So, this stems from the fourth amendment, an the interpretation of it by the SCOTUS. Getting the law changed would likely require a new amendment, so good luck with that. And, I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to have additional privacy protections, just that the trend has been for them to erode rather than increase. Who knows, maybe the pendulum will swing far enough for a major change.
Not disagreeing with you. However, our home has dual zones, and very well insulated...custom built for us. This is really just her. She'll often ask me if it's hot inside after she's just been doing chores. Oh, and the hot flashes started a couple years ago.
Reminds me of my wife, who will insist that the house is colder when it's colder outside, and then go adjust the temp up. I've tried explaining it to her a couple times, but she's a double MBA, and we all know how well management listens to engineering.
Not sure if it's the same thing, but I had a late model Camaro for a recent rental. I could set my finger on the screen button to change stations, but literally had to push for it to change, and it seemed like you could feel it. Sorry, it's been over a month, so my recollection is a bit dicey.
My SRT8 Charger has an 8" display. It really comes down to the UI. Are the various menu layers all in the same spot (usually in this case)? Also, I have knobs, or buttons that duplicate some of the functions...temperature, volume, station, etc. Additionally, there's voice control (not a big fan yet, but I've only tried it a couple times). The Nav (basic functions), bluetooth, etc., can all be handled w/o spending more than a split second glancing at the screen.
Wrong. I've personally had it happen to me in a '85 Hyundai. The vehicle was relatively new at the time, and had a manual transmission. After tapping the throttle to try to unstick it, I flipped the ignition and stopped the car. Once completely stopped, I restarted, and with my foot on the clutch watched at the tach approached redline until I shut it down again. I was eventually able to get it going again, and headed straight to the dealership. They found nothing, and it never reoccurred.
Yes, I'm well aware that people can hit the wrong pedal...there's no way I did that twice. I believe in my case, the throttle got stuck when I had floored it..those vehicles had very little acceleration.
The aerospace industry deploys bugs very frequently. Don't pretend like you don't. Yes, for some applications, we test the hell out of it, but bug free, hardly.
He stated "As a rule, famine doesn't happen because people live in a desert." To which I agreed with the reasons he cited, but corrected this specific error.
From Wikipedia: many African countries are not self-sufficient in food production, relying on income from cash crops to import food. Agriculture in Africa is susceptible to climatic fluctuations, especially droughts which can reduce the amount of food produced locally. Other agricultural problems include soil infertility, land degradation and erosion, swarms of desert locusts, which can destroy whole crops, and livestock diseases. The Sahara reportedly spreads at a rate of up to 30 miles a year.[ Historically, famines have occurred from agricultural problems such as drought, crop failure, or pestilence.
We need a model to tell us that food shortages increase the risk of uprisings? How about one that tells us the probability of riots when the temperature increases. Sounds like someone got funding, and produced a study proving the obvious.
And, I may be completely off base since I didn't read TFA.
Queue the late great Sam Kinison: You want to help world hunger? Stop sending them food. Don't send them another bite, send them U-Hauls. Send them a guy that says, "You know, we've been coming here giving you food for about 35 years now and we were driving through the desert, and we realized there wouldn't BE world hunger if you people would live where the FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT!! UNDERSTAND THAT? YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT!! NOTHING GROWS HERE! NOTHING'S GONNA GROW HERE! Come here, you see this? This is sand. You know what it's gonna be 100 years from now? IT'S GONNA BE SAND!! YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT! We have deserts in America, we just don't live in them, assholes!"
So, get one thing straight, Rush does not speak for the right wing. Sure, he and his followers are a component, but I would argue, a small (and rather extreme) component of it. There are many of us who consider ourselves to be conservatives, who think he's nothing but a loud mouthed, self serving jackass. There are also many of us who believe in smaller government, and other conservative positions, but that doesn't mean we have to buy into all the other positions (anti-abortion, anti-immigration reform, etc.). It's not a requirement to take all or nothing. Sure, some people like him would call us RINOs, but fuck them, they don't get to define what a republican is.
Now, I assume you're talking about the president when you mentioned a skilled orator, and I'd agree. Though, I think the comparison is a bit unfair.
Bullshit. Since the early 70s, the B52 has been able to strike from much farther than any antiaircraft weapon can reach. The AGM-86 was designed specifically for it, and with a range of 1500nm, nobody was going to get close to a buff launching one. By the way, they can carry 20 at a time. That was replaced by the AGM-129 with a 2000nm range, also specifically for the B52.
Our neighborhood (D.C. suburb) does have buried lines. The builder here had to blast bedrock when putting in the homes, so I'm sure the underground utilities weren't a simple matter of running a backhoe through. And, while having them buried is esthetically pleasing, it hasn't spared us from power or cable outages. And, I have the added disadvantage of having my lawn painted by all the utility companies whenever a neighbor decides they need to dig.
Or Michigan, where I grew up. However, they have the equipment and experience it frequently enough to know what to do. Around here (D.C. suburbs), you also end up with idiots who think they can just hop in their cars and drive around in it. FWIW, we have about 12 in. in our driveway, and I'm sure I could get around in my Jeep, but then I'd likely get stuck behind others who thought they could get around this crap in something a bit less capable.
We've lived in a neighborhood (Fairfax VA) with all buried utility wires since 2002. In that time, our power has gone out several times, including once for three days. We've also lost cable/internet (Cox) numerous times. The vast majority of these outages were very local issues. So, for us, the only advantage has been missing the eyesore of wires strung everywhere. On the downside, whenever a neighbor wants to dig for something in their yard, all the utility companies come through to spray paint on our lawn (it's been about a couple times a year), marking where the wires run.
I was there several times in the 80s (it was a short drive from my place in Germany), and spent a couple days just last year. In what ways do you claim that it's worse?

And, it should be the reason why those companies should never see the data. Everyone at high risk would likely be denied coverage.
Could it be because they pandered to that audience?

Someone call Oliver Stone, he'll know what to do!
See my post above. Yes, I was able to turn off my ignition, and stop. Mine was most likely a stuck throttle, as I was able to recreate it.
Sure people hit the wrong pedal, and some are just looking for a payday. But let's not pretend that it doesn't happen.

Well, if that's the case, point out the inconsistencies and be done with it. Then, we can shoot the messenger, but not before.

As a rule? No. Yes, it does happen for the reasons you mentioned, but go look up famine in wikipedia, and read.
He didn't do shit, other than SIGN HIS NAME to congressional appropriation bills.
FTFY, and thus he takes ownership.

Unless you're this guy, who's done the same shit twice now.
