These are objective facts as opposed to random ravings of lunatics. Remember that Fox News’ own lawyers claim that it’s not actually news but rather is entertainment only.

The east coast has more big cities than those other places, but there are still. HUGE number of teeny-tiny dying towns all up and down the eastern seaboard.

Kids that aren’t even born yet (debt spending).

Or possibly a window?

Twitter was a vapid load of crap before Elmo took it over. I see this as a win if it knocks him down a peg or 44 billion.

Right, but stick with me here... what if they could make MORE money? All they need to do is stop requiring them to clean out the lead in the toxic waste that they dump on their worker's towns and the owners can put that money into another vacation house.

Or corporations who want to have a say. BP Oil will happily drop off a shipping container of cash at a "volunteer's" house if it means that they eliminate inspections of oil platforms in the gulf.

Corporations will be stumbling over themselves to insert HIGHLY paid people into these positions.

These are the people that invented automation. Why do a job when you can have a machine do it for you?

[–] TehWorld 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or, as another commenter pointed out, because their corporate bosses are paying gobs of money to them to 'volunteer' for these positions.

[–] TehWorld 37 points 5 days ago

I hadn't thought of that, but this is 100% exactly what will happen. BP oil will surely pay someone VERY handsomely to 'volunteer' 80 hours a week toward eliminating all oversight of drilling rigs in the gulf.

It was less about the .99 pricing and more about "Sale" pricing and 'coupons'. Retailers will put a pair of pants on "Sale" for 50% off 51 weeks out of the year and people think they're getting a great deal whereas when it's not half off, they just don't buy.

Here's your twice-annual warning! Texas' power grid can't handle cold OR hot! Has anyone tried cutting taxes and banning people from bathrooms? That'll probably make this better.

 

Because riding my bike 11 miles to work in 95 degree heat with unhealthy air to breathe is totally an option! I'd rather take my mega-bro-dozer pickup, in case I need to buy 1000lbs of mulch... /Sarc

I didn't even think of making a S2000 community! Good idea! I'm based in Texas, USA and my '04 is primarily a trackday toy. Its currently street legal, but I've started towing it to events, as I don't want to break down and not be able to get it home. The photo is an old one, back when I had just got the car.

Another kickoff post: I've got track experience in 3 cars - What's everyone else driving? I have a 04 S2000 that is shared duty between street and track, I'm on a Lemons team with a Nissan S14, and have driven a buddy's 350Z in a Champcar race.

Is the community creation causing issues for anyone else at the moment? I've been trying for a few hours now to create a community, but I'm suffering the spinning wheel forever. I'm assuming that it's just overloaded server, but in case someone has a hint, I'd appreciate it!

My wife and I have a toddler and a newborn. I figure a thread on play-places, parks and kid-friendly events is a good idea :)

Even though malls are dying, we take the kids to play at

~Willow Bend - Half dead mall. Playplace is nice, but ratio of climb-ables to space means this one is better suited to running around than play.

~ Lewisville (music city). 80% dead mall. A couple small slides for the littles, and a big climbing gym for the bigger kids. Usually quite a bit quieter than any other mall, and you can generally let the littles run wild in the mall halls as it's so dead.

~ Stonebriar - fairly thriving mall. Playplace is PACKED with climbable stuff (almost too packed) and fairly small, especially for how busy it gets at times.

~ Prestonwood Church - Play place is free and not at a mall! Really better for kids out of the toddler stage.
