They already do in most cases now. DSL/POTS are the only places they don't at this point. Cell and FIOS is entirely VOIP

A lot of the HAM activity only really pops up during disasters.

And saying "Bad kitty" gets both of my cats under the bed for 20-30 minutes, and a lap full of apologetic cat in an hour. Animals learn words they hear frequently, and make reactions based on that.

The MRE's are also about 5000 calories, so eating 2 a day is excessive.

You're supposed to eat it in stages throughout the day when you get hungry, not all at once.

I have, from a domino's. Then they refused to even so much as take a percentage off the bill for being 3 hours after the delivery time.

Complaining to corporate got me a call from the GM who told me and I quote "tough shit, we don't care" so I quit ordering from them and will never order from them again. They went from having a weekly order to no order all because one GM is a dick about their own failure.

MRE's have been good for a while. The C Rations sucked.

It seems to me to be tied to comments. If I comment 1-5x a day, I always have them. If I don't comment for a week or two I won't. If I comment excessively, I never get them.

Much further than a mile with a pair of these. http://www.ubnt.com/airfiber

They say they can hit 13 KM with them at 1.4 gb/s, and faster at shorter ranges.

Some cities, counties and even states insist all new development carry a HOA so they won't be responsible for things like the streets/lights in case they need fixed. Where I live is like that, there are some non HOA areas, but they are rare.

After the HOA is released from developer control the HOA can be disbanded and the restrictions removed, but it's very rare for them to do it.

Central Florida is considered subtropics though, and this isn't feeling much like subtropics weather to me. It's now down to 48. 1.5F/Hour it looks like is the current rate, but it was going much quicker earlier.

I should add, the record low in my city is 35, and it's normally in the 50's-60's this time of year.

I live on the gulf coast of Central Florida, it was 73 when I woke up, it's currently 51. It's expected to get down to 36 tonight.

The weather is fucking crazy.

There are standards and laws regulating how long it must be yellow. Many areas have been caught breaking those laws to increase their ticket revenue.

We have the countdown timers on most lights with a crosswalk in the tampa bay area. Soon as it hits 0, light goes yellow. They really are a great way to help reduce accidents.

The response to "Yes, we are conducting an investigation" is what are the charges?

They can't detain you without cause, and they can't fingerprint/take dna without charging you.
