jobs US citizens turn their noses up at

Jobs that typically don't pay enough for the cost to your body, health, and mental sanity. The overlords love the illegal immigrant stuff because it lets them put the thumbscrews to the workers, both in terms of downward pressure to the wages paid out, and in terms of desperation so the people without other options are forced to work in horrible conditions for terrible pay.

Unless the lovely javascript detects that you're trying to close the tab and hijacks that to ask you if you are sure you want to ~~forcefully tell them to fuck off and die~~ leave the page. It's only one extra click, sure, but I remember some from the old days that wouldn't let you close shit. Ugh, thank god for better modern standards and adblockers.

Jesus. How are you going to get to 8.8.8.8 belt licks?

(and please, for the love of god, don't use 8.8.8.8!)

Okay, I'm assuming that you are asking for evidence of the paying of adblockers to allow some ads through, and not for evidence that he fixed the typo he thought you were actually posting about?

Do a quick search for why we all now use ublock origin rather than ublock plus, and then for why we were using ublock plus rather than ublock, and then for why we were using ublock instead of adblock. There might be some adblock plus in the middle of that somewhere as well.

God, I can just see the wet dreams of an advertising exec now. If an australian bloke can replicate million dollar systems with $100, the advertising companies can surely wank out the money for license plate readers a quarter mile ahead of their billboard with good identification. The new electronic billboards already switch what ad they're showing every half minute or so now, and I bet they could do what ze big boiz do with the auctioning of ads.

I think right now most of the US doesn't allow random API access to license plate and registration data, but I really have no idea... How much do you think companies would ~~bribe~~ pay for some laws to be changed about that?

The way you word things matters. How many polls have shown the difference in opinion on 'obamacare' compared to 'affordable care act?'

But a subpoena is a not a thing cops do. They do not issue or execute subpoenas.

Eh, sort of. In an investigation, the cops (usually a detective/investigator since this doesn't involve street-level stuff) are using something called a grand jury subpoena. It's not the same thing as a subpoena issued by a court (which, by the way, are often executed by cops... usually something like a constable or marshal's office that works directly with the court). The cop types up the subpoena, which is usually incredibly basic and just says who the subpoena is for, what they want, and what the charge is or may be, and then brings it to the district attorney. The district attorney signs off on it, and afterwards the cop sends it off to the company (and it's 99.999% of the time a company, because the legalities about your dealings with a business make it much easier to obtain the information than other things in your life, meaning it 'bypasses' the legal rulings about searches). No judge involvement is necessary for these types of subpoenas.

Working from my memory, I can also sort of recall that the 'date' listed on those subpoenas isn't really tied to a specific court date either. The stock forms I remember the cops using just said that they gave the company a time limit of 'X.' I'd have to see the specific paperwork that was filed in order to say whether the prosecution truly overstepped themselves into illegal/unethical behavior.

Sort of like the natchez-trace highway in the south. It's got a speed limit of something like 50mph, and the cops loooove to sit on it. I want to do an ironbutt on it with my scooter, but that requires a 46.something average speed. There's a challenge there that I just love.

I'm jealous that you can put your hair up like that. Mine would tie itself in about 20 interesting knots and stay that way :D

I think 3 of the dozen or so public schools around where I grew up had uniforms (lucky me, I went to one of them, ugh), while every private school (90% of which were some flavor of christian) had them. Most were more along the lines of 'dress code' than uniform though. I'm remembering khaki pants and bland colored polos more so than the blazer/tie/coat thing. It's probably because it's hot as balls on leather in the sun around here, so anything more than that would be killing kids or the AC budget.

DAmnit! I thought my wildly eclectic bright red underwear with zippered pockets let me be queer enough in my sea of solid colored maroon/black/blue/and-the-one-odd-blue/green/brown/maroon-camo underoos. Now you're telling me I have to get a partner with drawings/designs?

Uh... is there something coming out of the bottom of that horse?
