You are correct. i should have said uses of privately purchased guns. As in, I used my handguns about 1200 times last year (if use equals shot at a target) or about 20 times if you count each outing to shoot at targets.
Is causing damage to paper targets and watermelons, etc. considered an unacceptable use. You do realize that 99.9999999999% of privately purchased weapons are not used for any other purpose,don't you?
Yes, we predict more of the bigger storms and when they don't materialize it is a "simple" matter of weather being complex. Yeah, we get it, it is so complex you can't accurately predict it so shut up about it already.
You are aware that we have always had "extreme" weather events and will continue to have extreme weather events in the future.The prediction of more extreme weather included a far larger number of storms and with that far larger number more reaching the States. Neither materialized. That is, the number of extreme weather events in the Atlantic did not increase.
Even if we treated ISPs as utilities, they could still differentiate data just like this. Utilities are allowed to differentiate between residential and commercial customers for rates, water utilities are allowed to charge different connection rates depending on whether the hookup is for indoor use or just outdoor use, etc.
"why should they have any say over what you do with it?" Because they are responsible for maintaining a network that services more than just one person and they have a general idea what individuals can do with smartphones so they design and sell data plans based on that assumption. They have a say because they own the infrastructure that they are leasing (in general terms) to their customers.
Why should a landlord have any say about what you do in your apartment or how many of your friends, family and acquaintances you have living with you, as long as you pay the rent? Maybe because all your neighbors have expectations about traffic (foot or otherwise) and noise and the landlord has expectations about water usage and such and it is easier to set a reasonable expectation of usage based on a number of occupants than to write contracts differently.
Bottom line is that if you wanted unlimited tethering data, then T-Mobile was not the provider to go with.
Except the contract did say that "data is not data" because it differentiated between data destined to stay on the phone and data just passing through the phone to another device. Data may just be data for some purposes, but for the purpose of being in compliance with a signed T-Mobile contract, it appears that it is not.
"This in a relatively sparsely populated country" That is the key right there. Populated enough to justify the cost of towers yet sparse enough that the towers won't be overburdened. As for special subsidies... Do the providers own or lease the land the towers sit on? Does the government? Does the government help out with tower siting and such or are the providers completely on their own?
How about the opposite... what the hell are those dimwit democrats thinking giving taxpayer money to all those subsidized housing dwelling lazy-ass SOBs who are unwilling to take all those "jobs Americans don't want so we have to allow illegal immigrants to swarm the borders." They want food so bad they can take that job they don't want or starve.
Most of those out on the edges where this infrastructure is going are out there so they can grow the food you keep stuffing yourself with. Are you so damn stupid that you think food magically plants and harvests itself?
So, when any employee of any company sits down on their desktop (for this context, laptop is equivalent to desktop) computer and writes up a memo or white paper or some guidance to a group in word_processor_here> have they A) done nothing valuable for the company or B) violated your rule?
Additionally, truckers and pilots also have government issued photo IDs, so why are they on the list of "homeless who need help obtaining a photo ID". The leftist brain failing again.

So socialism says that the most highly trained people in society must be slaves (literally, because they don't get paid) to the rest of society?
No wonder everyone claims that the reason socialism and communism never quite work out is because they were never fully or properly implemented.
Uh no, drivers licenses are a fairly recent invention in the US.

I believe that is the point the AC was trying to make.
Now, now. Don't be talking facts to a liberal arts major, they don't like facts. They are cold and hard and liberal artsy people like warm and fuzzy.
Who was holding the "gun" to the head of the Uber drivers and demanding that they drive for Uber?
You are correct. i should have said uses of privately purchased guns. As in, I used my handguns about 1200 times last year (if use equals shot at a target) or about 20 times if you count each outing to shoot at targets.
If it is good for guns, it is good for computers and cars.
Ordinary citizens ARE the professionals doing this.

No, as we say in America, open carry is banned but concealed carry is accepted.
Either way is taking action. Subcommittees and leadership considered and took the action of rejecting the proposal.
Oh yes, Republicans pushing excessively high minimum wages targeted only at big business (and certain small business) and gun control, etc.

Congress did not fail to act; it failed to act in accordance to the desires of those who wanted the change.
There is a huge difference.

And that information is already available to the researcher. Even the summary said that.

Let me guess, you sell mainframes for a living.

See you could not respond with "racism".
