In both of the two states where I have resided bicycles are vehicles and are allowed to take up a full lane as such. In addition, I believe that in the state I currently live in bicycles are encouraged to go to the front of the line at a stop light.
I do, however, agree that bicyclists need to observe the same rules as other vehicles such as stopping at stop signs and red lights and signalling.
The problem wasn't the communism. The problem was the "show me your papers." We just learned how to import the second part without the first, it seems.
So in all seriousness I actually apologize. Slashdot removed my attempt at a joke because I forgot about how they deal with things that look like HTML tags.
Between my first and second paragraphs should be a </pedantic dickweedery> tag. Apologies all around.
Production of the car, maintenance of the car, production of the windmill and maintenance of the windmill all produce pollution of various forms including hydrocarbon combustion emissions. Also, you'll never get away from pollution completely because heat pollution will occur -- second law and all that.
That said, good on you, assuming you're getting it at a competitive price.
So you're saying the solution is to get/all/ of the US into shooting regularly so as to dilute the tactic of detecting explosives residue into uselessness? Got it.
I'd settle for five days of public comment before signing bills. This was a simple proposal that costs almost nothing to implement and would give some value, if only in name, to public comment.
Ah, I see, you're assuming that market forces are totally rational instead. I wish market forces were totally rational.
Let me spell it out for you -- you think that a 5-25% price difference in salary will make or break a business instead of such things as being first to market, getting lucky on a government contract, or buying the right or wrong start-up. Companies don't win solely because they have the right talent, there are a number of things that have to go right for a company to make it big beyond just talent.
Then again, you're also assuming that women are given the same opportunities to get up to the same skill level as male counterparts whereas this study found that the women were less likely to be considered for mentoring possibilities. Students don't cost mentors anything and there are far more students than mentors, so if there's a systematic bias against equivalent female students receiving equivalent mentoring opportunities then it would make sense that until that bias removed women may never receive the same opportunities in the paid workforce.
Honestly? Whenever the topic comes up and I defend innocence until proven guilty or that convicted sex offenders should be allowed to live a life where they are not constantly persecuted I/do/ worry that others will see me as defending the pedos and vilify me for it.

There's a number of reasons I can imagine this evolving. I would imagine a thought process like this could cause it: "I worked so hard to get where I am, proved beyond all my male peers how skillful I am. If she's not going to prove herself she's not going to get anywhere in this field."
Cop 1 to Cop 2: "So, uh, do you think this should be prosecuted?" Cop 1, thinking: "Damn, I hope Joe doesn't think I'm a pedo for suggesting this might not be worthy of prosecution." Cop 2, thinking: "Damn, Pete will think I'm a pedo if I don't say yes." Cop 1 and Cop 2 in nervous unison, "Uh, yeah."
CPS agent being passed the case from Pete and Joe, thinking: "Well, this must be an honest mistake, right? But I'll lose my job if it's not."
Prosecutor to jury, "You're a pedophile lover if you don't think that sending gross text messages to children is wrong."
Juror 1 to others, "Uh, yeah, I'm not a pedo, so I can't condone this behavior." Juror 4, thinking: "If I say no they'll all think I'm a pedo. Gotta vote guilty. Maybe someone else will stand up for him."
Judge, thinking: "If I don't throw the book at a convicted pedo I'll look like an asshole..."
Appeals judge, thinking: "Well, Judge Green and a jury found him guilty. I'll look like a pedo asshole if I don't uphold. At least I can give him a break and suspend the sentence, right?"
Slashdot: "How the hell could this possibly happen? Obviously an honest mistake, right?"
What is the "simple explanation" for having the children as contacts in his phone?
He was their instructor. It's possible they were running late one day and their mom had them call him to tell him. "Oh, that's Suzy's number. I should put it in my phone so that I know not to screen it if this happens again."

Oh yeah, shooting unarmed civilians would be a complete end to any civilized western nation.
Ah, sorry, didn't realize the dispute was over whether milk was the largest black market rather than whether it was a large black market.
I'd wonder if illegal subletting and illegal loft renting is a larger black market than drugs in NYC though.

Try searching for '"new york" "black market" milk' and you'll get a number of news reports on the issue.

Because it's legally required to trickle down perhaps?

...it would be fuel emissions free.

Or would it be more like God-Emperor by the time anyone else sets foot there?
From what I recall vaguely, Mars has some sort of GPS system set up. Searching it they use GPS towers that give GPS to a small area.

Worked great for Deepwater Horizon.
Croatia?

...you should have created a private retirement account such as a 401k or IRA (or just a simple bank savings account).
With all that money that you were forced by law to pay into Social Security?
Wat?

Okay, now that we all came we should probably get to trying to figure out whys and hows and such.

And since it was the South it was probably its date to prom, too.
You assume managers are totally rational. I wish managers were totally rational.
Wow. That's actually hilarious.
