You are forgetting another effective security measure that happened after 9/11. Now people are willing to turn a hijacker/terrorist on a plane into a grease smear on the already sticky airplane carpet instead of sitting by and getting to fly to Cuba as the hijacker demands one million dollars or what ever they use to do.
Well I don't know about this card, but their smaller capacity ones have worked well for me (largest one I have currently is 64GB) and at $33 for a 128 GB card it would be worth a try.
I worked with a guy who wouldn't bend on his perceived form of "correctness"... he usually failed to deliver what was required of him and was an ass to work with, because he couldn't get past being a smug prick to get the job done.
I think I work with that guy except the one where I work just seems to like to hear his own voice and doesn't actually do any work. One comment I made to him one day was "Yes I think unicorns would be cool if they existed but all we have horses and narwhals." Sadly It was completely lost on him.
I think I need to go and register for a few write in campaigns. In Minnesota for a write in to be valid they need to register and personally I would vote for a pile of rocks as it seems a good way to vote none of the above.
You do know that there were non shit cars available in the 90s. My last daily driver was a '97. Sun roof, power windows, power locks, leather seats, tire boiling power if you wanted it, alarm, side air bags, brakes that could put you through the windshield if you weren't belted it. Even in the '80s there were non shit cars, just mostly non american ones. Hell even my '85 528e had an air bag (first year available IIRC), power windows, power locks, 4 wheel disk, sun roof, power seats, power mirrors. That 528e was safe too, I got rear-ended while stopped by some drug addled Mexican who was going 55-60 mph, totaled that car but I walked away without a scratch. I was more pissed because that was my first non trash car and I only owned it for 9 months.
VW is selling completely restored and refurbished beetles from the 60's at very competitive low 20Ks. My next car will be one of these... or a dump truck or a mining truck (you know, the ones with tires 10 feet high).
Same pollution per mile in those options. Although I would likely go with the haul truck (that is was they are called), I wouldn't mind having a 5MW mobile generator on hand just in case.
The only "force" that is involved here is the fact that federal, state, and local tax payers are forced to subsidize a transit system that most don't benefit from and will never use.
I find this somewhat amusing given my experience when Metro Transit went on strike. I found that when they were on strike traffic improve slightly during my commute times. That may have been better planning on people's part or because of the lack of giant mostly empty buses getting on and off of the highway.
Local roads are also a benefit to all of the city and county residents whether they use them or not. The food they consume, mail they receive, garbage hauled away, and government services, fire, police, and ambulance, are all delivered on those roads. Personally I would love to have roads paid for exclusively by taxes and fees by those using them in proportion to the damage they cause, also for fairness you wouldn't be able exempt some vehicles (looking at you buses) from the roles. That becomes a big problem so having things like vehicle registration fees and fuel taxes are reasonable but only work at a state level. In my state at most 60% of some of that income can go towards roads while the rest goes to pay for mass transit. Similar things happen with the federal gas tax. Also do not misconstrue this to mean that currently roads would be fully funded if it weren't for some of that revenue being diverted but mass transit isn't the panacea that it is made out to be either, especially for someone like myself who has a 30-40 minute commute each way by car but if I were to use mass transit it would take 2.5 hours each way assuming no problems or missed connections. The only time I have had a car commute that long was one time when there was a huge snowstorm during the work day and I had things that needed to be done and couldn't get out early to avoid the big mess. Even then the buses were taking longer than usual and who knows how long of a delay I would have had if I had to change buses.
Yeah about that... Applebees has new touchscreen things that they put at our table. You can order from it, pay your bill from it, and request server assistance.
I hate those things. The one time I had to use them, because Red Robbin supposedly won't let you order a malt unless it is through that fucking machine, it didn't work and even the server couldn't get it to work. Now I am a dick and if the server isn't around and no one else is I shuffle them around the dining room so they don't match up with the tables.
Sounds like the Mexican as well as the Lebanese restaurant near my house. Having been going to both for years they just get to know you and since they are the family owned non chain type of restaurant the wait staff never seems to change. I did find it funny that the Mexican restaurant owner did buy the IHOP near by and managed to turn it around quite quickly and provides good quick service with consistent quality unlike before.
I would suggest adding no more than 10-15 items. I only use the self checkout if I have a handful of items that I can scan and drop into a bag quickly as do most people but sometimes there are the people with a heaping full shopping cart. If you exceed the limit they should charge an extra dollar per item to discourage this.
Two words: Chicago politics If we are going to crucify someone by things associated with location then Obama would be just as tied to Chicago politics as Trump would be to AC gambling.
True but in most states a 14 year old is still held legally responsible for their crimes.
If I had my wishlist for voting requirements it would be a basic understanding of government and a simple test to demonstrate that knowledge. These would be things that are taught in a basic 8th grade civics class and things that they should know if they have been conscious for the last few years like what are the 3 branches of government, what is the job of each branch, who is the current president, who are your congress critters, etc. Ideally I would love to see that plus a mandatory requirement that you graduated from high school or got a GED as k-12 education is provided free for all and the founders did want an educated populous. As far as age goes I would prefer that it be
Then in my case it would have been at age 14, granted I got it back when I filled out my tax form but I still did pay into SSI and FICA which far too many people like to included in the income tax bucket. I still don't think it would have been a good idea to have me vote at that age
require a passport or federally-approved ID (no more drivers' licenses) to travel domestically by 2020.
I thought it was this year unless your state got an temporary exemption/reprieve as there was a huge dust-up late last and the year beginning of this year in my state because we didn't have one and have a law that prevents us from implementing the requirements.
Is it really necessary to have every normal mobile phone properly encrypted so law enforcement can't even access it if there is useful data on it?
Yes. As you mentioned encryption is basically all or nothing. Either it is strong enough that it will survive the heat death of the universe or it is broken. If it takes the government a year to crack it now it will take a run of the mill cyber criminal a day in 5 years. Also governments seem to always grow in their abuse of power over time so the correct question is "Do you want someone like to have unfettered access to your information?". If you can't think of anyone to substitute in then you obviously don't have a good imagination, especially since it wouldn't just be people in your own country.
That is why I end up telling recruiters and HR people from the Bay Area and silicon valley to basically piss off. They have what they consider to be a very generous offer and tell them they couldn't pay me enough as I'm not decreasing my quality of life. I then tell them that I was to live in the best or second best school district in the state, in a 1900 sq. ft. house on a 1/2 acre plot that backs up to a wooded park that is within a 45 minute commute of work and within a 2 hour drive of a multi acre lake lot that has over 200 feet of shore line and abuts over a square mile of public land open to hunting, hiking, and ATVs. The main residence must be paid off within 10 years and the recreational lake property is owned outright. I also let them know I would need to be able to afford to save 30% of my income after paying for everything else. I then ask if they can pay me enough to afford that and just maintain my current quality of life and so far none have said that they could meet those requirements. I tell the same thing to people out on the east coast as well and get similar responses. The benefits of being well paid in a lower cost state that isn't broken like CA.

I believe that would be the Bahá'í.
I'll just leave this here, sorry it isn't the obligatory xkcd.

That is one big pile of shit.
It seems to work for a lot of situations.
I worked with a guy who wouldn't bend on his perceived form of "correctness" ... he usually failed to deliver what was required of him and was an ass to work with, because he couldn't get past being a smug prick to get the job done.

So multiple years experience being a crap hammer mechanic, sounds like HR or upper management was involved in writing up the job position.
Yeah about that... Applebees has new touchscreen things that they put at our table. You can order from it, pay your bill from it, and request server assistance.

Well the oracle text is what should be used as there has been attempts at clarifying things and making them uniform across cards.
