  1. Re:For these reasons and more on Tech To Blame For Ever-Growing Car Repair Costs, AAA Says (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I've never seen a car without 4 doors being referred to as gigantic. "Cargo space is not one of the i3’s fortes, as the small hatchback offers 15.1 cubic feet with the seats up and 36.9 cubic feet with the seats down. Front passengers receive 40.5 inches of legroom and rear passengers get a tight 31.9 inches." - MotorTrend

  2. Fine with me on Click Farms Are Gaming Apple's Top Podcasts List (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The same boring podcasts at the top of the list need some rotating anyway. It's like CBS or something, people just listen to them because they are there.

  3. Re: STATES' RIGHTS on Internet Provider Groups Sue Vermont Over Net Neutrality Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Poster is talking about Sanctuary Cities and states most likely. 2nd A is pretty clear, the interpretations by both sides are wrong. But the poster is right that states can and do make their own laws which do violate the constitution, even DC did. The posters point about net neutrality is that it was considered a federal matter until states like California changed that. The poster could have mentioned environmental regs too if they wanted. The fed gov became vastly overpowered after WW2, we as a people need to tone it down. Let states decide most things. That's the way it's supposed to be.

    Corporations aren't Republicans. And odds are they "donated" heavily to both sides.

  5. It's like when they say the rate of cell phone adoption has decreased. It's because everyone has one.

    So far studies have not shown it to be transmittable to humans. But states with it usually have a way to get your animal tested.

  7. Re:Filing is no big deal, collecting is the proble on New App Lets You 'Sue Anyone By Pressing a Button' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    If you can show you have made attempts to serve the person and their location is unknown you could do it through a Posting or Publication depending on your State's laws.

  8. Re:I'm sure this won't be abused on New App Lets You 'Sue Anyone By Pressing a Button' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I mean, it is a conflict of interest. Kind of like how insurance companies try really hard to avoid paying out claims.

    Or you have a safe that burns the contents when forced, so if you don't open it you don't incriminate yourself.

    They would have to destroy a lot of your rights to force you to put in a code.

    I'm sure that piece of paper held the phone to his face and made him not move too.

    I know I can keep my eyes closes as long as I want.

    I don't remember my pass code. Sorry. Never use fingerprint or facial scan.

  14. I should clarify, OTT as a term. It's not even intuitive to Internet Streaming Video, why not ISV or something.or Online Video Streaming like the synopsis had to explain. OVS sounds better too.

  15. OTT makes almost zero sense. I hate whoever is trying to use it.

    You don't have like a before care school system for single or working parents?

  17. I think it is if there is a cost to it. The ID, the background check, etc.

  18. Sony's full of shit on PlayStation 4 Changes Crossplay Policy, Begins Fortnite Testing (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    Twitch was (might still be) blocked on PS4 from watching the streams of Xbox and others gameplay as well. Sony just wants to control it's ecosystem and get people to buy Sony. I'm surprised they gave into the pressure.

  20. Re:I prefer to not be dead on Most Drivers Don't Understand Limitations of Car Safety Systems, AAA Finds (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I only want to point out that stopping when you're six inches off someones bumper and following at the appropriate distance for speed are not comparable. Swerving around an obstacle can be the best course of action, but coming to a stop is easier and safer for most people to avoid over steering and other accidents. BUT you need to STOP trying to defend someone that rear ends another car. The rear ender should have either been driving with enough distance to stop, or should have swerved around the stopped(stopping) vehicle.

    I know it's AC but, I would imagine a donation drive would be the old person version of crowd funding. They'd understand the concept.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to use DDT?

  23. The firearms one is tricky. The Federal Gov requires Federally licensed dealers to do a background check. To do that they need ID. But private sales in most states do not require a background check and do not require ID. Just putting that out there.

  24. Golf, etc are activities rather than sports. I'm with you on your definition.

    Every kid in elementary school that goes to "before care" or any other early program lives this life just fine.
