  1. Plus most of these stores seem to honor a remove from list request.

    "It may take 4 to 6 weeks for your unsubscribe request to be processed..."

  2. by signing up, you've agreed to receive the newsletter

    the ability to remove yourself from their list, after agreeing to receive their emails, is why they don't get fined

    Not when I buy something for my wife from store "A" and specifically un-check the "Send me more shit" button, but now I'm getting emails from stores "B" through "Z" for more. If I'm ever in charge of a corporate firewall again, you bet your sweet bippy that mailchimp, constant contact, et al are going to /dev/null

    I'm reading these articles about what a steadying hand Mike Pence

    I suspect this is the Republican game plan all along: use Trump's celebrity and free media pass to get the White House, then let him hoist himself on his own petard and Pence can take over.

    Had a good looking former girlfriend who as a waitress could clear $800 a night, $ 1 000 on weekends at a high end hotel bar. Graduated with her Master's degree and her income went from $1 000 a night part-time to $ 1 000 a week working full time.

    She lied to you - she was a stripper, not a "waitress". Once she hit 25 it was all downhill from there.

    I'll pay extra for a taxi.

    One of the top reasons I prefer Uber/Lyft over a taxi? It doesn't look like a taxi. With the shitty condition of taxis, and the random advertising splattered on them, I'd rather ride in the back of a squad car.

    I'd imagine that during the setup process for adding their account or devices they'd be forced to agree to the same onerous terms and conditions

    Or just unilaterally change the terms and conditions like virtually every other company does.

    One only has to look at the number of regulations we have to see evidence that we can limit corporations

    Good luck with that under the current administration.

    If Tesla wants to bail, they can change their name to Tesla Motors 2 and get out of it.

    Like GM did when they crashed, burned and were revived a few years ago - they got to wipe all their old debt and recall liabilities off the books.

    The Ehang is an octocopter -- so it can lose somewhere between 1 and 4 motors/props and still fly properly.

    Lose one motor and the remaining motors can get you all the way to the crash site; so quickly and efficiently, in fact, that you'll probably beat the ambulance by a good 1/2 hour or so.

    If there's a failure at the political level, it's in leaders at the state and national level not sitting down and explaining to these people that manufacturing as a major provider of low-skill high-paid jobs is done.

    Sadly, this. And explain that repealing environmental and labor regs will turn their back yard into a shithole and still not bring the jobs back.
