I could never get into friends. Something about the idea that they lived in a version of NYC that only contained three or four black people was something I could never get past.

Just wait until they combine their efforts.

I learned to do this as a child because I always had issues with feelings of pressure in my ears. I was so sensitive that riding up or down a hill that was big enough would cause discomfort.

Nixon confessed and admitted that he was guilty. [Citation Needed] I have never seen or even heard of any such confession from Nixon.

Standing trial isn't a prerequisite for a pardon. Nixon never stood trial either.

Commuting Manning's sentence without pardoning Snowden feels like politics to me. Manning's actions embarrassed the Bush administration so Obama will commute. Snowden's actions embarrassed the Obama administration so Obama wo

As the son of a murder victim, 7 years is not enough for horrible, violent crimes.

Civil and mundane criminal uses were the goal from the beginning. "Terrorism" was just the tool they used to sell the masses on the idea.

Not only have I never heard of this, it doesn't make any sense to me. Unless you will be starting a new job in two weeks, why would you forgo 26 weeks of 50% of your income in exchange for 4-6 weeks of 100%. The math just doesn't

If you've been working and paying taxes for years when times were good, taking a little back in a time of need is not at all shameful. I am not sure if it works the same way in every state but in mine, we pay for Supplemental Unemploym

First thing's first. Sign up for unemployment benefits. I was laid off last April and my employer gave me a severance package in exchange for a similar confidentiality agreement. It took me several months but I was able to secure a new

I think it's a natural outgrowth of how so many people chose "1" when they were forced to add a number to their passwords.

It's not just automakers. I have seen things in heavy industry that not only push the envelope but could be called outright cheating.

I like being able to read while I soak in the tub. I'm not going to spend the kind of money that would be necessary to do that with an e-reader.

I completed an Information Security and Assurance MS at a different school and in retrospect, I wish I had done it online instead. I could have done it for 1/3-1/4 of the cost and in the same amount of time but with far less time

That's a good long term solution but when policies force you to change your password every 45 days, it falls apart. In my experience, overly restrictive password policies force users to choose passwords that are less secure and easier

It's one of those things that since it's always been this way, it'll take a really good reason to convince people to change it. I have never known an employer who wouldn't make accommodations for an employee to go vote.

In the USA, that seems to be the model at all levels of government.

Any benefit of re-using them is lost. Also if the company is growing, new ones get bought all the time, so old ones aren't re-used anyway. 5-10 years after the initial deployment, the same models are no longer available and the new c

You raise a valid point. I just looked at my local code book of ordinances and they do cover a lot, including the number of parking spaces by square footage. In my experience, in a smaller town, these things are primarily used as a weapon t

You are absolutely right about that, I also would never buy a home in a community with a HOA.

This desire of urban planners to regulate virtually every aspect of city life is precisely why I live in the suburbs. I like to remind budding conservatives and libertarians that the free market is an ideal, not a mandate. The situation you

As I remember it, something like 80% of people who we identify as African Americans(or black) have significant amounts of European ancestry. Outside of Africa, that's probably to be expected. I too am "black", with two "

A big part of diesel's fuel efficiency advantage is caused by the emissions controls on gasoline powered vehicles. Vehicles from the early 70s often had similar gas mileage to smaller lighter vehicles from the late 90s-early 2000s but

Thank you for this. I hadn't thought to look but many of these look promising.

I don't know if it's a taxation or regulatory thing but replacing a catalytic converter isn't particularly expensive on the US. My vehicle has three of them. One is extremely easy to access, one is a bit more difficult to acc

In that case, I'd rather see the rules eased for everyone. It's absolutely absurd that it costs over $400,000 for a cab medallion in NYC.

For me, it's when I'm fatigued and early in the morning. How nice would it be to get 15 minutes to drink some coffee and wake up or relax before getting back to the drive?

They shouldn't want to. They only want the data to see if more money can wrung from the service or its customers.
