Re:I smell BS
Yep, even the configuration window says it's the default (link to a screenshot from elsewhere): https://msegceporticoprodasset...

Re:Here's the important missing bit:
Please link the evidentiary documentation of your claim that battery cells require replacement within a 5 year period as opposed to the 10 year lifespan modeled by actual testing: https://vectorwebstoreprd.blob... Also, I can't speak to every company but all of the businesses I've worked for would accept a 100% ROI of less than 2 years and anything returned above and beyond the initial investment would be pure profit..

Re:Your insight
, it's estimated that there are only about 2000 actual white supremacists in the US.
nope.
Sorry mate, you got nothing.
Furthermore, you're citing a poem as evidence of... what?

Promoting the leftist agenda
I look forward to seeing Antifa accounts suspended.
Good luck with that.
A fuckton of people are on Gab after getting kicked off of twitter, and are running a thread Not Allowed on Twitter.
I realize this is probably a biased sample, but there's a lot of "*this* got me kicked off, while *that* is allowed" posts that highlight the double-standard.
It would seem that left-leaning posts are taken with a wink and a smile, while right-leaning posts are censored with an overreaching iron fist. It's often completely mysterious what twitter standards are violated; apparently talking about and linking to someone twitter doesn't like (such as Milo) is enough to get you banned, even if the actual text is pedestrian such as "I saw this guy speak last night and he was OK".
There was one post that came out completely against Nazis (saying things like "Nazis are bad, I don't condone nazis, and the like) and apparently used the word "nazi" too many times and got banned. All from completely unexciting text.
Here's an example of a post that's *allowed* on twitter.

Re:Card tables?
Not to mention, the ping pong table is a bad idea where it's placed.
Every time a ping pong ball is missed, it will bounce on the concrete floor for one minute and it will roll 75 feet away. This is neither good for the employees actually working because of the distraction, nor is it good for the employees that are actually playing (unless they're Olympic level ping pong players). This problem could have easily been handled with some carpeting and some glass partitions.
Same goes for the movie watching/presentation screening area. The screen is obviously too small to be watched by everyone. But the visual distractions and the sound distractions that come out of that area will be one more source of distractions.
The problem with this space is that their original intent may have been to start a co-working space. Since most of their customers are bloggers, it would make sense that they do that. But then, no place seems to have been assigned to their actual employees. There is no place to put work artifacts, no place to meet privately. Like you said, there are also no large external LCD monitors. There is not even a bean bag or a small table that I could take to the side of the room so I could work without getting interrupted. A large public train station has actually better amenities than this place.

Meanwhile, back in the USA
Apple is making Gab jump through flaming hoops to get their mobile app published. They've repeatedly come up with new reasons that are utterly nonsensical like concern trolling about porn, abusive users, harassment, etc. despite a) allowing Twitter, Tumblr, etc. and b) those allowed services having notorious problems that are cheerfully ignored by Apple. In fact, Apple is all but saying "if your site doesn't work the way we want, your users cannot have an app." One of their responses.

Re:Capacity is growing faster than money supply
QE freed up the money supply but didn't really expand it in general. QE mostly just exchanged low-liquid assets for higher-liquid assets.
Wow, check out the money supply graph (ignore the political text at the bottom if you like).
The reason inflation didn't happen with that huge money supply increase is because money velocity decreased at the same time (I don't really understand why). -
Re:Banned for 1 year?
Would you just please STFU?
Firstly, the debt.
Secondly, we run the currency, and currency manipulation goes a long way.
Lastly, as the adage goes, if I owe you a million dollars and can't pay, I have a problem.
If I owe you one trillion dollars and I can't pay, YOU have a problem. -
Re: tag removed
No problem with the "living bastard^Wstandard" HTML, that doesn't check shit and allows you to put random invented-on-the-spot tags, attributes and even syntax in there and still renders the tag shit soup... in a completely random way of course. Like it's HTML 3.2 all over again. (And back then it was the same group of people causing the mess too... nowadays known as the WhatTheFuckWG.)
Just write a <blink> tag anyway. No need to close it if you don’t want to. Then, thanks to CSS3, you can even make it blink again, by adding the following style:
.blink { animation: blink 1s steps(5, start) infinite }
@keyframes blink { to { visibility: hidden } }
Or how about recreating the entire Star Wars intro (including the star destroyer) in pure CSS? Blinking. With disco strobes.Because the early days of Flash didn’t give us all enough nightmares already...

Re:PR perhaps?
I live in JP too. This is what the government website is telling me about radioctivity in my area 211km away from the Fukushima power plant as the crow flies in Saitama Prefecture. These readings appear to be supported by many independent sources too. While readings peaked for two 2hr periods at 1.2uSv/h on March 15th, they've remained relatively low. From what I gather; the United states has up to twice this level of environmental radioactivity with apparently no harm. While I'd prefer to see no I-131 and C-137 detectable in my tap water, these levels are obviously not harmful and in fact I-137 peaked at 37 Bq/kg, so the trend is encouraging (nothing like an 8 day half life!). Anyway; I think this may have already been posted on slashdot and while not fully reliable, might help to at least give some perspective on the level of contamination at this stage.
However; in the immediate area (i.e. 30-40km radius from the plant), obviously things are different and it is most likely going to be many years before life is returned to normal - that much is undeniable. Fortunately unlike Chernobyl the reactors have an extra protective casing and have only experienced damage to fuel as opposed to a full meltdown at this stage, but the situation is obviously critical. Although they've restored electricity, highly radioactive water used to cool spent fuel rod pools and reactors has found it's way into turbine rooms where many controls are located meaning they are unable to test what equipment still works. Worse still, this water has also been leaking into the ocean. At least they have changed water used to cool reactors etc from sea water to fresh water, which eliminates corrosion fears, but even this problem will crop up again once they start using boric acid to absorb neutrons.
So basically it's a critical juggling act of keep the spent fuel rod pools and reactors cool, while diverting water from control/turbine rooms & the ocean, all while trying fix/restart in particular cooling systems. Furthermore; trace samples of plutonium were discovered in the immediate location suggesting leakage from reactor 3, which was using MOX fuel.
Even with all that in mind, I'd struggle to see how travelers to China could bring in enough radiation to be harmful unless they'd ignored the 30km exclusion zone and spent a day or two in the affected area before boarding their flight... I also have to wonder how they destroyed their luggage... boric acid bath? It would have knocked any insects they'd inadvertently brought in!
Anyway; I feel our immediate concerns should really be directed toward communities of north-eastern Japan devastated by the massive post-quake tsunamis...

Re:PR perhaps?
Detectors in Hiroshima are picking up no radiation whatsoever.
Good to know that China has better detectors tho.

Re:PR perhaps?
They are close to Japan. The plant is throwing up 24/7 for the last month or so.
Lets take an actual look at the data around Japan and see whether it matches up.
In particular, lets look at data from (courtesy of) Hiroshima (inland, southwest), Tokyo (east coast), Fukuoka (coastal, southwest), and Osaka (south).
All of those show near zeros across the board for environmental radioactivity-- with the highest reading @ Tokyo a mere 2% of the "notify your local official" level. Of them, only tokyo has detectable radiation in its water.
Im not nuclear scientist, but I think its fair game to call shenanigans when folks a thousand miles away start claiming that the radioactivity skipped over Hiroshima and landed in China.
