No, don't be silly. Of that 30 cents the government gets, what exactly did they have to do to get it? Establish that it was going to be how much tehy get paid. That's the point of this tangent we're on, not that they make more than the oil companies in total, the point is they pocket more than the oil companies for…

It doesn't cost the government anywhere near the same percentage. The salaries and wages are already going to be paid anyway for the same people that are already working, the roadways are being maintained, the drivers pay for that in various taxes and tolls. I won't go as far as to say that the entirety of the taxed…

light in viscosity, I suppose. Also light in color, but so is heavy syrup

I really wish that I could find what I'm worth on Glassdoor, but my industry is somewhat niche, and my company (first one I've worked for in this industry) uses different naming convention for positions that either Glassdoor or the BLS

Ah, I misunderstood your point.

A Prius probably doesn't do any less damage to the roadways than my MR2 did, considering they're close to the same weight and the MR2 didn't have much power in that tiny motor (1985 model), are you talking of putting GVWR based tax system in place to maintain roads? I could see that working, but that isn't exclusive…

Yeah, when I got my TX license, I handed them my 1998 issued license, which had me as 139 lbs. I was nearly double that weight lol

So you're equating the government's need to maintain roadways to the cost of the oil company pumping the oil out of the earth, shipping the oil across the ocean, refining it, trucking it to wherever it's going to be sold and whatever other processes are involved in turning crude into a tank full of gas? When those…

That's been "in process" for over 10 years

That varies state to state, as DOT regulations are state-level, as are the way taxes are collected for maintaining the roadways. When I lived in Arizona, there was no inspection for the vehicle, even when initially registering it, all I had to do was walk into the MVD with the signed title of the car and fill out a…

So, let's calculate what the government spends on salaries, infrastructure, etc. related to gasoline production and sales. If you're going to try to spin it so the government has to take into account the salaries and infrastructure, then you have to bring in the revenue from more than just gasoline to the discussion.…

Why do they do no damage to roadways? They hover or something?

Trident D-5 missiles are also equipped with MIRVs, and those are used by the US and UK on SSBNs

Speaking as someone who moved from New England to Central Texas, I prefer the heat to the cold. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a "too hot", but being uncomfortably warm just makes me sweat. Being uncomfortably cold causes me physical pain after a while. And not having to shovel out a driveway, then do it…

Huh? How does that have anything to do with this, unless he was on duty at the time

Come on, it's not exactly a crime to use the name of the newest AAA FPS title to grab attention in an article about a peripheral that will work well with FPS titles

What is an "SF K-9"? How are they any different from any other dog? Do they go through BUD/S or something?

I've got a pair of Chow chows in my house, categorized (by insurance companies, anyways) as a "vicious breed". They lay down with my small children and play like any other dog I've ever had. Sure, they each weigh more than any of my kids (including my 9 year old), but they know that they aren't above the children…

Well, wiht the overlays in the gif at the head of the article, it kind of makes the (motorcycle jacket?) look like part of the nano suit

I miss my AZ license. I had my 16 year old picture on it forever, lol. Once I got out of the military and moved to TX, they made me get a TX license, which doesn't last nearly as long
