Take it from someone that was there this year, your life changes when you hear it is an 80% chance of being cancer, the only way to know for sure is to remove it, and if it is cancer even if removed has a 50% chance to come back, and a 0% 5 year survival rate if not treated. Thankfully I was in the 20%,
Women sex offenders don't tend to exist, I say this after knowning of a local case where a woman gave three young teenage boys alcohol and had sex with them at the same time and was basically caught in the act. Jury returned a vote of not guilty since they were teen age boys.
The sad thing at least around here is so many people that are registered sex offenders are on the list by taking a plea bargin to avoid the chance of going to jail. Many is not most of these cases have no evidence, and are just he said / she said. Cases where the ex wife bribes the teen age daughter to tell the police the deadbeat dad molested her, and similar. Without going into too many details I know of one case where charges were filed 10 years after the "incident" where the girl charged the then 18 year old brother of her friend with molesting her during a sleep over, the brother had proof he was not in the house that night (working night shift at a grocery store), yet he still ended up as a registered sex offender, and was banned from living in the same house with his own children.
Sadly enough the car analogy does work much like that, about 25 years ago my step father had a car stolen, it turned up half way across the country in an impound yard in New York several months later. He was given the option of getting the car back, but to do so he would have to travel to New York to get it, he could not sell it to someone there or have someone pick it up from the impound because they would only release the car to the registered owner in person.
Actually the whole isolation quarantine thing was only done on the first couple of moon mission after that it was decided to be pointless, so there was no quarantine done on later missions.
Wrong, the best keyboard for typing and hitting people is the Northgate Omnikey as the typing is slightly better than the model M, but the metal base plate certainly helps in hitting.
For certain things it makes sense, maybe one day we will have true HD virtual presence where you can see a persons body language, and get a sense of their mood, but until then I for one like the idea of a face to face meeting before entering into a major business relationship, one where lots of money, or even the future of the company is at stake.
Yeah, the wild west days, I remember hanging around on IRC on #userfriendly where much of the crowd were of the IT types working in the.com boom which was very wild west itself. One night one of the regulars posted a message that she was on dial up and was being ping flooded by some guy with a cable modem, and asked someone ping flood the guy off the net so she could upload an important file before it was due in a few minutes. Well the moments afterward were one of those things where you look back and think, hey maybe too many people decided to unleash too much fire power at once. Sure there were those that were sitting on T1, T3, etc. lines at the time that reacted to the call within seconds, but there were also a few BIG GUNS aimed at this lowly cable modem user's IP within seconds. Think core routers from big name national ISP's, and.COM giants. When the smoke cleared a minute or two later everyone realized not only was the cable modem user in question off the net, but so was his cable provider.
Just wait for version 2.0 where the cameras are smaller than the size of a coin and everything is neatly sewn into a spandex motion capture suit. Think of potential over real terrain, rock climbing, tree climbing, etc.
This sounds obvious, but when you look at it like many things these day it is a matter of compute power, particularly having enough at a reasonable price to make it practical.
My problem with this technology is that I think the delay between when the brain says "PANIC STOP" and the time it takes to get the foot to the brake peddle gives many drivers the time needed decide against the panic stop and opt for a more controlled action instead. I was just in one of those situations today on a multi lane expressway. I was in one of the left lanes when a truck pulling a goosneck construction trailer two lanes right of me and less than a hundred feet ahead had a tire blow out and quickly started drifting my direction, once I saw the rate of this drift, and know he was not about to jack knife I was able to change the panic stop to a series of pulsing the brakes to warn other drivers behind me, and drop back far enough to give him time to move right.
The problem with leaving it parked is the cost of ownership to keep it sitting there (insurance, registration, etc.) exceeds any cost savings you may have by driving a better fuel economy vehicle the rest of the time.
Unlike you, there are a lot of people that need a truck to haul things on a regular basis, try pulling a 24 ft utility trailer with your 626. This means they need a truck, and also they need a truck with a reasonable amount of HP. I am one of those people, and while I do not need to do this on a daily basis, and I would love to have a second vehicle that gets better fuel economy for daily driving, the insurance, and other ownership costs of that do not make it practical. A few states are friendly towards second vehicle ownership, but most are not.
Reboot, remake, etc. is all fine and good for older material (lets say 20+ years old), my problem is the recent trend to reboot too soon, see the recent Hulk movies, and now the NEW Spiderman reset.
It is also one of the nicer suburbs on the north side of Houston, 10 or 15 years ago it was its own somewhat isolated city, now it is just the northern frontier of the greater Houston area, one continuous expanse of shopping malls, car dealerships and casual dining establishments along I-45 from Conroe to the Galveston 90 miles south.
This is again one of those part truths, OS2 started out as a partnership between IBM and MS, but MS dropped out of the project so it could work on its development of Windows leaving IBM holding the bag. IBM really should have known better at this point for partnering with MS on this project since MS already had its own Windows platform well into development. Yet another example of IBM shooting itself in the foot.
Not just biofouling, but also corrosion, any metal you place around sea water will corrode, this thing is big, lots of required metal parts, in a highly corrosive environment, your $$$ per watt over the life of the unit would likely be lower with almost any other form of alternative power generation. I am all for tidal power in theory, but this is not it.
I have pet birds (along with a dog), there is a growing movement to reduce/ban the breeding of parrots and other birds for the pet trade, due to the excessive number of birds that people get tired of and try to rehome, give away or sell... When I hear one of these people going on about banning pet birds, I tell them I have a domesticly bred Red Fronted Macaw, the.RFM is semi-endangered in the wild, they are the only Macaws not native to the rainforest, they are cliff dwellers and live only in one arid river valley in Bolivia. Their depopulation is due to a combination of limited habitat, agriculutre and poaching for the illegal export trade, as a result far more RFM's live in captivity now than do in the wild.. many of these people support reintroduction into the wild as a goal, I of course point out while a noble goal, it is unlikely to happen, particularly in a relatively poor country that (perhaps rightfully so) choose human standard of living over an endangered species of birds. Therefore as a species RFM's are dependant upon captive breeding, and the money to support captive breeding comes from the pet trade, so if you want these birds to continue to survive as a species, it is important to allow and perhaps even encourage breeding for the pet trade.
So I then ask them, which they prefer making this rare type of macaw extinct or having the pet trade?
This reminds me of a photograph a friend of mine showed me years ago from a dive trip to the Red Sea. While there on a dive at a random site (live aboard dive boat), they ran across a contrainer on the bottom in about 80 feet of water that had broken open, of all the possible treasures it might have contained it was full of toilets. The photo showed a diver sitting on an upright one in the pile of toilets.
My personal concern is what harm you may do to others while impaired, much the same as alcohol. The problem here is there is an easy field test for alcohol level, that is at least reasonably accurate even if the current levels are insanely low, there is not one for all the major drugs. Do you really want people that are high on this drug or that working with heavy equipment, driving big trucks, etc? Remember most current drug tests don't measure impairment, but instead measure past use.

Just look up forklift stunts on youtube and I think you may answer your own question

The problem was not the size of the American cars, but the lack of quality

And poor people will continue to buy the cheapest option, if cocaine is legalized they will reprocess it into cheaper crack.
