Because there are no consequences for ignoring such an order, and our government officials are never held accountable for criminal acts while in office, they will simply just ignore this order like they have ignored the last several.
All a nuclear device would do in space is heat it up, pretty rapidly, maybe enough to thermal-stress-fracture it into several pieces, but nevertheless a nuclear weapon in space is not going to blow an asteroid (or anything else) to bits.
Like most ultra-left-wing radical groups, they love the idea of Saving All The Animals(TM), as long as it's someone else that has to do the work.
We used to have some liberal asshat who worked in our office, and she would constantly go around showing pictures of animals at the local shelter who needed foster homes. One day I asked her how many dogs she was fostering at home and she said, in a perfect sorority girl tone of voice "oh, I can't foster. I don't have time to take care of them."
Liberals LOVE the *idea* of people making sacrifices for the benefit of others, as long as it is the OTHERS who are making the sacrifices.
PETA is a fundraising organization, not an animal welfare organization. They don't give two shits about animals. They only care about raising money to help foist their agenda on others.
Look, there's no reason to get all amped up over this merger. Qi is clearly leading the charge in the market, so in order to offer any resistance, Duracell had to do this. The field is very dynamic and variant right now, so let's just hope that once it settles down to one dominant technology, it doesn't go all stagnant and stop working altogether.
You still cannot pay anyone you want for transmission or transition, as there is only one set of plant available to you for use. The generation part may be somewhat competitive and unregulated, but this is also typically the smallest part of the bill.
I pay 4.6c/kWh for generation, 6.0c for transmission, and 5c for transition.
You cannot typically set up rain collectors unless you purchase the runoff rights to your property. Otherwise you are stealing water. (depends on your state, but I am not aware of any Fee-Simple states that include runoff rights by default.
Many places with Gas also prohibit LP tanks for safety reasons. I've lived in several such cities where the rollout of NG was accompanied by a legal prohibition on in-home oil and LP storage.
Point is, your choices in terms of "utilities" are generally limited by statute in one way or another, in exchange for government protection against price gouging.
Your power company has a legal monopoly over you. So does your water company, and your sewer company. You cannot vote with your wallet. That's why they are regulated.
With cell phones and Internet, you CAN vote with your wallet, because there is free competition.
You agreed to the ETF when you signed your contract. It was not foisted upon you against your will. Neither was your choice of carrier made mandatory to you.
What does this little rant have to do with the fact that Australia's violent crime rate has skyrocketed since your government made it illegal to defend yourselves against those who would want to harm you?
"That the simulant bacteria caused these infections and death has never been conclusively established. Nevin's son and grandson lost a lawsuit that they brought against the government between 1981 and 1983."
I'm sure a lot of them remember being abducted and probed by aliens, too.
And the punishment for that little message was that government turned the media into another arm of tyranny, and now media is the mouthpiece of the statist movement.
I find it a little morbid that this would be considered a "glory" trip, when there really is no glory in wiping out millions of innocent civilians with nuclear weapons.

I am NOT stopping for 30 minutes every "half tank" on a 3000 mile road trip from LA to NY.
Fuck no.
When an EV can go 500 miles on a charge and refill in 5 minutes, then we'll talk.

I believe that, in this context, "to fix" means to set, make rigid or permanent, or to make fixed.
Fuck, don't forget smart meters, cell phones, triclosan, non-recycled toilet paper, fast food, Monsanto, and sodas larger than 16 ounces.

Are you fucking kidding me samzenpus?
Samsung is the device maker.
Yep. Running servers is against Verizon's residential ToS. Regardless of how much BW the guy is using, he's breaking the rules.
You know they charge you if you don't do paperless billing, right? It's something like $3 or $4/month.

Cell phones are not a "utility."

That's the difference.
It all started when gas prices shot up and the "fuel surcharge" hit UPS and Fedex customers in the wallet. Now this.
There is also no glory in PRETENDING to wipe out millions of innocent civilians with nuclear weapons.

The way it's been this year, you'd think GOES-13 failed a long time ago.
In soviet Russia, translator errors YOU!
Or something...

It's chemtrails. It's your government putting mind control chemicals into the atmosphere, and rainbows in your sprinklers.
Hah...
$something_obvious "in a test tube!"
I think you've just found the next fad in the patent market....
Doing "X" "in a test tube" instead of "on a computer."
