You can drive when the moon is out, especially when there's a full moon. I've done it on lonely stretches of road. Just turn off the headlights and you can see pretty much everything you need to see. Of course you can't do it when there are other vehicles out and about.
And, may I add, the solution in the United States is NOT Common Core. Have any of you seen that crap?
There's no reason for experimenting with education. We know what works; we're just too chicken shit to do it. Gotta be politically correct even if it kills us.
Do you not think that the database would have those particular license plates listed so that no tickets would be issued?
That's my main objection to speed cameras, stop sign cameras, and red light cameras. I suspect that there is a list of politicians, city leaders, police officers, or friends of theirs who would never, ever get a ticket. The system knows which ones to ignore. The rest of us get the tickets.
I'd like to see somebody teach Bloomberg to mine coal. My guess is that he couldn't learn it if his life depended on it. He hasn't learned yet that if he closes every coal mine, he's going to be living in a cold, dark house.
Socialists and Communists themselves disagree about the definitions. There are some who would say Bernie Sanders is not a socialist even though that's what he calls himself.
Even being a member of the Socialist Party is not enough to convince some people, and nobody alive today is a Communist according to slashdot posters.
My last name has at least four different spellings, maybe more. If you enter one of them into Google, some exact matches will be found. But, if you enter them into a genealogical search engine, all the variations of the name will be found. Google is good at what Google does, but it's not always the best search engine for every task.
And we still have people denying we're living in a police state! This is what it looks like and we're there. Now the question becomes, how do we get rid of it without the loss of millions of lives?
I got the email today, too. My Prime membership is staying at $79 for another year.
Here's the text: "We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing in 2015. Your 2014 annual renewal will remain at the original price of $79. In March 2015, your membership will renew at $99/year."
I order about $2000 to $2500 worth of stuff per year from Amazon. Like somebody else said, I'd spend more than that per year on gasoline going to the various stores locally. And that's IF the product is even available locally. Most of what I buy online I can't find around here.
I still buy a ton of stuff from New Egg, too. They usually ship from Memphis to my home here in Birmingham, AL, so a lot of the time I get the stuff in a couple of days.
The snus I buy comes from Sweden. Nobody has it here in the U.S., so shipping is quite high, but I can order on Sunday and have it on Wednesday.
I'd say more but there's a drone landing in my front yard. I think my order has arrived!!
Now we can see our education system experience a blue screen of death.
Why do we keep insisting on experimenting with the way we educate our children? It ain't rocket surgery - we've been doing it for thousands of years. Why not just teach the stuff they need to know and cut out the political correctness and zero-tolerance crap? Hold the students accountable and flunk them if they don't make the grades necessary.
There are already thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines in the country. The Keystone pipeline would be much newer and safer than the older lines. It would be built with today's steel technology, not steel from the 50s or 60s. The older oil pipelines are the ones to be concerned about - they are already seeping oil into the ground. Replacing the old pipelines would indeed be a "shovel-ready" job, but nobody is talking about that.
One of the main reasons oil from Canada is being transported by rail instead of pipelines is money. Warren Buffet is making money hand over fist transporting oil by rail, and he's one of Obama's biggest campaign contributors. THAT'S the sole reason for delaying the Keystone pipeline.
How many more trains are going to blow up and how many lives are going to be lost before we learn?
He's not saying that. What he's saying is that it's hypocritical for politicians (and their minions) to have armed guards, and for us peons to not have the same means to protect ourselves. Even if all guns were confiscated, criminals would still have guns. That's why they're criminals - they don't obey the law.
I've always thought that somebody who has their own armed guards (politicians, celebrities, sports stars, etc) speaking out against firearms was hypocrisy to the extreme.
Oh, why do nearly all of the Federal agencies have their own armed officers now? Why have they been buying millions of rounds of hollow point ammunition? Why have they been buying sniper ammunition? Why does an FDA agent need a firearm? How long before they decide that they're the only ones who have firearms. Hmmm?
Stay in your country if you like it so much, and stay out of our discussions. You don't vote here.

If Stephenie Meyer finds out about the "Blood Moon", there's sure to be another one of those horrible Twilight movies.
Please, God, no.

Damn, it sounds like Karen Sandler could run for President as a Democrat!

NO
Not just because it's Obama. It's because it's coming from a politician and all politicians lie. Try to name one who doesn't.
There is a USB port!! There's just no use for it now. I'm sure Amazon has something in mind, but just hasn't released it yet.
If Amazon doesn't have an app soon, some third-party developer will jump on it.

I see Plex as one of the apps listed for the FireTV. That's how I stream local files to my Roku now. Should be the same on the Amazon FireTV.
He's actually a Democrat. It's not mentioned in the article, but he's definitely a Democrat.

Just give him a camera to take photos of himself, and a small printing press to print his own money. The man would never leave his home.
It's said that one of the most dangerous places to be is between Jesse Jackson and a reporter's camera. He will run over you to get in front of it.
Which Noone saw it coming? Peter Noone? Does he work in intelligence nowadays?
Just yanking your chain. I do agree with you, but I have no mod points today.
That's the goal - big empty cities. (see Detroit)
I could tell you how, but you're not going to like it. It involves religion, and most of you have an extreme dislike for religion.
If you expect nothing after you die, you won't be disappointed. Have fun with the years you have left because that's all you'll get.
That's funny. I've always thought of San Francisco as the new Sodom and Gomorrah.
In fact, if God doesn't destroy San Francisco, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
No, it was a different flight, but it probably crash landed on the same island.

What good is it to live a long time if you can't eat what you like to eat?
The four basic food groups are good enough for me - caffeine, nicotine, bacon, and pussy. Without those, life has very little meaning.
I just love it when one crook accuses another crook of being crooked.
As George Carlin would say, "Now THAT'S entertainment!"
