just got rid of my oil burner... 20 year old and was running like a champ. It was massively over sized for my house, getting up there in age. There was no natural gas running to the house 4 days ago... now there's a brand new meter out there.
Why did I replace it? Well, it was 20 years old, the central air doesn't work, plus with the Cheeto in office, he'll be pissing off some oil country and prices will go thru the roof.
What a jackass... now the FCC is going to burden us honest folk with extra paperwork.
I liked being able to submit my AU to the ULS and it being approved the next day automatically.
Yeah, but where are they going to get the data that if your car doesn't have insurance? The DMV..... and if you don't provide it to the DMV.... how is law enforcement going to know?
Okay, unless I'm missing something here.... what's the point? I don't have to show proof of insurance in my home state to the DMV. The only time I have to show proof is when requested by law enforcement. So, my question is, what are they going to do about states like this? Is everyone going to be marked uninsured and harassed?
Yes, I tried it. Networking switching did not work as well as it should have, plus I use T-mo's music freedom/binge on quite a bit during the day so I'd be paying out the nose for data charges if I were to go back to Fi. No Wifi where I'm at either, so that negates that idea.
NWS also seems to treat a tornado ANYWHERE in the same county as a county-wide emergency, even though they can supposedly send SMS warnings with cell-tower granularity.
I would rather have them blanket the county with the warning vs trying to pinpoint it. Why? Couple points.
1) Tornadoes are unpredictable at times plus the local NWS office is busier than snot during severe weather. 2) When theres one there is a possibility for more. 3) They don't want to have someone transitioning from a non-alerted tower and miss the alert because they registered three seconds too late.
I wish more carriers integrated directly with GV. I know Sprint does/used to.
That way you HAD to go thru GV and there wasn't a way around it. The best you can do is get a number that nobody knows and forward it and never make an outbound call using the native dialer and give out the GV number for everything.
Now only if I could get a cell phone with an inbound SIP address at the carriers main switch. That way I can get the reliability of a normal voice call once its passed to the cell carrier and the extreme difficulty for the general public to call the phone directly. I doubt many spammers are going to directly hit DklJvbLKJDFb3hjlskdfjj2@sip.mycellphonecompany.com.
Yes, it introduces a failure point of my SIP server but damnit, it will save my sanity as I'll be able to whitelist/blacklist as needed
Communications on a dedicated wire to a plant within 10 miles solely for that purpose are great? Communication on a protected signal area of 9 or so miles but without the dedicated path or signal quality are less reliable?
Oh? You say that voice communications over a shared network path with multiple devices, users, and and content streams, aggregating to a server that may be thousands of miles away isn't as good? COLOR ME SHOCKED!!
I bet you three fiddy that Silicon Valley wants to tackle these problems, but its the INVESTORS that control the pocketbooks of Silicon Valley that don't want to take the risk on.
The long game, pfffft, what's that? Humanity? Pffft!
Haven't you seen the projected t-mobile coverage at the end of 2017 map?

It looks to me that USCC and T-mobile are going to be LTE roaming partners soon. The USCC Wisconsin half-state line is quite distinct.
When you fail to obey a police officer and they have to use force, you can't cry assault anymore unless its over the top. Considering the cramped space in an aircraft, I'm not surprised by in the injuries at all, depending on how much child the pax was channeling.
Well... it depends. They crunch the numbers on how many people cancel or rebook and then allow overbooking from there.
I've seen flights overbooked a month out at 33% because there is a high no-show rate on the flight. This is for a 747.
However, closer to the date, they either decrease overbooking authorization or disallow it completely, letting the cancels/rebooks fall off.
Add the fact that communication got really fast and really cheap. Now you could talk and deal with China in pretty much real time versus what used to be a week for FedEx to get that packet of schematics over there.
Well, Zuck owned the company. If Zuck wanted to go poof in 2005, he could have. He made that choice. This discussion is about the hundreds of thousands of workers that are managed by companies that are only interested in getting as much work out of you and then tossing you aside.
If I owned a sizeable stake in the company I work for, you could make a solid bet that I would be working a little bit harder to make that company move forward. Alas, I am just a dumb employee that should be grateful to be employed and could be replaced at any second.

Wisconsin. Just have to have the card for the cop if/when you are pulled over.

for what it's worth, BMO Harris does also. They are also removing them as they have signs in all the branches.

so easy to use, no wonder why it's #1. That's what Facebook is. AOL 18.0

So let me get this straight.....

let's extend the law so that if someone is breaking into their house, we can break into theirs! gather our own evidence! EYE FOR AN EYE!
my original kindle works just fine, thank you very much. (I just defended Amazon... ugh)

because they have covered it time and time again during slow news cycles.

"Okay, we'll just sit here until someone volunteers..." That will get someone to volunteer, or misconx and get rebooked anyway, solving the problem.
Don't you have VHF pagers in your neck of the woods?

Well... Let's See about that... Oh wait, I'm having trouble finding support for him. Oh wait, I found this Wikipedia page So, the police and firefighters unions. That's it.
