In most jurisdictions, a note could be put on the driving record. If a pattern on aggressive driving were to be established, a prosecutorial or civil suit effort would have an easier time of litigating against that driver.

In my case, yes, there was paint damage from my bike, which would be evidence.

Edit to add: this was a bit before camera phones.

Fear indeed. I went to college in a very... provincial small city. Riding my bicycle around, I was regularly harassed by insecure assholes in pickup trucks, and run off the road twice. The one time I managed to get a license plate, the police claimed that without witnesses, they couldn't do anything. ACAB.

I added my 1911 to the strap of my messenger bag, at the top of my left shoulder, where the stainless frame would be plainly visible. I was suddenly given plenty of space on the road and even got occasional compliments when waiting at stoplights. It's disgusting that I would be a target for bullying without my pistol, but suddenly I was an okay guy with my penis extension where douchebag drivers could see it.

So yeah, I'm living proof that non-military open carry is only for scaredy cats.

"I got mine, fuck you." With a little dash of "Nothing like the afternoon delight of some bootlicking."

I know plenty of staunchly feminist women whose entire personae (or life goal) is the 50s US housewife fantasy. But, that's still a matter of self-determination. Nothing about the GOP's actions indicate self-determination is part of their platform, except for oligarchs. This is yet another play in their ongoing Big Lie Tactic: tell a big enough lie enough times, and people will start to believe it.

Copyright infringement, DRM circumvention, and "hacking."

See: Aaron Swartz

On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT. Federal prosecutors, led by Carmen Ortiz, later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.

Negative. I worked in pharmaceutical automation, management, and auditing software, specifically tracking and auditing (read: "near real-time chain-of-custody") of delivery of Schedule II and cancer drugs from institutional ("enormous") pharmacies. It was actually rather fascinating work, as are most compliance automation software suites.

It's interesting how most invasive species seem to be not good eating for humans.

Fully agreed! However, invasive lionfish buck this trend in tasty, tasty fashion. I daresay it's the best tasting fish, bar none. I liken it to albacore sashimi with Kerrygold butter put together, but even better.

Some background: I'm Vietnamese, and everyone in my extended family has a legendarily bad complexion. Hell, most Vietnamese people I've ever met struggle with acne and a T-zone riddled with open comedones.

What broke the cycle for me was water-only + changing my pillowcase every day. And it didn't take long to see results, maybe 10 to 14 days. I find now that it's one or the other on a day-to-day basis. For example, if I have to use soap on my face, I need to change my pillowcase otherwise I'll get some small pimples. But as long as it's water-only, I can change my pillowcase weekly with the rest of the bedding.

Maybe they're competing with Samsung for shittiest Android overlay? I used to be an Android developer for mission-critical software. We devs all had a large spread of devices for testing, and I would dread the Samsung and Huawei testing. One of them was always on my shit list, with the other keeping pace.

There is no standard definition, though the term generally applies to vessels with a cabin intended for overnight use. To be termed a yacht, as opposed to a boat, such a pleasure vessel is likely to be at least 33 feet (10 m) in length and may have been judged to have good aesthetic qualities.

That said, I'm all for training and arming the cetaceans.

When I think 'mech, the Timber Wolf is what leaps to mind. Well, that and the Marauder, despite all of its issues.

Yes, we live on a ocean-going sailboat, so we have tight metrics on consumption rates for everything. The 4.5 number comes from our average monthly consumption.

Average water consumption stats make my head spin. According to the article, Barcelona residents use an average 99 liters per person per day. 0_0 I know the residential averages in America are even more horrific, something like 50 to 150 gallons PPPD, depending on locale.

What the hell is everyone doing with all of that water?! My partner and I use 4.5 gallons PPPD. And it's that high because we hand wash our dishes (no place to put a dishwasher).
