People who work in positions that involve interactions with children, like school employees, are often punished by the employer for things that happen at home. Your local McDonald's won't fire you for working as a stripper on the weekends, but the school district will.
Well, Westeros looks remarkably like the eastern part of the island of Britain, and that it was once made up of a bunch of different kingdoms that were all united by one conqueror, and that there's a wall that defines the border between civilization and the wild tribes beyond. Yeah, aside from that, it could be anywhere.
Speak a rough approximation of RP. It will vastly improve your comprehensibility. Most Americans can't understand other British accents at full strength because they've never heard them.
Funny thing about race is that a discriminating employer doesn't have to ask you about it to know. So race not only doesn't have anything to do with illegal interview questions, it can't.
Offensive? Really? What do you mean by "protecting their civil rights"? Are you referring to this topic about illegal questions, or about real civil rights, like voting and free speech?
Regulations have costs and produce burdens. Some of those burdens are worth paying. Some aren't. And when the burden is borne by the employer, rather than the public at large, it is entirely possible that the added cost of doing business will wipe out the extra profit you were expecting that employee to provide. In such a case, you don't hire, even if the rights being protected are really important, because it's not profitable to do so. This is arithmetic, not philosophy.
That's true, but in no small part because there just aren't very many whites left. When he was fighting the segregationist government, a lot of Africans thought he was great. Then he got into power, established himself, and proved that he was just using them against the white government.
The taxpayers of Boston undoubtedly bear the highest burden, but with the way state and federal grants work, it is unlikely they are the only poor bastards who end up paying for this. My phrasing was KISS at work.
I don't see that anywhere. Revocation of qualified immunity would be an immense boon to public liberty and would drop the hammer on bad cops, but his payout appears to be coming from the city of Boston, not from the officers themselves.
Flood control dams are also built in areas that don't experience snow with the explicit purpose of preventing rain-triggered floods. Be careful when you generalize.
... which wasn't even a spiritual moment for a long, long time. I remember listening to music during takeoff and landing in the 80s and early 90s. You couldn't use a radio, of course, but tape and CD players were perfectly acceptable. And they were a great way to avoid the seatmate who's afraid of flying but doesn't want to admit it and consequently talks your fucking ear off.
You know, I'm not really a fan of most speed limits, but doing 10 mph over will get you a ticket in almost every jurisdiction in the country. If you're struggling to keep it down to that...
Depending on the software, map rotation may be the best way to go. I don't have a problem translating mentally between north = up and where I'm pointed = up, and I use the latter in my car because it puts the vehicle at the center of the map (as it more or less must) when you're in N=up mode, but at the bottom of the map (giving you a much wider field of view and more information about the roads in front of you) if you let the map rotate.
The biggest accident on there in the 2000s was a one million gallon spill. That's less than half of what Deepwater Horizon leaked every day. I didn't read every one back to the thirties, but I didn't see one larger than that. Is that a problem? Sure. But it's nothing like Deepwater Horizon.
Yeah, the 4G antenna and radio and the Bluetooth radio are pretty much going to massacre your battery life if you use them. Nobody is going to make that phone. Buy a flip phone and a data device. Or buy an Android phone, or an Android tablet with a data plan.
If the K.P. goes through, as planned, and has a B.P. style incident?
How on earth could that happen? It's a pipeline, not a well; you just shut the nearest valves and voila, it's done. Not only that, pipelines are buried just below the frost line, which even up there is maybe six feet down. It's not that hard to avoid the areas where the Ogallala runs very close to the surface. It's nothing like a well of oil under pressure that's over 4000 feet below sea level.
Sales and use taxes are the same thing; the use tax is what you are supposed to pay when your seller does not do the state the favor of collecting its sales tax (i.e., use tax is only due when sales tax has not been collected).
No. They have certain rights that normally are possessed by individuals, but not others. As a trivial example, you can't marry a corporation. The answer for "why shouldn't they pay taxes on income" is that the corporate income tax distorts a lot of financial decision making at companies. For example, companies usually prefer to finance through debt rather than equity due to tax treatment. When they pay out to investors, capital gains are taxed lower than dividends would be, encouraging companies to try to keep growing rather than settling into a profitable niche.
Whenever you wonder to yourself why American government does something really odd, think of our Constitution. It was written in the late 1780s as a compromise that had to get several small and several large states to agree to a single overarching government. The smaller states were jealous of their priorities and power, and so there are actually quite a lot of things that the federal government isn't allowed to do. State governments in the US are part of a federal system - at times, the division of powers sometimes produces results that are as odd as something out of the Holy Roman Empire.
In this case, the federal government has not passed a sales tax (and while IANAL it might even be unconstitutional for them to do so, given some odd wording in the Constitution, but the only sites that seem to talk about it are nutty so it's hard to tell). States cannot enforce taxes on businesses that have no presence in their boundaries.
I pay for Live Points and Live subscription cards. Then I enter those into the system. Alternatively, you could enter your credit card number and dispute the charges as soon as they show up. If you gave them a debit card number that draws out of your bank account, well, you asked for it.

Busboy? Please. You're talking about people who are wealthy enough to eat at restaurants. Trust me, they're even dumber than you think.

One Chihuahua, one Doberman. Proof against anything.

If that's what you meant - that the employee would be a net positive even with the regulation - then you misunderstood unassimilatible.

If the government regulations increase the cost of doing business so that the marginal employee is no longer a profitable hire, then yes.

Thank you.
could be personally sued for it.

Ars has been less and less worthwhile since the sale to Conde Nast. The forums are still pretty good, though.
