Netflix's DVD service isn't bad, but it takes a week or so to get something that I want to see.
No, it is bad. That's why I dropped it several years ago. At first I was able to get to see 2 movies a week, assuming I watched them the night they arrived. Then the response time dropped and the delivery was taking twice as long. The last straw was when over half the discs were arriving damaged and unplayable making it take 2 weeks to be able to watch one movie. Cheaper and easier to just go to Redbox at that point.
The do have to relocate, or at least raise, their homes. The issue is that flood zone maps only came about in the 80's and the pre-existing structures were grandfathered. However, when the cumulative repairs/improvements to those buildings eclipses half the value of the property, it now has to be brought within compliance with the flood zone restrictions. That is why flood zone properties are constantly being bought back and left vacant by state/county/city governments after every flood.
The bigger issue with new construction is failure to understand the implications it has to flooding when not directly building in the flood zone. Building new or higher levees, while perhaps protecting that area, only pushes the problem downstream as the water will be forced there faster instead of spreading out in the now cutoff floodplain.
Actually that cardboard doesn't even belong in the recycling bin. It is most likely contaminated with pizza grease. You may be able to rip off the top half and recycle, if it's clean.
Yeah, I've never understood this complaint. My premiums are a quarter of what they were. Had a coworker complaining about it saying the premiums are $1000 dollars higher. OK, what is the total reduction in your premium for the year? About $1000! Only now you get the HSA, which our company contributes $600 to annually.
People just seem to get fixated on the one number were cost increased and refuse to look at the big picture.
It was already covered when the locations were chosen that it was never a legitimate competition. Bezos already had homes in New York and Virginia. The competition was just a ploy to extract a better deal from those locations by making them against other cities that never had a chance.
But they also have a feature called "hot spot" that allows other devices to access the phone's internet connection via wifi. You should try it some time.
Rather than tracking mileage, why not just charge electric vehicles more for registration. In Illinois electric vehicles have a different license plate. Just charge a higher amount for renewing those plates than for ICE vehicles to make up for the lost gas tax.
You are the only one making any threats. I believe they are referring to contraception and abortion, possibly sterilization if you want to hit the 75% reduction mentioned by the OP.
Not really random. The neighborhood spoofing seems to be a good 90% of the calls I get. Thing is, I don't know anyone else with my area code and prefix, so they are easy to ignore. An app that blocks numbers from that pattern (i.e. (123)456-xxxx) would be great.
I had a friend in college that voted for Bush's second term. I was curious why as this was unusual for his demographic (black male from downtown Chicago). His only reasoning for the decision was he was against gay marriage.
And all guns in Chicago come from Indiana, which has very lax gun laws. Also, per capita, neither Chicago nor LA are even in the top 20 cities for murder rate. St. Louis, Baltimore, Detroit and New Orleans are the cities you are looking for. But by all means keep comparing total numbers against cities a quarter the size.
The long term gains tax is only on the increase in value from when they were received. He would still be taxed on their value at the time they were granted.
They likely do not track all pedestrians close enough to be a problem like a human driver, and just assume that anything not right in front of them can be ignored for the most part.
As a runner and cyclist, I can assure you that most human drivers don't bother tracking pedestrians.

Your argument for standard time over DST is a virtually extinct business? How drive-in theaters even exist still in the US?

That's nowhere near "ruining something for someone else." That's an asshole.
I would submit that trolls are a subset of assholes.

I can see how Flash Gordon would make you feel that way, but they are much better now.

It was a ghost!
The couldn't spell (not just the names, but "Florid" too) and you expect him to know this?

5. Gun suicides, in particular, tend to be "on impulse" rather than planned.
I think #5 explains that. If they didn't have the gun they would be more likely to back out or at the very least, be far less successful.

No, the actual fucking point here is wife and hooker are not interchangeable on a whim
This is true. The hooker doesn't take half your stuff when she leaves.
"I think the internet has reached max stupidity." Never a truer word spoken.
You vastly underestimate society.
I have never even gotten a speeding ticket.
Of course you haven't. You're driving 10+ under the speed limit. That's the problem.
If businesses are going to make us talk to machines, why can't I have my own machine talk to them for me? Seems only fair.
This happened in 2008, so that would actually have been under Bush Jr. But don't let that ruin your partisan rant.
How many of your kids got shot? None? Exactly. So stop whining SJW style about how you need to take away other's rights.
I would assume they are trying to keep it that way.
