It's not like it needs a solid fix though. It just needs a single satellite signal to get through, which is way more reasonable.

Yeah, but it's never "Paid for by Oil Companies Trying to Pollute the Environment". It's always some meaningless name that serves the underlying cause, like "Paid for by Citizens Concerned About Jobs"

I was at ask.com during the crash. The first bad part for me was the options. I planned on selling them the instant they vested. A week before vesting they were trading in the low hundred dollar range. The day they vested they were in the d

I've used Airbnb's while driving cross-country in order to get access to a dryer outlet to charge an EV. We recently visited people in Lawton, OK. The nearest superchargers are in Oklahoma City, OK (79 mi North-East) and Ardmore,

Wouldn't taxes be able to come down by a commensurate amount? Isn't fossil fuel subsidies just a way to spread the cost from those who consume the fuel (directly or indirectly) to those who don't?

It's worth checking one in with your luggage, because it requires a real, non-TSA lock. TSA isn't allowed to open it. And if they can't open it, your expensive property can't "accidentally fall out".

We use these at my wife's office, plus the corner pieces. We put them all on legs with wheels and stuck dual lock on the corners. Now she has desks that can be drug around and reconfigured for a pittance.

The backend of this isn't any better. They've been outsourcing significant amounts of this to secondary companies (e.g. Easter Seals, BHPN), which then outsource the work to smaller agencies. This turns into the smaller agencies f

Yup. I went to a Catholic high school, despite my family being basically non-practicing Presbyterians. And in an area with a ton of private schools. At the time public schools were a road to nowhere, and private schools were easily $20,000
