You can easily extend that across the river to Arlington, VA. There's extensive public transportation. Cycling is taken seriously. Maybe the City of Alexandria, too; but, not the "Alexandria" part of Fairfax.

Look for an estate sale. (Not an auction.) When my mother passed away, we had a firm come in and handle the estate sale. They priced the Persian rug that she had gotten from her mother at $400-$500. My sister did not want to sell it and too

I think it depends on the situation. Perhaps in a true fast-food restaurant, like McDonald's, it might not be quicker. On Wednesday, I stopped at a Sheetz -- a chain of gas stations/convenience stores in the U.S. -- where I ordere

Obscenity laws make filming pornography illegal in most states. It's legal in California due to California v. Freeman, back in the late 1980's. (Basically, hiring adult actors for a film was not considered pimping.) It's lega

There needs to be some sort of combination between subscriptions and "pay as you go." I pay for The Washington Post, since I tend to read it almost every day. I won't pay $4/month for Wired, since I'm not a regular

Yes, it's voluntary. If they had a warrant, it would not be "voluntary." I can imagine businesses telling them to come back with a warrant. When asked, in court, they installed the camera, they can answer "because we had

The biggest problem might be the lack of a "prisoner system in the US." The US has a Federal prisons system and 50 different state prison systems. Each system makes their own rules. Federal prisoners may have access to send and re

But if you were born before 1998 (1999?), it's not necessarily easily reverse engineer-able. You need to know where someone lived when they first got a job. I've gotten into many arguments that given the first five digits of my SS

In most places I'm familiar with, when you are riding on the road, you're a vehicle. That means riding with traffic. (How do you ride against traffic if you're "taking the lane"?)

I haven't seen this behavior with cars; but, as a cyclist, I use them to figure out if I can make it through an upcoming intersection or not. What's annoying is the lack of a standard action when the countdown timer reaches zero.

That's true, but Uber/Lyft is not sharing a car -- you're being paid to take someone from point A to point B. You're not letting them take your car, use it, and then bring it back.
