And please leave me my freedom to buy what I want for what reason I want for what price I want.
Take a deep breath. Now let it out slowly and repeat after me: "Everything's going to be okay. No one's going to prevent me from spending as much as I want on a laptop."
We often find perfectly reasonable, relevant, on-topic, insightful and informative comments at -1.
Tell me about it; my comments that get down-modded are always reasonable... j/k; I'm almost certainly one of the biggest assholes on this site - but hey, I try!;)
- NASA has enough money to pay someone to watch the feed, their hand hovering over a giant "SHUT IT ALL DOWN" button. They don't.
No doubt; as many expenditures as the military/industrial complex has saddled itself with, it's absolutely preposterous to think there'd be enough money left in the [black] budget to hire a few censors... and don't go thinking that they could just write an algorithm to spot anomalous objects and cut the feed; the gov't obviously can't get functional, bug-free code implemented in a timely basis if there's lives depended on it...
Just kidding... I really ought to point out, however, that while you may be a writer, you're certainly not much of a thinker.
This wouldn't be for a married couple but rather for a more casual relationship. Why? Because your spouse is going to want to know the mattress suddenly got replaced.
Didnt realize the Peart in question was Neil. BTW, re: Rush, been there, done that and haven't cared for it - too experimental for my boring, conventional tastes or what, I dunno (or maybe I just think these kinda people sound funny).;)
Perhaps a market will emerge for coal-burning steam-engined cars.
Just wait'll they improve and miniaturize the gasification and sequestrion technologies... can you picture us towing around a coal-tender while a huge gasbag on the roof collects the CO2...
Real estate's too expensive; I predict vast floating parking structures just off the coast... when you need your petrol-burning car, you'll fire up an app and a large hex-rotor drone will loft it ashore for you... fuck me; if that's not a killer Kickstarter idea, I don't know what is!
This is nearly a decade from now; it should be a foregone conclusion that charge rates and battery capacities have improved considerably by then (however, I'm not suggesting this isnt a trifle overoptimistic for other reasons).
Slashdot Mirror
but what a load of hogwash.
Your dedicated adherence to the official narrative has been noted. ;)
fresh from beheading a homosexual boy
Was that before or after they were done raping him?
Placards. Pea shooters will likely be banned shortly...

Now don't you just feel better!

Why does no one ever consider the [admittedly remote] possibility that the moon landings were faked... on the moon? :)
I actually would have thought they'd be able to come up with better.
Most don't. ;)
All of this assumes:

"Geez, Honey, you already know I'm a furious masturbator!"
You wouldn't; this is clearly to catch your girlfriend (though I doubt the manufacturer thought that through).

That's probably what the British said; in any case, we kicked them out... so watch yourself.
I wonder if I can buy an offshore for forty-two bucks...
In reality, this is a simple issue of theft and all the guy should have to do is file a police report and wait for the perp at Venmo to get arrested.
Extremely well put.
Fine; can I at least offer them a roast-pork sandwich??
More of a Dire Straights and ELO guy, myself...

supposedly swappable with certain models made for Porsche.
Supposedly?! I take it you're unfamiliar with the Porsche 912 and 914...
Nobody's going to touch your truck or for that matter my Suburban... but what's your plan for when we can no longer afford to drive them??
We have to assume they will hoard cars.
Sure, the same way people hoard buggies and carriages. ;)

Yeah but if I understood the point correctly, the locations of the borders are entirely arbitrary.
