“Identification” and “State issued secure identification” are two different things. I can cash a check right now, by signing it, handing it to a person who has an account and having them sign it. Why do I need ID? you can cash a check with a Blockbuster video card. How do you think people live off the grid? you can…

making government services convenient is expensive, tell the “no new taxes” crowd how much it will cost to put DMV employees at every polling location and see how that goes for you.

If you make them free and super easy to get, then they cease being secure which is the point of all this. you can get a shopper’s card at any grocery store for free and very easily, are you ok with people using that to vote?

You have to pay for a passport, how much do you think it would cost to give everyone a passport? a free ID would just be another “entitlement”. Besides that have you been to a passport office? would you want to deal with them everytime you move? Besides that, if everyone has a free ID how would you disenfranchise a…

People leave stores all the time without checking their receipt. a lot of people just trust the checkout system. whether that is good or smart is up to the person, if you like to check your receipt, its clear that you can do this and its not more of a hassle than looking at your receipt in a standard store.

if someone would only invent pockets.

I’ve got news for you. The regular checkout is nowhere near 100% correct. people still shop.

There is plenty of manufacturing in the US, the problem is its not done by people. We do double the amount of manufacturing in the US that we did in 1975, we do it with half as many jobs? how is it possible to do 2x as much with 1/2 as many people? Automation. Your jobs are not being sucked overseas, they are being…

It’s a real measurement for wood in the US and Canada. Its about 3.6 cubic meters. Its a stack of wood 4 feet high, 4 feet deep, and 8 feet long.

I think people are focusing too much on his swing and not the real problem. He can’t putt. During his years of dominance, he was deadly on the green. That part of his game doesn’t exist. He won a major on one leg, he could figure out how to manage his swing to make it through a tournament. It wouldn’t do him any good…

They should have went the other way and installed a 1/4 inch jack.

Gizmodo is all about cordcutting be not worth it....a few weeks after they were acquired by a telelvision company.

If you don’t cut the cord, then these companies have no motivation to change. I find its less convenient for me to have cut the cord, but whatever, I want an online a la carte system and it will never come if I keep shelling out money to the cable company for channels I don’t watch. $10 a month is too much for CBS’s…

Lawyer/consulting, and he has been guest hosting on sports radio. Unfortunately he will always have work, I wish there were better consequences for hitching his wagon to the Cheeto.

Send over a bottle of bubbly with a bucket of ice and a card. Have it say, ‘Tough break, get drunk on me. Use the bucket to ice down your marbles, Yours, Z.

Am I the only one that wants 2 dishwashers? Then you never put dishes away. you work from the clean washer and fill the empty one, then wash that one and the other one waits to get filled. If you have a party, you can do two loads at once.

The trailer exists in 3 dimensions, not just length. I was assuming the cabin of a work van is about 12 feet long and about 6 feet high. the trailer is 25 feet long and about looks to be at least 12 feet high, so if you put 2 work vans nose to tail, and then stack another 2. thats the size of 4 work vans. back of the…

My point being you asked what the difference was. that trailer looks like its 12 -14 feet tall, its taller than his garage. comparing it to a work van or a flatbed is a little ridiculous. If you were going to get an addition the size of that trailer on your house you would need to get a permit and probably an easement…

Look at the picture. Its a 25 foot trailer that is taller than his garage. Its the size of a small house and probably equal in size to 4 of your work vans. Size matters.

So you think the executives that screwed up would have been “forced out” when does that ever happen? Bought out maybe. GM “bought” itself as part of the restructuring. Having someone outside buy them would have taken time and restructuring, and it could have well cratered the economy. The Center for Automotive…
