So you're great a going in a straight line while on the phone, good for you. When something happens, are you going to be able to react appropriately? You might assume yes, but who knows, and I as the driver in front of you as we approach a traffic jam do not wish to determine this experimentally. Put the phone down.
That's not true at all. My state has no such limitation, and explicitly authorizes an audible signal as an indication of passing.
As a bicyclist you should know from experience that motorists going around obstructions greatly increases the risk of hitting cyclists (not to mention pedestrians and other vehicles). A driver gets fed up sitting behind a stopped car and whips into the bike lane, right as you're passing by..
Back when I still used them, Blockbuster definitely had a form of "all you can eat" for both movies and games. I don't remember the details though. Apparently they still had some plans up until the end: http://www.blockbuster.com/stores/membership
Of course for most trips the time difference will be negligible. Going 10 mph faster for a 10 mile journey on arterial roads saves you a whole 145 seconds.
If Brazil spies on diplomats, to me that is a pretty clear reason to suspect that there might be additional surveillance taking place. It doesn't mean that it is taking place, but it doesn't pass the straight face test to say there is "no reason to suspect it".
I remember, apparently you do not. Deem and pass was discussed, but was never actually used for the passage of PPACA. It's also not that unusual, has been used 30-50 times per Congress in the last 20 years.
The 1995-1996 shutdown also closed all National Parks, including most memorials on the Mall. What is different from last time is that there are now established procedures for what closure of the park means, as well as the post 9/11 security atmosphere. In 1995, monuments without steps (e.g. Vietnam Memorial (WWII Memorial did not exist yet)) were not gated up, but those with steps (e.g. Lincoln Memorial) were.
Not all Democrats are equal, just as not all Republicans are equal (though they have much less of a spread). The votes of several conservative Democrats were needed to pass ACA. They did not support single payer, and Obama knew this from the start.
There was no death, talking, or fighting in the game, though. And it wasn't an RPG.. nor were there monsters or allies. Seems you've constructed your own strawman.
"The problem with this logic is that the Colorado events are being described as a 500 year flood. That is more than twice the age of the USA, and more than ten times the age of FEMA."
All this tells me is that you don't understand what "500-year flood" means.
Yes, shit happens. This is why environmental laws include an "affirmative defense", which more or less says you are not liable for shit happening.
However one component of affirmative defense is that you were operating in accordance with sound engineering principles and good environmental practice. A tank being opened for 5 days does not appear to meet that standard.
Simply cleaning up your mess is generally not sufficient recourse for environmental releases. There should always be a penalty component to prevent operators from thinking "oh who cares, we'll just fix it later".
The fact that they are spending money to drill seems to have no relevance on whether or not there should be a penalty.

"People willing to add minor inconvenience to multiple people around them adds up over time."
QFT... and on a 4-lane highway, one asshole really can slow everyone down for miles by creating a traffic wave.
Are you the same guy that brought up Hop like 5 times on the other Blockbuster thread? Just buy the damn thing already.

Must also consider that you could get actual comprehensive insurance rather than the junk minimum policy you have now.

Useless analogy.

The 'relevant access port' is typically the OBDII which is under the steering wheel. So you're back to needing direct access to the vehicle.
That is some Apple walled garden bullshit, nothing to do with automotive buses.
If someone is hacking around in the system, the warranty is void and the liability is on the one that does the hacking.
Legally no different than cutting off your cat.
The right to freedom can be removed and restored. The right to life cannot. Seems like a pretty good reason to me.
You could try to make the same argument about computers. But you would, and did, fail.

Everything is made of chemicals.
Cocoa processed with alkali is known as dutch-processed cocoa and has been around for almost 200 years.
Cane sugar actually requires more refinement ("chemicals"), btw.

Common mistake. Next you're going to tell us to go to Pat's or Geno's.
Hershey's Ice Cream is not related to Hershey's Chocolate.
This is not true.

Those Operation Witty Names are usually funded by federal grants.

"You cannot even build an empire."
What exactly do you think drives empire-building?

The vast majority of NG funding is federal.
