So ... that'll be one camping pass ... and one hunting/fishing permit, unless you plan to eat only plants, then you'll run afoul of the regulations on havesting plants, which are protected, on public lands.

Well, I'm a hunter, and back home in Pennsylvania, one needs not an extra permit to hunt on state game land, just the $20 or so license. Even without that, you can hunt and eat nuisance animals (coyote, crows, starlings, perhaps bobcats) on any day of the week, without limit, even Sunday when no other hunting is permitted. A license to fish is only required for public waters, and only if you're over, IIRC, 16.

The last state I lived in never handed you the form ahead of time. Arizona does, but it's certainly not sufficient to keep you occupied. They should give you a crossword, too.

They don't need to puff. My buddy has a bulldog that is downright vicious if you light a cigarette near him and refuse to blow a little smoke in his face. Why? When my buddy was at work during the day, the bulldog would eat butts out of the ashtray, and this went on for some time before anyone figured it out. Goofy friggin' dog, that's for sure.

That's a whole 'nother level of Rube Goldberg there going to a japanese search engine to just type in the URL. At that point, one would wonder if the user even examines the screen while navigating.

I was told in some training in undergrad that the reason is that women have to deal with more, well, trauma than men do, leading to microabrasions. Now, I don't know if HPV can be passed from blemish-free skin-to-skin contact, but if it's like most STDs and requires some sort of fluid contact, a woman has a higher likelihood of having such contact than a man. So, we get off a little lucky in the evolutionary department, and so does the STD - I'm sure not going to pop out a free host in 9 months.

It is, but it isn't the rule here.

I have a 2000 Jetta, VR6 standard. I can start it just fine in gear, it will happily smash its front end into a wall.
My girlfriend has a 2003 Jetta, 2.0L I4 standard. It will not start without the clutch fully depressed to the floor.

My car is the only car I've ever seen do it, but I've seen plenty of 4x4's that do it, too.

Seconded. If you have to use your emergency/parking brake to drive, you're doing it wrong. Even on the steepest of inclines, it's a rarity that I'd roll back more than 4 inches.

They even graciously told him, 'If you miss your flight, I'll be my fault.'

West Virginia has customs now?

Lol. I have a social work degree, and that woman is an idiot. Who the hell do you think is going to PAY you to support hairy clams?

Look, buddy, you're just wrong. The fourth amendment says that nobody will be deprived of their property unreasonably. Where in that amendment does it say that a warrant is a requirement? Between the first and second clauses, there's a comma and the word and. There's no way to fit your extra words in ther. Where do the Federalist papers talk about it? Where does it say "A search is reasonable ONLY when there is a warrant." Where does it even say that probable cause is reasonable?

You can do your research (or ask a lawyer!), or you can plug your ears and act as if you knew the intent of the Framers. Article III, Section 1 says "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court[.]" Let them do the judging, OK? I'm going to take back my offer of a reasonable discussion, because clearly, you have no idea how criminal procedure works. Did you notice the 4th Amendment applies equally to people and things? So if a cop sees someone murder another in cold blood, they should have to run down to the courthouse, swear out an affidavit, and get a warrant before they arrest someone? Kafka would have a field day.

That states the requirements for warrants. It's meant to prevent general warrants, where English tax collectors would get a warrant to search through and seize ALL of your belongings to find evidence of wrongdoing. Warrants require probable cause, searches do not. Warrants are not always required (see, among others, consent and plain/open view searches).

Shoot me an email if you'd like to know more.

Fuck man, now i'm not going to do a damn THING tonight thanks to TVTropes.

No, there's a comma between those clauses. Warrants shall only be issued under probable cause, not searches. You don't always need a warrant.

You can tip the cleaning lady and have it affect your customs experience?

That's AWESOME! Why is bribery illegal?!

We do have GSM. When I was a kid, I had a prepaid with Immix Wireless, they run a GSM network. I now use AT&T, also GSM, and the network is indeed fully interoperable. I've stepped on a plane on the East Coast and landed in Europe, and received text messages sent while I was in the air and my phone was off. In fact, the phone itself needed no adjustments to pick up data service.

While they're not required to unlock, AT&T is usually quite happy to give you the unlock code if you're going overseas. In fact, you can even tell them, "Well, you're just too expensive. I want to be able to buy a prepaid SIM." Unless it's an iPhone, you'll be given the code right then and there. I think the RDF keeps them from giving out unlock codes for iPhones.
