I'm still trying to figure out how it's "unfair" to shift the costs to those who are consuming more from the grid rather than pushing power onto it. The synopsis above seems to imply that somehow people producing their own power owe the utility money for that privilege?

I spent two years at a private university and left with a general education associates degree and thousands of dollars in debt. Yet I had a full-tuition scholarship. Why did I leave?

Free school is great, if you can afford it. Despite the free tuition, the cost of books, housing, food, the mandatory health insurance plan, and all the other expenses and fees involved, the tuition was the smallest piece of the pie.

I stopped answering calls from unknown numbers years ago unless I have a pretty good idea where it's coming from. The only way for a telemarketer to get in edgewise is to call from the city in which I am wandering around Costco waiting for my tyres to get rotated. Even then, I generally will let it go to voicemail.

Any unknown number is later looked up on 800notes and/or mrnumber's website and blocked if it has any spam reports. Gotta love blacklist apps.

It's been fiction for years. In fact, if we had the same security we have today, 9/11 would have still happened with almost nothing different about their tactics.

There's really no good reason for the US to allow this. But it raises an interesting question about US outposts abroad to admit to that, doesn't it?

If the founders had foreseen this kind of abuse of position by the government, we'd have a constitution with specific language prohibiting these secret warrants and the secret courts that issued them.

Then again, FWIW, the Founders went to war over levies much smaller than what we see today.

The thing is, no self-respecting terrorist would blow up a domestic flight in the first place. Instead, they'd blow up the TSA checkpoint, making people terrified to enter into those close-quarters lines with nowhere to go if they suspect someone but still want to make their flight.

Not good enough. Not with how they've conducted themselves with the drone program in general.

Yes, but the matter being specific to the food industry was not something Mr. Upton was intending to imply.

That may be. But my assertion is dependent upon the price tags likely for Tesla's vehicles.

I don't really care whether they get trained or not. I oppose our drone programme.

That's a preposterous assertion, and is actually contrary to Mormon doctrine.

Actually I largely agree with the need to improve working conditions at the turn of the 20th century. However, the specific incidents used were not necessarily true to reality, and Sinclair was intending a broader commentary on working conditions as a whole. That a dim view of processed food was what people took away from his work was a source of ire to Mr. Sinclair.

That's why I always reinstall the OS first thing. Gets rid of manufacturer garbage, trial antivurus that leaves traces of itself, and a bizarre amount of bloat that seems to have come from nothing.

I agree, but in particular, the frequent updates issue increases my odds of an uninstall because I notice a program updating that I don't use. If it's dormant, I may never notice.
