I have a very short (3 letter) AOL email address from days long gone by. I still check it every other week or so. I've been on a boy scout troop mailing list a few states away, a kindly grandmothers All Family contact list, and a few mislabeled business communications, most notably, someone buying a car in England.
I emailed one guy back who was writing to his military son. He got all kinds of pissed off, and accused me of 'intercepting his emails'. Sorry dude...YOU screwed up. I always try to email them back to correct the problem, and usually they do.
abet thieves by being their knowing customers. And at $60, you know that as a recent laptop it's stolen.
Oh please. I bought my two current laptops for $50 each. A dualcore Sony VAIO, and a Compaq something or other. The Sony merely needed a wipe and reinstall (all virused up), and the Compaq just needed the dust blown out to allow the fan to run.
Or use fun words - cock is a male rooster, pussy is a cat, bitch is a female dog, ass is a donkey. Make sure to work them into your essays thoroughly AND appropriately.
Or, according to Saint George of Carlin: "We're going to snatch that pussy and put him in a box!"
You make the same mistake TFA does - you assume that food intake has no cost. For this type of analysis, you have to take into account the energy needed to produce the food consumed. TFA assumes food intake is constant between the car/bus rider, walker, and bicyclist, which is rather silly if you're going to be using your bike to replace your car on a 5-10 mile daily commute. All that energy for pedaling has to come from somewhere.
The 'extra' calories you use by walking or cycling for transportation is/should be equaled by the 'extra' calories you use in daily or weekly exercise. And if you don't get that exercise, then your carbon footprint will be lowered via a shorter lifespan.
It's a damned shame we don't have an autobahn-like road system.
We do. There are really only three differences: The roadbed is built to last a little longer, the road surface is generally built and repaired smoother, and driver skill is generally better. And contrary to popular belief, there are speed limits on much of the German autobahn.
Now when it comes to flying, if you could travel across the country at 13,000 mph, you could be on the opposite coast in 10 minutes (or from New York to London in 16 and a half minutes)
Except for pesky things like g-force and sonic booms.
1. Buy beer. 2. Start mower. 3. Open beer. 4. Start "mowing and drinking" 5. Be amazed as time flies and the grass gets cut
I never had much luck with that. The engine vibration would make the beer go flat very quickly. Drinking beer fast enough to avoid the flat beer would lead to having to do a lot of it again tomorrow because I missed some. Missed lawn, not beer.
Of course that's the obvious solution. Just mandate a certain "resolution" to the timing of power-hungry appliances, somewhere around fifteen minutes or so to begin with. If you set it to come on at 3:45, it will actually come on sometime between 3:37 and 3:53.
And if the "On" is tied to the nightly price drop at 3;45 AM, people will accuse them of playing with the start times to eke out a few extra minutes at the higher rate level. And the accusation may be well founded, because some bean counter will do that.
I seem to remember some mass market minivan that had a fibreglass body... It's not an insurmountable problem.
The Chevy Lumina APV, from 1990 on. I had a 1990 (the second one in Europe). Actually, a nice minivan for the 90's. Very configurable, gobs of interior space. I got 170k miles out of it. What killed it initially was the radical (for a minivan) styling. Looked like a doorstop. Huge windshield.
I have often wondered if I could fill my carry on with some really dense material, enough so that I can lift it but would exceed their weight limit for carry on and still have all the stuff I need for my trip as they never seem to check that.
And you want to put this in the flimsy plastic bin over my head? No thank you.
Why is it so important to reduce the amount of time to seconds to identify a suspect? At this point, when you're taking a picture of a suspect's eye, the person is either freely cooperating or has been beaten down and is cuffed and forced to cooperate.
'Reducing the time to identify' is merely a byproduct. The next step will be to incorporate this into the routine DWI roadblocks.
Years ago, a roadblock on the street to stop everyone would have been laughed at. Years from now, 'Look into the camera' will be commonplace. They might even say 'Please'.
As many problems as there are in government databases, they generally don't use the contents of the databases for marketing, and they're supposed to attempt to keep access to the data restricted to only those with legitimate reason. That could include law enforcement or legal officials, or the person who is the subject of the file, with the proper request.
and that he had 3 weeks to resolve the issue by providing supporting data or his license would be suspended
It's actually about 5 business days.
Letter dated Mar 22, with a suspension date of Apr 1 Arrives at his PO box no earlier than Mar 24
Take out the weekend, and that leaves Mar 25 & 28-31
5 businsess days.
Yes, the other guy did get it done in the window. But that still seems a pretty short timespan for notification of a license revocation.

There are plenty of very powerful, very small permanent magnets already in existence. That's the easy bit.
And I'm going to put this exposed, surface mount, powerful magnet in my pocket with all the other flotsam? I don't think so.
There are a few aircraft carrier crews that don't think it's too crazy.
No the US had the deal to tell the Pakistan government before shooting someone.
And the deal going the other way was to A) not harbor a wanted criminal, and B) assist in finding said criminal. They failed on both counts.

So far, the TSA has stopped zero terrorists.
And you know this how?
Not saying they have, but we here on the outside cannot say that definitively.
Is there really any significant advantage to not screening crew?
Sure, for the crew. If you, the crew, have to go through the same tired, intrusive screening 3, 4, 5 times a day...you'd get pretty damn tired of it.

A friend has a self-propelled mower tethered by a rope to a pipe located in the middle of his yard.
Seriously fuel-inefficient. The outer rings will have significant overlap, cutting the same grass 2 or 3 times.

or a roomba lawn mower.. (someone makes them, but not sure if its the makers of the roomba)
Robomow or Husqvarna. There may be others.

You can continue to think that.
Florida made $62 million by selling Florida drivers' license information
Drivers histories $40
Traditionally, it goes soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box.

attach it to your dog
Defendant...are you in the habit of attaching your phone to your dog and letting it run around the neighborhood? Why?
Maybe even get someone to use it.
Thereby involving someone else in the chain of events. Someone who could be a possible failure when questioned.
