legislation banning private ownership of guns if they want to be able to deliver packages with drones, otherwise too many "gun enthusiasts" will use them for target practice.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama aren't coming for your guns- Jeff Bezos is.... and even the NRA/gun lobby (same thing) doesn't have the resources to stop him.
sandwiches? Because that all Americans need to fuel the miners who are returning to the mines in droves to aid our exalted leader's plan to Make America Great Again.
in 50 years? He won't be around then, and he's arranged it so that the next 10 generations of his descendants will be living the high life no matter what happens to the rest of us. Climate change just means there will be fewer places that are nice places to live, and those places will be more expensive. So what? They already live in expensive places so they can be around other rich folks and away from the riff-raff. That's not going to change.
when the price is crazy high, you see ads all over TV about "investing" in gold, and when the price goes down, the ads disappear. BTC is the same way- when it was high people were talking it up to get the dumb money into it, and now that it's down, no one's saying you should "invest" in it, except maybe the "investors" who bought in at the high and are still holding on, hoping for a turn-around.
"Investing" in BTC is like "investing" in casino chips or lottery tickets. Every once in a while someone wins, but the vast majority of the suckers lose their money. It is in the interest of the folks who stand to make money that we hear about the winners far more than we hear about the losers, even though there are many thousands or even millions of losers for every one winner.
they can get in and out of it. Even if there's some software that allows takeover from whatever takeover the thief used, they can always kick out a window and exit the car before it gets anywhere near a police station.
The software backdoor that allows police remote control is probably the backdoor that thieves will use to steal the cars. Imagine, they don't have to go anywhere near the car to steal it, just drive it to a remote location and onto a ship for overseas transport.
Not so great for the US. We demonstrated to the rest of the world how stupid and easily manipulated we are in the last presidential election. I'm sure they had a great laugh, but they're probably not laughing so much any more. But the Russians are still laughing...
Searching through hundreds of tabs or just typing your search into a new one?
I have a better idea. Why not reserve one tab (maybe the leftmost one) for searching open tabs? Then you won't have to scroll through them- just enter a key word or two on the tab search tab and the browser will switch to the tab you're looking for. Or even just use a hot-key that tells the browser that whatever you type after the hot-key is a search term for the open tabs.
Or better yet, don't keep dozens or hundreds of tabs open at once.
Spoken like a typically ignorant American who has never been outside the US. You got yours, so everything is right with the world...
We (?, Russia?) elected a government full of old white guys who think it's just fabulous to take children away from their parents for the horrible crime of trying to get away from violence in their own countries. These same old white guys think it's OK to undo decades of protections from industrial pollution. Oh, yes, and because our rich folks (more old white guys, mostly) aren't rich enough, they should get tax breaks, even as the roads, bridges, and airports that helped them become so rich are falling apart because there isn't enough tax revenue to pay for maintenance and repairs. These old white guys who run things have convinced a large portion of the poorly educated population (no tax revenues for schools) that "truth isn't truth" and facts don't matter. These same old white guys think that a health care system designed to bankrupt people who happen to get sick or injured is a great idea.
Unfortunately, those old white guys, through their tax cuts and gerrymandering of election districts, have managed to perpetuate their rule by guaranteeing that the general population gets dumber every year. They've put a moron/maniac in charge who thinks that decades of work to prevent world wide conflict was all wasted and our friends are now enemies and our enemies now friends.
So yes, it is embarrassing to be American. I want people in other countries who read this to know that we aren't all as insane/stupid as your news programs must make us look. One day the pendulum will swing back the other way despite the GOPs attempts to tie it off to their side. Hopefully we'll be able to undo the damage that Trump has already and will continue to inflict on the US and the rest of the world.
So maybe the whole "global warming" thing is a hoax to scare us into volunteering to get on giant rockets to go live on the colonies in Mars! Thank you! I'll NEVER volunteer to do THAT!
Right now it's on the tighter seating end of the swing. In a year or two the airlines will be advertising how they're taking seats out of planes to make customers more comfortable (just like they did a couple years ago). Nevermind that if they were really so concerned about my comfort and safety they wouldn't have put all those damned seats in the plane in the first place.
Hear this, airlines (and GOP): others may, but I don't forget.
There's a lot of BS in the US. We give tax breaks to big corporations (and rich people) and the public schools and other basic infrastructure suffers. The same corporations don't pay their workers enough to live, so the government gives them food stamps and free medical care. The execs at those corps say they can't find well-educated talent in the US so they want H1B slaves that they can underpay. The US is giving all the money to corporate execs and other rich folks while dumbing down the population to Make America Great Again by having 99.9% of us work dirty, dangerous jobs for next to nothing, while we eat, drink, and breathe every pollutant our factories and power plants scan spew.
Tipping is a two way street. If you tip at the end of the transaction, the server benefits. If you tip at the start of the transaction, such as tipping a bartender when you order your first drink, he/she will treat you well for the rest of the evening. Both sides benefit.
Of course, if you're a regular and get a reputation for tipping well, you'll be treated well every time you visit the place.
What became of the legislation that was proposed to allow the restaurant owners to decide how much of the tips go to the servers? IRIC that was proposed as a means to relieve restaurant and bar owners of the burden of having to pay a higher minimum wage...

I know several Indian people, and they're all very nice. I also like Indian food, and their classical music is nothing less than sublime.
are now ordering their food delivered. I find going to most restaurants about as pleasant as going to a shopping mall. Ugh!
Coffee shops are usually pretty quiet, if only because they are smaller and fewer people fit into them.

You used to have "freedom of", now you have something better: "freedom from".

"200 years ago people believed speeds in excess of 20 miles could not be survived."
Uh, didn't people ride horses back then?
its blades can chop a kidney out of someone on the street and then deliver it to the hospital where it can be installed.
I wonder if they could get human pineal extract that way...
Yes, it is. It really is.
We will have used up this rock long before we have figured out how to go live somewhere else.

Tipping in cash is always preferred by servers.
