The dumb ideas come from dumb people with money - politicians.

Innocent motorists are routinely relieved of their cash and belongings by police, without ever being charged with a crime, and with no recourse to recover their stolen property.
They should just extradite him to the US along with all of his seized property, and then the US government can just keep it forever under its insane civil forfeiture laws.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I routinely drive from Greenville SC to Washington DC without stopping.
They were probably just late having their d'Arsenval meter movements calibrated to 0.1% accuracy.
Because there are no consequences for ignoring such an order, and our government officials are never held accountable for criminal acts while in office, they will simply just ignore this order like they have ignored the last several.
I am NOT stopping for 30 minutes every "half tank" on a 3000 mile road trip from LA to NY.

I believe that, in this context, "to fix" means to set, make rigid or permanent, or to make fixed.
Fuck, don't forget smart meters, cell phones, triclosan, non-recycled toilet paper, fast food, Monsanto, and sodas larger than 16 ounces.

Look, there's no reason to get all amped up over this merger. Qi is clearly leading the charge in the market, so in order to offer any resistance, Duracell had to do this. The field is very dynamic and variant right now, so let's just hope that once it settles down to one dominant technology, it doesn't go all stagnant and stop working altogether.
Are you fucking kidding me samzenpus?
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
