As the AC said, it was a 1983 and that was the only legal way to do it. My current truck has a switch (actually uses the key) to turn off the passenger air-bag for similar situations.
Most bars have parking lots is one example along with how seldom the cops sit outside of a bar checking for drunk drivers. Making something illegal by itself doesn't stop actions, there also needs to be enforcement so people think they will be caught.
Good point, my areas schools actually run a late bus to get the students that stay after school for various reasons home. It runs about 2 hours later then the regular bus though it seems to have a somewhat chaotic schedule.
It's long in the tooth by modern standards. The SMP support is simple, better turn off hyper-threading and a few days of running Firefox and you'll run out of address space (mostly due to memory fragmentation) and be forced to reboot. Then there are the other 1990's limits such as a max of 2TB HD support and having to get tricky with the CHS values for that and only VESA graphics support for any video cards made in the last dozen years.
It's a 5 km cutoff where I am, basically if closer then 3 miles, the kids don't get bused. What does amaze me is driving by an elementary school in the morning/afternoon and how many kids are getting driven to school, right in town where there is a school every few miles. When I was in school, no kids got driven to school, we all walked and it was a couple of miles.
Now and again an OS/2 box dies after 25 years of running unnoticed in a closet and suddenly an organization becomes aware that they had an OS/2 box. Can you imagine firing up a Windows box and leaving it running for 25 years?
They experimented here one year with starting the high school students early, like 6:30 instead 7:50 to catch the bus (I'm at the end of the route and there's a few dozen houses further down the roads). It was sure hard on the teenage kids and their school work. They canceled it the next year. As it is, the bus serves 3 or 4 schools, which are staggered by about half an hour and it seems to work well.
The problem is that they'd need daycare for before school instead of after. If the bus here had changed from just before 8 till after 9, it would have screwed a lot of people. It seems easier to arrange for the kid to spend an hour or 2 at the neighbours after school then in the early morning. Perhaps if more workplaces were flexible or there wasn't such a need for dual incomes, things would work better.
According to https://tech.slashdot.org/comm..., Facebook has bought up 71 other businesses including competitors such as Instagram, Oculus, and Whatsapp. As long as they're buying up the competition, they're too big.
Well one thing that should have been done is stopping them from buying up the competition, something that Facebook seems to do a lot and the others too much.
We really need to force churches to allow different religions as well the non-religous equal time at the alter or whatever the priest stands at when preaching. Think about the network effects of churches and why should they be able censor, especially since the government gives them tax breaks just for existing. Once we force the churches to preach what they don't agree with, we can move on, perhaps to schools and allow communists lots of time with the children. Eventually we can get to private businesses and force them to carry messages they don't agree with. True freedom
Don't forget a law that Churches have to allow atheists equal time along with Wiccan's, Muslims, Hindu's and Buddhists. This is even more important as churches get tax breaks just for being a church, which is government support. Once we've done that, we can start forcing everyone else to host content they don't agree with.
What he said was that twice the area got burned, not twice as many fires. Could be the same number of fires, each one burning double what it would have if it was cooler and/or damper. I don't know about California, but where I am further north, the early warm springs has caused a lot of undergrowth of grasses and such which then dries out and forms fuel. Whether the early springs are caused by climate change or natural variation is hard to pin down but statistically the winters have been getting warmer, spring showing up earlier and summers drier.
And partying sounds really stressful, like it involves a lot of moving and loud and distracting noises. Why would anyone voluntarily subject themselves to such?
Good question. For some reason the post I replied to was interested in partying
You also need the room to store those larger sizes. I don't have much room and have found myself with stuff on the floor because it was such a better deal that I bought it even without the cupboard space and the lack of a large freezer has made me miss more then a few great deals. I'm not very wealthy and manage to save quite a bit by buying larger quantities when possible or taking advantage of sales but with more money in my budget and more storage, I could save more.
Actually it is relative affects caused by the Suns gravity that makes Mercury's orbit unpredictable with Newton mechanics and originally blamed on another planet. The first test of Einstein's theory was correctly plotting Mercury's orbit.
White dwarfs are not (usually) created by novas, they're just the end point of most stars, excepting the really massive, when they run out of fuel and collapse. There would have been a red giant phase probably which may not have been healthy to be around. Really depends on the mass of the star and since I didn't read the article...

Well the number of DUI deaths are way down since enforcement picked up along with a change in overall attitude towards drinking and driving.
Do what I did when I had a small Datsun Kingcab PU, put the baby seat in the front and cram the wife in the back.

Sadly true and spreading to other countries besides America.

That I agree with.

Please don't give them ideas.

You could have a setting that by default only allows apps from the Apple store but if you want you can load from other stores.

You're still young. With age you realize that spending a bit of time thinking can make it so yo don't have to move for 12 hours before partying.
Not everything is about money. Your last paragraph is a good idea though it is weather dependent, which doesn't always co-operate up here in Canada.
