Spritzing the walls of homes with a little diluted DDT kills mosquitoes nicely but since someone with a beef against Dow made up a wild story about it killing eagles the stuff got banned.
Come on, what ability are you talking about? Even petty criminals can jam GPS. The signal is so weak you can build a jammer yourself or even order one on ebay if you are too lazy.
Maybe you mean "nearby vehicles" or "in a theater" but WTF order a jammer on eBay to jam gps for Norway??
I STILL think Sears could eat Amazon's lunch, but I know it won't happen; they will continue to evaporate to nothing.
Sorry but you're a little behind on current events. Sears could have eaten Amazon's lunch 15 years ago but they're in bankruptcy proceedings. And not the reorganization kind but the 'sell everything off and liquidate because we give up' kind.
Do a great job taking care of the homeless and your city will become a magnet for the homeless of the nation..
The hard part is defining "taking care of"... Handouts of food, clothing, gender reassignment operations, free recreational drugs and even just shelters for occasional bad SF weather don't help the homeless much but that's almost certainly what this new tax will help pay for. Most of them need medication (non-recreational) and supervised long term care and rehab. The rest need job training and/or an address to put on applications.
My wife registered as preferring one of the parties here in our state. And she has gotten over 100 pieces of mail from that party
I registered as unaffiliated so as not to be a pawn in the gerrymandering wars but that didn't stop me from getting 5 text messages to my cell from the Democrats urging me to vote for their candidates.
A LOT of products from China spy on you, have backdoors, steal your logins, etc?
This can all be overcome since it's just software but the real problem with made in China by a Chinese brand is the horrific working conditions. Made in China for some western brand at least has some leverage to insist on somewhat humane conditions but local brands are brutal.
My old pre-wifi Roomba cleans the kitchen floor daily thanks to a simple timer. Why would I want to have to verbally command it from another location daily?
Now he's become part of the big government problem. Just another hog feeding from the $4 trillion trough.
Spoken like someone who has absolutely no idea how staggeringly wasteful big government procurement has become. If only the government could get office suppies by Prime the taxpayers would save billions.
OK, I get it if some people can be mislead by a bot saying "Senator Bedfellow eats babies" but how does one get fooled into not voting by a bot saying "only idiots vote, just don't do it..." ?
Better yet, design train stations with "Entrance and Exit Only" platforms/sides and delay the enter door opening until people are moving out the exit door. In one side, out the other.... You end up with larger train stations, but you would decrease exiting and loading times.
This is exactly the solution BUT it makes underground stations way more expensive to build. The Beijing subway is a prime example; almost all stops are same side and have the huge bottleneck problem. But there are a couple of transfer stations with different sides and a few seconds delay between the exit doors opening and the entrances opening. It makes a world of difference.
And if you have ever actually LOOKED at these medians they are generally designed so people can't do stupid ass u-turns on highways, good fucking luck landing on that. Just saying.
In an emergency landing the goal is to skid to a stop somehow without dying, not touching down neatly. Highway medians work nicely.
There's one pool of money at the end. If you require $$ to go to the people in the class, it's not available to go to the lawyers.
Please read the summary; the case in question paid 3/8 of the money to the layers, not 8/8ths. The remaining 5/8 did not go to the people being represented but to "six universities and organizations". That is what the suit in the article is about. The layers can indeed be on the lookout for a payday (the concern of the person I responded to) AND the people being represented can get something instead of "six universities".
The threat of lawyers suing for a big payday is the only thing keeping most companies honest in my neck of the woods.
You may have misread; this isn't about prohibiting the layers from getting a big payday. It's about the people supposedly being represented in the suit getting nothing at all.
Sir, my first job was programming binary loadlifters—very similar to your vaporators in most respects.
Just how hard is it to lift a binary that it needs a programmable lifting machine or are those people really so spoiled for automation of every little task?
Ego-stroking Talking heads will always be egoi-stroking talking heads...
Speaking of talking heads, this is right out of that old 80's show, Max Headroom, where the TV station with the most viewers at voting time got their candidate into office.
Income tax, inheritance tax, even VAT, all that crap is subject to waaaay to many loopholes. But it doesn't matter if Joe is a billionaire or a pauper, he buys something at the register or gets it delivered, tax that sale and it's much simpler to audit and enforce than all the other tax methods combined.
40+ years and trillions of dollars after Johnson declared war on poverty and here we are wondering how to enslave more generations in poverty with even more expensive schemes.

Indeed, soldiers must be able to navigate with paper maps too.
The exercises were in Norway. Soldiers must navigate with sunstones.

Yeah but with a black population still over 50% it's going to be a crime-ridden hell hole. i hope you like gangbangers!
You've never been to Crystal City, have you? It's a fortress of whiteness.

You do not need AI for that. Just a Muslim Jihadist in a Truck of Peace.
Should AI driven cars in muslim countries be programmed to swerve to run over pedestrians if a koran is in the road?

Yet the 100% of their income that poor people spend have an onerous amount of corporate income tax built into the prices of everything they buy.
Because rich people never spend money on anything other than small items $100 or so at a time?
