The house I grew up, in a rural area, there's a small restaurant we would frequently get food from less than 2,000 ft away. We would have to drive to pick up because it was unsafe to walk there. Busy two lane road with drainage ditches

They're one of the few (possibly only) airlines that still has grievance fares. Unfortunately, it's only 10% off. I try and fly Delta and American when possible. Delta also seems to be a good company to work for from what a friend

Going to enjoy looking at the labels on the bottles next time my friends buy a "Mexican" coke instead of a "US" on.

I can't believe my tax dollars would be used for such an expensive thing! At least go to the lowest bidder and get MadCatz ones!

Great points about the searchability and content. And they have a ton of content, mostly in the form of terrible movies. Instantwatcher lists, for Prime, 5,438 matches for TV shows and 33,655 movies. Why do I use Instantwatcher to find cont

We had something similar at my last company, though teams were split up. 7-8 people to a room, open ceilings, open, large doorway, but with walls all the way up to the ceiling. There was one very large with room with an open floor plan and

Like in my neighborhood where Spectrum and AT&T are the only choices, w/ Spectrum being majority. I called to see if they had any packages cheaper than what I was grandfathered in under after the Time Warner merger. They said no, S

Very true. I'm just here to spy on what the well-to-do and techno-utopianists are up to and want to inflict on the rest of us in the future. ;-)

That really sucks but I've heard points to one of the issues of why we can't have high-speed rail in the US (outside of politics): freight always gets the right-of-way. I guess in LA we're somewhat lucky that Metro can pretty

Out of curiosity, what has Amazon actually "invested" in the community?

Wow, I thought the timelines in LA were crazy. Isn't Boulder only 20-25 miles from downtown Denver?

>in a democratic republic with an elected representative government, it's pretty weird to treat the feds as a hostile occupying power. But that's exactly our ethos and, I think, our major problem. We believe the gov't does

That probably excludes anywhere outside of the NE or West Coast. Even then, the metro areas are blue, rest of the states are red, like everywhere else in the country.

This is exactly what I've been saying about tax breaks people want for the film industry here in LA so they can compete w/ Atlanta and other places in the US when really they need to be competing on a national basis, if these bene

Funny, that's what an Afghani co-worker and I talked about during the last election cycle. We just obfuscate things with lawyers.

Exactly this. The more you learn about the faking, the more suspect legit owners become and then it becomes a hassle. I find it mildly annoying to see dogs in restaurants and grocery stores, even more so in the work place, but I've hea

It's not a big deal. From all I've heard from sources, they've been suffering in my absence. Also, as a straight, white male in his 30s, I can't really be discriminated against on the grounds you state. Not to mention, I
