I think I made some of that with the burrito I ate last night.

Well Denmark does seem to have one of the best uses for oil so why not.

Sounds to me like they all got paid the exact same amount given standard Hollywood accounting.

Remind me to never buy a car that was owned by someone in LA. That kind of drive is just murder on cars, they don't ever come up to proper operating temperature and people just rid the brakes. A car like an M3 is meant to be driven and driven hard but most people just baby them, I wish I could afford one and would consider just debadging it as most people wouldn't know it was an M3 and just assume it was a regular 3 series.

Hey there were some lazy girls in gym class that couldn't manage to walk 1 mile in 40 minutes.

Sounds like you have way to nice of a truck, my Jeep is old and beat up so I just don't care and will take their speed bumps at the speed limit. I also like their traffic calming traffic circles which make for a nice little circle track for my car. Although out in the suburbs you still get people on their own traffic crusade. Like the one family in the new development in my neighborhood who puts one of these in the middle of the fucking street, or at least they did until I ran it over with my jeep. By the middle of the street I don't mean off on the side, in the gutter, or on the grass boulevard, I mean lets put in right smack in the middle so it is an impediment to traffic taking up ~4 feet. It isn't like it was just out there one time, it was always out there and if the mother thought you were driving too fast would yell at you to slow down because 20-25 mph in a 30 mph residential area is too fast in her mind. Then again this is the newer development and they do have a HOA so it wouldn't surprise me if this person was one of the decision makers and likes having power.

I wouldn't mind taking the bus if it didn't triple my trip time to and from work and require 3 bus changes with a fair amount of walking and waiting outside, no thanks. I can spend between 30 and 40 minutes driving to and from work and not have to worry about what time I arrive and leave or I can catch the first bus leaving my city go to work and then catch the last bus leaving from near my work and hope there isn't problems as there are still 2 more I have to take to get home.

I also don't get why metro transit won't make a reasonable bus plan like having a set of buses that just run around the 494/694 loop and back and forth across 35E/W, 94, 100, 168, 61, 52, 552, and 77. These are the major highways in the Twin Cities and unless you are heading into downtown it is a bitch to use. Instead we are pissing money away on silly little trains. Have these busses only stop at major transit centers at the end of the routs or where highways cross so people can change buses. Additionally have the local city buses also stop at these transit centers and the system would become mostly useable but no one seems to want to do that.

As far as why buses aren't free, it seems to me that it was a compromise between those who think they shouldn't be subsidized at all and those who think they should be free. Also by having a nominal cost for public transit it was initially thought it would keep the vagrants out, which in my experience is not the case. Personally I am of the mind set that it should either be entirely government subsidized or completely paid by the riders but not the mushy middle where it is heavily subsidized but people still have to pay that so often happens with government programs.

Not true, there was the conflict between Russian and Georgia as well as the Israel and Lebanon conflict in 2006 all of whom had McDonalds at the time of fighting. Also in doing some digging it appears that there was the NATO bombing of Serbia (sure seems like war) that happened shortly after the book with that statement was published.

You are forgetting that this is Australia where firearm ownership is more heavily regulated than it is in the US. This likely isn't a pump action or semi auto shotgun so would likely be a breach loading one (single or double barreled) or bolt action. A bolt action one might have a capacity of 4.

In this case it sounds like it was being auto uploaded so while they destroyed the camera and local recording there still exist a copy, so yes.

That one probably did actually have something in it other than water, but probably less than regular tap water. It is the ones that are diluted by 10^200 or other silly numbers that statically have nothing in them as you would have a better chance of picking one atom in the universe at random putting it back and picking another one at random and having it be the same atom both times.

Usually they are called a property tax levy. Here in Minnesota each school district can put a new tax levy on the ballot or put a renewal of an existing but about to expire one on the ballot for voters to approve. If it is approved then an additional amount is levied against their property tax. Additionally there is the money that comes from the state and federal government but that is just what ever is approved by the legislature and signed by the Governor. For an example here is the property tax statement for some random house (not mine or even close) in the city I live in that shows about $1400 in property tax was paid to the local school district.

Done.

All too often that is the case but there is always pursuing a deprivation of rights under color law case on your own which doesn't protect the individual officer with qualified immunity.
