And if this passes, they'll have the right to destroy your business with lawsuits if you demand they be on call 24/7/365. Then you won't have a business.
Go back to high school or college physics.
Power is energy per unit of time. Watts are joules per second.
So an AR-15 with a large mag is a more powerful gun than your 30-06. It can deliver more energy to the target in a shorter time, even if that energy isn't in a single round.
So yeah, it's more "powerful."
Sounds more like a prison than a rural high school. Is this what we've come to as a country? Easy availability of powerful guns, but not mental health therapy. Easy prescription of drugs that numb the mind, but strict penalties for drugs that expand the mind. Bullying and violence being legitimized and/or ignores. Long working hours, broken families, absentee parents. Media looking for more, more, and more ad revenue, even if it means glorifying heinous criminals, discussing their crimes non-stop for weeks, and encouraging copycats. Multiple studies have shown that things like suicide increase when other peoples' acts are publicized.
Actually, a bigger problem are the media. Not the "liberal" media, but media of all political views that talks about mass shootings non-stop, publishes the faces and names of the criminals responsible for weeks afterwards. If it bleeds, it leads. I get that that's their bread and butter, but publicizing those kinds of heinous crimes constantly glorifies them and breeds copycats.
What's the answer? We can't legally restrict the press, nor should we. But perhaps if we choose not to watch segments on those crimes nor read about them online, the ad revenue from glorifying those heinous acts will decrease and the media won't have an incentive to do so.
This is one part of the equation. The other is over-medication of children in the US, the fact that bullying has become easier online, and yes, the lack of GOOD (i.e. not just pill-pushing) mental health treatment options at a reasonable cost.
Exactly -- the ideal situation would be legalization between consenting adults so the industry is in the open and can be monitored for offerings that don't involve consenting adults. Harm reduction, same as with drug legalization -- let the people have their fun while rooting out the real bad actors.
But American Puritanism (from both parties!) won't let such a rational policy be enacted.
If you have to pay for parking, it's generally in a downtown area where you can walk. Booze = easy enough to sneak into a theater. Flasks exist that fit in a pocket and once the lights are off, who's the wiser?
You need two things - (1) a phone and (2) the card. Both of which can be passed around between roommates depending on which one wants to go on which day.
That's basically cheaper than Netflix and on a better screen. Also, if the app is on a shared smartphone, that's one movie per day for any member of a family or set of roomies.
Intel NUC with J3455 is $125 new. 8GB is $75. 525GB SSD is $140. For $350, you can have a much better spec than the "Pro" model, and everything just snaps together in the NUC.
If a new package A/C costs significantly more, wouldn't it shift the cost/benefit toward fixing the old one, instead of trashing it? Things like condensers and switchgear can often be replaced or even repaired.
At some point, could the quantity of spam overwhelm any third-party moderation service? i.e. if the signal-noise ratio was made 1:10000 by spammers, on the principle that sending spam is basically free, and 1 in 1000 spam messages will evade filters.
Non-inflation-adjusted energy prices are lower than they were 10 years ago. Even with higher fuel taxes in many states. Housing prices still haven't recovered from bubble highs in much of the US. Food has actually risen slower than CPI over the past 35 years.
If John Deere gets hurt, I wouldn't weep at all. These are the DMCA trolls that sell equipment that doesn't allow for even minor repairs without expensive software that's only provided to authorized service techs.

It's a fairly "dumb" RFID chip -- should be easily enough to spoof a signal. You eat salad all the time, even when you're eating Snickers.

i.e. Avoid the Cloud. It's actually made up of mustard gas and chlorine, not water vapor.

Or religious/Puritan zealotry, which amounts to the same thing.

Yeah, they don't care about booze, especialy if you pour your flask into a soda container post factum...

Stick it on a secondary phone with a cheap data plan, only allow it to run just before the movie.
You need two things - (1) a phone and (2) the card. Both of which can be passed around between roommates depending on which one wants to go on which day.
Sneaking food/booze into a theater is basically trivial.
You can usually just order a 12v adapter with appropriate amperage and connector off Amazon or EBay.
Hollywood puts out a lot of overproduced junk with too many special effects. Go to an independent film festival for more interesting movies.

Remember the hacker group "Cult of the Dead Cow?" Never trust the Bovine Threat.
If they abuse their customers, let them and their workers perish.
