I have experienced that in the north, on I-380 in Pennsylvania. It was over 20 years ago. There was freezing rain, and for whatever reason PENNDOT was totally unprepared. I was riding with my family in our conversion van, and as you crept forward at 5 MPH your vehicle would slide sideways with the banking of the road.
The box was cheap or free, but the antenna wasn't. For digital TV, it takes a roof aerial to pull in channels that could previously be received with rabbit ears. Apartment dwellers can't even use one of these antennas, even if they wanted to.
No. However, as the summary states, you can buy a monthly subscription using the in-game currency. This is what they use to determine the approximate value of ships, compared to the cost of a monthly subscription in real currency.
What do you do when they refuse to eat, then cry that they're starving when you're out in public?
What do you do when they refuse to use the bathroom, then pee themselves in public?
What do you do when they assault other people, especially other kids?
What do you do when they dart into traffic? Hang out an open window on the second floor? Play with matches? Play with knives? Torture animals? Steal?
I can guarantee you your lax homework policy will not fly with teachers or administrators-- and rightfully so. They may end up in a remedial track early, and they'll be too ignorant to understand the long-term implications.
Well, I've had a car that BARELY started after multiple tries at about 20F because the battery was 5 years old, and I've been stuck in the snow and ice three or four times... does that count? Because I've never had my fuel lines freeze up, even with a 1976 Ford in an upstate NY winter.
Further, we appear to be adapting to eating sugary, fried or other highly processed food, which means we say "Ewww!" when presented with ethnic foods we haven't seen before
It appears you are arguing I oppose all social programs. With no evidence presented to support that, this is a straw man.
In your next statement, you appear to defend the Democrats by complaining that the GOP isn't doing anything except railing against "43% moochers". My original argument was based on the fact that these cities are ruled by the other party, so expecting a party not in power to take action is unreasonable. You also seem to demand that they take specific actions which would require large amounts of public money and probably infringements on property rights, which is not only a false dilemma but also in opposition to the very objectives the GOP claims to have.
In your last statement, you assume that I'm a member of the Republican party. I am not. I have voted for people of various parties in the last few elections.
The Democratic Party should be the one imploding, not the GOP-- but the offer of free handouts is a tough one to campaign against. It's amazing how most failing cities have been under de facto on-party rule for decades, yet that party has managed to blame the other one for all its ills.
You'll have to forgive Costa. He's one of those folks who think we have a unitary government here, where D.C. would be calling all the shots. All those abandoned properties in Detroit are at the disposal of either the state or the city. That being said, I'm not sure a manifest destiny-era land giveaway would actually work today. There are vacant properties that will not sell for literally $1, because there are no infrastructure or services. It will take some incentives for investors to come in and create a new Detroit in these areas, but no politicians have the courage to do something that will be decried as "corporate welfare" to the political establishment.
What about unions? They exist in a free market. There was violence associated with the rise of unions-- not because a free market is untenable, but because the "captains of industry" were in collusion with the government; thus, NOT A FREE MARKET.
Aldus Pagemaker (before Adove) was apparently the killer app for Windows 2.x. I think it's the only Windows program we had in my high school computer class. We did most of our work in MS Word on the Xenix 386 system, of course.
I'm a music lover, but I still don't want to listen to music through headphones while I'm working. And if you have to wear headphones to drown out the noise of your working environment, it means the working environment is faulty.
Drinkypoo, do you get some kind of kick out of your childlike stubbornness? You're really like a four-year-old who ignores everyone and keeps repeating his nonsense. LIVING CREATURES USE CHEMICAL PROCESSES.

So do I, but my second floor isn't directly over the first floor.
My buddy's second floor is, but every time he goes upstairs he has to hop. "Hrup! hrup! hrup!"

Plus you have a nice warm, smelly emergency shelter. Don't forget your lightsaber.

Call us needlessly literal, but in America "below 0" means 0F, which is not "freezing". That's why the units were requested.
Congress authorized military action in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe you weren't paying attention.
I used the term "free handouts", which he translated into "any and all welfare programs" and then implied that I was a Republican, which I was not.
It seems you missed the nuance.
Who is this "we" you are talking about?
Let's study your response.

All this Anti-American sentiment in an article about oppression in the UK. It seems we've hit a nerve.
It doesn't need to be an Iron Curtain. Now that the west is as authoritarian as the old Soviet Union, there is no place to which to escape.

Jobs wasn't a Christian, but he did seem to subscribe to the belief that one's left hand shouldn't know what the right is doing.
No way. I hear their health benefits stink.
10base2 is ethernet; it's just a physical layer tech intended for a bus rather than a star topology.

You can't build solar panels without polluting. You're done. Now, it's naptime for you.
