Yucca scrapped, no new contenders to my knowledge for centralized waste storage...
This is a huge problem in spent pools nationwide.
Speaking of which... what's keeping us from launching that crap into the sun?
And don't tell me it's cost - money isn't everything, especially when talking about compounds that have the potential to literally foul the planet for centuries.
You write as if people haven't served jail time after being extradited across the country for running pr0n BBS or in custody today for doing things illegal in the US while in a foreign country?
You write as if source citation is unnecessary, as though everyone else on the planet has had the exact same experience and exposure as yourself.
Do they really have to ask, as long as it's within their borders?
Extradition treaties. You live in.us and uploaded a wedding picture of your wife showing bare ankles to facebook? Hopefully the religious authorities in Afghanistan will be lenient with your extradited there for punishment... all in exchange for other countries extraditing I.P. violators to the USA.
Yea. And Obama's gonna take away yer guns, PPACA sets up death panels for granny, FEMA is building concentration camps in Louisiana, et. al.
...Yeah. Yeah it is. Are you fucking retarded?!? Like no, seriously... are you mentally handicapped.
Anger aside, this is actually a very valid, important thing to mention.
Case in point - a few months ago, a 17-year-old autistic boy was struck and killed by a car. it was 2 AM, and he was sitting in the middle of the street just past a low hill, which made him impossible for the driver to see until it was too late.
When asked why their autistic son was sitting in the middle of a public street at 2 o' clock in the morning, the parents responded, "we always let him do what he wants."
Incidentally, the parents are attempting to sue the driver for - brace yourselves - negligence.
It also doesn't vaporize at room temperature like gasoline does. A spark can start a gasoline fire, whereas diesel fuel needs to be atomized. Geeks should know this.
Drawbridge works by looking at the cookie data that comes with a request from a mobile or desktop browser or app to an ad exchange, and using its “bridging” algorithm to assess the probability that any two arbitrary cookies from different devices are associated with the same person. The Web cookies that Drawbridge uses [allegedly] contain anonymous, relatively benign information, such as the browser client, the site accessed, and a time stamp. Unlike a method known as device fingerprinting, Drawbridge doesn't rely on technologies that directly track user activity, or report geolocation or other invasive device identifiers... Once they reach a threshold of certainty that two cookies represent the same person, they call it a match.
Here's hoping my own browsing habits don't match too closely with any person the government has decided to put on its "disposition matrix..."
Communication to and from the commitee must be in black ink. Communication to and from the board must be in blue ink. There will be 100 intern positions for blue to black transcription. And another 100 for black to blue transcription.
No, no, it's just the one intern - the "100 interns" figure is the result of a budget oversight, which has been corrected by re-directing the salaries for the other 99 into individual Congress-critters' inside trading slush funds.
... which will delegate to a sub-committee, which will branch off into intersessions, which will be all attended by a single, unpaid intern with a legal pad and one blue pen.
FYI, all official notes and correspondence must be written in black ink.

does such a place exist?
Sure; about 100 km above the surface.

I'm still reeling from the shock of learning that Vince Offer is in Syria...
The part past your fingernail will.
Perhaps, but to cut off enough to effect typing, as mentioned by GP?
oh, THIS!
A thousand times over!

Just FYI, guys, it's not cruelty. You don't actually cut their wings, just their feathers
Huh.
That might explain why I got fired from Petco...
You can cut the tips of people's fingers off and they'll grow back
Wow, what a fucking moron.
"So cruel to birds" he says munching on his KFC. "Pass me another bucket of wings!"
Hey, those fuckers were deep-fried humanely, you insensitive clod!
How is this material any better than wearing a fiberglass t-shirt all day? Sounds pretty itchy - and unhealthy.
Probably because optical fiber != fiberglass.
(For those not familiar, home heating oil is the exact same material as diesel fuel, just taxed differently)
Did not know that (heating oil isn't very popular where I live)
Learn something new every day!

Those of us who drive diesels, do :)
It's been scientifically proven
Then prove it or STFU, wanker.

You... don't understand how the firehose works, do you?

Well, thanks for that astute observation, Captain Fucking Obvious, whatever would we do without you?
On a side note, you're a bit harder to recognize without the mask and cape....
When the zombie apocalypse comes, a Model M will be second only to a shotgun as a means of self-defense.
Second to a shotgun?? Haven't you learned anything from zombie flicks?
:)
Type M's don't run out of ammo
Maybe it's time to do a big reset and start the "Old School Republican" party?
Pretty sure that's commonly referred to as "Libertarianism"
I have the worlds only 80386DX connected to the internet.

Challenge Accepted.
True; even more so if this law, like so many others, isn't enforced.
