No because this is a professional team that is wearing Polo shirts with the mission patch instead of being attention seekers. They realize they represent thousands of people that dedicated a decade of their lives to make this work.
The reason jaywalking is illegal is because it is dangerous. Your death is the result of your action not a penalty.
How else was she supposed to get bribes from all of those Third world nations with a normal spam filter?
It actually a very clever strategy similar to an angler fish. You have this distracting thing staring your right in the face so you can't pay attention to what is really going on. It's an old sales tactic that works.
And who is doing the enforcing?
Good idea. This was pre internet so we just wrote AS-IS on the Title near the sales price.
I had a POS 92 Sunbird with 60k miles that ran like crap. I sold it to a guy for about $500 telling him honestly there is something wrong and he drove it and said he could fix it. 2 weeks later he calls bitching because he blew up the engine. I told him sorry but it was sold as is. Threatened to sue me but never did.
Old cars breaks. If you want something that lasts forever too bad.
There are new processes that burn fissile fuels in supercritical CO2 that is enriched with O2. This allows high efficiencies and allows you to capture the CO2 easily.
Without the industrial revolution CO2 may have continued its decline and eventually become too low to support life. 150ppm seems about the range where some plants start dying. We got to 180 ppm. Digging up an burning coal helped raise this amount back to a sustainable level.
Get an old enough car and get classic plates and registration cheap.
But a couple of junk cars and park them on opposite sides of the street in the middle of the block. That will cause traffic to come to a stop if there is anything above a normal amount of traffic.
I had that option on. But when you are away it shuts it all down.
I live in Florida so I liked the idea of a learning thermostat to save some money. Instead what I figured out (and should have known ahead of time) is that it is just better to keep the setpoint constant. Sure I saved $10/mo but the house was always muggy and uncomfortable. Part of the reason is I have a high efficiency A/C so when I keep the setpoint constant it just runs the low speed compressor and fan and keeps the house cool and dry. When the nest shut everything down to save energy when we returned it had to kick on the high speed to get back to temperature. I'd gladly pay $10/mo for a comfortable house and less wear and tear on my $10k A/C unit.
Still waiting on that one.
I'll explain. It would be nearly impossible in the current economic climate to make these products in the US because customers will shop based on price and if they are made here they won't sell. So the choice is to make them overseas or don't make them at all.
The protectionist argument is if you make the tariffs high enough then at some point it is cheaper to make those items in your country as opposed to overseas. But at least your people are working and aren't on welfare. The problem is you are now paying tariffs and more money for the items.
This is the problem with trying to centrally plan an economy.
