Lackman did not have to let anybody into his home that morning. But it presented a legal catch-22: if he hadn't, he would be in breach of a court order and could have been subjected to fines or imprisonment.
Uh, this statement makes no sense. Of course he didn't 'have to' let anybody into his home, but the threat of legal action compelled him to.
I don't 'have to' let cops into my home, even with a search warrant... but they'll just bust down my door and arrest me for not letting them in. How is this situation different?
I'm also curious how a court order gets imposed on somebody that isn't even given a chance to argue against it in court. His first chance to contest it is when they show up to his door and threaten him? Seems really strange to me.
Lawsuits aren't handled by "governmental" courts. In first-world countries, great care is taken to make the judiciary independent of the government.
You're kidding, right? The courts are most definitely part of the government. In the US, the Constitution clearly states it is one of the three branches of government. Judges are selected and approved by the other two branches.
Did you mean that great care is taken to make the judiciary independent of political influence?
...that impact the company, its share owners, and ultimately the hard-earned pensions of thousands of New York City workers," New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer...
How the hell is Facebook responsible for the pensions of New York City government workers?
This is one of the main reasons I still have a landline. All companies that I do business with have the landline number, and I never give out my cell for any reason. They call my landline during the day (while I'm not there), I listen to whatever voicemails they leave, and I don't worry about getting constantly bugged on my cell all day.
Not only do you have to trust the exchange you are getting the call from, but you must trust the exchange that connected to that exchange, and so on, all the way to the original caller
But how does a call get too a phone number then? If I dial phone number 1234, how does my carrier know what final exchange that number is located at? And if they do, why are they accepting a phone number dialing out from a different exchange that doesn't match the info for me placing a call to 1234? I'm sure there is some technical reason for it, but It still seems screwy to me.
But you then have to waste an hour or two recharging your vehicle every time you go on a weekend trip that even slightly exceeds your range. Sounds like you aren't really 'saving' any time.
"Tesla used to offer the option to buy a Model S or Model X with a 75 kWh battery pack software-locked at a capacity of 60 kWh,"
The option was more about offering a less expensive battery pack without having to produce a different size pack, which helps streamline production.
Can somebody explain how a 75 kWh battery pack in the 60 kWh version is cheaper than the 75 kWh battery pack in the 75 kWh version? If they are both the same 75 version... how is one 'cheaper' than the other?
...but it's more of just a long term rental. I've never bought an online movie. If I want to buy a movie, I go buy the DVD, and maybe rip it to my hard drive to watch on other devices.
I think you missed my point. It has nothing to do with friends or not friends. It has to do with white vs. black. Just SAYING the word nigga in conversation (not calling someone or a group of people that) as a white person would automatically get you labeled a racist. If you are black... don't worry about it. It's fine since you have the correct skin color to use that word.
Ok,/. what the eff is a "Filter error: Lameness filter encountered"?
So, are we expecting that police officers, when looking for a suspect, will not go to the most obvious feature of a person while scanning a crowd? How would that conversation go?
Officer 1: OK, let's search for that black guy that is suspected of robbing that bank.
Officer 2: Gottcha. I'll look for some guys with black skin and....
Officer 1: No, no, no. Don't LOOK for guys with black skin. That's racist.
Officer 2: Soooo... I SHOULDN'T look for guys with black skin? Isn't that the guy we are trying to arrest?
Officer 1: Well, yes, you should LOOK for a black guy, but don't ACT like you are looking for a black guy!
Really? Black men refer to other men as their 'boys' all the time. Of course, they call each other 'my nigga' all the time and nobody cares. But if you are white and say those things... oooooooohhh boy, I mean, ooooooooh man!
Three of the 27 recounts actually REVERSED the original outcome.
And you seemed to completely ignore my mention of the Florida 2000 election, where TEAMS of counters couldn't arrive at the same conclusion (by hundreds or thousands of votes)

Or is unreadable or double marked or scribble out with a new selection... etc. etc. etc. Paper is better than computer, but is not foolproof as you would think. Florida had paper ballots in 2000. That went so smoothly...

So, even operated every day, they would only have revenue of about $500k/year? Even if they could somehow build this tunnel system for $5mil (which I highly doubt), and even if this thing ran with zero overhead operational costs, you are STILL looking at a decade to break even.
I actually doubt you could pay for the operational costs for $500k/year.
The German Lifeguard Association has made a direct connection between children getting into difficulty in the water and parents being too busy on their mobile phones to notice. More than 300 people have drowned in Germany so far this year.
But, FTFA
Among the drownings have been more than 20 children under the age of 15, and 40 young women and men between the ages of 16 and 25.
So, the VAST majority of the drownings are adults. Only about 6% children. so how are adults being on their phones causing kids to drown? The article makes NO link to cell phone use. Stupid article...

FBI can't investigate a rape properly...
Given that there were no allegations of rape against Kavanaugh, I'm not sure what you are referring to.
...but they can investigate Tesla to find out if they're making as many cars as they say they are?
So.... the FBI is never allowed to investigate ANYTHING ever again because you think they didn't handle some other investigation properly? OK.

So "alarm bells" went off in his head four times and he kept giving out his information?
Because no alarm bells went off. He's just trying to make it sound after the fact that he isn't completely naive, I suspect.

Recounts rarely result in more than a change by one or two votes.
That's not even close to true. Al Franken became senator due to a recount that swung around 500 votes. And that's not some outlier.

So, no it is not 'one or two' votes.
... or reduce the speed"
I'm having trouble figuring out how a reduce speed would reduce the load on a bridge. Anybody have an idea how that works?
And what happens when that box from a certain precinct that votes a certain way disappears? Or is 'counted' a certain way by certain people? Or is unreadable or double marked or scribble out with a new selection... etc. etc. etc. Paper is better than computer, but is not foolproof as you would think. Florida had paper ballots in 2000. That went so smoothly...
1. Touchscreen for voters to input their selections. This information is stored digitally in this system.
2. Based on this input, a paper ballot is printed out in human readable form with clear printed marks next to selections for voter to verify.
3. This paper printout is then optically scanned by a 2nd system (independent of the 1st system). This information is also stored digitally.
4. The two computer systems cross check the data and verify that they match.
5. As a bonus, you now have a paper printout to go back to if there are any irregularities.
6. You are welcome. Enjoy your democracy...
