Pretty sure most "gun nuts" are all about private property. Also pretty sure most of them have that "Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again" sign every 15 feet around their property.
Yeah, I mean, the NRA has NEVER endorsed or opposed a political candidate. And even if they did, it's not like their members would be swayed to vote for them. Nope, never happened. Not. Ever.
Oh wait, except always and forever. Other than "always" and "forever" it never happened.
Haven't you heard of "rolling blackouts?" They're saying "sorry, you won't get electricity tonight because your neighbor is consuming too much power."
Recently the hospital I work at got a call from the local power company asking us to run on genny for a few hours and sell them some of our excess juice.
Yup, I had a 5-at-a-time plan and would go through all five movies in two nights. After sending all 5 back on the same day, I'd get the next 5 spread out over 3-4 days.
You can use it but what you can't do is use it for things you agreed not to use it for in your Terms of Service agreement.
That tends to include such things as "running servers." Because of the amount of data uploaded by things like BitTorrent, the ISPs tend to consider that "running a server."
The problem is that running ANY bittorrent program is considered "running a server" by just about EVERY ISP, and if you read your terms of use agreement, "running a server" is terms for cancellation for most home connections.
Well, if the 2040 date is accurate, I'm going to be retiring right after SS goes tits up.
That's why I started planning for my retirement when I was 19. Of course, this recent session of "strong economic fundamentals" has really gutted my 403b.
You're simply wrong. I recently ditched XM, and during my drive to/from work there's a tiny hill with some trees on it. It's maybe a 20 yard stretch, and every time I would go past it, I'd get no signal until I was somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes from the dead spot.
There was a guy who modified a widespread worm to remove the original worm, apply the patch that fixed the hole, and delete itself. IIRC he was nabbed before the guys who wrote the original worm.
The thing that I love is that Microsoft is offering anti-virus and malware services.
"Hey, that car you bought has no doors, but if you subscribe to this service, for a low monthly price, we can screw some plywood over the holes. It will reduce your fuel economy, slow your acceleration, and make all kinds of noises when you're actually driving."
The awesome thing is that all the idiots flying in from all over the world to watch some people who, after a year and maybe some commercial deals, will be forgotten... Yeah, those jets don't run on sunshine and lollipops.
The environmentalists believe in science as long as it supports their worldview. That is, not drilling for more oil. As soon as a scientific finding conflicts with what they want, however, you can bet said belief wavers considerably.
The old LFG channel was the barrens. Everyone on both continents could say whatever they wanted to everyone else, and it was opt-out.
The current system is still a nightmare, but at least they're trying.
Half the time when I'm looking for a group it throws someone into a party with me and makes me the leader. The other half of the time, I get an invite, join the party, get asked my spec, and get kicked.
The only groups I'm finding is by asking in the general chat of the zone the instance is in.

Lay's makes chips, and I'm sure they've shipped over a billion of 'em...
Coke and Pepsi.
The awesome thing is that every single study done on subliminal messages has shown that it's bullshit.

If when I bought the car, I was told "you get unlimited access to 100mph driving" I'd be pissed when I was told I had to go 25mph through town, yeah.

"does this give the shipping company or government the right to open my mail and packages because it passes through their facilities?"
Yes? Have you met the ICE? How about Homeland Security? Hell, even before that your packages were sniffed for drugs.

The thing with unemployment claims is that if the guy quit or whatever you can contest the claim and you'll end up paying nothing towards his checks.
And the ones who are raising five kids raise them to live off the welfare system.

We pay taxes to keep the water treatment plant running, but we also pay a monthly bill for the water we use.
My road is plowed by the people who live on it because the town/state ignores us.
"It's entertainment without commercials and it's the only (legal) place to listen to Howard Stern each day."
You say that like it's a good thing.

The woman told the girl that nobody liked her and that she was a terrible person who should commit suicide.
As TFS mentions, nobody involved in the writing/publishing of the book would get a dime of that used copy.

Instead of, you know, just including doors.

Well, it'll be 2080, so hopefully you would have replaced the drive sometime in the 2020 - 2030s.
