So why does a house you can build just about anywhere for $250,000 cost $1 Million in California.
This is a common misperception. The cost is in the land, not the house itself.
In places where land is cheap, the cost of the structure that sits on the land is significant. In California (and the Bay Area specifically) the cost of the structure is almost (but not entirely) irrelevant.
This is a common misconception. Paying the workers to build the house in high cost areas is more expensive because they are paid more than people in low cost areas. Materials also cost more in high cost of living areas. You can see the difference at grocery stores, gas stations, etc....high cost of living areas have higher overhead costs (wages, taxes, and other expenses) that are passed along to those consumers.
So, if your daily commute normally takes you by this one intersection, and suddenly the government comes along and tells you that you have to take a route that's now 45 minutes longer, I guess you should just adjust and adapt. And, oh yeah, you can't move closer. So, you can just suck up that extra commute expense because we're doing something for Elon, er, umm, the greater good.
Peer has been broken for quite a while, and there are many articles on why. The basic issue is that there's no money in reviewing papers, and it doesn't help anyone with their own career growth.
Glad I searched for Trump before posting nearly the same thing. However, "hundreds of millions..."...nah, Twitter was mostly used by the media already, all we needed to do was let them keep reading his meanderings. Personally, I haven't ever tweeted, nor will I "follow" these narcissists that feel the need to tell the world when they're on the shitter.
I started in open-beta. Double experience was based upon a couple factors. First, how long you'd been offline. And second, if you logged off with your character in a city, town, or appropriate inn. You could gain that same status, staying online just by parking your toon in a city for a while. But the duration of how much double experience you could get was also based upon how long you sat in the city/town/inn, or were offline. It also maxed out at gaining 1.5 levels.
This is pretty much what happened with the ASVAB test when I went in the USAF back in the 70s. The low scoring folks ended up as either cooks or security police. Which always raised the question in my mind...what happened to all those dumb cops when they got out of the military? Don't answer, it's obvious.
Really? This requires a SCOTUS decision?!? If the iPhone were anywhere close to being the only choice, you might be able to make a case. But it's not, and Apple's not anywhere close to a monopoly.
Yup. We built our home in 2001, and had it partially pre-wired, including a large open conduit from the basement to the attic (3 stories above). But, in the long run, it was mostly a waste since I'm running mostly everything over wireless.
I don't see the average consumer wanting to deal with cabling all over their home. Especially, when wireless is likely to be a much less expensive and messy option.
If that were my only layer of security, I'd be worried. It's not, and worst case (aside from confronting me, Smith and Wesson), would be paying the deductible on my insurance. But there are several layers between those.
I won't attempt to dispute your comment on the world's knowledge. However, I find "hashtags, selfies and 180 characters" worthy of a revolt. If you're life is reduced to that, you may want to walk off a cliff while you're staring at that phone. Nothing on my phone is going to compare to the experiences I've had in Machu Picchu, Alaska, Hawaii, and the UK this last year. Put down the fucking phone, and live.
Old people today act like the USA is so much more violent and riddled with crime when in reality we have considerably less violence and crime.
Oh bullshit. Plenty of people of all ages do, so cram your stereotype up your AC. The only thing that's really different is that the media has gotten better at convincing the lemmings that things are so bad...more drama, more viewers, more profit. The rest of us can read the actual statistics.

Then along came biometrics (from the Home Office, who had their strings pulled by MI5, who in turn had theirs pulled by the NSA).
Um, so you're going to blame this on NSA, and why isn't this also required in the US then?
Having been in the UK a couple times in the last year, I'm not so sure that "behind" is the correct choice of words.
which is entirely optional.
Unless you are legally required to pay your taxes.
Was it a legal requirement to pay using your voice?

Why would I pay $2 to see...oops, didn't have my reading glasses.

Older fish are bigger and heavier too, so they should sink more. /sarcasm
Um, they have. Babelfish.

No -- a taxi is guaranteed to ...some bullshit
Yes it happens, and no, NO, it's not guaranteed, nor as common as you imply.

Apples vs Oranges (or Comcasts)
It's a false equivalence. Yes, Comcast (and others) should be treated as monopolies because they are on a local basis. Apple is not.

Yes, Deadpool rose above the trash, but the sequel fell back into the sewer.

OF COURSE I would believe a random Joe before I believe a law enforcer. Who wouldn't?
The majority of the public.
