Every school around here can contact the parents in case of early dismissal, not to mention that early closures are announced on the radio and television.
After school activities are just that - after school. Who cares if a child uses a phone after school? That's not what we're talking about.
We'd have all the workers we need had we not aborted millions of Americans. Who knows, we may have killed the one who would have discovered the cure for cancer or invented warp drive.
Science calls it "cause and effect". I call it, "You reap what you sow."
Plus most of the major highways along the coast of the Florida panhandle, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas run parallel with the coast. Only a few major highways lead away from the coast and even when they make the interstate highways one-way going north, the traffic is horrible.
Are they also going to identify which kids are the bullies in school so they can pay them lunch money every day?
I have a novel idea! Why not pay people to work? Surely there are places in that backwards city that need to be cleaned up, grass to be cut, trees to be trimmed, cars to be washed, you get the idea.
You don't know your history. Let's see what an economist says about the matter. I think most would agree that Thomas Sowell is smarter and better educated than most people who post on slashdot.

Pay special attention to the historical part: "Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely -- and correctly -- regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg's great book "Liberal Fascism" cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists' consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left's embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s.
Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left."
FYI, W.E.B. Du Bois was the co-founder of the NAACP, hardly a right-winger.
They strive to hit new lows and this time they've nearly bottomed out. Some of them truly are ambulance chasers and now they let the ads chase the ambulances for them. Scum of the Earth, crud at the bottom of the barrel, less than human.
Great, as long as we can sue city councils, state legislatures, and Congress for the damage they do. You see, government is far more dangerous to humans than any manufacturer of any product ever made. You just don't understand it.
Automatic transmissions were invented for non-drivers. That's the problem - hardly anybody really knows how to drive, so we keep inventing ways to let them fake it.
"I have yet to hear of a weed that can resist being pulled out of the ground and tossed into the compost bin."
You've never met Kudzu. Go ahead. Pull it up and come back a month later. The vine may be 30 feet long by the time you get back. It grows so fast, it's dangerous to sleep with your windows open.
The way to reduce automobile accidents is to rid the road of drunk drivers and texting drivers. When you subtract those two causes, humans are pretty good drivers.
Maybe in 10 or 20 years your dream of self-driving cars will come true. They're just not good enough yet.
What I do is order one of an item of clothing (pants, shirt, socks), and if that one fits, I order more of that item in various colors (shirts) or just more of them (e.g. blue jeans or slacks).
It also helps to order the same brand because once you know how they size items, you can almost bet the next ones you order will be the same size as the first one. For example, Wrangler jeans' sizes are consistent within the Wrangler brand.
It seems to me that we have some fairly secure hardware and software systems available, but most people are too stupid to know how to use them properly.
I agree, though, civil and/or criminal penalties may get their attention.
A lot of people have children they cannot afford to have. We see it every day. That's why poverty is so rampant. The urge to procreate is unstoppable.
Back before I had children I was talking to my mother about how my wife and I could afford to have a child. My mother told me that if they had waited until they could have afforded to have me, I wouldn't be here yet.
Sometimes you have to have faith and take the plunge. It was a struggle for a few years and some sacrifices in lifestyle were made, but I was surprised at how easy it was to raise two children and give them what they needed. Once you have little ones depending on you, you come to understand what in life is important and what you can live without.
Skip the five dollar coffee and designer clothes. Don't be selfish. Get with it and have a family.
I wish FedEx would teach their drivers how to read!
I've been ordering online since the beginning, and ordering by mail or phone before that. The only problems I've ever had with deliveries have been because of FedEx. Right street, wrong house number. Right house number, wrong street. Right street and right house number, wrong city.
UPS and USPS can read the street signs and my house number. Why can't FedEx? All the new technology in the universe won't help if the drivers can't read.
"Risen" (with a long 'i' - rhymes with Ryzen) is another name for a pimple or boil, an unpleasant infection of the skin. Every time I see the word "Ryzen" it nearly makes me sick.

Sometimes those greener pastures are greener because of all the fertilizer, if you get my drift.

Quit fucking. You're producing too many people. I can't continue supporting you. Try oral sex or jerk off, just quit fucking!!

Imagine what would happen if cash were eliminated from your country. That's the goal of the financial industry and the goal of some governments.

No, if you're talking assholes, you're talking about Uranus.

More Facebook users. Just what the world needs!
That "respectful treatment" you refer to is commonly called "courtesy". Everyone deserves courtesy, but only those who earn it deserve respect.
I know you can change the "wake word" for Alexa, though you can't change it to anything other than a few words on a list.
If all of these devices had the ability to change to a truly customized wake word, it would be harder for an attacker to activate the device.
I don't own one, but if I did I'd change the wake word to "Shit head". Hey, shit head, what's the weather like today?
