"By law they have to offer the local channels at something approaching cost"

And they're not doing it, since broadcast is free. and since they bundle channels nobody wants, it's not an antenna replacement. Aereo was.

  Aereo was renting you an antenna and DVR since some people can't erect antennas or have poor reception since the digital transition (UHF propagates poorly around obstacles compared to VHF)

MACH 1.98 *official* speed, that's for the Mark1 with Pratt & Whitney J75 Turbojets, could have been even faster with Iroquois engines (that was in 1959), it tested faster than that on its first flight even with the J75s, but was lowered down to 1.98 because they wanted to sell the Iroquois engines.

Stop disinfecting and over-cleaning everything. Remove the Purell crap. Let kids eat dirt.

1- It will force people to build their immune system (I'm not always sick like younger generations)
2- If you stop killing 99.999% of all bacteria, it will put an end to super-bacteria (the 0.0001% that survive and reproduce)

I *never* use any kind of medicine (unless I have no choice), I never use band aids on nicks and scratches (don't disinfect them either). I have no food intolerance, food allergies or other weird ailment.
