Apple's private API setup would work for geeks IF they put a checkbox in the config like Android does for app installs to allow 3rd party utilization. Walling off the API is fine if I can override the manufacturer's wall if desired.
Your manifest file is wrong. You request a list of permissions that your app is then allowed to use, but requesting them does not mean you used it. You probably have PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS or CALL_PHONE listed unnecessarily.
Which means you live a mostly boring, repetitive, and uninteresting life which will result in working the same crap job(s) until death and thus can be equated to failing by most standards. People aren't living in mediocrity because they strive to (for most sane individuals), they live there because they failed to do better.
Having seen this dealt with at the company I work for there's more to it than that. Generally speaking, when a change needs to be made there's a whole list of things that cost money: architectural fee to get the design set to a standard, an overview fee to the city to get the design approved, possibly another round of both, a building permit application fee, a permit processing/filing fee, and sometimes other BS requirements in addition to the materials and labor to get the ramp built. I can also depend highly on the landscaping. This company happened to get around the ADA requirement because our grade out front is too steep to be compliant, but after the architectural stage it was determined we qualified for a hardship waiver due to the cost of regrading the entire front of the building.
The ramp would be simple, the bureaucratic nightmare around it is not.
Last guild I was in when I played (way back when) used a tiered point system. Top tier players got first invite to raids and first choice of gear, regardless of DKP (DKP was a same-tier equalizer).
It worked quite well: -Attendance means you're willing and ready to join raid regardless of if you made it in, so even a full raid meant you got credit while farming and your attendance rating was entirely self-controllable. DKP wasn't given out if you weren't in-encounter. -Leader and officers were the first tier and required mandatory attendance. -Attendance of 3/4ths of the raids for at least a month saw you promoted to the upper tier. -At least 50% attendance consistently earned you middle-tier. -Less than 50% attendance put you in the lower (casual) tier.
Much like a business. Better availability and better performance got you invited more (higher tiers and more DKP, respectively) much like both give you first pick for promotions IRL.
I shouldn't feed trolls, but I'll point out these points: the neighbor would be physically preventing the land owner from moving to public property (roads have always been an exception); and if the town didn't own the land, they were profiting from the state of land belonging to someone else thus had no right to expect it to remain the same.
They've done a mix of celestial-body-targeted and sky-sweep listening. Usually the first is used as a second look for interesting signals found with the second.
Are you kidding? Perfect prior art once and for all. "Your honor, we received the allegedly infringing work from a radio station broadcasting from 20,000 light years away which means it was produced and transmitted well over 19,900 years before it was copywritten on Earth. Based on current laws on Earth, that puts it firmly into the public domain by now, not withstanding any unknown copywrite laws in effect in this galaxy and/or cluster."
Because you definitely waste leather on a seat cover during the end-times. It'll be old t-shirts, which don't get nearly as hot. I, for one, welcome the pants and shirtless future (unhealthy fatties won't survive, so no worries about that particular visage).
It looks similar because making something look futuristic involves adding heatsink-looking elements and rings around the body in order to make it look more complex. Compare German pistols to Marvin the Martian's or Buck Roger's ray gun. Now compare a normal laser pointer or flashlight to the Artic Pro. It's been a common stylistic approach for much longer than Lucas has been around. Unless it matches one of the known lightsabers from the movie and is advertised as one, this claim is BS.
The air-tube/missile problem is a perfect example. Most of the game was perfect. I understood I needed to break the tube, but I put the portal behind the tube instead of directly under it. The tube didn't break so I went online and found out I had it right, just not "programmer right."
Maybe true in general, but most, if not all, of the brightest minds on earth got tired of college and did their own thing for much better results. Heck, I'm not one of the brightest minds on earth and I did the same. I learn better and faster on my own. With a book and an internet connection, I can pick up the basics of almost anything in about a month of spare time. I taught myself C++ basics over the course of a summer when I was 11 mostly out of boredom and curiosity, last time I was in a college CompSci programming class they didn't introduce that much information the whole semester.
College is a good place to learn to learn if you have the ability and haven't yet picked it up, otherwise, it's redundant.
One more step towards the "global government" is not a step in the right direction. We need individual organizations held accountable for completing missions (getting to Mars, more probes to the outer planets, etc). Global "cooperation" leads to eternal delays, blame shifting, and inflated budgets. Let's not even get into the fact that everyone wants their approach to be everyone's approach.
Even if it does get them killed, every last one of the bunch stuck in traffic went there knowing they could get blocked in by other people. Who says the PhD types couldn't contribute to some amateurs getting killed? There's a storm that can put a toothpick through an oak tree: everyone running towards it is responsible for their own consequences.
I would propose that even "a few hours of martial arts training" is excess. I know plenty of people who could pound the life out someone without any training at all by either kicking the skull or by holding the airway shut. Both take no specialized knowledge and relatively little force for the muscle groups in question.
a) The Constitution says the right won't be infringed. It's a natural right to own them, so what's wrong with handing them out? b) Permit holders in general aren't looking to actually use the weapon. They know quite well that breaking leather is probably $20k minimum defense costs even if it's a good reason. c) Easier to run from a knife wielder? Sure that works when you're young or in shape, but what about the disabled, old, or weak? Firearms level the playing field as much as possible.
The point is the Federal government should only step in and enforce freedoms. States shouldn't be able to violate the Constitution, but the Feds shouldn't be using the Commerce Clause to stick their nose into everything.

Only to PETA. Otherwise it's "sweet delicious murder" thank you very much.

Re-pointing a laser: not so much work
Re-pointing a missile traveling at mach 3, especially after passing the target: hard

Bacon Rain? Delicious!
Except a large suitcase nuke would more than suffice.
The B2 has a 170ish foot wingspan and the radar cross section of a ball bearing, so size is not necessarily a stealth disqualifier.

As a 2A supporter, you should have included the AWB under Clinton. As far as I'm concerned, presidents went down hill after Teddy Roosevelt.
Not everyone agrees with current speed laws, he's protesting the way he thinks is best. Personally, I think he's right.
The point is the Federal government should only step in and enforce freedoms. States shouldn't be able to violate the Constitution, but the Feds shouldn't be using the Commerce Clause to stick their nose into everything.
