Nope. the likelihood of them remaining ad free is about the same as not seeing any more Bennett Haselton navel gazing posts about solutions to first world problems.
Always, as well as most of the other work on the cars.
Make your own peanut butter?
No but I haven't eaten peanut butter in close to 20 years, I do make my own jams though.
Bake your own bread?
Yes and I love the smell that lingers for about a day after doing so.
Build your own furniture?
Yes because I can't find good furniture for prices that aren't extortion level priced. That and you try finding a solid walnut desk.
While I understand the need to make things other people's problems there is a real sense of accomplishment when you do something your self. Once you get good at doing things you can generally do a better job than the quick and dirty you paid someone. When I change oil I actually spend the time while the oil is draining to check things that should be checked regularly, like belts, hoses, suspension, wheel bearings, lights, etc. I also will take care of things like knocking some of the dust and dirt out of the air filter, and changing the power steering fluid that is in the reservoir, charging the battery all the way, greasing the wheel bearings. Now add in that I can do a full synthetic fluid change for about $50 on a vehicle that has a 7 quart oil capacity and takes a rather expensive canister filter. The 45 minutes I spend changing oil I come out ahead since I would spend about 45 minutes to go get it changed and get back from the rapid oil change place and they do a shitty job which costs more and likely they would cross thread the drain plug.
Hell in the US one the the most effective theft deterrent systems is a manual gear box. Then add in not keeping anything valuable laying around in your car and you could probably leave it unlocked in most cases.
It's amazing what a long-handled flat-bladed screwdriver will do to your average pin/wafer tumbler lock...
I am always shocked at how many people don't know that trick. I did that to an old fire chest I had that in all the moves I had lost the key and the fire chest was only $30 so it was the quick and simple route. Also if you damage the pins and tumbler enough just about anything will work as a key as those things wear out. The ignition on my old Bronco II was so worn I could use a small pocket knife blade in the key slot to start it. For security forget padlocks since the easy way around them has and always will be an angle grinder. Working at a U-Haul with a storage facility we were always dealing with units for non payment and eventually would auction off the contents. The day of the auction you go out with the angle grinder cut the lock, let the bidders have a peak shut the door, and sell it. A nice silicon carbide or diamond coated cutting wheel goes through those locks like a hot knife through butter, even these recommended locks.
Sounds like all you are missing would be an orgy in the cafeteria. Speech is protected even if it is offensive vile speech. A very similar case to your Holocaust Denier's one was litigated all the way up to the US Supreme Court.
I'm approaching the 5 gallon mark as well now and give every 2 months. For me it is something that I need to do to prevent illness as hemochromatosis runs very strongly in both sides of my family. I figure I am doing my self some good and doing other people some good at the same time since if I actually were to develop hemochromatosis I would still need to get drained but the blood would be of no use. As an added benefit I am an universal donor with O- so it is always an in demand donation.
I have to replace my card every 12-18 months because the stupid mag stripes wear out so I don't see how this is any different. I would welcome chip and pin if it is more robust.
I think the ROTFLing was because of the belief that magically when the minimum wage goes up that the people who remain skills are suddenly worth more the day after a minimum wage hike as they were the day before. It isn't like the dollars suddenly became worth less overnight. Also working in the restaurant with automated systems doesn't necessarily mean the workers that remain are of higher caliber. Assuming that the only people to get shit canned by automation becoming cheaper than the new minimum wage are the cashiers that still leaves the fry cooks, burger flippers, order assembly people, and people who take your money and hand you your food at the drive through. The skill set possessed by these people will remain unchanged thus not requiring a bump in pay.
I have written plugins to do this and variations on this. Also since there isn't a difference between NagiosXI and Nagios Core as far as this is concerned it is just as applicable to both.
You can have them I don't much care for duck or goose but will hunt goose and give it people in the party if they eat it. I understand it is better when smoked for a long time as that helps with the greasiness of it which is what I don't like.
You have OBVIOUSLY never been to a real third world country, or anywhere even close. What you call an unmaintained road is like a forty lane superhighway in some places.
Yet some places in my own state have roads that make crappy paths in the planes of Africa look like 4 lane super highways. Seriously on some of these official roads you need high clearance and real 4WD (posi or locking diffs on both axles) while on others you may be fording a river, bottoming out on rocks (even with a high clearance vehicle), or running over trees in the middle of the road. These aren't off road trail but official signed roads but are minimum or unmaintained roads. I am sure there are worse roads out there than these but at that point it is like having a conversation about who's shit smells the best while ignoring the fact that it is all shit.
