        And the new facility that are being kept in has barbed-wire fences. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 13:18

- Dark Horse: Seattle. He's got his Cup and has experience being good as an expansion coach. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 18, 12:40 4
  - I certainly don't think he'd want to be in the "can we get a two-fer" position with the Caps. That was hard work. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 12:43
  - He wants a second shot at Gallant. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 12:42 2
    - Plus there was talk he wanted a raise during the SCF -- nm - Budice Jun 18, 12:42 1

Hey Pippy, regarding the post from a couple of days ago about my daughter's EP, just thought you might find this interesting. As originally conceived - pmb Jun 18, 11:38 1

        ok god...to bad... a photo of you next to him would have been fun... -- nm - Remlik Jun 18, 12:03 1

- If and when driverless cars become mainstream, this might be a good idea.... - Walt_Disney Jun 18, 13:02 1
  - Another side effect of the advent of driverless cars - Strongbad Jun 18, 13:52
- I understand the barriers; but there really is a need for it. as it stands now, the public ones are lacking and the alternative is ambulance-type - b. Jun 18, 12:54
- There are apparently 8 already, though for serious medical issues, cabulance service is expensive -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 18, 12:35
- Tangent: why are there more clothing lines for dogs than for disabled people? -- (link) - znufrii Jun 18, 11:43 1
  - One thing I read a while back (maybe through a link on ST) is that that elderly/disabled people want to buy everyday consumer products, not products - Roger More Jun 18, 11:54
- There is an immense need for such a service -- especially in rural areas. I'd totally join you in doing that. - ReluctantCynic Jun 18, 11:34
- I would guess most major cities have something like that already, as an extension of their public transit service? -- (link) - znufrii Jun 18, 11:33 6
  - Toronto does, but (for example) you have to have an in-person interview to use it, you can't use the service to get into a neighbouring city, - Roger More Jun 18, 11:40
  - There's paratransit. But my experience with those services - Strongbad Jun 18, 11:36 4
    - Here rides have to be scheduled 3 4 days in advance you need an hour window and God help you if your appointments not done when they come back to pick -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 18, 12:40
    - For example, I just checked Orlando's. There's a 4 page application process with a portion that is required to be signed by a Doctor. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 18, 11:43
    - I think you’re going to have a problem finding people willing to put in the investment to make their rides ADA compliant, without some sort of subsidy -- nm - znufrii Jun 18, 11:40 1
      - *calls Elon Musk* - Strongbad Jun 18, 11:47
- I'm pretty sure these exist, but they're pre-arranged. I know in Chicago there is public transportation that essentially does this. -- nm - pmb Jun 18, 11:33 2
  - we have that sort of thing too, it's called Wheel-Trans. but i don't think it's on-demand, like Uber. -- nm* - Andie Jun 18, 11:36 1
    - Right. It has to be pre-arranged. -- nm - pmb Jun 18, 11:39
- the insurance for that would be cost-prohibitive -- nm - Epiphany Jun 18, 11:29 6
  - Plus it being harder to recruit/train drivers, and the "users" not knowing what an app is. -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 11:33 1
    - The 2nd part of your subject is important. - Strongbad Jun 18, 12:28
  - More so than what they're paying for standard passengers? - Strongbad Jun 18, 11:32 2
    - The thing I'd be concerned about is that the moment you prove its worth as a business model, Uber/Lyft would move into the market. - Roger More Jun 18, 11:43
    - heh - yes I'd imagine so. More claims. Old people fall and get hurt more. Bigger type of injuries - Epiphany Jun 18, 11:43
  - ::charges $99.99 per mile:: -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 11:30
"... Trump had demanded that Russia be unconditionally restored to the G-7" -- (link) - mud Jun 18, 11:24 11

  - #FakeNews -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 12:50
- I can demand Chris Evans be brought to my door - ain't going to happen. Trump has no clout in this decision. He is such a child. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 18, 11:30 7
  - He replaced the beard with the porn stash though - eag Jun 18, 12:36
  - I'll arrange it, but it will be Top Gear Chris Evans -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 11:44 1
    - ::stern gays:: -- nm - Epiphany Jun 18, 12:01
  - Fine, I'll bring my husband for a visit. -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 11:33 2
    - He's not coming back - Epiphany Jun 18, 11:41
    - Incest? -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 11:33
  - ::readies the van... oh:: -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 11:30
- shocked. -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 11:25
B2: Is this vocabulary just me? (policy vs. law) - Strongbad Jun 18, 11:21 7
- Here is a way to conceptualize the policy framework ... -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jun 18, 11:31 5
  - Here, fixed it for you. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 11:33 3
    - Oh, right. Forgot that top part. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 18, 11:33 2
      - do you even lawyer dude? - Remlik Jun 18, 12:32
      - I wish I could! -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 18, 11:35
  - Graci. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 18, 11:32
