And be willing to do without. That's the part that gets most people. They don't want the loud commercials, but they still want to watch Desperate Housewives or whatever the latest drivel is. So they deal with the loud commercials and complain to people that don't matter. Obviously, the show is worth it to them so loud commercials still get watched.

I disagree. Not too long ago, most families slaughtered their own or raised them for when the butcher came. I'd say there were far less veggies then than now. And how do you explain the millions of hunters that go out, some multiple times, every year to kill, dress, butcher, and freeze their own meat (bird, deer, or otherwise)?

Some people don't know how to turn the flash off, or don't want to go through the trouble of switching modes when taking sky pictures vs. near-object (friends at the show) pictures.

But so would bleach sales! An answer to our economic woes! AC is a genius.

People don't like that answer. I've actually had a friend of mine freak out at me because I explained something very similar, but on a personal level. The only reason anyone [normal, non high-profile] isn't dead is because no one has decided they need to die. Tell me, if someone decides you need killing but you don't know that, what's to stop them from walking up behind you with a garrote? Braining you with a rock? Using a large stick to beat you? Sharpening a stick with previously mentioned rock and impaling you? Or just wrapping their hands around your neck until you stop twitching? Absolutely nothing, and that's without getting into "modern" tools with metals, chemicals, and other force-enhancing tech. She didn't particularly like the idea that her existence depends entirely on the fragile sanity and civilized mindset of everyone else in her environment.

The sooner everyone realizes you can't completely control the risk without destroying your life anyway the sooner we can get on with living. Life involves risk, you can't prevent everything, and you will die eventually; learn to live so life means something in case you do expire earlier than expected!

Checkout OsmAnd and Navit. Both are open source GPS programs for the Android. CoPilot is a similar, $30 app. I was looking into it for similar reasons (I hike a lot, which means traveling where cellphones don't work). Haven't actually had a chance to test them recently, but it's a start. The maps are pretty heavy for all of them, however, starting at about 2GB on the SD card and bloating towards 4-5 if you include all the extras (points of interest, etc).

American women usually spend all morning cooking the meal, and then American men spend all afternoon/evening sleeping. Doubt there's much sex going on after stuffing themselves silly with all that delicious food. Possible, but definitely not the norm.

Just because we can't see or hear the giant ninja orgy happening in the shadows doesn't mean there isn't one. We assume they're solitary since we only ever see one at a time attacking.

Evidence of the possibilities:

Maybe because it costs some of us hundreds or thousands of dollars per day we're not able to work? Because they hold court during hours most people are working? Because they have so many stupid nonsensical rules that they use more juries than they should to prosecute people in the course of "protecting people from themselves?"

Some people don't like wasting their time with the joke.

You're thinking antitician if you want any change.

They're banking on the idea that by opting to fly you've "consented" to search before boarding the aircraft. Check the fine print next time you buy a ticket. It's bullshit, but they're claiming you've consented.

Or of his partner depending on position.

They did and they got backlash from the anti-monopoly community and other AV vendors for "repeating the IE mistake" with AV.

Fear reduction and removal would be completely different. Fear is part of the indicator that keeps you from repeating dumb mistakes. If you walk into the road w/o looking and almost get hit by a car, you'll probably be more cautious next time. W/o fear, you'd probably walk blindly into the road regardless of what happened last time unless you were actually thinking about it. Fear is that safety meter you want intact.
