No, the bag ban was very smart... for someone, somewhere. Money and/or power has changed hands over the law.
Once you learn to see the world this way, you understand how simple the world really is. Everyone sits around aghast and baffled that the California government can be so blindly driving 200 mph at a brick wall, but the folks in Sacramento are gobbling up money and influence hand over fist. They don't give a shit. They'll rape the system for all they can, and when it does crash, they'll bolt.
Even the little flunkies and sycophants are having a great time. I assume you're in or near L.A. Did you hear the story about millions of gallons of gas from the city vehicle fueling station gone missing? It was being sold by the guys who worked there. No one cares.
All my living a good and honest taxpaying life has rewarded me with is the feeling I'm the biggest mothereffing sucker in the world.
If "optimize for mobile" includes preventing zoom, they can just stop right now, thanks. Seriously, there's web design help sites where people discuss how best to stop people browsing on hand held devices from zooming in. And then they all set their font sizes to about 4 point. Evil, evil people.:-P
They should have had a deeper crafting system, and fixed some of the oddities. I would have bought ALL the DLC if they had done that.
Seriously, my smithing is maxed out to 10, and I'm getting bottom rung components when I break up top of the line armor and weapons? It's like I became a smithing god when crafting a weapon, but when it's time to disassemble something, I turn into a three year old with a mallet.
If they are way over the top and done more to enrich others than to save anything or anybody? Hell fucking yes those things can be oppressive. How many "for the children" lines of bullshit do you need dumped on your head before you wake up? FFS, it's people like you who happily and smugly led us to this dismal place in history.

So there's no way a successful and educated population can be diverse and creative. Got it. I do like to check in on ideologythink now and again.
Why not report on the apparent boon that's coming Oakland's way, what with the tide of diverse and creative refugee artist families heading their way.
Also, don't they both want to be media hubs? There's a lot of DVDs and BluRay out there. Be silly to not play them.

There's calories from sugar, from fiber, from protein, etc. If you try and reduce the issue to a single variable, yeah, you'll get confused.
That being said, the ban *IS* a whole truckload of fail.
If so, how come many fat people don't have diabetes?
Uuuuuuuuummmmmmmm... genetics?
And how on earth did this become the top priority in NYC over crime, housing problems, etc?
Sociopaths. Someone, somewhere is making money or gaining power because of this.
It's all or nothing, buddy. You want the nude supermodels you gotta take the nude Walmartoids.
Hey, it'll toughen you up. Spend some time down south and you'll emerge like a Spartan!
Replace cigarettes with other words, and your post becomes really funny.
I do not trust happy, smiling people.
They're either heavily medicated, a sociopath or having a stroke, none of which I really want to deal with.
OK, I'd call 911 for the stroke victim because my cold, black heart hasn't reached absolute zero yet.
ProTip: Bury them in a peat bog for a few months. That will preserve them better.
In related news, Adobe announced that the Iranian government has purchased several licenses of Photoshop CS6.
and replace them with others that (we hope) are more functional.
We do. The alpha sociopaths who dominate the power structure in this country are getting smarter and more successful every year.
Hope is not a strategy.

WTF?! Where did that come from?
(shakes head)
Geeks. What can ya do?
Still mainly a Safari (Mac) man myself, but I'm happy to see anything knock IE off its perch.
Well, no worries, then.
The California state government is already completely corrupt.
I *said* TBR.
Define foreseeable future. Please.
Well, you want the science answer or the woo answer or the pragmatic answer?
Science: about one quantum tick of the universe (TBR)
Woo: Madame Pinkie's prognostications are limited only by the imagination.
Pragmatic: in this particular case, a few months, give or take.
Face what?

The detection skill was a good idea, though.
I once worked with a guy named Zoltan. He insisted he was not an exiled king of Mars, but I was on to him!

Was that TARP money?
I said it could be just me.
I suppose I could play a game of M.U.L.E. if it was at hand.
15 years from now we'll have games and entertainment that will make us not care if some grotty old point and click thing still works.
But it could just be me, I admit. I never understood gaming nostalgia. I try and go retro once in a while. Lasts about a day or two.
Or maybe you are just utterly and completely wrong.
