    Uh right. It's clearly a metaphor that is clearing comparing parking spaces to men. Are they talking that they (women) need to be handicapped to get these good men or that these good men are in some shape or form handicapped and if so what sort of handicap are these women perceiving that makes them decide that these good men aren't worth pursuing?

    Refining oil is not a target of first strike priority. It is a capacity that permits fighting a protracted war. First strike targets are always of direct military value and are designed to eliminate the enemy's ability to wage war. Oil refineries occupy a place somewhere below factories producing equipment like tanks and planes.

  12. Re:Bathe for health on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 1

    I do understand how anti-biotics work. The most commonly prescribed anti-biotics are broad spectrums like amoxicillin due to it being able to affect many bacteria and most diagnoses of conditions not being concrete enough to justify more targeted antibiotics. It's a rather indiscriminate killer of bacteria. It will flush both helpful and harmful bacteria from your colon and that's the one place where there is good evidence suggesting that taking probiotics is helpful. Further, with the lack of evidence suggesting that probiotics are harmful there's really no reason to not use them when you're using an oral broad spectrum antibiotic which is precise the sort of scenario the post I was responding to was talking about.

  21. Re:Just Tack on a Fee on Driverless Cars Could Cripple Law Enforcement Budgets · · Score: 1

    Which is missing the problem. Citations bring in way more revenue than it costs the municipalities.

    In a very simple example, lets say the police department for a city spends $1,000,000 a year. Of that $250,000 covers traffic cops. The city itself spends $9,000,000 on other things for a total annual budget of $10,000,000. Let's say that annually the police department brings in $2,500,000 from speeding tickets with the remaining $7,500,000 covered by taxes and fees. Let's introduce self-driving cars which suddenly reduces the city's revenue from $10,000,000 to $7,500,000. If you cut out the $250,000 that the traffic cops cost the city then they are still running a deficit of $2,250,000 that needs to be covered by some means.

    The other way to look at it is that if a mayor is seeing their monthly/annual revenues dropping below expenditures, he'll lean on the police chief to step up traffic enforcement to increase revenues to cover the shortfall.
