The whole "rail line" talk is just so he could troll about karupt gubermint.
For one - it won't cost a billion dollars, OP made that shit up. The cost will be $750 million.
For two - there won't be a light rail line.
The Florida Department of Transportation announced a new plan Monday for the Howard Frankland Bridge. Starting in 2020, the state will build an 8-lane bridge that will include toll lanes and a bike and pedestrian path. The toll lanes could accomodate buses, driverless vehicles or even a light rail system.
There will be eight lanes, plus a bike lane and a pedestrian lane. Four of those lanes will be toll lanes - with AN OPTION of later converting two toll lanes to light rail. On top of it all, original bridge replacement plan was supposed to just replace a 4-lane bridge with a new 4-lane bridge... and then later add ANOTHER bridge. So instead of two existing bridges, there'd be three bridges, at a combined price of $1.2 billion.
Apparently, some right-wing racist idiot (pleonasmic, I know) got the idea to censor reality with mod-points... Failing miserably, naturally. For my ally is the Copy/Paste. And a powerful ally it is.
The Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel, several conservative Republican congressmen, and Donald Trump Jr.'s spokesman no longer appear in the auto-populated drop-down search box on Twitter, VICE News has learned. It's a shift that diminishes their reach on the platform -- and it's the same one being deployed against prominent racists to limit their visibility.
Asked why only conservative Republicans appear to be affected and not liberal Democrats, the spokesperson wrote: "I'd emphasize that our technology is based on account *behavior* not the content of Tweets."
Act like a racist... get treated like one. It's not Twitter's fault for Republicans getting tripped up by anti-racist algorithms. But it is kinda funny. As in "We can all see your unwiped racist ass, Your Highness!" kinda funny.
The Mozilla team is already set in its decision and has even drafted a blog post for the official announcement. In this unpublished document, engineers share more of the reasons that led to the decision to remove Firefox's built-in feed support and Live Bookmarks utility.
â-- Live Bookmarks doesn't really have a concept of a "read" state. It uses a history visit state as a proxy, which doesn't work for redirects. â-- Live Bookmarks doesn't work well with Firefox Sync â-- Live Bookmarks is not available for Android or iOS and has no mobile integration â-- Doesn't work well with podcast types of feeds â-- Only 0.1% of the Firefox userbase uses Live Bookmarks â-- Outdated and hard to maintain code (last update was 7 years ago) â-- Uses its own custom code for various tasks instead of reusing Firefox's current libraries
"These features had an outsized maintenance and security impact relative to their usage," the draft announcement said. "Making these features as well-tested, modern and secure as the rest of Firefox would have cost significant time and effort, and the usage of these features doesn't justify such an investment.

