Atlanta seemed to have a lot of potential when I moved there in 2016... after a year living in tree-covered Midtown, even with work being within walking distance, I had to go. That city is a mess...
Some stores I go to used to have self-checkout and ditched it. I don't know if it was Union stuff or if people were stealing things, but I suspect the store was not seeing the savings it thought it would get. Not saying that's the case everywhere (obviously), just an anecdote.
My girlfriend's answer was that if you do a bunch of tests and repeatedly get negative or boring results, then when something new happens you're surprised. My answer is that it's media, and that scientists want to sound surprised so that they continue to get funding. Same reason you keep seeing the word "slammed"in politics all the time now: media spin. Media wants attention.
I've personally worked on tracing the stock when it was broken up to today, for cost basis reasons. I can tell you that some of the same people and assets came right back together again. It was like a vampire that was nearly dead but came back to life.
I don't know about other people, but I've been receiving marketing calls that all sound exactly the same as duplex, with the ums and uhs just like the demo. When asking any questions such as "where are you calling from?" Or "how's the weather over there?" there's a long pause and then a response. Ask again and the same calm thing comes up and says they're getting a manager.
I was talking with a friend the other night, and he opined that compromise should die, that technology can solve so many of the world's problems and we need to sweep people out of the way to get it done. Basically he wants technology to control and run things, to run people; in this instance there's just no way to get people to always go to another door. We might be able to measure it, but can we (do we want to?) MAKE people be optimized? DOesn't that kind of just make them machines?
It was a game on the IBM PC waaaay back in ~1985; the first platforming game I ever played, it had a few strange little twists on each board to overcome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Can anyone explain why mice needed to be studied when it looks like human studies were already done with a few different "types" (again, not a chemist here) of linalool?
The only news I see is that spray-on sunscreen doesn't do anything? I've been using it for years and years, and while the chemicals in it may cause premature aging I don't get sunburned using it, so... What gives?
The man sounds like Nixon. He may not actually BE paranoid, but with media making reality in TrumpWorld, the man sounds as paranoid and off the rails as Nixon (or more-so).
Wait wouldn't this mean that all the good programmers should have girlfriends?? But seriously, I have a whole collection of books on idleness and how enjoying that time is actually productive. I can see that laziness means one has resources, but is there another side to it? Some people are attracted to those who would rather get a lot or of life in different ways than money and resources....? If there are other idlers on slashdot I'd love to hear...
It seems to be the most used, and over-used, headline word lately. Everyone is slamming everything, and it comes across as flat and juvenile now. This isn't WWE or a dramatic Soap Opera episode.
This sounds just like L.A.'s requiring solar panels on every new home. Seen any new homes being built in L.A.? Yeah, me either. No land, price is too high. If anything, this will drive UP the value of existing homes since they aren't subject to this new requirement. Law of unintended consequences, or just sly political maneuvering? You be the judge, slashdot.
What's left? Um... try not dividing the country into two extreme camps, demonizing people for one tiny choice they made (whatever the current implication), that's what. Start there, I suspect things will get better.
If theaters would show interesting movies then I would do this. Years ago I was a member at Cinefamily. Google it, place in Los Angeles; they have couches in the first few rows! Weird, awesome movies with commentary, q&a, things which any theater really could do. If theaters want more money, a better experience starts with engaging movie-goers instead of treating them like mindless cattle. Many might be, but many of us want to see interesting movies instead another marvel film.
Has the study been replicated? Have the conclusions been replicated? Looks like a small British study about 15 years ago did; it brought the Stanford experiment results into question, perhaps. Can someone with more background than mine explain what larges implications this could have for psychology, other than the fact that people are supposed to be corrupted by power and have a bias toward tyranny/oppression, and that prisoners begin to "like" the guards (I believe that was this study)? Thanks!
She's already doing that, and the Marvel idiocy is what's killing Star Wars. Seriously, there have been one or two OK Marvel movies, while the rest have basically been filler. They're lowering the standard for movies and it isn't pretty.
This is exactly what I was thinking while watching Solo. I had eeriest sense that, while I don't watch Marvel movies, Solo was basically a Marvel movie. Solo was ok, fun, but... it kind of seemed to be lacking something. Heart? I dunno. The acting (except for Lando) felt kind of cold and lackluster.

He sounds like Trump.
People should say the same of Trump: stop feeding him attention.

Maybe there was something wrong with it, but the following was done 20 years ago:

Perhaps unsurprisingly I read this as "deepFLAKE" instead.
Oh I do so hope it's the one that's falling down!

Why? Well Bush 2 did it with the TSA. Look how effective that's been. It's the way you do things on Capitol Hill nowadays.
Pork pork pork...
I got my first troll reply!! I am SO excite!

Checked a bunch of spray on sunscreen? Both chemicals. Been using the stuff for years... Makes me wonder what I've been doing to my body.

well at least you've got one part of the "Sad, Mad, Glad" exercise down that the therapist recommended. Keep it up!
