Only the safe distance rule applies? How about the traffic stay right except when passing rule? If I'm tailgating you, it's because you're driving improperly i.e. driving too slowly in the wrong lane. If you want to dawdle, move over where you belong. If you want to eat or text or make phone calls, stay the hell off the road. I've never understood what is so hard about this, yet 8-10 inconsiderate drivers a day leave me wondering how they managed to get a driver's license.
Kind of idiotic, tying your CC number to a kid's Xbox Live account, when there are these things called 'gift cards' that you should be using instead. Easy to obtain (everywhere sells gift cards now, grocery stores, Walgreens, even Home Depot) or virtual codes that you can buy from Amazon in about 30 seconds. There are also Facebook gift cards, that would accomplish the same thing.
Hmmm I've played 1000+ hours of Rocket League, and I've never once needed to buy a loot box. Nothing in them makes it easier to win. They are purely cosmetic.
Now, loot boxes that make your game easier, or give you advantages, I'm ALL for getting rid of those.
Get back to me when 'all those businesses that never received taxpayer support' have built their own infrastructure (private roads, not on the power grid, no internet connectivity, self contained septic and water system, etc.). Also, make sure the owners or their university educated employees all went to private schools (i.e. nobody from a state university or college).
The hoops you libertarians will jump through to justify discrimination.
Controller adapters should absolutely/not/ be banned, since
Actually, you don't even need a reason!
Why is it that someone thinks they can have a say over my console? For what reason??
It's like a farmer decides to reach out and ban sporks because they do not combine fork and spoon functionality well and may cause us to incorrectly eat some of the produced food. (or substitute a car analogy...)
This is a developer wanting to keep balance in their game, not trying to 'have a say' over your console. Hook up whatever you'd like to 'your' console, just don't let it un-balance 'my' game. If you want to play with a KB and mouse, why would you have a console anyway?
I'd encourage you to go visit a country like India or China, live near a coal burning plant for a year
I'll note that I've lived near a coal plant for about five years. But it was in the developed world with actual pollution controls.
Said pollution controls which are viewed by your ilk as 'oppressing' to business concerns, and always a target for GOP politicians and industry.
Look at Germany - they've got enough solar and wind power to supply _all_ their needs.
For two costs: 1) doubled their electricity prices, and 2) having to import major power when solar and wind didn't supply their needs.
Citations needed. Plus, even if electricity prices doubled, the savings from not having environmental disasters and increased healthcare costs from coal may even out.
Meanwhile back on topic: never have had a screen issue with my Androids, no cases, no screen protectors, but always kept in it's own pocket by itself. Wife has had pretty scratched up iphone 3, cracked iphone 4S screen (pretty good drop, probably would've broke any of my Androids), and I sprung for an otterbox for her 5S.
I'm almost positive I'm taking the bait here, but how is an iPhone more useful than an Android?
In my totally anecdotal experience, most of my male friends have Androids and use the hell out of them (music player, fitness apps, VOIP calling, etc.) and their wives (and mine) with iPhones texting and making phone calls and occasional web usage. Plus, my wife sees what I can do with my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 5 (fitness apps on the Galaxy, Chromecast, wireless Qi charging, NFC file transfer on both) that she can't wait to get an S5.
Please share where this school district is that has those kind of hours. I know three teachers and none of them has anything approaching that kind of schedule (roughly 7am to 4pm is about what these three work).
Also, you work 340 days a year? 20-25 days off? Uhmmm... alright. I'd be thinking about changing jobs.
Inequality has increased in Sweden in recent years and the nation has dropped from first in 1995 to 10th place in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s member ranking of income distribution. Relative poverty, as measured by the share of people with less than half the national median income, more than doubled to 9.1 percent in 2010 from 3.7 percent in 1995, according to an OECD study released this month.
Nowhere in my post is any hate, or bitterness, and most folks consider me pretty happy with the world. Just because you may possess these qualities doesn't mean that's how others are. I was pointing out the fact that FNC pays Palin for her punditry, and is able to reach an audience unmatched by O'Donnell and McKinney.
BTW, if you're white knighting for Palin, I'm afraid YOU are
...forming a world view based on a huge helping of deliberate ignorance.
p.s. that last part was an attempt at 'scoring some sort of points'
did you know people PAY to hear the dumbest woman on the earth speak?
You're talking, of course, about Rosie O'Donnell? Or were you referring to Cynthia McKinney?
And which network is paying them for their political 'insight'? Of course they aren't pundits for the left, we wouldn't pay heed to them.
Go back to your Fox News, I'm sure Hannity or Cavuto are waiting for you.
I don't know how old you are, but I got an ATM card around 1982. I was able to use it at all banks and ATM's without fee for at least 6 to 8 years, as long as the machine was on network (Plus or Cirrus, I believe it was). Parent was making the point that ATM's were free to use anywhere for a long time, and as time went on, they started charging us for access to our money, even though they were billed as convenient and money-saving for both bank and client. This doesn't seem like a 'dumb reason to complain' to anyone who remembers not paying to use the ATM.
Very nice, substantive reply there...
Did you miss the part where OP said you have a choice to send your child to a school with those policies? Keep him/her at home if you want YOUR rules to apply to their schooling.
And letting the parent decide the punishment, good one! "I'm sending my kid to school malnourished. I am wrong to do that, I shall now punish myself." Yeah, good one.
If it's my kid, Then I set the rules. Period the end.
"MY kid, MY rules." Sheesh. Here's hoping your child isn't raised to be a precocious asshat like his parent.
well I'm not going to comment on the quality of store brands, but in my 20+ years at Kroger, I know the store brands make a boatload of profit compared to the national brands... like a 4-1 margin... on some items, mayonaise for example, we'd make 60 to 70 cents on the store brand per unit, maybe 10-15 cents on Kraft or Best Foods. And that's only one example out of about 8000 or so.
We aggressively pushed store brands, the profits were much greater.
in case you might've missed it, the OP said 400,000 over the last ten years... which about fits with 49,000 in 1998...
and re: 3) Paralyze an entire nation's ability to move people and goods
I was stuck in Toronto after 9/11, and I sure would've liked to be able to get home to Denver, I'm still baffled as to why air travel was stopped. I mean, Al Queda took their best shot, flying airliners into structures, and I'm sure they were thinking they'd get a whole lot more than they did. America freaks, acts like this could happen on every flight, the politicians and FAA shut down air travel, and inconvenience millions... utterly ridiculous.
