You can legislate the new auto deliveries be ultra-low emission.
You can even take older cars from our rich and poor alike, with minimal legislative effort, that will never pass modern emission standards.
You will not or never legislate away inbred stupidity. With a grain of salt, know that Bubba 'prolly used the light bill money to buy the diesel to smoke your Prius.
I believe the point of the verbal exercise is to gain an admission from the officer that he/she has chosen to detain you. Detaining a citizen implies things like probable cause and such, which may not exist. The point is, the leo will know exactly what you are asking.
But. In exchange for the lack of personal inconvenience your compliance ensures, your rights die just a tiny bit.
I understand the wisdom of not getting cross with the leos, and admit there are immediate and everlasting benefits, but know there are consequences as well.
Every year, it seems more and more like I'm on the planet Krypton and the scientists are arguing with the politicians in a language the pols do not well understand.
Ordovician... Jurassic... at too long an interval, we are all doomed to repeat what we have no chance to remember.
If you steal for a living, and you haven't watched enough crime TV to know you don't want to be carrying a subscription cell phone with you on game night,
shit, you need to investigate another line of work.
One of my hands is a crafty devil, and he has come up with more than a few epic one liners and (+5 insightful) comments in his day. We debate often about the likelihood that even his very best idea was ever truly original, given the 107 {+/-} billion humans to have ever lived. Our consensus is, despite the probability someone has built that mousetrap before, there is no shame in hitting the nail squarely on the head a second, independent, time.
Since the revelations of Snowden have effectively changed nothing, does it even matter that members of Congress are publicly against the actions of the arm(s) of government that gathers the secrets?
I've yet to have anyone explain clearly why having the internet under the same regulatory regime as the telephone system would be a, net, positive thing. Title II explicitly permits a lot of bad behavior. To me, it fixes one problem and introduces a few dozen others.
Wink.
Seemingly every law, movement, action, or drug comes with these side effects. I believe the skill associated with doling them out so they cause more good than harm is quite rare indeed.
It is conspicuously absent in the hands of a politician.
In my experience, they ALL have a strong, nasty aftertaste. Even sucralose ("Splenda", e.g.) which people still flog as "almost actual sugar" has a bitterness that I can identify after one sip. Most of the time, I can even catch it if it's been used in cooking - I don't know if I'm just sensitive to it or what, but it's bad enough that I opted to learn to take my coffee without sweetener rather than add that junk.
I feel the same way about the city water: there's a chlorine taste/smell that even the RO system cannot remove.
I have gone the black coffee route myself, and now prefer it only that way.
I cannot, however, give up the coke in my whiskey... sacrilegious, right? I use some Diet, and actually prefer the Pepsi throwback non-HFCS blend.
There seem to be plausible arguments for health issues on both sides.. what are some decent alternatives to soda if one must have a mixer??
So Turkish nationalists are buying Google adwords. What's the problem with that? It's an exercise of free speech (for a position that I disagree with).
I have Armenian (and Greek) friends, so I know the basics. Armenians tell me about losing grandparents, aunts and uncles in 1915. This is of course the 100th anniversary. The personal tragedies are overwhelming, and if that wasn't enough, there is the further tragedy of destroying the Armenian and Greek communities and culture in Turkey, and the end of Ottoman tolerance.
I realize there's a debate over the word "genocide." The official Turkish position is, "Let the historians decide." I'm not sure what good that does them. The New York Times leans towards "genocide." http://www.nytimes.com/ref/tim... There is some symbolism here that I can't follow too well.
There is also a small, slowly growing movement among Turks to acknowledge the Armenian position. I don't know how long it will take. I'm not as optimistic as I used to be about world peace and reconciliation.
But Google isn't doing anything wrong.
Two takes from this:
Free speech, first and foremost, especially to the folks who disagree with me.
Eyes wide open, a very close second, get your important information from as many sources as possible.
Though this is likely a cost-benefit solution to saving property & lives, it seems unlikely the estimated costs will be accurate past the first change order.
The business of government contracting not only implies cost overruns... it virtually guarantees it.

I can remember shopping my State vehicle inspection around until I could find someone kind enough to accept my fifty dollar bill for a sticker.
Hell, many of them probably wish they could afford to repair or replace the jalopies...sigh, fucking poor people are killing us again.
No, but it makes it less likely to be legislated into that condition.

Purpose.
It's a radio... for talking to God!
What does God need with a radio?!
Or money, from weekly tithes, for that matter...
That is how it's done.... grow your army and such by making innocents also hate your enemies.

No expectation of privacy when using a cellphone?
This worries me. How long before no expectation of privacy when using the internet?
When using a car? (GPS in modern cars)
When do we have an expectation of privacy anymore?
Expectation.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
shit, you need to investigate another line of work.
Attention to detail is not your strong suit.
Drug gangs...
Two words put together by no one ever who sounded authentic.
Fairly or not, just like the "coach", he is rewarded too much for the victories and berated too much for the losses.

To be fair, there is usually a great deal of noise to sift through in any given period.

Yesterdays news with a better takeaway than you'd get from the current news folks.
Dive in. If nothing else, the other users will make you a better poster, and if you pay attention, a better thinker.
Now.
Imagine Dragon the difference if it wasn't a robotic mission.
