The Playboy Playmates have changed over the years. The first year was professional models. From then on through the early 1970s, the aim was "the girl next door, only better". Gradually aspiring models saw Playboy as a stepping stone, and the look changed to surgically altered, aloof, heavily made up mannikins.I don't know what they've been doing recently because I haven't look since about 1998.
A completely sober driver would probably have stopped. If the sober driver had tried instead to avoid the wrong-way car, the sober driver might not have hit the tree, or not hit it at full throttle. Drunkenness plays havoc with reaction times and judgement. A drunk is also more likely to miss the brake pedal and hit the accelerator, or not recognize that mistake.
Self driving cars are not nuclear fusion. It's only recently that they've been claimed to be the "coming thing", and progress has been remarkably rapid.
And if he was really concerned with protecting data on his phone, instead of surrendering it he should have dropped it on the floor and crushed it. Unlocking it then becomes moot.
There is legal precedent and explicit, clearly written law that says the President has just such power for the reasons the President stated. The judge who made the original decision is a vicious leftist hack and the 9th circuit court is no better.
This is a decision by people trying to get petty political gains and not caring how many people are killed as a result. They are worse than murderers, because they are not even risking their own lives.
Do you want a beautiful Valentine's day card produced by Hallmark, or a grubby crayon-and-construction-paper Valentine's day card handed to you by your 5-year-old daughter? Which one will you cherish 20 years from now?
most jobs will go away and not be replaced with others
False and without basis.
Nobody is really advocating for an UBI if enough jobs stay available and need to be done.
False. Leftists and even some deluded conservatives have been advocating that for longer than I've been alive. One example that just popped into my mind is the science fiction author Mack Reynolds.
There will never be no work available for someone who wants to work, provided that the government doesn't make working illegal. People want goods and services, and that is a job opportunity for a potential worker. When machines make every routine thing, human-produced goods will be premium-priced objects.
Please get it out of your head that there will ever be a society where no jobs are available. This is a scam, perpetuated by fools and originated by people who want to control you by making you feel useless and helpless.
Rights are something you have as an innocent human being. They do not vary with location. Governments can recognize, codify, support, and defend rights, but governments cannot create or destroy rights.
An education is not a right. It is a responsibility, the responsibility of a parent to educate or buy an education for the child.
You observe that these retired people become depressed from having "nothing to do", but somehow you don't notice that the one thing that could solve their problem, doing something, is the very thing that they choose not to do.
There are some forms of work that UBI people are likely to do. Rioting for a larger UBI is one, Making babies is another. Trying to find drugs to give meaning to an empty life is a third.
In the unlikely event that this experiment succeeds by some reasonable measure, there are many reasons why it would fail on a larger scale. One of those reasons is identity fraud. People getting money on multiple EBT accounts is commonplace today, and will only become a greater problem as bureaucrats expand their realms by deliberately not checking for fraud among "new" applicants.

Wrong. "Chick" derives from US informal "chicken", meaning a young, inexperienced person, as in "she's no spring chicken."

When she registers Democrat.
Compiling mplayer is always difficult.
Not only did vim beat emacs, Kate also beat emacs. Nano and emacs tied for third.
Oh, just stop it. Your desire to neither work nor think does not mean that people will stop working and thinking.

If you are referring to the anal scent gland of Mephitis mephitis, you are absolutely correct.
Elon Musk should merge with this machine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thresher_(SSN-593)
Excellent. We need more people like you.

The courts cannot legally act as legislators, but they do anyway. It is the courts that are destroying the balance of power.

Doing it "better" is not always what people want.
Have you no pride?

Do we really want to run the economy on legalized theft?
<sarcasm> Well, sure, it isn't fair that the people who earned the profits get the profits. </sarcasm>

Growing gills is the only solution to losing a gaseous atmosphere.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Your premise is stupid and wrong.

Yet another person who's never heard of Parkinson's Law.
