Centralized power doesn't want a grid to begin with, it's a waste of Cu/Al &c., it looks ugly and it's quite vulnerable to storm damage. The infrastructure's fucked same as the economy, by the same crew, so an independent system makes sense to people who don't want to suffer inadequacy.

IIRC it took a while for internal-combustion gasoline tech to exceed the performance of the incumbent steam, diesel, and electric power sources. Presently, the incumbent gasoline tech has achieved monumental inertia, but it is primarily the financial interests who are impeding progress to a non-biosphere destroying system. I would prefer to strap myself onto a can of vegetable oil or even kerosene, than to one of gasoline, FWIW. Vegetable oil can be nearly carbon-neutral, as well.
I'm fairly certain that if naptha was only now being proposed as a motor fuel, it would wisely be banned from the public roadways. Pretty damned dangerous.
Not a bad idea. I'd let my $2 bills go if I could use coins, same for $5. I already use the $1 coin and the $2 bill as my primary units (even before $20 bills, at which point I move toward plastic.) I chose my bank based on their policy of stocking the $1 coin and $2 bills. If I need paper money, it's almost always for coffee, beer, or burritos. The service staff immediately correlate the cash used in my purchase with the fat tip in the jar. I'm a star at all my usual spots.
Just because they're doing it wrong is no reason to dismiss fiat currency. Indeed, methinks more people believe in the magical paper than in all the deities of the pantheon. If the magical paper were disbursed by a less self-serving crew*, there could be reasonable justice. Just as arbitrary to continue using gold as an instrument of commerce, btw. Rather than gluing hairs back onto a dead horse's carcass, modern societies could move on.
*Or use self service to promote efficiency: Incompetence merits life in gaol, corruption meets cruel and unusual execution.
The problem is that it is legal to store any SMS content at all, ever. If Congress wants to require the ability to store the content after a warrant has been issued by a Federal Judge, then they need to do it within the legal framework.
Adherence to protocol is a reasonable substitute for skill and discernment. Just one out of three would make the roads safer. Since skill and discernment aren't viable options...

Yes, let the Law have the all liberty it wants, wherever it live.
For fact-checking you'll need to refer to The Daily Mail or The Sun.
Marco Rubio vs: Hilary Clinton 2016, sponsored by the same interested parties, with the same unsavory results.
One of them gets elected.
I provided the link for people who did not know this. Some threads demand a Nazi analogy as the dissimilarities are so few.

*No, I don't fucking lose .
Unless you have money, no one wants to help.
Lots o' money in the SSRI biz, its just too bad murder/suicide is a "rare" side effect.

Ambition is the root of all evil.
Nationalize the Fed.
The dew point is usually lower at night in my region of this planet. I'd call that higher relative humidity, but I'm not a meteorologist.
Between Fuji Film and Kodak, who's concerned about the film photographer? I guess I could start dipping glass plates.

This is what I thought of, those Zeppelin NTs are pretty sophisticated, crew of two, &c. Goodyear is replacing their fleet with them, I think.

Well, it's related in that eliminating pennies will give merchants a place to keep the new dollar coins in their cash drawers.
More likely the paper clips and rubber bands that they can bring forward from the $2 bill slot.
I only wish that the fiat money were distributed fairly, rather than arbitrarily shared between the incumbent felons.

Cops are skilled at perpetrating their protection and service off-camera, so most veterans won't get caught. I'd prefer a lapel cam.
Translation: A vast criminal conspiracy.
Do they even think this is legal? W.T.F.
