Sounds similar to how things work here in Minnesota for scrap metal. Both my dad and uncle have access to massive amounts of scrap and make frequent runs to the scrap yard bringing in hundreds of pounds of copper wire, brass, aluminum, steel, non magnetic stainless steel, and so on each. My uncle works as a garbage man and collects scrap while doing his route while my dad works as an equipment repair tech at a hospital and they are always looking for cheap ways to dispose of old/broken equipment so my dad takes it off their hands and breaks it down (there is a paper trail). At the scrap yard they always take an ID since there has been so much copper, aluminum, and catalytic converter theft lately and for the scrap yard this is a CYA action.
Pittsburgh bars are practicing this illegal maneuver as well and need to be hammered by the courts for it, as well. Someone just needs to take this to the courts...won't take long for it to be deemed unconstitutional.
There it really is a debt that needs to be paid as you have already received your food and/or drink. I wonder if all you had was cash and they refused your payment if you would still be legally required to pay?
Sounds like you have never been to a pawn shop or consignment shop (they can have great deals if you know what you are looking at or be a giant ripoff). Every time I buy or sell something they take my license and record it so that there is a paper trail of who bought or sold something along with the description and if available serial number of the item sold. I buy more stuff from pawn shops than I sell, but have used them to unload junk that I don't need or want that there really isn't a market for. Also prices are negotiable unless it is something like bullion as they buy that at a really reduced price typically less than 50% of spot.
No they are aware of the logistics of regularly hauling fuel to the front lines. The fewer resources that can be devoted to hauling and protecting your supply lines the more resources you can devote to actual fighting. Also there will always be enough money to fuel the military, even Germany during WWII with little to no natural oil still managed to fuel it's tanks, planes, and other machines of war. We will find a way like the Germans did.
Not really. The armed forces are looking at the logistics of transporting all that damn fuel regularly to their bases and the giant pain in the ass it is. I heard an interview on NPR a while back (I wish I could remember when it might have been last year when coming back from deer hunting) about how the marines were going to be installing wind and solar with battery storage. Shortly there after the talking heads on the right complained about Obama trying to force the military to be "Green". From the interview NPR had with the Marine Commander the decision was made because it would simplify logistics as they would still be hauling around a phenomenal amount of equipment but instead of generators and regular fuel shipments it would be windmills, solar panels, and battery packs as a one time transport. This simplifies the logistics as they have lower requirements for fuel and won't need to risk it's transport across potentially hostile territory. The other thing the Marine Commander mentioned was that this won't cost any more than is currently being spent.

First, people convert VWs and Mercs (in the US, at least -- no Diesel Volvos here)
I don't know if Volvo is currently shipping new diesels here (I could look it up but don't feel like it), but I sure see a lot of old rusty but still running diesel Volvos driving around up here in Minnesota. A few years back one of my mom's friends had an old (early 80's) diesel Volvo that that had over 300,000 miles on it. It was really rust and when it needed a repair the mechanic refused to put it up on the lift because the rocker panels were so rusted out he was afraid it would be the end of the car. Those older diesels are the ones that people started tinkering with and coveting to bio-diesel so that would include old VW Rabbits along with old 70s and 80s diesel MBs, Volvos, and American trucks. The great thing is that these were cheap vehicles to experiment on as you could find a running one for not much money (used luxury cars lose a lot of value and are a great deal) especially if you didn't car what it looked like. My understanding is that the old MB diesels were among the easiest to convert but the others weren't that much more difficult.
Only more relaxing if you take in the whole experience and get high as a kite. I will agree on the far nicer even without additional chemical assistance.
This seems much closer instead of the fake 3D as I always hear people complain that it isn't 3d unless they can walk around it. Besides if you wanted a holodeck just have one of these as your floor but don't try to sit on the projected chair.
I am always surprised at the poor vacuum and wiring layout of vehicles from the 80s especially on American cars. The worst vacuum system I saw was on the electronically controlled carburetor of my 85 Olds Cutlass Supreme, and wiring wise had to have been my 88 Ford Bronco II (why would you run a wire loom between the intake manifold risers and mount the ignition control module on the distributor right above down pipes for the exhaust).
And since they have a number of original 1980s chassis, they can sell them as "reconstructed" 1980s cars, and they don't need to worry about modern safety and environmental requirements.
So true a vehicles age is based off of the date of the chassis. This allows all sorts of fun thing with older cars and is why my project car is going to be a super charged alcohol burner. A few years back I remember reading about some original AC Ace chassis that Carrol Shelby and his company had and how they were going produce a few more Shelby Cobras using them. Because the date of the chassis they didn't have to comply with modern emission standards but could dump any modern engine into them.
Aluminum has been used in automobiles for years in cars like the BMW 3.0 CSL (the original one), Honda Insight (original one), Audi A2, BMW 507, Mercedes-Benz 300SL (an option that not all of them had) and probably some others as well. The oldest of these vehicles is the Mercedes-Benz 300SL but the oldest one where it was standard was the BMW 507.
I never wear rubber gloves when preparing really hot chilies but always remember to wash your hands before going to pee. I spent 30 minutes curled up on the floor in the fetal position once after cutting up some bhut jolokias for chile once. It doesn't affect my hands but they are really callused but more sensitive skin is a different story.
Your mouth does get desensitized if you eat it frequently enough. I like really spicy food if it has a good flavor (best dish I ever had at a restaurant was chicken tikka tikka extra spicy when I was in Pune, India) but when they do stuff like going for the pure hotness I don't get that. When I was in college everyone always wanted me to eat a blazing wing (the hottest they had at the time) at Buffalo Wild Wings, for me they aren't all that spicy but they tasted awful and I would always get better tasting ones. I love the flavor of jalapeno peppers, bird's eye chili (thai chili pepper), cayenne peppers, and chipotle peppers, and bell peppers the really hot ones I toss about a dozen into a gallon chile to give it a good kick.
But tissue inflammation could explain why the contestants in the Killer Curry contest said they felt like chainsaws were ripping through their insides.
Just wait until they take a crap the next day. I know when I eat really spicy food (habanero and hotter) it feels like I am crapping a tactical nuke that is going off in my ass.
Male birth control exists but the on/off isn't in pill form and sometimes when reversed still doesn't work. It is only minor surgery and the initial consultation takes longer than the actual procedure. Considering that there aren't chemical signals telling males to produce or not produce the fact that they are making any progress on a male pill is impressive to me.

So which party were we talking about? The only difference between them is in what freedoms get restricted and what they piss the money away on.

I thought the same thing and probably did the same searches you did so I like almost everyone is still wondering who.
Only if we figure who she is, but if we link to the IMDb page we will be fine in Canada.
From the article she won't provide a name but she is from Texas, of Asian descent, has an Americanized name, and is approaching 40. Any ideas?
Rolling around naked in it laughing like maniacs...
And this is why I no longer use cash.
But what I'd like is the "world's most stimulant" music
I would vote for "Ride of the Valkyries", "In the Hall of the Mountain King", or "O Fortuna"

How about have this in your living room floor so that you are really immersed in the environment.
This seems much closer instead of the fake 3D as I always hear people complain that it isn't 3d unless they can walk around it. Besides if you wanted a holodeck just have one of these as your floor but don't try to sit on the projected chair.

IIRC the hover/flying system was also powered by the Mr. Fusion.

If spicy food caused stomach cancer, northern India would be a hotbed. It isn't.
Southern India has spicier food according to all of my Indian coworkers.
Your mouth does get desensitized if you eat it frequently enough.
