Nonsense. I lived in Reno many years ago. It's "high desert" - summertime extreme highs are in the low 90's, and it cools down to low 70's at night. The humidity is low year-round, as is precipitation. Sunshine is abundant. Linky. As to your slander of the residents, perhaps you should have spent more time hanging out with people NOT in the casino industry.
1952, Chalk River, Canada: A reactor shutoff rod failure, combined with several operator errors, led to a major power excursion of more than double the reactor's rated output at AECL's NRX reactor.
Many of the other "nuclear accidents" (OMG!! OMG!!!) you're trolling are equally exciting, and this one is rated at 5 on a scale of 1-7.
This is from the days when J. Edgar Hoover was running the FBI, just a few years after Joe McCarthy was doing his Red Menace shtick in the Senate. Take it all with a BIG grain of Cold War Paranoia salt.
Next time you see a bicycle (especially a POS) outside the local neighborhood liquor store or bar, just remind yourself that the person using it is doing so because they had their license revoked for DUI. Just sayin'.
Meanwhile your begged question is right on the money.
They keep breaking laws and having to pay out the ass in fines. Their model won't be profitable until they buy off enough lawmakers to get the regulations changed.
The next round of Uber stories we'll be reading will involve their being named as co-defendants in wrongful death lawsuits involving unsafe vehicles. In my state, cabs and limos have to go through a state safety lane twice a year. Cab/chauffeur drivers have to have special training and licenses. And cab/limo companies carry PLENTY of liability insurance, and are pretty picky about who drives for them. Uber can try to hand-wave all of that, but sooner or later, huge jury payouts are going to run them into bankruptcy.
To be fair, Jessica Alba as Sue Storm had EPIC FAIL written all over it from the first press release. And she certainly didn't disappoint - in the epic fail category. I'd rather pretend those two movies didn't exist at all, and pretend that this is the remake of the Roger Corman Fantastic Four origin story, which wasn't half bad in comparison.

I see you have a case of Stage 4 Whiney Pussy Syndrome. I think a couple of massive doses of LightenTheFuckUpFrancis might be called for.
What are the odds that Lou Gehrig would have died of Lou Gherig's disease? Can you imagine his conversation with the doctor?

I'm pretty sure any dog could have told you that.
EJECT!! EJECT!!
You'll never ever overcome that much inertia and penny-pinching. Don't spend the next five years being frustrated before you figure this out.
My friend and I invented mechanical computation, and all I got was this lousy language named after me.
I used to play in a garage band called Brain Eating Amoebas.

I know if I was a grunt on the ground, I'd damn well rather have an A-10 covering me than an F-35.
Now that's funny.
I knew you were joking, I couldn't believe some idiot modded it "troll". Of course sometimes when you loose arrows you lose arrows.
NO! "Death by JSON" is even funnier than "XML is like violence..."
As an archer, I have to admit reading that made me quiver with laughter; but then again, after I loose* an arrow, the bow does quiver for a bit.
*First correct usage of "loose" in a sentence in the history of Slashdot.
That's true. First, a bunch of lawyers got paid. Then it was shrugged off.

Yeah, that new HTML5 tag is great! And advertisers voluntarily compliance using it is holding steady at 100%.
In Japan, parents tell their children that chicken tastes just like beluga whales.

Well, let's think about IoT RealMedia or IoT ActiveX as alternatives. Then again, let's not.
Where's the Stan Lee cameo?
That's like halfway pregnant, isn't it?
Lawyers gonna weasel.