I make use of rather large publicly available GIS data sets that can be pulled in on demand. Think of it kind of like Google maps on steroids, then toss in that my wife also like to watch streaming shows while I work and a 6Mbit connection would choke (I use to have a business class one and it did choke and become basically unusable). The largest of these data sets are usually the LIDAR, ground cover, and high res aerial photography which can all easily go into the 10s of Gigs in size for a state. Yes I am one of those people who regularly goes over 1TB in downloads a month, and all of it is legal usage. Just because you can't effectively make use of a high speed connection doesn't mean others can't.
Great so this way the only in network doctors that my insurance plan will cover are ones who work on the other side of the planet and I can't understand.
A bond is an IOU, but US Treasury Bonds are special in that they will not default on them, but they are not the same thing as pallets of $100 bills sitting in a warehouse. The part of these discussion I take issue with is the X thousands of dollars per citizen in unfunded liabilities. While based in fact it is the amount that would be needed to be taken right now to cover expenses for the next 75 years assuming no change in incoming revenue or decrease in projected benefits. It is just a big scary number used to show how out of control government spending is.
The more immediate problems is that for a long time when social security was taking in more than it sent out it purchased US Treasury Bonds which provided money to the general fund which was spent on things and that spending on various other programs hasn't gone down. Now that is starting to change and social security is no longer taking in more in tax than it is sending out (the trust fund is still increasing due to interest) so there is less available in the general fund. In the future money from the general fund will need to be diverted to pay back the US Treasury Bonds as social security cashes them in. At some point in the future the social security trust fund will have redeemed all of its US Treasury Bonds and if nothing has been done social security would be able to pay ~75% to ~80% of promised benefits with what it takes in. The interesting thing is the month that that transition happens is that it would cost the same amount out of the general fund to continue to fund benefits at 100% as it did the previous month since the redeemed US Treasury Bonds used to pay benefits were payed out of the general fund. And if you think I a full of shit there is always the first few pages of the social security trustees report that they put out each year that you can access that has the exact dates. If you really want to get into the details just read the full report but I think only people who are actuaries would enjoy such a thing.
More Americans have married Kim Kardashian than have died from Ebola.
Given that choice I think I would take Ebola. I would be less likely to have some horrible disease.
Seriously with Eboal I would only have one horrible disease, but being married to any of the Kardashians would ensure that I end up with at least half a dozen horrible ones if not more. Add in that I would have to look at that awful face and deal with that horrendous personality and I would be begging to have my insides turn into a jelly and leak out of every orifice.
No. Bombing things in the Middle East is always the solution to our problems over there. The reason it hasn't worked is that there is a lot of sand and it blows around so covers up our good work. We just need to drop more bombs more frequently. I mean we have some MOABs that could be put to some good use and would make some reasonable holes that would take a while to fill back in. Fill the air with B2s, C130s, F117s, and B52s so it blots out the sun and bomb away.[/sarcasm]
Personally I thing we should let the various individuals over there sort it out since what ever side we help is just going to piss at least one other side off. There are Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims, Kurds, Persians, Arabs, Jews, Palestinians, and a hand full of other more minor groups, not to mention the various nationalities (no sure how jingoistic they are) and it seems that if all combinations aren't right then you need to kill the other guy. Now add in that they seem to have the concept of blood feud and this seems like something any rational person should stay away from. It sounds cruel but if they want to kill each other let them, if they want to be left the hell alone we should help evacuate civilans who don't want to be caught in the middle of fighting over some desert but other than that no involvement.

Go back far enough and you could get a tractor conversion kit for your model T.

Also ask if GPS is a giant hoax since it relies on relativistic effects to provide accurate timing.

But there is still the disparate impact of their actions even if entirely unintentional which could make this practice illegal.

Unfortunately no. They were developed on my employer's time for our customers so they own them.

There's no poisonous snakes native to Nova Scotia dontchano, so what ya be needing a gun for?
I hear hunting is quite popular in Canada so may be moose, ducks, or the most awful thing from Canada ever that need to be gunned down in mass.
If this is terrorism and Canada decides to wrongly go after something I suggest the Canadian Geese as that would at least be useful.
Then we need a bit of clarity on the Hobo Power scale.
But the cupboard is bare or so I have been told.
That is just a Turkey of a deal.
Hey no one I have voted for currently holds office above the city and county level of government and those are the governments that seemingly are least likely to be regularly violating my rights. I keep trying to elect people who won't violate my rights at the federal level but people around me just like a governor who can't seem to find his ass with both hands, or a congressman who is a war hawk who got to carry the nuclear football while in the service.
