Senator Somebody has filed "lawsuit" against your company. It is super-effective. All your assets are belong to him.
Ideally you would have a shell company that owns the vehicles and leases them to you.
It's how a lot of companies avoid liability.
If anything happens, the shell company declares bankruptcy and moves the assets to another shell.
I fucking loathe insurance companies, and deeply resent the government forcing me to pay them in order to drive.
In some states you can self insure by posting cash or a bond.
But if anything happens, you have unlimited personal liability.
Insurance isn't about you, it's about the people you might hurt.
It's a necessary evil, though I'd support an Obamacare style mandate for auto insurance companies to pay out a minimum of premiums or rebate the balance back to their customers.
A forum with real-names policy is basically worthless, which is precisely why the Powers that Be try to push them. Stripping people of the shield of anonymity makes dissenting opinions easier to silence through chilling effects.
If you've ever seen the kind of awfulness people willingly post through their facebook logins, I don't think you can reasonably claim that no anonymity = chilled speech.
2) Have you any evidence that other species of fish from the area have been ruled off limits due to heavy metals contamination?
Recommended Meals/Month varies from
"Avoid" and "1 every other month" to
"8" and "No Restrictions"
What the hell kind of setup does this actually affect anyway? So you lookup an internal name only after you get an NXDOMAIN from a root server or something? I've not been a sysadmin/netadmin by profession in a few years, [...]
Oh, that's the problem right there.
You've assumed that because you know how to set things up correctly, everyone will set their DNS correctly.
Sometimes satire is obvious, sometimes it isn't.
Why Doesn't America Read Anymore?

Congratulations, genuine readers, and happy April Fools' Day!
We sometimes get the sense that some people are commenting on NPR stories that they haven't actually read. If you are reading this, please like this post and do not comment on it. Then let's see what people have to say about this "story."
Best wishes and have an enjoyable day,
Your friends at NPR
As you might expect, a lot of people commented on that without clicking through.
I consider satire to be something of a public service.
If you don't bother to check the source of your information,
you deserve the embarrassment (or misinformation) that follows.
TLDR: Credulity is not a virtue.
But I have toyed with the idea of testing T-Mobile's unlimited data plan in its place - if the Comcast price creep continues unabated, I might actually do it.
You might have a fixed wireless broadband provider in your area.
That would be the best and cheapest option.
T-Mobile's "unlimited" is actually unlimited 2G + 1/3/5 GB of tethered 4G.
The hotspot/table plans are unlimited 2G + 1/3/5/7/9/11 GB of tethered 4G.
/I happen to live too far away for DSL and in a fixed wireless coverage gap, so I'm stuck with Cable.
Unless you live in a city, in a major market, the odds of there being any competition are almost nil.
Developing a domestic PV panel industry, fueled by domestic rare earth minerals, would help a lot here.
You'd still need to process those rare earth metals.
And (for now) you can't do that without the ore passing through a Chinese owned refinery.
As other states follow California's lead, it will become more and more difficult for coal plants to stay in operation.
The Clean Air Act was passed in 1970.
Existing coal plants were grandfathered in, with the assumption that they'd eventually be upgraded or replaced.
Instead, the coal industry has been operating the same dirty plants for >40 years.
The only reason "it will become more and more difficult for coal plants to stay in operation" is because the EPA has set a date for the closure of this loophole.

In the months leading up to the beginning of the market's first compliance period, several stakeholders objected to the resource shuffling rules and began agitating for reforms.
An effective law was passed and the regulated companies neutered the law through lobbying.

I have always had delayed sleep phase disorder (self-diagnosis)
Melatonin no longer works: after some occasional use, it now only works in high doses;
Melatonin isn't a sleeping pill* and you're probably not using it correctly.
The correct** way to use melatonin is in low doses 5~8 hours before bed time.
Melatonin is your brain's way of saying "hey, it's dark out, let's push over the chemical dominoes that will lead to sleep."
On the other end, when you wake up, you either need a light box or some sunshine.
(Ideally you want a light source of at least 10,000 lumens at 480nm (IIRC))
This sets off another chain of chemical reactions that let your brain know that it's time to wake up.
As a result, it prevents your sleep phase from shifting forward by however much your delay is.
*Most of the usage directions you find online are wrong.
**I'm not a sleep doctor but I talked to one recently, you should too.
Much more practical: send elected representatives on those trips.
Elected representatives are already visiting Israel.
Destination by Country: Israel
The trips are almost exclusively paid for by Israeli interest/lobbying groups,
so you can imagine that the agenda isn't the most neutral or nuanced.
I would aggressively punish apps that demand overly broad access to your data.
Most countries that ratified the Bioweapons Convention just moved all their offensive research under the umbrella of defensive programs.
The difference between "we're making this stuff to kill people" and "we're making this stuff to design defenses against killing people" is one of semantics.
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
