It's usually a matter of the MPG being wildly imaginary, along with the reliability, cost of ownership, etc. Often when they speak of the warranty, it's a long list of half-truths.
If the car is used, it gets much much worse in some places.
Sure, but lying crosses the line. Markets don't work when the seller is free to lie. Imagine the seller's outrage if we apply the freedom to lie evenly. I didn't say DOLLARS, so here's your 20,000 pesos, thanks for the car! I might have been exaggerating when I said I would make the payment EVERY month.
It's the same argument though, and a similar effect. Long after Champagne (as applied to the beverage) was understood to describe the process and the result, suddenly a new law pops up somewhere else demanding that it describe the place as well.
There are many tricks in traffic court that make fighting the ticket less likely. In some places, the 'court costs' exceed the cost of the ticket. In others, paying the ticket applies less points than fighting and losing. Generally they maintain that "the cop is always right" in spite of a great deal of evidence to the contrary.
People don't fight tickets for the same reason they don't bet on "heads we win, tails you lose".
Looking at the pictures, that wasn't quite the case. It looked like there was a marked parking space that was too close to the hydrant. In a fair system, the benefit of the ambiguity should go to the driver. Especially since, at least in the pictures, the hydrant was far enough away that someone without a tape measure could believe it was 15 feet.
The stats from TFA certainly suggest that this was the case.
Fortunately, you have no physical addiction to deal with. But if you do backslide, don't smoke one of the super powerful varieties. Find a more mellow one where the anti-psychotic cannabinoids are proportionally stronger.
Actually, Snowden (the one who has yet to be caught in a lie) says there are more. The NSA (the guys who have lied repeatedly to anyone and everyone, even under oath, and spied on anyone and everyone including Congress) claims that's it. How many gallons of cool aid do you have to drink to find the NSA more credible?
Remarkably, during the post-interview analysis show that streamed on the web, NBC News anchor and correspondent Andrea Mitchell said in April 2013 he sent the one email to the General Counsel, which he talked about. She then acknowledged the NSA could be covering up “other emails” and Snowden could be right—that there is a “paper trail” showing he made “multiple attempts” to take his concerns to superiors.
So tell me, what makes you so quick to believe an organization that has proven on multiple occasions that it is willing to lie to the people and directly to Congress (and then spy on Congress) over the person who exposed the whole debacle, particularly when his claims about the efficacy of going through channels has been corroborated by others known to have gone through channels?
Well, yeah, he was caught holding the bloody knife standing over the body, but since he says the bystander never said 'stop', we'll just have to let him go."
If you do that to law students, you'll end up with a bunch of people fascinated by the law, advised by a world class lawyer (one of their professors) suing for the experience.
If you do it to technical students, they'll set up a proxy in one of the computer labs.
If you do it to party students, they'll seal a nice cake into one of the walls as revenge when they leave, then they'll borrow the techies proxy.
The booksellers won't even talk to you. They know the students will get around it.

I thought the analog hole techs were all stationed at the security gates?!?

And in most places, that directional arrow itself makes the turn legal.
Space is nothing and nothing can go faster than the speed of light :-)
Does his bedroom window have curtains or a shade? Does he wear pants? If he has nothing to hide, why would he?
If the police have nothing to hide, why are the secret warrants secret?
So your point is? Shall they decide since it's been a while that they might as well sit on their asses and moan on /. instead?

At least in the case of LSD, you would be hard pressed to OD. Neither is considered an addiction risk.
There is still no good reason a psychiatrist shouldn't be able to prescribe them for use in a controlled therapy session.
Fair point, it could go much worse than they expect.
OR maybe not, maybe everyone just shoving coed out willy-nilly is more productive.
Not sure exactly what that is, but I think you can get fired for it. :-)
He has never lied to me or to you. The NSA has, repeatedly.
Change that to their boss is fired and it might work.

I'm sure the dog will wag menacingly at it.
I'm sure the "trial" would be such that it would "prove" any damn crazy thing the feds want it to "prove".
Even the goons admit that Snowden did try those channels and it went directly into the round file, so no.
What has he revealed that aided or comforted an enemy of the United States?
So where would you put 'almost certain' on the scale of 'beyond reasonable doubt' and 'preponderance of the evidence'?
Yes, when hiking the rugged trails of LA, it's so easy to get lost.
Generally, in places where hikers get lost, they have rescue people who are not law enforcement who can use a quad copter all they want.
Given their history, I can easily imagine all sorts of spying and they'll somehow manage to kill a dog with it.
