Imagine I show up at your house and tell you I'm going to dig an 8' deep trench across your yard for Fiber. What are you going to do? And your neighbor?
What I'm going to do is invite you to connect it to my home while you're at it.
What my neighbors do is a different story entirely.
Quite true. Under US law, "WMD" includes any rifle with a bore larger than 0.50", and anything explosive for use against persons or property, including hand grenades. So of course Saddam's army had WMDs.
You're conflating terms. Those are considered "Destructive Devices", a legal term of art having nothing to do with Weapons of Mass Destruction, a politcal term of art.
And neither does a mileage based tax! What a coincidence! No one is required to report their mileage for taxes, and there's no infrastructure to handle the case where someone drives outside of the state.
You're apparently unfamiliar with the logistics and politics surrounding the particular crossing that I spoke of.
No politician, sane or not, would propose putting even a voluntary border stop at that particular crossing without also solving the current congestion issues in the area - which requires replacing the bridge, and that is currently DOA because of the politics involved.
If you want to see a border checkpoint, drive farther south to California where you'll see agricultural check stations.
I'm well aware of the border stops in California for the purpose of enforcing California laws. Know of any operated by Oregon? Or operated by anyone else for the purpose of enforcing Oregon law?
What if I take my car and drive across the country and back?
You stop at the border inspection station [...]
I'm sorry, you stop at the what?
I cross the Oregon-Washington border at least twice every weekday, and I can assure you that no such thing exists on that particular border crossing - or any other within the state of Oregon, for that matter.
You can have me in the office at the crack of 10:30. Don't expect any meaningful work before.. oops, lunchtime! Off to the pub for my daily four beer lunch. Toodles!
Where were we then? Oh yesh. I don't want to get a DUII on my way home, so I'll be napping under my desk until 6.
You’d be better off trying to find some pre-cooked or raw-consumable, shelf-stable (no refrigeration required) protein, but I’m honestly at a loss to name any complete proteins that fit those requirements that are cheaper than a McWhatever...
Spam. Around here, about $3 for a 12 oz can - over a thousand calories of protein and fat.

Another idiot who didn't read TFA or TFS. Par for the course, this is Slashdot after all.
Due to the crapware that the JRE wants to install - will Google block Oracle? Let's hope so.
"They" might, but I won't. The last EA game I bought was BF2.
Wait!? That was a password?
The pharmacy figured that scribble was a prescription and they've been having me stuff strange suppositories up my ass for weeks.
I hate to break it to you, but those aren't suppositories. Around here, we call them "crutches".

In many states you can legally shoot someone if they are on your property
That is grossly oversimplifying the law to the point where this statement is completely and utterly false.
First I recall was "Alkalabeth: World of Doom!" circa 1979, by Lord British (yep, the same one of Ultima fame).
Yeah, it would not be recognized as a FPS, but it had elements of the genre. Written in Applesoft BASIC.

You know, I thought the same thing, but look at it another way: Allow them to implement the law like that, and Portland gets stuck with the tab.
I can live with that.
You just can't fire people for no reason
I can assure you that where I happen to live, that is absolutely false.
She chewed through the duct tape, duh.
The DOJ can go pound sand, as far as I'm concerned.

Fired? What do you mean, "You're fired"?
So tell me, Timmy, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Let us never confuse creating value with capturing value; somehow we have to get them better aligned.
Do we?
Because you know, I was under the impression that not everybody measured value and success by the fatness of one's wallet.
Indeed - we could hang the perpetuators of every overused meme on Slashdot at once!

Even cheaper, you can easily make a burner out of an empty alumninum soda can that burns rubbing alcohol for fuel.
You're joking, right?

Newsflash - they did. By licensing it to someone who DID have the capability to produce it.
I've always been amazed that employers would fire employees for violating secret policies.
Have whatever acceptable use policy you want. It's your business, and your right.
Keeping that policy secret, and firing people for violating it is the asshattery that I was referring to.
Yo dawg, we heard you like feedback...
