Patriot mode works fine for the larger states, but is practically impossible to hit the small states, like Rhode Island.
The test was fairly tedious and annoying. Long pause in-between, keeps resetting location and zoom level, etc. The annoyance takes any fun out of it.

Pinching someone's bottom does not make him a threat in the first place.
Rape in the military has little to do with "following orders". Those can be reasons the rapes aren't getting prosecuted like they should be, but that's not the half of it. Military females absolutely are held down and raped by force, all-too commonly.
It's a simple fact that men are considerably stronger than women, and trying to deny this just makes you look utterly foolish. See my other response... Check Olympic weight-lifting records for a quick and easy comparison. Or just look at ANY SPORT, where women must have their own division, since the very best of them can't compete with the worst of the men... The only exception is long-distance running, where women's lower body weight nearly compensates for reduced strength.

And yet folks took credit for Waterworld, Highlander II, Battlefield Earth, Catwoman, Gigli, etc.

I'm sure I'm way better at math than him... Ladies...?

Here, there are DEFINITELY clothing restrictions mentioned prominently in the juror summons, though they're a bit subjective. I guess this just means it's likely Vermont is going to start including those instructions, now, too.

I wasn't suggesting switching to couches, they'd be more expensive, have shorter life, and be very hard to keep clean. It was just a comparison. There's still no excuse for the uncomfortable seats, shared arm-wrests, etc.
And frankly, as much as we pay for airline tickets, and as often as flights get delayed, canceled, and airports get completely snowed-in, airports SHOULD be providing something their customers can sleep on... They spend huge amounts of money on the high ceilings, they can afford to expand their boarding areas to accommodate customers that need to lie down. After all, security measures since 2001 have eliminated the problem of homeless living inside airports, so it's only verified paying customers past the checkpoint. And with the shops in there, the airports stands to make more money out of it, while customers save money on overbooked lodgings.

Airport seating is always horrible, I desperately wish they'd fix that. Layovers of a few hours are miserable because the seats are so tough, at a non-relaxing angle, sharing armrests with neighbors, etc. Honestly, a series of couches wouldn't take up any more room, and would be infinitely more comfortable.

I was always interested in trying it, but I could never find 8 CDs I wanted enough to be worth the hassle.
I've heard horror stories of people who signed-up, then their requests to cancel got ignored, repeatedly, until physical threats, sending back something disgusting, or making the envelope incredibly difficult to open, finally got them off the list of chumps.

Complete nonsense. I was specifically talking about those with a job, not Welfare anything... And my point isn't that the poor aren't poor, but that people who you'd say are doing okay just by looking at them, are counted as below the poverty line in the US, but wouldn't be counted as such, elsewhere.

Umm, there already ARE 8-bit Jurassic Park video games. The movie came out in the 16-bit era, and 8-bit systems (e.g. Game Gear) were still popular enough to get a port.

10) America comes off looking bad on poverty only because the poverty level in the US is set higher than anywhere else. You can have a couple cars, a nice house, TVs in every room, secure job, etc., and still be counted as impoverished.
9) High illiteracy rates are greatly inflated by the large number of immigrants, who don't even have English as their first language.
8) Levels of belief are commonly cyclical, this decline could easily turn around in a few years. The US is still by far the most religious 1st world country.
7) Apple only has more cash reserves (sitting around, doing nothing) than the Fed. The US Fed has an annual income of somewhere around 6 trillion USD... Apple does not.
5) It's increased life expectancy that has changed common causes of death. You won't likely die of cancer or heart disease if you're only going to live to 50 due to other causes, anyhow... They usually take longer than that to become critical.

If you want to be seriously pedantic, see constant misuse of: "healthy" e.g: "Ostrich burgers are healthy!"
No they aren't. The ostriches may have been healthy, back before you turned them into burgers, but that doesn't affect me in any way.
If you meant "Eating ostrich burgers will make you healthy" the word to describe that is "healthFUL". e.g: "Vegetables are healthful." Nothing dead can ever be "healthy."
It's not some long-lost word, it's just plain incorrect conjugation... Like someone saying "You're very beauty."

I don't think ANYONE actually uses either "mm" or "dd" at all, unless forced to do so. mm/dd implies you add a leading zero for single-digit months/days, which I've never seen anyone do on real-life paperwork. It makes sense on computers, but that's about it. Similarly, most people abbreviate the year to two-digits. Was anyone here really taught to write the date as 09/09/1999?
Instead, m/d/yy is commonly used in the USA. Though I often prefer to write the 3-letter month to avoid any possible confusion... Eg. Jan/7/2025. And across the world, on computers, anyone sane only EVER uses YYYY-MM-DD, since nothing else will sort correctly.

The disc-in-the-mail business model is interesting... People PAY Netflix to do the job of cleaning all their grimy DVDs for them.
