There's a lot of Amazon warehouses now, and Amazon is smart enough to keep items in stock nearby people that have the buttons for the items. Very few people are going to have to have these shipped hundreds of miles.

And for me this would be more convenient for forgetfulness (I walk out of the laundry room, that whole walking-through-doors-makes-you-forget thing kicks in, and I forget to put laundry detergent on the grocery list) and back issues (I tend to buy in bulk, but I have back issues, and can't actually lift a lot of the things myself; buying things from Amazon means I don't have to drive 45 minutes in the opposite direction of the store to pick up my brother to help me, and then take him home). So for me this reduces CO2, because I'm not making an extra trip to the grocery store nor two extra to my brother's house.

You have those in your hand while opening food?

You might be in the minority that decides to not buy toilet paper because the price went up.

Are they going to wait for the 10 harddrives I'm going to need to get here first?

And I'll keep buying them because online games is how I get my social interaction.

Uh, no. If the revenue stream of fines is taken away, they will need to take more taxes. Which I will have to pay.

What? This is about protecting OTHERS from the stupidity of drinking and driving.

I'm not talking about dying. Why is my property (my car) and my health (minor injuries) worth the risk of allowing you to drink more and drive?

Better they make their money that way than busting non-driving pot smokers/carriers imo.

Because you are still affecting people. If you get into an accident that wrecks a car but harms no humans, then how is the owner of the car going to get to work to feed his family? To the grocery store? If I get into a car accident that breaks my arm (minor injury) I will be unable to work until that heals; how am I going to pay my bills?

I'm not saying make a world that is "100% safe for children" (that would would NOT be suitable for even children, but I won't digress), but the ability to drink and drive is not worth the risk of hurting someone or wrecking their car in my book.

Or you could, you know, go over to the guy and politely say "Hey my son is severely allergic, could you have your kid wash his hands after eating that please?"

"Nearly died" is quite different than "died" though. In the US we have ambulances and Epipens. If your throat closes up you not only feel like you're dying, you nearly died.

What??? Multiple doctors said this? Wtf. Those aren't even the symptoms of lactose intolerance and stopping breastfeeding is actually a horrible reaction to lactose intolerance.

He has the mind of a child, yet has a family and a stable job. That's winning in my book.

What ereader prevents you from doing these things? Kindles have the ability to do this easily, and even has built-in things to share them online. You have to opt-in to it revealing your location. And not all the books have DRM (which is on the books, not the readers) - in fact, the DRM on ebooks is decided by the publishers, not the ereader companies.
