Nobody's single-point-of-data scenario matters to the argument at hand. Not yours either. What matters is the actual change in the number of impaired drivers on the road. That's it.
 
From there you might possibly get a better idea of what types of scenarios occur more often than others.
 
Maybe the simple of act of checking the app is enough that more people tend to wait longer and order water. Maybe the act of passing the app around in the bar initially trends toward more sober drivers as people are reminded publicly, but once the novelty wears off, it trends back to drunks taking back roads? Who knows? To sit there and argue by anecdote is a waste of everyone's time.

Owning and controlling something is fine and dandy. Literally trying to own and control the photons that bounce off of your property is too ludicrous for words.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
 
Snow days are healthy. By Saturday it'll be muck, or ice, and the kids will be stuck inside, yet again. And since it's May, let's not forget it's dark by dinner time in the winter. Let the kids play outside, for their own good. It's only a few times per year.

That's not a reconciliation. That's an unfair theory that assumes the extra grey matter is unwanted. He could just as easily theorize that "Some mechanism is helping these brains keep more of their flexibility and childlike wonder and curiosity." OR "This extra grey matter might allow mature brains to better function in a chaotic environment, whereas a normal adult brain tends to get "flustered" when routines change."

  Of course I just made all that up, but you get the point. He begins his theory-making by assuming part of the brain is unwanted. Try again without the bias buddy.

Please, just let me shop from my phone and then pick it up.
 
Who am I kidding? I'd be thrilled if they could just figure out that the Frozen aisles go last.

The real questions are:
  How much can we trust the various "Off" switches for the multiple "Location Services" on our mobile devices?
 
    How much responsibility do companies have to make sure their devices' default settings don't "invite" crime and invasion of privacy?
 
Who checks to keep these businesses honest?

If my calculations are correct, a 62.4% increase in efficiency would be gained by simply reversing the polarity and then bombarding it with an inverse tachyon pulse.

I wonder if they intend the Oasis metaphor to extend out to the desert around it.
 
Or, to mix metaphors, are they basically saying "Nothing will change around here, but we'll build you an enclosed sandbox to shut you up. SURE we'll listen to ideas."

"free range" does not mean what you think it means in this case. It means giving your child the tools and discipline to act appropriately and independently without having to worry that they'll behave as you describe. "free range" does mean wild. It means capable and allowed to grow given the right tools and parameters. It means meeting your neighbors and exchanging phone numbers and other information. Free Range kids means guidance and empowerment, and lots of good consistent parenting, while not being over-protective. It does not mean abandoning a child in the way you describe.

Depends on what you consider city. My mailing address includes the name of my city. It's 15 minutes away. There are condos down the road. My city is large enough to have the NFL, MBA, NHL, etc. The suburbs surrounding the city are larger and more populated than "downtown". "The country" is a about 45 minutes further out.

But none of that matters to the argument. You didn't check out FRK did you? http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/

Not sure I'm reading you right but fyi my 5 year old goes outside to play with the neighborhood kids throughout the 4 seasons. In winter they make snow forts, etc. They run and play through our typical suburban neighborhood all afternoon. I whistle when it's time for dinner. He also toasts his own waffles, and makes his own simple lunches (half day kindergarten) picks out his own clothes to wear, helps watch his little sister when I'm working at home, and generally has a lot of independence. He turns 6 this week. You say your kid is 7 and can't play outside by himself??
You really really need to check out FreeRangeKids.com. Do him a favor that will help him his whole life and go there now.

Something about that sentence...
