Bomb squads don't "investigate" items that might be bombs. They safely dispose of them. Are you seriously going to value a $30 pressure cooker over someone's life? If the authorities were wrong they should (and usually do, FYI) reimburse the property owner. No piece of property is worth taking a chance on someone's life.
No way, man. He can only afford a new iPhone every other year! That's bordering the poverty line.
In reality, it's even worse, as requiring the telecoms to keep this data guarantees that the telecoms will use that data -- so the end result is an expansion of the the amount of spying that is being inflicted on us.
Exactly this. Government spying on its citizens is bad, don't get me wrong. However, there are remedies for this. It isn't easy, but you CAN vote out the current government and vote in people who will end the spying. Again, it's not easy and it might take time, but it's doable.
The problem is that ending domestic bulk data collection requires enforcing the Constitution, and although many are against mass surveillance, many more are against other things that the Constitution enshrines & protects, like civilian gun ownership and freedom of religion as just 2 examples off the top f my head.
Unfortunately, there are many people out there that would be more than willing to sacrifice many civil rights if only guns were banned, and/or any church that performs any weddings was forced to wed anyone of any sex regardless of long-held religious beliefs/doctrines of said church/religion.

I'm still not sure what the big deal is. The description sounds like a typical summer afternoon here in Phoenix. I don't mind riding my bike for a few hours at a time in direct sunlight when its 115F and in the middle of the afternoon. The hottest it has gotten here was I believe 123F, which was some time during the 90's.
Our average daily humidity is about 37%, though it runs about 10% in the afternoon most of the time, I can recall at least a few times where it was 35% humidity at 110F in the afternoon, and it didn't bother me.
However not this year. This year has had one of the coldest winters I can remember, and so far this summer it has rarely exceeded the triple digits, which is a little unusual for a non-monsoon year, but it's by far not the first time either.
Don't think he was a duck. From the fact that he was about to give us a list of real languages but then failed to do so, I can only assume the last "ducks" was him exclaiming at being overwhelmed by a wave of ducks, that subsequently ate him.
Yes, I am quite sure the real problem is he was a victim of.... fowl play.
That's entry level C++? That list sounds like at least a mid-level C++ programmer... how are they supposed to be entry level but have had the experience to understand a wide range of legacy code?
That does not mean that T-Rex had them or that triceratops had them

While the triceratops may not have had them, they also have three digits and a proto beak, two traits I've never heard of in any lizard.
Well, some of them actually do look like lizards.
A dead giveaway that it's not a dinosaur is (among other things) its 5 digits. All dinosaurs had 3 digits.
Self parking is irrelevant, since that was not being used in the case in question.
Thank you. That alone clears up a lot of confusion. Damn reporters . . .
I forget where but recently I read a really good point - the radiation shielding someone on Mars might want to wear a lot (especially outside) is actually quite useful, because it adds weight that puts stress on your bones to the same degree Earth gravity would, thus reducing the problem of bone loss through everyday movement instead of just exercise periods.
As mentioned though, it seems like any mars settlement could make good use of the canyons there to help with shielding.
At first I read that as "What if you empty a patent attorney" and was thinking: Is it possible to make a patent attorney poor right now?
BTW that post sounds kind of mean spirited to the OP in retrospect, which isn't intended, I'm just poking fun at creationist websites claiming that dinosaurs espousing the idea that "god let lizards live a long time so they grew big" which isn't supported by the fossil record.
Dinosaurs, the ones related to lizards
Uhh...wut? Just because they looked like overgrown lizards in Jurassic Park, doesn't mean they're related to lizards.
Here's Jur ass has had it Park's raptor:

Here's what a raptor probably looked like IRL:

Now what modern animal does the likely IRL version of a raptor resemble? If you guessed lizard, then I'm sorry.