That's like saying tomatoes driven in a car with leather seats are not vegetarian.
The amount of enzymes from rennet in actual cheese is measured in micrograms per kilogram. I.e. Unless one is eating kilograms of one particular cheese per meal, we're talking about parts per billion of "animal matter" per portion of cheese. At that range, eating any food prepared or handled by humans makes one a cannibal.
Which is not exactly a bright idea, as they are clearly grafting it onto existing Justice League universe. One of the two will have to be "adjusted". A LOT. And my sunk cost fallacy sense tells me it will be Shazam.
Funny how with Aquaman they do get that if the character is too stupid for modern age you shouldn't try to do the origin story but simply establish the character first. THEN do a quick fill-in of the details and move on.
EVERYONE is on Facebook. Your dead relatives, five generations back, probably have a shadow profile that Facebook is using to finely tune all those ads from Russia they will show the people of your cultural background and heritage.
It's like the Mafia. It keeps track of everyone you're related to back in the old country. So they could make you offers you can't refuse.
I know. That's why the rest of the post. I was just trying to be less confrontational for a change. I don't know what got to me. Maybe it's the weather.
Say what? I've never experienced that and would be shocked that any modern production car has that issue. Supercars maybe, but not mass-produced daily drivers like the Model 3 wants to be.
He may be overexaggerating with "withing the same model year" but just take a look at the ninth generation Chevy Impala. You can't go much more mass produced than that. And they were churning out updates and changes every year. Also, note the variety in engine setups. And the dates of their use. That's probably where the "within the same model year" thing comes from.
You have to have an excuse why you're still selling a decade old design. And you can't rely on cosmetic touch-ups alone. And all cars usually come in several variants. After all, why wouldn't they sell you a version with a more powerful engine if you can afford it, even though the base model has a weaker setup?
The reason diversity matters is it provides an attack vector for some.
What are your views on the **highly** non-diverse hiring practices of the various basket ball leagues?
You completely missed the bit in the parent post about "actually hiring the best people"? Tinfoil will cause such issues with text comprehension once it starts seeping in the bloodstream. Plus on top of even the regular paranoia, you start seeing "attack vectors" everywhere. That's why you should always use velostat hats, not tinfoil ones. Tinfoil is part of a secret SJW plan to make you sterile and easily identifiable due to light reflection from your head.
As for your dreams of not being short, fat and too old and incapable to earn a living by bouncing a ball... well... that's all your mom's fault.
I like telling misogynist jokes and I also insisted on our gay employees' right to put pride flags on their desk.
Good for you.
There was this guy though, who argued that anal rape is OK cause some other people are free to take it up the ass if they are so inclined, as far as he was concerned. Which is funny cause he WAS an asshole but he thought he was an saint of open-mindedness and tolerance.
They also OEM for half the high-end video camera systems out there, so the "Made in USA" system you'll end up buying in place of your "Chinese crap" at five times the price could well be a Dahua under the hood.
No wonder they do that, with a name that I keep reading as Dachau.
Or, more likely something far worse than Dahua.
What? Like making a holographic projector and branding it Holocast?
And then there's the fact that it takes like half a thought to come up with the idea to put a charger section next to the air station and a "Charge your EV here" sign next to it. Over time you remodel the gas station, eliminate the pumps, expand it into a fast food/coffee/cake shop...
Only issue might be all that potential contamination of the area with various petrochemicals. People start getting weird after a while when they realize how toxic that thing they were putting in their tank really is. Then again asbestos used to be just the thing for your kitchen and nearly everything used to be better for you if radioactive.
Me manually blocking any and all ads on Slashdot from now on. As a way of saying thanks to EditorDavid and the rest of the crew. Thanks for all the FUD and BS guys!
But it is rather noticeable, no? All the yelling on both sides? "Listen to me!" "No, listen to MEEEE! HE speaks lies!" And so forth.
Ahh...The good old celebration of ignorance as wisdom. Boy... if you can still convince yourself of that bullshit in this day and age you should turn in your card. The "I am a living person with a working brain, please don't unplug me" one.
I was explaining this to my wife.... Pornographic VR must be nice.
You might want to start talking to your wife about augmented reality porn now, and the advantages of looking like someone else for your partner while having sex. I'm not saying that all women want their men looking like like young Brad Pitt... but there would be certain advantages to virtual beer googles. Just don't buy the first product whose demo shows a Brad Pitt jumping out of a basketball court.

Basically, everything OP said is bullshit.
That is the most close the barn door the horse has bolted of comments since horses started bolting from open barn doors.
No point of taxing taxis before there are taxis to tax.
Slap a tax on it and watch the invisible hand solve the problem. Magically.
While filling the city's coffers.
Two birds - one stone.

That's because you're ignorant. Or forgetful.

You can thank your local chapter of the US Nazi party for that.
This one goes up to 11.

What? It SHOULD grate you? You SHOULD embrace the fallacy instead ignoring of it - as YOU DO?
but I try not to get too hung up on the fact
I fear we have a misunderstanding here. Of motives if not of words.
But it is rather noticeable, no? All the yelling on both sides? "Listen to me!" "No, listen to MEEEE! HE speaks lies!" And so forth.
Ahh...The good old celebration of ignorance as wisdom.
Boy... if you can still convince yourself of that bullshit in this day and age you should turn in your card.
The "I am a living person with a working brain, please don't unplug me" one.
SQIBAMTA (pronounced squib-amta) should do just fine as well.
Personally, that grates with me a little too- but I try not to get too hung up on the fact that the modern meaning isn't what I originally learnt.
It shouldn't.
