The city has no power or authority to levy taxes on county residents. The county could do this, but elected not to.

So I think we agree that rural Tennessee's moronic politicians and their brainwashed constituents have elected not to provide for a fire department. Because, taxes.
This is not about expectations of firefighters working for free, nor about cops.
In most civilized locales, firefighters (and cops) are paid through public funds obtained via taxes.
In rural Tennessee, it appears that the fire department is paid via individual homeowner "subscriptions", literally. If you don't subscribe then they will let your home and your pets (maybe your kids too, I don't know) burn. In fact it's not the firefighters who decided that, it was the pea-brained politicians and --, probably by the power of suggestion -- their constituents, who decided that. "No more taxes", yeah!
In future retrospect, blood transfusions carry various risks, and doing massive numbers of blood transfusions is probably going to kill him faster than old age.
Not if he raises his donors from birth and keeps them in a state of perfect health while judiciously harvesting their young blood.
I'm guessing that they may be there to allow "picturephone" type phone calls in the future.
Also, there's a dedicated "911" button and a photo of the caller can sometimes help (I'm thinking of the times that EMS pulled up and asked if I called them because it wasn't obvious where the sick person was and they needed to locate them).
OK, so then why are they doing that now for the remaining 50% of their US workforce? What you say suggests that they would benefit even more right now from moving everything offshore.
He's supposed to get a job with the Russian security service and leak their secrets to the world. What else would you expect from someone of his caliber?
Todd Simmons, a spokesman for Oregon State University, said Mohamud graduated from high school in Portland and began attending the university as a non-degree student last fall. He has not been enrolled since Oct. 6.
Mohamud told the FBI that he became radicalized at age 15 and had been thinking about violent jihad ever since, documents said. According to the affidavit, he began taking action last year when he exchanged e-mails with a co-conspirator who had terrorist ties and was in Pakistan's northwest province, a haven for radical groups. An FBI undercover operative sent Mohamud an e-mail in June saying he was an associate of that co-conspirator.
An elaborate set of encounters ensued, in which Mohamud met with two FBI operatives. At the first meeting in Portland, in July, Mohamud said he wanted to carry out an "explosion" but needed help, court papers said.
At a second meeting, in August, he identified the square as a target, the documents said. Over the past three months, Mohamud worked closely with the operatives and gave them a thumb drive with detailed instructions for the attack, officials said.
On Nov. 4, Mohamud and his FBI collaborators detonated a bomb concealed in a backpack in a remote Oregon location as a trial run. That same day, he recorded a video, wearing a white robe and white and red headdress, in which he offered his rationale for the attack, court documents said. "Explode on these (infidels),'' he concluded, according to the documents. "Alleviate our pain.''
If you search for "bed bands" on Amazon there are (at the moment) 333 results returned with the trademarked (?) "Bed Band" brand at the top of the list.
In general I find this a problem with Amazon searches -- even if I provide a specific model number for something they return a shitload of "similar" and not-so-similar stuff with nothing to indicate that one of them is the exact match. Sometimes there is no exact match and they just return a bunch of stuff that maybe I'll buy instead anyhow.
This is also the case with NewEgg; I was bitten by that after searching for an exact model number, getting a single product returned, and buying it without realizing that they just matched me with something similar but different. In that case it was too different for my application. The joke was on me.
It sounds like "Autopilot" is a very useful feature, and one has to pay attention only when there's a giant trailer blocking the road in front of you. Otherwise, smooth sailing.

I think that dd is sufficient for most cases.
Dear Friend,

NASA tried but could never get the CGI video to look right. This was before George Lucas.
So in the end they had to admit defeat and instead send Armstrong, Aldin, And Collins to the moon in the Apollo 11 craft.
Sad but true.
I thought that the parent post was intended as sarcasm. Poe's Law. He left out the "/s".
I think you maybe misunderstand exactly what this device is used for?

For those here who missed the news a few years ago, here's how things work in some parts of the US:

It was a rhetorical question (more intended as a statement of what I've observed), but thank you for your detailed and informative reply.
#5 is a serious problem in the US. We had a chance at #6 but our insurance industry lobby murdered it.
Why is it that Canada, just north of the US, always seems so rational?

Why would you care if a homeless person is sitting at the thing if you want to connect via wifi?

I take it that you are not from Georgia.
