How Bitcoin starts gaining a bit of traction and then goes straight to hell in a week.

When you're done with your fatalistic douchebag routine, look up Standard Oil.

Are you being an ass on purpose or is this your day-to-day attitude?

The station and shuttle were in incompatible orbits for docking: it would have been physically impossible to get the Columbia to the station.

It took me about a full minute of staring to realize you meant "laws or no(t)." What did you do, dictate your post?

Arresting an occupant for refusing a search would violate the fourth amendment, and poison the search. That's well settled case law, and not even remotely what this case was about.

Warrants aren't required when consent exists. Warrants exist for those cases where no one gives consent. That's kind of the point.

"Occupant" has a long standing, well understood legal definition. It isn't "random schmoe who happens to be near the house"....

Utility workers don't have the right to consent, because they are not legal occupants. They can, however, report anything they suspect is illegal to the police, who then need to obtain consent or a warrant. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise.

Minors generally can't legally consent to anything ... that's why they need parent/guardian signatures on permission slips to do even the most trivial things at school. They certainly can't consent to a warrantless search.

The legal definition of "occupant" is well settled law. This case makes not changes to that definition. If you think this case is going to cause you problems, you probably already have them ....

A four year old can't legally consent to anything.

My old (built ca. 1968) Schwinn and I did some serious downhill speed too. Maxed out at about 60mph (knowing the speed of the cars I was passing). No shock absorbers, but very solid (the bike weighed 40 lbs.) Upright and wide handlebars... which in my experience give you a whole lot more control than those narrow curled things at knee level.

Going back up the hill was not so fun. ;)

And when I was riding 100 miles a week (much on hills or in wind), I found a big well-padded seat, upright or semi-upright position, and higher/wider handlebars the most comfortable.

With that setup I could move around -- lean down on the handlebars, lean up and back, use or avoid the wind, shift my butt to change the contact area, change my hand/arm position multiple ways to avoid shoulder fatigue, change my angle against the pedals to rest my legs.

I can't do any of that on a more 'advanced' bike (which is what I have now, and hate it).

Additionally, that old 'upright' Schwinn bike weighed 40 pounds (no shit, I weighed it) yet felt light as a feather on the road, plus it was much easier to control on rough ground.

Name three new, non-game commercial retail software titles for the PC released as 1.0 applications in the last five years that were not remakes, re-releases, upgrades or clones of existing software.

I'll save you the trouble. There were zero. Why? Because the immigrants were not able to do the same job at all. The pay didn't even matter.
