ballot to fill out and return. Imagine how this plays out when the voter is on the other side of the earth:
1.) The application has to get to the voter somehow. This is not as much of a problem as it once was, because one can email the town clerk and ask for it to be mailed, one's relatives can send it to you, or you can print it out from the Secretary of the State's web site.
2.) Once the application is filled out, it must be mailed back to the Town Clerk. Currently, the law allows one to fax the application to ensure the ballot goes out in a timely manner, but it must be mailed at the same time it is faxed. If the application is not received in the mail be the close of polls on election day, the ballot is rejected.
3.) When the Town Clerk receives the application, he prepares a ballot and mails it.
4.) Then I get to vote. And mail back the ballot. And hope that it's received in time.
That's a cycle of three or four mail trips across the world. Anybody overseas who wants to vote absentee needs to get going right now to make sure their votes are counted! Incidentally, look at the audit trail absentee balloting leaves in its wake: the completed application, an outer envelope for mailing, an inner envelope to ensure ballot secrecy, and the ballot itself. With the potential for mischief that absentee balloting presents, I am glad all this paperwork exists. However, in the interest of timeliness and of not disenfranchising remote voters, I think the application process, but not the voting itself, can be shortened by using email without sacrificing security. Imagine this process:
1.) The voter emails the town clerk with the required information and a digital signature.
2.) The clerk mails the ballot.
3.) The voter mails back the ballot.
That's two mail trips. That's still a wait, but the process is simpler, there's still an audit trail, the identity of the voter is still verifiable, and the ballot is on good old paper. Why can't states adopt a sensible, middle-ground process like this one? And why doesn't Missouri's chief elections official understand the importance of an auditable vote?

"No Photography" rules
I encountered an interesting "no photography" rule when I was in Connecticut last year. While visiting Gillette Castle (as in William Gilette, the actor famous for portraying Sherlock Holmes), I was informed that I could not take a camera inside the "castle" -- because someone owned the copyright on images of anything inside!Normally, if one takes a picture of something, you did the work, you own the copyright. (Simple enough.) However, for some reason, Connecticut has sold the rights to images of everything inside the mansion, and the staff have to waste their time trying to make sure people don't bring cameras in. Ridiculous.
With the increasing ubiquity of digital cameras, cameras in phones, cameras in PDAs, cameras in watches, cameras "in" people... where do you draw the line? Can you even draw a line?
If I remember correctly, Steve Mann was allowd to use his body-mounted computers while taking tests at MIT. The reasoning was -- since he never took the stuff off -- that it was just another part of his body. I wonder what would happen if he tried to enter Gillette Castle...?
(Though I haven't visited, I believe that Biltmore has the same no-camera rule for the same reason...)
It's all about greed... when people realize all this greed is hurting the common good, things will change. Problem is, the greedy ones are busy trying to convince us we're all "better off this way."
Riiight.

Pork (Re:This sounds like the movie Airplane.)
REplying to myself here, but pork isn't mentioned in the linked article.
HOWEVER, the pork thing might not be entirely made up.

This might be the source of the submitter's "pork" comment. This was a Swedish law, but it's similar to the EU guidelines.

Sex Offender Database
The State of Connecticut until recently maintained a registry of sex offenders which was accesible online. It was an extension of the "Megan's Law" idea of letting citizens known when a child molester lives next door to you. You could search the database by location and be presented with a list, complete with addresses and photos, of area registered sex offenders.
This program, understandably, was controversial from the start, with good arguments being made both for and against it. A Federal judge ordered the site shut down earlier this year. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if that decision won't be later overturned. -

Re:Will it really cook passing birds?
I don't buy this bird-cooking stuff, at least not at the scale this fellow is talking about. Although I grant it might be possible for, say, commercial TV transmitters. Check out this link, for example:
http://www.wirelessmountain.com/superl inkspecs2.html
It's a 10baseT microwave link that will do 15 km with an output power of a whole 50 watts. My 1200 watt microwave might be sufficient to cook a very small bird in a minute, but 4% of that power isn't likely to do much.
A back-of-envelope calculation suggests that even if a small bird like a grashopper sparrow were to absorb 100% of the power of this beam and was perfectly insulated by its feathers, it would heat up by about 0.7 deg C per second. That's slow enough that it certainly won't cook a bird flying through the beam; the bird would somehow have to perch right in the beam and stubbonly stay there despite feeling uncomfortably hot. Oh, and when it passed out it would have to somehow stay in the beam to actually get to cooking temperatures.
And of course in real life, the bird won't absorb anything near 100% of the power, and would lose a lot of the gained heat to the air around it. So if the original querent sets up one of these microwave links, he should plan to keep getting his fried chicken the usual way. -
