or you tell them and they totally ignore it, either because they cant be bothered to change the way they do things or because they didnt read it in their daily barrage of emails.
those telephone poles are on somebodys land. and if its under a public road, that means its essentially govt property and they gave them the right to run it there. note that i dont agree with that - most cable/fiber/buried copper ive seen has run at or near the edge of a private property line, covered by a public utility easement that most property owners are forced to comply with.
claiming your political opponent is a child molester is a great way to get a libel or slander suit, depending on how you do it. demanding to know why your opponent wont deny being a child molester, on the other hand...
in some states getting an absentee ballot requires demonstrating actual inability to get to the polling place. examples include disability, lack of transportation, etc. so that its not just a preference, rather only for those who have no other option.
i would note that im also a strong supporter of not having a single polling day and allowing for anyone who wants an absentee ballot to have one. this will eliminate the 'oh but its so difficult for people to make it to the polling place when they work 3 jobs' whining.
In other words, "fair representation" means non-whites lording it over white people.
So, you believe it's right that 51% of the people can have 100% of the representation.
If the other 49% cant be bothered to go in and vote, yes absolutely.
There are several commonly cited causes for the lack of minority participation in the voting process and having representation in elected office, most of which lead to a lack of representation in the actually vote itself.
yea, 'people get in my way when i perform exceptionally dangerous tasks for my job that create additional unnecessary threats to my life and theirs' does sound awful whiny.
would you also believe it whiny if, for example, people started invading steel mills just for the thrill, and the steelworkers complained? or lets be a little more congruent, thrill seekers that go out during a hurricane to watch the coast guard rescue people from distressed vessels, to which the media aired stories featuring coastguardsmen warning people not to do that?
if you dont drive a car, you dont pay NEARLY as much as anyone else on the road. gas taxes are the primary source for road funding. you dont buy gas, ergo you dont pay to maintain the roads.
and recovering from a data breach takes, what, infinity time? an employee being cavalier with their access can cause unmeasurable damage to the company they work for.
to be fair, i mostly agree with you. i do think you took it a little too far though.
You control when you engage the gears by when you shift the lever or push the button. This is not a difficult concept.
no, you tell the automatic when to shift. not how quickly or into what gear. just up or down, and as quickly as it can.
So you drive like a maniac on public roads, and try to blame the hardware for your poor judgement ?
and heres the assumption (which you alluded to earlier). you think that just because i like to be in control (and dislike giving that to the AT) i drive like a maniac. i used a bit of hyperbole and its been taken as the literal truth, my mistake.
i like being able to know when the car is going to behave in a certain way, so that i can plan my actions accordingly. with an AT you have a reasonable guess, but its a guess and sometimes they do screwy things like not shifting or shifting too quickly for the conditions. this toyota thing is case in point.
you simply dont have the same level of control over the car, and i find it uncomfortable. even given the choice of an AT with manual-like shifting.
can you imagine the bliss of dialing a phone number with a model M? or texting while on the go? i think id actually get a texting plan if that were available.

this particular discussion is about exactly that.

i dunno, baconless bacon double cheeseburger doesnt look shorter to me.
Thats what TFA is about. Minority representation in local elections.
in some states getting an absentee ballot requires demonstrating actual inability to get to the polling place. examples include disability, lack of transportation, etc. so that its not just a preference, rather only for those who have no other option.
so its fair to punish the candidate that actually gets 51% of eligible voters to vote for them, simply because they are the wrong color?
i would note that im also a strong supporter of not having a single polling day and allowing for anyone who wants an absentee ballot to have one. this will eliminate the 'oh but its so difficult for people to make it to the polling place when they work 3 jobs' whining.

i see no problem with that.
and in the process, its likely that the actual scientists will be harmed as well. if it werent for that, id say have at it.

a short, relatively unintelligible message that gets interpreted through wishful thinking to something of meaning.
my god, twitter reinvented ouija.
legislating against jackassery is impossible.
and yet companies still hire overpriced 'independant' consultants to analyze the breach and make a determination as to the value of the loss.

leave it to /. to use a coding analogy to explain cars...
All in all I'd be hard pressed to come up with a situation in which modern autos are "better".
Teenage girls.
That being said, i agree with you 100%. Ive been driving manual since getting my license, and find AT to be very annoying.
