In the U.S., "auto care" means automobile (car) maintenance. In other words, car repair shops must list or quote you a price before service.

Those are simply the electron orbitals which describe the probability of finding the respective election at a given point. That doesn't imply "smearing" any more than a picture with a long exposure does. Atoms are still mostly empty space.

A better phrasing would be that in most places in the U.S. public transport simply does not exist. Not everyone lives in the heart of the city where it may be an option.

I didn't mean this internet outage is worse than the Puerto Rico situation. That's why I said they're not comparable. The expanse of the internet outage is simply what makes it news worthy.

This internet outage looks like it affects 22 countries (some more than others) and covers a much more expansive area. I don't mean to detract from the tragedy in Puerto Rico but these events aren't comparable because their causes are completely different.

In my experience, you'll receive the card and temporary PIN separately in the mail for debit cards in the U.S.

Maybe the OP has a drinking problem that he's working on. Who knows? Regardless of the offense, there's no reason to ostracize him from society and employment after he's done his time.

I wouldn't be so sure. As a developer I've used a similar strategy to make restoring important data easier that occasionally would be deleted by mistake. This wasn't private information though.

Also, I have zero confidence that any of the big tech companies thoroughly delete data they've obtained even if it's illegal to keep. Big tech companies aren't exactly known for following the law. While GDPR sounds nice in theory, the U.S. based companies might "delete" the data from E.U. servers, but conveniently keep backups in the U.S. Or they might forget to pass on the delete request to trusted third-parties.

As a Midwesterner, I've never heard this before. The only stipulation is it's seen as informal. Is this a regonal thing?

But surly Amazon won't decide the city based solely on just their physical needs. Say city A is technically the best, but offers no tax breaks. City B is just slightly behind city A, but offers attractive tax breaks. Wouldn't that cause Amazon to seriously consider city B?

It's sad, but likely true. Binding arbitration anyone?

A competent physician, like a competent programmer, doesn't need to have a every drug or library memorized. He needs adequate knowledge to know what to look for and where to find it.

At that point you might as well advocate for the NSA to preapprove all text messages before being relayed to the recipient (provided that isn't already the case). Maybe the TSA could sell that as another perk to get through security faster. I'll take more privacy over a fake sense of security, thank you.

Some of the reputation is deserved though. When I worked at UPS you were forced to join the Teamsters union and pay union dues. I don't have a problem with the unions in general, but I'm against forced membership.

According to this I'm only 59% conservative which seems on the low side. Maybe today's standards are different from when this test was created.

Oh, I get it now. That completely passed over me because I'm familiar with the actual street.

I was curious so I checked the bread in my cupboard. The generic loaf of white bread has high fructose corn syrup, and the fancy whole wheat loaf has sugar. Both are pretty high up in the ingredient list.

Is there something wrong with the spelling of "Wealthy"? That's the name of the street and the proper spelling.

Other than promoting Python and "diversity", what exactly does PyBee/BeeWare do? It sounds like an SDK, but it appears to just point to a bunch of random GitHub projects. It's not very clear to me.

I'm sorry, what? I can't imagine daylight savings time is a partisan issue. And it's hardly "American" when many countries across the world unfortunately use it. That's an absurd statement.

> Next week, France will hand over 3,000 sq m (3,200 sq ft) of its territory to Spain without a single shot being fired.

Those numbers don't add up.

> The island is tiny - just over 200m long and 40m wide.

Assuming the island is roughly an ellipse, it's area should be ~6,280 m^2 or ~67,400 ft^2. Wikipedia reports the island's area as 0.00682 km^2 (6,820 m^2) and 0.00263 mi^2 (73,300 ft^2) [1].

So the reported area is half of the actual area, and the U.S. conversion to feet is off by an order of magnitude. BBC should have someone double check the numbers.

> I refer you to this comment, which you should have seen by now. Court case, concrete evidence. No frivolous arguments please.

There are a lot of comments in this post so I did not see that. In this case, it does appear that the NC legislature did intentionally act maliciously to affect who could vote. That being said, I still stand by my position that an ID should be required to vote, and that it should be easy acquire an ID.

> Are you saying that ... it might be abused? But is it actually, in reality? Your "what if" isn't good enough without concrete evidence.

I'm saying that not requiring an ID makes it easier for voting to be abused. I doubt it's abused much because it would be too fragile and require too much orchestration, but I don't think it's nonexistent. I think it's one of many safeguards to help ensure that elections are legitimate.

> Enough double-think.

I fail to see how I'm being logically inconsistent. I simply asked for evidence which you did provide. Most of the time people mention vague events without any citations.

That "what if" isn't good enough without concrete evidence. I need an ID to do many more mundane things than vote. Why is voting, which is an important civil duty, the one thing that should not require proof of identity?

You can get a state ID that's not a driver's license. I don't how you can get much of anything without an ID. In my experience you cannot bank, get a credit card, rent, setup utilities, get a cell phone, get car insurance (obviously requires a license), or fly (passports do work) without a state ID. What do you for those things without a state ID? Have your parents sign for everything?

This is what I don't get. In my state at least, MI, it costs $18 for a 4-year license (less for just an ID). Sure, you might have to wait a couple hours depending on the location of the SOS (DMV), but that's one day every few years.

If people are actually concerned that requiring a state ID to vote will disenfranchise the poor, then compromise and make IDs free or discounted based upon income.

Not that I disagree, but at what level do you establish proportional representation? At the state, county, city/town/municipality, somewhere in between? Currently, I think the boundaries are drawn ad-hoc but loosely defined by population, geography, and demographics that benefit who ever is in charge of the pen.

No, it's just the subtle, typical, anti-religious bigotry.

Okay, I'll bite.

I believe abortion is murder. However, I also realize it can be medically necessary if the mother's life would be threatened and so it should be permitted in that instance. Now, I don't deny that abortion is economically useful for some because it obviates personal responsibility, but I think that use is murder. There is the tricky situation when rape is involved, and while I still think it's wrong I'm not adamantly against it in that scenario.

I also believe execution is murder. However, for extreme cases I think it is necessary to execute people who have committed the worst of crimes when it can be definitively proven (e.g., rape, torture, and deliberate murder).

So in my mind both are morally wrong, but there are extreme situations where they should be permitted and I think are necessary.

I make about 4 trips like that a year. While it is certainly not a regular occurrence it is frequent enough that I would take it into consideration when looking at a vehicle. The point is not that I use the full range of my vehicle all of the time, but that I have the capability to due so. Don't get me wrong. I'm very interested in electric cars. However, the current ranges (which are close to being up to par), and especially the lack of infrastructure and long refueling times dissuades me from actually looking into purchasing one.

A problem is not everyone wants to wait half an hour for every charge on a long distance trip. If I'm driving 12 hours, I want to get to my destination with minimal interruption. Having to wait 30+ minutes for each of the 2+ refuelings would be a pain and add a considerable amount of time to the already lengthy trip. I'd avoid that pain point if that's the choice.
