The place where I get my coffee prices it so that with tax it comes out to $1.31. Why? I have no fucking clue, since usually they just round it to $1.30 and we're all happy. But this week, they've started giving me four pennies as change....
Think about it. They'd have to get new cash drawer trays to hold on to the coins. People manning the registers would have to learn how to make change all over again.
Yeah it took so long to learn in the first place...
Most cash drawers have extra slots already. And businesses around the train stations (where machines give change in dollar coins) have no problem with it.
It is so common to see solar power plants dismissed out of hand as impractical. I don't understand why this mindset is so pervasive in our society. I guess the oil propaganda has really worked.
There's a political aspect, as well. One of Reagan's first moves was to take the solar panels off the White House.
even the most retarded Al Qaeda operative is probably going to think of using a false name.
Actually some 9/11 attackers were on FBI watch lists and used the names on the watch list to buy tickets. However they were not on the "no fly list" which was grossly expanded after 9/11.
Even now though, older SSN's are being reissued as people die off.
Myth.

We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder's death. Even though we have issued over 420 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.
you never, ever, ever leave the location you ended up at. If you look at history you'll see this is a strong reality that is repeated over and over..
But you can also look at history and find examples where staying put would have meant certain death. For instance, the surviving passengers of Uruguayan Flight 571 (known from the book and movie "Alive") only made it because two of the victims hiked out of the mountains. They had been given up for dead.
Dude, everyone calls it Targé.. it's not a socal thing. From wiki:
Some of Target's fans jokingly refer to a Target store as "Tar-zhay" or Targé (Tar-jé) (IPA: [te]), as though it were a French word, a reference to its more upscale image compared to its competitors. This trend is incorrectly believed to have been started by Oprah Winfrey, when she used the French pronunciation to refer to the store on her television show. This conflicts with the information in Laura Rowley's book, On Target, which traces the pronunciation back to 1962, the year the first Target opened. This pronunciation has also led some people to incorrectly believe that the company is French-owned.
You have to remember some of dada21's political beliefs are not exactly "mainstream". Of course, neither are mine (whose are, really?), and I also generally avoid talking about politics in real-life.
Many people tend to make grand assumptions about your character when they discover you believe in some "non-mainstream" ideals (be it libertarianism, democratic socialism, anarcho-capitalism, etc.). Hell, you should see the assumptions people make simply because of my UserID, even in non-political discussions.
Note: I don't really like the term "mainstream" but don't have anything better to replace it with.
Would you rather be in a 17th century English brick house on the historical register with no changes allowed? Or in a modern American wood house building-code compliant?
False dilemma. I can't believe this post was modded up.
The cases that make reference to foreign law do not use that law as the main basis for the decision. Indeed, foreign law was only included in Lawrence as a rebuttal to a point advanced by Burger in Bowers. This blurb puts it best:
Scalia and the House Republicans, for effect really, are mixing up the difference between listening to foreign ideas and obeying foreign commands.

Because US money isn't made of paper (it's more like linen), it also survives the wash. But the other downsides (wear and tear) remain.
Congress also has the power to delegate their authority in many cases.

It doesn't do anything. It's a homeopathic product (meaning it's a placebo). It's just a big stick of wax.
Ever been on the big screen at a baseball game? Try complaining about that.
I wouldn't do that without reading the back of the ticket, first....
