Since a former president is involved seems like she should be deserving of federal protection.

I think if wages were higher people would have less problem parting with some of their income. But when living expenses are so close to net income it's tough.

Google wants even more than billions of dollars in ad revenue but can't or won't properly curate their ads. If you're too big to control your content then you're too big as a company. But I suspect they just don't want to pay people to curate the ads.

Maybe this is hell and God isn't going to let the wicked out so easily.

Generally you stop every 2-4 hours to stretch your legs, go to the bathroom, get fuel, etc.

So if Google Maps says a drive takes 10 hours, I would factor at least another 1.5 hours for stops and a meal somewhere along the way. So 11.5 hours or so if you don't stay stopped too long. 0 miles per hour brings the average down quickly.

Generally NO, the only acceptable defacement of caves I've seen are bolts to accommodate rappelling down shafts. Of course with commercial caves they have to do quite a bit of defacement.

They are creating a bunch of traffic problems in cities like San Francisco where the driverless car companies are essentially allowed to beta test their vehicles on public streets. They stop in the middle of the road and block traffic and emergency vehicles. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/driverless-taxi-cruise-waymo-18157172.php

I could never be a wizard. Mess up code, get some error messages. Mess up a spell, get turned into a pile of goo, slaughtered by a demon, or transported to a hell dimension.

The Ferris wheel doesn't go 2.5 miles deep underwater though. And you can sit there and watch successful trips on the Ferris wheel before you decide to risk it.

Slow down, concentrate only on what you're doing, act deliberately.

The majority of housing in the USA requires a car. The nearest public transport option for me is 40 miles away.

If I did live in a city I would prefer to live near where I worked and shopped. Then I could get by without a car day-to-day, but would still want the freedom of a car for road trips.

I think that's admirable. Personally I'd rather just pay $1 per month or something and not see ads at all and have app access.
