I've been seeing reports of this so called clock for a long time and I can't help pointing out that so far, for thousands of years, every single prediction of the end of the world and humanity has been wrong.
Big rigs are what damage the roads. If they pay for the damage they do it gets spread around to all of us and doesn't penalize all of us who try to drive efficient cars.
I used to work at a large downtown church and there were hundreds of pigeons that roosted on the church after a nearby building was torn down. The janitors had to sweep and wash down the steps daily to keep the droppings down to the point where people wouldn't have to wade through the mess every time they came into the church. We started live trapping them, using water for bait and after they were live trapped we sold them to a shooting club. That way they didn't come back. Ever. After a couple of months of trapping and a hawk moving in to one of the bell towers we no longer had a problem.
Not even one to rule them all just one computer on the entire campus. Actually there was only the one computer that ran the schedules for that college, all of the high schools in that part of the state and at least three different colleges. Fortran students submitted their cards to be run and it usually took a week or so for an entire class to be run. Calculators were rare and expensive, they cost about $350 for a TI. In 1977 my wife took the Fortran programing class in Grad school. Her cards were run once, there was no more time to run them again.
Yes, I did. On more than one of the most egregious of them I called their 888 or 800 number and complained to the poor powerless little girl that answered the phone. One insurance company called me back, some VP and asked what the problem was and I told him. About a week later all of a sudden the ads got quieter. Before my complaint I had to come in from the other room to mute their ad because it was too loud. The lawyer never bothered to call me back.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Sorry I ran out of breath to laugh any longer. I have a decibel meter app on my phone and I've seen levels go from the middle 50s during the program to the upper 60s during the ads. The app isn't probably that accurate but that is a really big jump, enough to cause me pain sometimes. There is one ad from a local lawyer that jumps up to 70 at one point. Guess who I won't be calling for legal services. The industry has listened to and ignored citizen complaints for 50 years. What makes you think they will change now?
Beside Asimov for younger kids mine liked the L. Frank Baum Oz books, which are more fantasy. Also Heinlein's early juvenile fiction was written for the age group that you are asking about.
If I were a politician, which I'm not, too lazy for one thing and don't like people that much, but if I were I'd be totally delighted to win any race with 57% of the voters voting for me. I believe that's what most winning politicians would call a mandate for their policies.
I bet he won't even get half of that as the lawyers will get a good portion. The idea of this kind of settlement is to make the defendant not do it again. You can bet that in morning roll call there will be some orders there about not arresting people for using phones to record police.

If a turkey makes it to Thanksgiving it will get served on Christmas, not Thanksgiving.
I guess the point is that they have all been wrong but people keep making them. They never seem to learn about predictions not working.

Farewell Dell. I feel sorry for any employees with retirement there.

Now that would be some well aged sharp cheese.

When it comes down to a trial the recording will be lost. Bet on it.
So now we will be able to order generic Viagra from Canadian pharmacists. Exactly where and what is the change from things as they are?
Exactly what are the drugs supposed to help?

They must have missed some. My aunt got a call this afternoon from them.
Wish I had some mod points. That's a good one.
I could tell you but...
Yes, I did.

Cue the lawyers.
You know if the oil companies think that there is recoverable gas or oil in Vermont the oil companies will try to go after it.
Get the money first and then manufacture the product.
