The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Well, in the case of divorce proceedings, the correct counter is, "I do not trust the ISP to filter porn and only porn, so I would rather use the filter in my brain."
So let them check off the box next to "Yes, protect me from The Digital Devil" when they sign up.
This is not about a filter existing. It is about that filter being turned on by default so you have to call up and answer awkward questions about why you want to look at porn if you want it turned off.
In Europe (at least in Denmark) we still have sirens placed around the country that can be used to warn against impending air attack (the original use), chemical spill or other such nasty "Get to safety!" events.
Besides, they could just add a "State of Emergency" clause rather than allowing political solicitors to call you whenever.
Speed limits - at least in my country - are based on the type of road, whether you're driving in the city (50 km/h), between cities (80 km/h) or on the freeway, highway, motorway or whatever it exactly translates to (110/130 km/h).
This is regardless of whether the road has been recently repaired to avoid confusion on what the speed limit is today. You were in the city doing 70 km/h? Ticket.
The difference is that drug companies make a bunch of good and totally legit stuff.
Bossland's business model is literally to create programs that circumvent the rules of computer games to a point where the players not paying Bossland for the cheat are essentially held ransom as they can't realistically compete.
I would compare using a bot (with its improved reflexes, perfect aim etc.) to using doping in sports.
Try doing that and see how far you get after a blood test.
It is about having a level playing field where it is personal skill that determines your success, not whether you come up against a near-perfect computer program instead of another human.
Full disclosure: Never played Overwatch, not my preferred kind of game. I do believe in fairness, however. And I just can't wrap my head around why people would pay for a game, pay to play that game, and then pay MORE for a program so they DON'T have to play that game.
You very conveniently left that part out. Are you intimately familiar with the location of every little pot hole and slight incline or decline on the side of the road on the entire highway system?
I come from a country where a lot of people ride bikes, I forgot the US does not do that.
Not looking if there is a bike coming up behind you is a recipe for disaster. I would MUCH RATHER 'fuck up about a mile of traffic' than kill someone, sorry you got to work five seconds later.
Swerving shouldn't happen frequently enough to raise red flags. If it does your driver is a hazard on the road. Turning into a side street should happen with the car slowing down, turning on the blinker, checking there are no bikes coming up from behind and then turning at low speed, not doing a sudden 90 degree turn at cruising speed. Going over the speed limit on an empty highway is still going over the speed limit and against the law.

That is exactly why the church now provides free wifi services to all those who are in need. .
Unfortunately you can't do that as an Anonymous Coward, you have to get registered on the Possibly Sexual Deviants list to get outside the filter.
Billies or nannies?

That's Uber.
Please solve the problem of getting groceries TO the grocery stores if no one can drive anywhere.
Please solve the problem of shopping for groceries if I can't drive to the grocery store and no one from the grocery store can drive to my house.
I'm all for reducing traffic, but I kinda hate starving ...
Fe is iron.
F is fluorine.
Clearly this only works if you've used brain bleach.
I'm curious.
If your router's settings are fubar and won't let you go online, how do you connect to the cloud to change the router's settings so you can go online?

That's exactly what someone trying to hide the truth would say! Why are you so ashamed of the world knowing about your kiddie porn collection?
Got public health insurance in Australia, or does no employer want to get the bill for the insurance?
The point of my list wasn't accuracy anyway, but pointing out that each employee wasn't getting nearly a million AUD per year.
Wages, electricity, power, perhaps rent for the office area, server maintenance, pensions, health insurance ...
and the construction of the road itself

No excuse for people to not already have a large personal music collection.
Apart from most of what's been released in the past decade or two being the same rehashed theme - and crap.
