What you're saying is that Owen and Beru were running a massive grow op?

A 737 costs around $90 million. And a 767 is close to two hundred million.

You're talking about a final product selling for hundreds of millions of dollars. Transportation is a rounding error.

He was asking about the US. So I told him what happens in the US.

They can't punish you for not revealing your keys. They can, however, throw the book at you on any charge they can prove.

That 16 MB cost over $700 in 1993. Most people couldn't afford 16 MB.

Sorry, I should have clarified that I was comparing a roundabout to a signal, not a stop sign on the side road only.

The one part of his comment that has merit is that if you have a major arterial road intersecting with a side street at a roundabout, the arterial will completely dominate the traffic if vehicles within the roundabout have the right of way.

The difference is that the existence of birthers is actually a pretty good boost to the Democratic base. "Look at these crazy Republicans, they're so nuts they think he's not an American citizen! Donate to help us fight the hordes of ignorance!".

This comes off a lot more like "People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook." And then cue the missing evidence. Nixon was sunk by less than twenty minutes of audio. Two years of email?

After all, in Washington they're not bothered if you're corrupt. They're bothered if you're corrupt and can't hide it.

Roux-en-Y is a weight loss surgery, so there's no reason to believe it would do anything for a type I. Just out of curiosity - obviously, your experience is your experience - how low was "minimal" carbs? I generally aim for under 20 g/day.

VPN is your friend.

It's the "some" that's troublesome. Look, you want to require free service for all nonprofits? Fine. No problem. Some? Now you've got everything you need for corruption.

Type 2 is actually fairly easy to cure if you want to get rid of it.

Stop eating digestible carbohydrates.

If you wanted to make people fat, the Food Pyramid is a damned fine way to do it.

The guy who flies a private plane has already undergone an FAA medical exam. In my state, at least, the medical exam and a slightly more strenuous road test is the only real difference between a private driver's license and a taxi/limo driver's license (vehicles holding 16 or more people are different, which is why they make 15-passenger vans). That's not a big barrier to entry.
