Once, whilst I was spending some quality time in the back seat of an LAPD Cruiser, I noticed a list of all the police contacts I had from my earliest childhood, up on a screen in the front. Later, the officer told me to my face that he did not have access to any information aside from my conviction record. Those private data providers aggressively market to our police industry, and that stuff is apparently outside the scope of regulation.
I just integrated a windows box with all the download services switched off. Major improvement, runs as well as Linux but with real Radeon drivers.:) (Unfortunately, my life is so bush-league that I actually have time to check in manually every fortnight.) Every once in a while, wuaserv switches itself on for something, and I don't believe it can be arsed to switch itself back off. I too, find it distressing when "my" machine starts grinding away at its own little side jobs.
My life is far too inane to share like that, but anyone seriously analyzing my information would realize that it was costing far more than it was benefiting them. Advertisers beware!
Back in '78, I met a guy who was built like Tarzan. He told me all he ever did for it was deep breathing and isometric tension exercises whilst sitting at his desk. I do that, and am conscious of my posture while sitting or walking.
Standing/sitting up straight and breathing are probably the most important things you can do for your health.
It may or may not be getting warmer in any given spot, but I bet those slower-growth areas have lowered precipitation. (My wild-ass-guess, don't cite me.) I don't recall any summer rain here when I was a kid, it might have been theirs before.
this vegetation is usually mosses and maybe some low shrubs. It is still pretty cold up there, so no lush forests or anything. It should be more like tundra. Slow growing stuff for sure.
TFA mentions taller shrubs and trees growing now. Perhaps it will not always be tundra.
Deliberate habitat destruction will finish off most of the fauna without climate change, we're just expanding our attack to multiple fronts. I'm thinking topsoil degradation may be the trigger for the coming human extinction series.
We looked into the best-guess projections on the climate change and got land just outside the mega-tsunami zone* near the coast. We're hoping to see continued precipitation on into the end of this century. And we are pretty well more than a tank-full north from Vancouver, FWIW.
Forestry management covers the same ecological standards as golf course management. If the the EPA can't shut you down, you're golden. (Or else you need to start greasing Congress.) Only pinko hippies worry about the air.
Junk mail should pay a higher rate than non-commercial mail. Un-solicited email should be opt-in only, I'd willingly take SPAM @ a dollar per page-view, but I work cheap. Criminal abusers and violators of my system should serve suitable jail terms. (This shit was not a problem before businesses used computers.)
I would pay for an email account that has the same privacy protections as the US postal system.
Stiff penalties for wire fraud, and civil/criminal penalties for perpetrators of SPAM could be legislated for all users, if we elected some one whose interests resembled our own. The fact that security promotes commerce is the principle behind the foundation of the F.B.I.
My use of the word socialist was a facetious reference to the common abuse of that word, or something... As far as I am concerned, universal public access to a postal service, as well as all current modes of communications like the internet, is the least of our requirements if we wish to attain something resembling Liberty.
The Postal Service was sort of a socialist effort to raise up the American people and equalize access to information and commerce. The USPS is primarily a taxpayer subsidy of a few dubious and onerous types of predatory businesses. (Raise the price of junk-mailing, anyone?) The Berkeley city council probably was set up to regulate local social intercourse and promote local business interests,

Generally it works when folks browse at +1 or so, but that POS was overlooked, or the mod system broke for a bit.
Don't give mod points to anyone with less than a six digit UID.
I lurked for a year then got a six-digit UID, but the conure died... There's folks with fresh UIDs who've a lot more to say than me, so I for one don't want to see bigotry rear its ugly head. I do miss the minus karma posting option, for when I want to own my inane comment, but spare the moderators the trouble of bringing it down.
One more reason to ban/regulate insurance, and make health insurers compete free-market against the free national public health service. As that would require the consent of our Fearless Leaders,
It's hard to google up very much info on that [expletive omitted]. He is quite proud of his bona fides of past disservice. He wants to do for corporate criminals what he's done for wealthy voters, protecting them from the vox populi.
Lance was also able to help steer a voter ID bill into law... and was proud to see Texas step up to protect the integrity of our elections.
I'm originally from Los Angeles, and the contrast between the two police cultures seems pretty dramatic to me.
I am not from L.A., and was shocked and dismayed to discover there what the future holds. The LAPD seem to have developed a new police culture, which is coming to be the new dystopian reality throughout the U.S.

My friend Don's Pontiac GTO came equipped with a Ford top-loader four-speed. We always wondered how that happened...
shipments off world.
I expect to be transported in the first load, it's in my genes.

What's that about?

Everybody's gonna want in on this tech!!!
I wouldn't mind the competition even a little bit.

as they say, the rest is history.

I'm pretty sure you'll still want a raw sample, perhaps in ten years?

Yep, they pile it high in Texas.
In this soveriegn nation do they have a thing called television?
He who owns the media controls the government, same as here.
