I can't imagine how Facebook could be more diverse. You want to be part of a Gay White Nationalist organization? You can find it on Facebook. You want to be part of an Orthodox Christian group of amputee WoW players? It's there. I don't care if you're Tea Party or People's Liberation Front of Judea, you can find your group and have your news curated to reflect your very unique and special snowflake worldview.
And if there isn't a group for you, nothing's going to stop you unless you happen to be looking for child porn or fellow terrorists, in which case you go to 8chan.
So don't complain to me about some "now trending" box on your Facebook page. Go get the F.B. Purity extension and you can get rid of that. If you expect to have perfectly neutral views spoon fed to you from a multinational corporation, then you're too stupid to handle the news. You want news that reflects your worldview? Help yourself. It's all there, you pitiful piss-baby.
And the reason, of course, is because a private road has a requirement that a public road doesn't: to pay for itself 100% (vs. less than half [uspirg.org]) through user fees.
The amount of commerce and economic activity an interstate highway system creates more than covers the other half.
How do you think your box of Fruity Pebbles got to the grocery store? Drivers aren't the only ones getting value from roads.
About 40 miles of that trip was on a not-inexpensive toll road, and yes it is privately administered, though in partnership with local counties.
Those 40 miles of toll road? Built, owned and administered by the Federal government. The money from those tolls goes to the Federal government, not to the private company that runs the toll booths.
The interstate highway system was built by the United States Government. It is funded mainly through taxes. And it's a primary driver of the US economy.
The vast majority of people in the US, regardless of political stripe, have no interest in the VA playing games with secret waiting lists, and letting people die out of sheer laziness and cheap corruption.
The VA has been in decline since Ronald Reagan was president. People say they want vets taken care of, until they find out they'd have to pay for it.
And they don't want to pay for it because very nearly 100% of the vets alive today became vets by fighting in wars that had absolutely nothing to do with "Protecting Our Freedoms" or "National Defense".
No sir. Americans really don't care about veterans unless they're marching in some pageant or showing up at the national anthem at the baseball game.
I just drove 175 miles on interstate highway and bridges this week, and it was miserable:
Then you should have taken the private roads instead.
Oh, I'm sorry, the private roads don't exist. At a certain scale, government is the best, most efficient and least corrupt option. Telecommunications may be one of those.
Health care is also one of those things, given the experience of most of the developed world. I'm surprised that you believe that private insurance could do a better job than the VA. That is, if you could even find a private insurer to write policies for such a high-risk community, which you can't because it would be a huge money-loser. Face it: our society is not really enthusiastic about taking care of veterans' health care needs in a first-class way for the rest of their lives. We love our wars, but except for the decades immediately after WWII, we do not love our veterans, at least not the living ones.
However, in the US, we just adore our war dead, because they don't cost much. This weekend will be a veritable orgy for the war dead.
You're mostly correct, but there are many species that have existed since the Jurassic and before, e.g. coelacanath, sturgeon, horseshoe crab, and some jellyfish.
So, if you're one of those species, climate change is a big win!
It's been tried. The only kind of signatures currently allowed for ballot access are the old-fashioned kind that you write with a pen on paper.
Except in Utah, where along with signatures, local officials will accept an "X", as well as road kill (as long as it's fresh). In Utah, they are trying electronic signatures, but to be fair Utah really doesn't matter.

Welcome to the world.
Fortunately, it's a diverse enough world, so you can make your own way and choose your own community or choose to move to another.

The question wasn't "can it be done". The question was, "how many times can it be done".
Right now, it cannot be done. So the answer to "how many times can it be done" is zero.
He said, on the Internet.
Since they have yet to re-use a first stage, the answer to that is it cannot be refurbished and reused at all.

Will someone please explain to this moron why they use rats for "this sort of thing"? I'm afraid I'll start cursing if I have to do it.
Dumb fuck, the PDF was a pre-print. What do you not understand about "partial findings"? See, now you made me curse. Goddamit.
It's almost as bad as Anonymous Coward's commenting on science.
Maybe Dear Leader is just a little lonely. Maybe he joined Facebook and nobody wanted to friend him.

Yeah, I must be thinking of Portland.
I thought Seattle didn't have good broadband. Am I thinking of Portland?
You're silly. Just drove the interstate from Connecticut to Houston. It's magnificent.
I get that you're anti-government, but I can't imagine they'd do much worse by their customers than the big telecoms.
The threshold for local elections is much lower. Also, don't assume the candidate is as lazy as you just because he's an extraterrestrial.
That's funny.
So, if you're one of those species, climate change is a big win!

You've made your point on that count.
You have to get on the ballot to get public funds. How are you going to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot from your back yard?
Let's start there. Once you crack that code, get back to me and we'll move on to the next point.
Online signatures are not valid for the purpose of getting on a ballot. Online petitions are not valid for the purpose of getting on a ballot.
I've done that myself a few times after being over-served.
I live to serve.

Answer the question. Do you believe that's a living human being and deserves the same rights as other human beings?
Do you believe this is a human being? Does it look like a human being to you?
