What's hilarious (in an ugly way) is that the same women who claim abuse only comes from men because men take advantage of their greater strength, also claim that women can do anything men can do and that sheer physical strength is not a factor.
Okay folks, which is it??
And yet again you completely miss the point - the paywall is the price the auction ends at, only the winning bidder gets the exact location at the end of the auction, and even then only when they pay up.
And how are you going to "wait for the tow truck" on a street with no parking? There are fines for double parking, for loitering and for blocking a public thoroughfare.
Not legally questionable at all - you are being paid to vacate a spot, not resell anything you have purchased from the city.
Not sure what you mean by "locating the bidder" - I assume you mean "locate the spot occupier who is auctioning the spot vacancy", which is far from easy as their location would be hidden behind the apps paywall (with the minimum information you would have up front being the general area the spot is located in, so you aren't bidding on something 10 miles away from where you want to visit), so you would have to win the auction, pay up and only then get the parking spots actual exact location.
Besides, waiting on a public highway for anywhere up to an hour for a parking spot to be vacated isn't exactly what I would call "winning" in your scenario...
That's like saying they are sent to Norwich as part of an organised system, rather than randomly patrolling the countryside.
They go where they are expected to be required - in general that's the population centres, and in specific that's where the population congregates at that particular time. Go to a cities shopping centre at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon and you will see a lot more police than you would at 7am on a Monday morning in exactly the same place.
Your original comment comes across much more as if they are sitting around in their police station until they are dispatched, on a per call basis. Which is patently not true.
Consider that police don't just walk around in the hope of finding bad things happening. They get sent places from the control centre, which in turn gets reports from the public via 999 calls or similar.
Aside from the fact that I regularly see plenty of uniformed police officers or PCSOs patrolling on foot around the city in which I live (Norwich, UK), try going to a population centres club district and see how heavy the police presence is then - here in Norwich, its not unusual to see 50 or more police on one stretch of road (Prince of Wales Road - the main nightclub district for the city) at the same time on a friday or saturday night. This is a road I can typically walk from one end to the other in less than 15 minutes.
So yes, the police do "just walk around in the hope of finding bad things happening", they just do it when appropriate.
The 1980s miners strike was an illegal strike - Arthur Scargill did not hold the required ballot but instead just declared a strike, which was illegal under legislation then active - so the police had every right to "support the government".
Being non-identifiable was a safety issue with regard to the police, because it was shown on many occasions that the striking miners were not adverse to taking action against identified individuals and their families.
Nope, that's pure and simple capitalism.
Maximize profit while minimizing cost - find the cheapest labor, and use them.
In fact, the entire premise of capitalism is built on optimizing resource expense at any cost to maximize profitability, and ergo, total available capital.
There is absolutely *no* interpretation whatsoever of socialism that would value profit over worker's rights.
I would recommend that you actually put some time into reading Marx and Engels (and of course, Schumpeter), but then I'd be talking to a wall.
This is not true. H1Bs are dual intent visas - i.e. you can be here temporarily, or you can express intent to migrate. I'd suspect that there would be a higher conversion of H1Bs to green card if it were not for the bureaucratic hurdles for getting one (need to stay with the same employer, for one).
Except for the fact that you do not have the right to confront an anonymous 'informant'.
Having worked in a restaurant that was locally famous for its steaks -- nope, they all came out of the same batch. Having worked in one that wasn't famous for much of anything -- nope, those all came out of the same batch too. Well-dones got put on the grill before the others, that's how they get 'em all ready at the same time.
And if it's stopped mooing, it's too cooked.
The problem is that if they launch over the sea and then try to recover a first stage back to land it is going to burn a lot of fuel reversing course before it falls out of the sky. That extra fuel will eat into payload-to-orbit, as will the landing leg system and all the other gubbins needed to soft-land it meaning that it can only be realistically used on small-payload launches which means less financial return on such flights.
Seriously, do you think that SpaceX hasn't crunched those numbers? Do you not think that SpaceX has looked at historical payload mass patterns and the anticipated market, and designed the rocket accordingly? Do you not know that SpaceX has done a tank stretch on the Falcon 9 to accommodate the extra fuel needed for the legs and the turnaround? Do you suppose that if a customer needs extra payload to orbit that they cannot choose to leave the legs off and switch back to an expendable launch profile?
Yes, it takes a full test, in addition, the extra weight of building it to soft land reduces the performance of the system.
True, and if it can already outperform its intended use, then nothing is lost.
Why didn't they put some kind of cover over the exhaust port?
That was the flaw (or at least part of it).
Some of the other flaws:
It's no wonder it's called the Death Star.
retrophrenology at it's finest!
So it's not the bumps, it's the divots?
