Get enough scratch and live in a 3rd-world country that doesn't do extradition, and you can get an entire flock of local women instead of having to throw a ton of money on just one.
Even a criminal is capable of being in love with someone.
Sorry, read your post wrong. I see where you're coming from, but is it dishonest to portray humans as the most peaceful race? I mean we do a lot of morally questionable things..
And for anyone not paying attention, contact was written by Carl Sagan and his wife Ann. Carl chaired a committee which selected the content of Voyager's golden record, which included a hello message from Carl's son and spoken greetings in various languages as well as music. He also helped design Pioneer's plaque.
Even if you know all that you may not know that there will be a sequel next year to Cosmos.
The new series, referred to as Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey , is slated to air on Fox sometime between Fall 2013 to Spring 2014.[10][11]It is to be hosted by astrophysicistNeil deGrasse Tysonand will be produced byAnn Druyan, popular science broadcaster and author, and Sagan's widow, along withSteven Soter, andSeth MacFarlane.
Competition is very tight between the main companies (sprint, t-mobile, AT&T) which means prices are comparable. It comes down to which has the features you want, with the most reliability and lowest price.
If you don't know, the United States does cell phone service differently than many other places. Here, you generally have your phone subsidized by buying a contract and that phone is then locked to the carrier, whereas (if I understand it correctly) in Europe you go buy a phone at full price then choose whatever carrier you want and pay monthly.
That's because "convential wisdom" (see peer-reviewed science) generally knows of only one disease that causes problems with cereals (gluten specifically) and that is celiac disease. Explain why we produce amylase in our saliva to break down starch if we are supposedly incompatible with it?
I'm not debating whether you feel better but there could be other reasons for that change. Just because YOU think you feel better when you do something means absolutely nothing, especially about humans and grains and our understanding of the interaction . I'm going to make an educated guess and posit that cutting out gluten would do nilch for most of us (obviously not counting celiacs...).
BTW you use the "conventional wisdom" of anthropologists to support your argument then you denigrate it in general as not being wise. Either you're misrepresenting what anthropologists are saying, or it's not the conventional wisdom of anthropology. Choose one.
there is a standing army behind the value of the American dollar. as long as that is true, the abstract representation of value that is the meaning of currency is as real as you ever will get. and that standing army makes a hell of a difference
As far as I know there have been several countries with powerful armys and hyper-inflated money in which you ruin the paper by printing notes.
He didn't lose the money when he got fired, I would say he lost it by not having a golden parachute.
And he wasn't very insightful, I mean, he named 3 specific events and a SINGLE reason he thinks contributed to why he was fired.
His reason is stupid. He's was a show-er (rigid non adapting thinker) and not a grow-er (some one who adapts and 'grows the brand') or a veteran (some one who grows a bunch).
Completely arbitrary and meaningless stuff. He sounds like he was working in an environment where hyperbole sold, just apparently not for too long.
Remember adblock users, disable adblock on web sites that rely on ad revenue to operate, and aren't greedy commercial goblins!
I always have respected Slashdot for allowing you to turn off ads, they get the non-greedy stamp. They're still commercial goblins, just respectable non-greedy ones.
I read an article about this same black hole yesterday. It talked about measuring the diameter of the black hole, yet even when I tracked down the press release I couldn't find a measurement
Any one see that figure?
I tried to use my laser rangefinder to measure it but it kept coming back infinity.
Motorcycles aren't about narcissism, they're about freedom. With the exception of Harley Davidson bikes, which are deliberately tuned badly to make noise, most of the good bikes (think Honda orr BMW) are actually pretty quiet, and, especially among older motorcycle drivers, they are far and above the most courteous drivers on the road, which seems kind of counter to the notion that they're narcissistic.
If Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is anything to go on, they're not narcissistic, they're philosophers who go insane when they come to the conclusion that quality is synonymous with the Tao.
Eye on the TV 'cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavour It happens to be like; Killed by the husband Drowned by the ocean Shot by his own son She used the poison in his tea And kissed him goodbye That's my kind of story It's no fun 'til someone dies
Remember in one episode of TNG, these guys named Binars (the ones who communicate with each other through auditory binary, like modems!) lure Riker away with a smoking hot holo-chick. Picard joins him, meanwhile the binars commit grand theft galaxy class.
Then they use enterprise to backup their data and reinstall their like, collective consciousness so they can save their people. THEN they justify it by saying basically "take what the fuck you need then apologize." Awesome.
Lithium is used for several drugs, and by removing the demand for lithium, those drugs may drop in price to the point they'll be more accessible to people in poorer countries.
I don't know for certain but I'd say the reasons which keep Depakote and other lithium mood stabilizers expensive have little to do with the supply of lithium.
I believe the maker of depakote actually just paid around two billion dollars. It works wonders for many and its properties were discovered by noting that at a certain sanatarium, patients with unstable moods were calmer, the water was tested and found to have high Li levels.
So... there's no actual sugar in it, just a carbon/sodium anode. So why call it a sugar battery? Pure asshattery of course!
It's in the same realm as calling coal fired plants "plant and/or solar" powered. In a way they're correct, but it comes off as an engineered distortion.

Some evangelicals believe the pope to be the anti-christ. It would confirm their theory.
It also says: They'll just adjust while they're flying if we have to do the move," Suffredini said.
I concur. Routine maneuver that's happening during a novel (kind of) situation. Irrelevant as far as I see, correct me if I missed something
Done with an Impala, kind of.
Even a criminal is capable of being in love with someone.
Or hedonistically in love with her body.
Is it hard to understand the difference between insignificant and meaningless?
Sorry, read your post wrong. I see where you're coming from, but is it dishonest to portray humans as the most peaceful race? I mean we do a lot of morally questionable things..
I think you mean Pioneer's plaque as it has pictures and Voyager contains analog audio recordings.
Funny thing, there was controversy about Sagan putting naked humans on it, god forbid!

How can you say:
you know what's worse than A? Ab!
When Ab is merely a specific part of A?
It's like saying: You know what's worse than murder? When corporations murder.
And it can lead to smug pollution. So come on people, lets be people now.

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
They don't show coffins coming home from the war any more either.
Untrue. That was a rescinded Bush policy.

I don't know for certain but I'd say the reasons which keep Depakote and other lithium mood stabilizers expensive have little to do with the supply of lithium.
Inflation adjusted prices of lithium have been stable since the seventies at just over 40$ per pound in 1998 prices, in 1998. I'd say the prices have to do with patents.
I believe the maker of depakote actually just paid around two billion dollars. It works wonders for many and its properties were discovered by noting that at a certain sanatarium, patients with unstable moods were calmer, the water was tested and found to have high Li levels.

"Remember, cruise control is NOT included with the cruise missiles."
The cruise just seems to happen, and the control is a state of mind.
