People think, it is cool to have one, because nobody else does, and it will be "good for me". The problem isn't the scooter being a bad idea, because it isn't. The problem is, when the number of scooters increases to the point of becoming a problem. And there is an entitled mentality to the people that buy them, expecting wide open roads/sidewalks and avoiding all the hassles of walking and other more mundane forms of getting from one place to another. When that doesn't happen, they get all pissy about everyone ruining their great plan of scooting around everywhere.
And I blame the complete lack of courtesy; the self indulgent asshattery that is permiating our society. We allow it, because short of making being an asshole illegal, there is very little we can do. In the days of old, the asshole would be punched in the face (or clotheslined in this case) and be dealt with forthrightly. But that just brings out the greatest form of assholery, the lawyers.
Does that count the time waiting in line at a restaurant? Does that include tips for waiters and delivery people? Does that include all the gas going to / from wherever you eat?
The key to enjoy cooking for me is multifaceted: 1) I'd rather experiment in the kitchen and discover something amazing (science). 2) I'd rather have the satisfaction of making my own meals (accomplishment) 3) I'd rather try some creative time (art) 4) I'd reward myself with great food.
Yes, I can sit and relax in a restaurant, or I cook and relax in my kitchen. If you think it is a chore, it will be. If you think it will be fun and enjoyable, it will be.
Yes, we have that form, and only banks tend to report transfers of 10K. Personally as a Libertarian, I have a huge problem with the state being involved at that level. But DRUGS!!!!!
Russia was behind Clinton. We know this because the Dossier was largely Russian propaganda funneled through Steele and Fusion GPS, funded by Clinton Campaign. Democrats don't give a shit about that "Russian Collusion", which is the ONLY verified actual link between Russia and either of the two candidates that DID have influence on the election.
And a year and a half of investigations, special counsels, and a shit tonne of MSM "Russia Trump Collusion", we find out that most of it was actually the US government spying on Americans, on behalf of the Obama administration, in an effort to keep Trump from winning.
I didn't vote for Trump, but I can see where the actual problem is, and Adam Schiff is blaming Americans who support the 2nd Amendment as being Duped by Russia.
The Democrat Party has been unhinged since the election, and I don't see any sign that is gonna change any time soon.
Well, the counter is, hard to prove is proof of collusion by implication. The whole thing is a contrivance to keep the whole "Russians Colluded with Trump", even when it is clear that Trump and Russia weren't linked in any substantial way (however Clinton was, but ignore that, because Trump is evil).
Adam Schiff is either evil or incompetent. After all, he implied that if you're Pro 2nd Amendment, you're under Russian influence.
Because Clinton herself was so detestable that she couldn't beat Junior Senator from Illinois, barely beat a washed up Flaming socialist, and a groping nearly equally detestible businessman from New York.
Anything less than 100% rational is what is terrifying
This is the problem I have with your statement. Intelligent beings can rationalize just about anything, including Genocide. In fact, you can't have Genocide without being rational.
People tend to think Genocide is irrational, but the reality is, it is rational, even if it isn't good. Good and Evil are constructs and judgmental requiring rationality. If your rationality reaches the construct that a certain race is "bad", then that is how Genocide happens.
As a primer, you should read the I, Robot series by Asimov, as it outlines how even a sentient constrained robot can do horrible things, even when programmed with the "Three Laws".
I'm not offended. I was merely pointing out that "get over it" is offensive to a large part of the Politically Correct Crowd, as they use it as example of whatever "oppression" they are experiencing at the moment.
It isn't censorship to remove superfulous information from documentation, joke or not.
What makes me funny, is that RMS is acting like a petty dictator over a "joke" that is no longer funny nor wanted any longer. Some jokes run their course, this was one. Calling it "censorship" is asinine.
As you indicated, bans only increase cost of supply, it doesn't actually stop anything. With enough demand, the supplies will still flow, and with enough middlemen become "legal". It is basically the same concept as laundering money, only with goods.
It only works if the demand is high enough to overcome the increase costs of bypassing the ban. In this case, a highly competitive market of Cell phones, it probably wouldn't.
the +Netflix_2016 bit isn't quite an alias. Technically it is ignored by the Email Server for the domain. IT acts like an alias however. A real alias is a full email address that is delivered to another primary email box. The former can be removed in transit, as you indicated, a true alias cannot.
The thing about a transaction is that it requires two authorizations to be valid. I was focusing on security, because that is largely focused on the authorization of the person who has secured something else. Someone can pick a lock, but that doesn't grant them authorization.;)
Identity is not the same thing as authorization. Your new user login isn't proof of identity, nor authorization. You'd be hard pressed to be able to truly prove you are me, let alone authorized to act on my behalf.
I dunno, perhaps instead of living in a dying town, they would have liked the opportunity to have a few more jobs available to the townsfolk.
But neither of us know, and are basically clueless. How about the people there get to decide, rather than have some bureaucratic nightmare, and a few internet trolls at/. dictate how they are supposed to be.

But please, run her again. Third Time is a Charm!

Australians put up with that crap?
Because being our only two choices is to tip toe around people offended by every little thing or not caring about anyone anywhere at anytime.
Binary worlds suck.
I'm not offended. I was merely pointing out that "get over it" is offensive to a large part of the Politically Correct Crowd, as they use it as example of whatever "oppression" they are experiencing at the moment.
Your opinion doesn't nullify mine. THAT is CENSORSHIP!!
Thanks for the recommendation to move to Crypto Currency for all transactions over $10K. - Australian Unintended Consequences Department.
Here's the problem, "get over it" is itself offensive, and some people use it as a further extension of whatever offense they have taken.
But it only applies to politically correct victim groups.
It isn't censorship to remove superfulous information from documentation, joke or not.
What makes me funny, is that RMS is acting like a petty dictator over a "joke" that is no longer funny nor wanted any longer. Some jokes run their course, this was one. Calling it "censorship" is asinine.
People employed by corporations.
People own corporations.
Corporations pay taxes.
In short, Corporations are just another group of people. ;)
No, two people STOPPED the approval process (it was approved) by continuous legal battle.
As always, the asshole ruins it for everyone else.

LOL, Gawd I hope so!
