Box cake mix and a jar of frosting was how I was taught to make cupcakes when I was 10. That is not what these places sell.
These days, I make my own cakes and frosting from scratch. But I still buy from the bakery, because it's better and more varied than what I can do, and sometimes you're just lazy and want the product without all the work. Lastly, you can buy just one instead of making a dozen (which can easily lead to overeating).
"The biggest impediment is governments missing out on speeding & red light camera fines"
Which will be more than made up by the reduced need for police/fire/ems and road repair due to vehicle accidents, and the economic benefit from increased transportation network efficiency.
You most certainly can sue Ford if just your brakes were bad, it just doesn't usually get any publicity.
If there is any merit to your claims they will quickly and quietly settle. Ford settled many individual suits over the tire/rollover issue, sometimes paying out before a suit was even filed. Toyota settled the suit over the Lexus floormat incident.
It only speaks to QC on that one person's phone.. and even then it doesn't really say anything since you don't know if the error could have been caught by QC in the first place (e.g. caused by user dropping the phone).
"have driven teaching salaries close to the average for lawyers in many places, but most of the money goes to the most senile of the same mediocre labor pool."
Citation needed. Average lawyer salary is twice that of teachers per BLS. Areas with higher teacher pay also have higher lawyer pay so it's generally a wash there (and in many cases the increase in lawyer pay is greater than the increase in teacher pay).
The national average for lawyers is $129k mean, $113k median. In NJ it's $126k and $110k. NJ has the 4th highest teacher pay, and only 0.15% of teachers make more than $110k.
Note that $240 billion of ARRA was individual tax benefits (across 2 years). In the budget showdown, part of the agreement was a cut in the employee's portion of the payroll tax, totaling $112 billion (iirc that's across 2 years). Unemployment has been extended several times, and it's something like $80 billion a year now, just on the federal level.
You can argue that more money should be put in at the bottom vs the top, and I'd probably agree.. but you can't say that it hasn't happened.
In many jurisdictions the mileage is recorded at vehicle inspection. Showing 0 miles in the year or having no odometer is going to raise an awfully big red flag under a mileage-based tax system.
To clarify this should not be construed as support of the argument that religion is the cause of all conflict.
Strong belief in some kind of higher power seems to be the factor. It could be religion, it could be a dictator, it could be the idea that your country is the best there ever was and ever will be and can never be wrong.
As I understand, it's not practical to use a Prius battery outside of a Prius since you have to roll your own battery management and also deal with the voltage (~202 VDC), which generally requires the onboard inverter (and that has its own management software).
The phrasing appears in two locations, but it is slightly different.
In the Preamble, which is generally regarded as cruft, the phrase is "in order to.. promote the general welfare".
In Article I, Section 8, outlining the powers of Congress, the phrase is "The Congress shall have the power.. to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States." It's this section that the Court uses.
Many people keep saying this is an 'opportunity' but never say how it would make an attack any more successful. It's not like law enforcement is going to be sitting around watching the test.
And in addition to the fact that they have paid their dues, there's also the idea that since they are now the recipients of those benefits, they see first-hand just how important they really are. People seem to forget that the US existed before social security and medicare and that we came up with those programs for a reason.
The real issue is that most heating systems don't have a way to throttle. Even if the thermostat could output a variable signal, the boiler only understands on/off. Inefficient electric heating isn't really a solution, imo.
But in the spirit of the article, a thermostat could hypothetically 'learn' the buffer times in your example and manage the system that way. For example, if the thermostat knew (or learned) the average temperature loss, average lag time to warming, outdoor temp, etc.. then it might know to shut the heat off when the air temperature is 68F and the carry-through will take it to 72F.

The reason people call it an accident is to absolve themselves of blame. There are very few true accidents.

Your assertion then is that receiving welfare actually hurt your mother?
Does she share that belief? And if so, why didn't she choose to not accept the funds?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "DC of Canada".. Washington DC has high taxes (in the context of the US).
In the US corporations typically go to Delaware to avoid taxes and individuals to a state like Florida (though there are several others).

Yet both of them basically created a religion around themselves, otherwise known as a 'cult of personality'.
That kind of stuff was expressly against what Marx had written, so don't bother on that angle.

You do understand that those people have been paying taxes all their (working) lives for those benefits, right?
DDT was never banned for vector control, and is still used today. The reduction in DDT use was mainly because they adapted.
Natural gas is mostly methane.
Two of the countries we're talking about have over a billion people.. might want to think about your plan a bit more.
Shredded paper doesn't get recycled anyway. It's too small and annoying to deal with, they just throw it out at the recycling center.

Cooling is a side effect of dehumidification (or vice versa), not sure what you expect anyone to do about it.
