There's also the problem with "The case, Rodriguez v. United States, 13-9972,".
It should be changed to a parenthetical to become "The case (Rodriguez v. United States, 13-9972)", or have some additional language added to make it an actual fucking sentence and not an odd trailing of items with ambiguous comma separations.

5% of the fuel cost? Maybe if it's an express route with no stops (which will never happen - every town you want to build through or near demands a stop).
No security theater? You wish. The TSA would descend upon it faster than flies on shit.
You still need to get to the train station just as you need to get to the airport. If train stations are more common than airports then you're going to be subjected to stop after stop on your journey. If they're as or less common then it's the same problem as getting to an airport.

If there are any Grammar 'experts' out there, could someone tell me if the following sentence is incorrect or correct?

The case, Rodriguez v. United States, 13-9972, all started with Rodriguez was stopped in Nebraska for driving out of his lane.

"all" should be removed.
I'd change "driving out of his lane" to "driving outside his lane", but it's not necessarily wrong.

Stop calling these things "gumstick". It's not going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen. They're considerably larger than a stick of gum, are not chewy or delicious, and you're a piece of shit for trying to make that term stick.
Further, who cares? 1.4 GB/sec is nothing noteworthy. This is a /vertisement through and through.

It is. It takes an explicit effort to remove something from the contract when you're parceling out jobs to subcontractors. It takes explicit effort to remove a major component of the design in your diagrams, models, and plans. It takes an explicit effort to have no one on the staff say anything when it's blindly fucking obvious that thing your building is structurally unsound.

No they aren't. They feds came down on him recently and couldn't do shit because there is evidence that the supplements he peddles are beneficial as he claims.

Flavor of the month shit at GMC or Trader Joes's or ground up rhino dick are quackery.
Actual supplements from reputable sources (so you actually get the supplements you buy) are widely recognized as being beneficial, to the point of us adding them straight to our fucking food so people don't die of iron and iodine deficiency (see table salt, enriched bread, fortified milk etc.). Doctor's prescribe supplements all the fucking time.

Not added to Android, but Google's fleg of "services" and "apps".
Besides, the Samsung Note line has had handwriting recognition (in the note taking app and in the keyboard) for ages, and it works really fucking well.
