They would all buy from the same vendor to keep from prolonging the acquisition phase and to avoid digging deep into the details. Oh Diebold!? Sweet, sign us up...you guys are secure, right? They will just equate the big corporate mutli-national name with warm assurances, assuming they are a safe bet. What they will get is a new voting kiosk with the same software from 2007. This is a joke...all of it.
What you post is partially true. There is a more serious problem. I was absolutely working my ass off at the gym for years and would hit plateaus and really struggled to control my weight. I was "eating healthy" or far healthier than your average American for instance--with restricted calories tracking every morsal. Eating refined sugar triggers your body's metabolic systems to immediately store fat. Not because you are eating too many calories but because of a chemical reaction that is thrown like a switch. One can of coke is too much added sugar for one day. Most people, even those who do not drink soda, are getting way more sugar than their body can handle. How many people have you talked to who said they lost weight by eliminating soda? Add up the calories and convert it to the equivalent weight gain/loss and you will see that there is no way the calories alone could have solved for the lost/gained weight.

Millennials have totally different values and it is refreshing. It used to weird me out because I wondered why my son was so responsible and sensible about things. I though, why the hell isn't he sneaking out of the house and doing drugs or trying to harass girls, or pranking the neighbors. WTF is wrong with him?! Come to find out that this is quite common to teenagers and young adults these days. Supposedly they are cognizant of the influence of the social media and its ability to capture their bad behavior and preserve it for all to see. Certainly would explain why my teenager seems so much more mature than me.
Hell, just trying to design a system is enough to fail miserably. We home-schooled my son and didn't do anything structured...he picked up everything he needed to know. He wanted to go to school after being out for years so he dropped right back in without missing a beat. He realized the amount of drama and stupidity that was ensuing each day and wanted back out. Back to home school for a while, tried to force him into algebra and other stuff...he wouldn't have it. Tried private school and he is having a ball and didn't miss a beat. The fact that we did nothing structured at all still astounds me when these public schools are all running around with their hair on fire trying to devise how to teach kids and get test scores up. Try this: Talk to them like they are intelligent, independent human beings and let them guide their own course. My guess is that this would never work in a state-run institution--so sanity is off the table.
Sending my son to a Christian private school...no one talks about the Bible or anything. It is a marketing thing that will slowly fade. they have a serious science program too. The kids would probably burn them at the stake for spouting a creationist curriculum.
I got a set of Sennheiser's PC 350 SE for like $60 a few years back. At first I thought they were overblown crap because they lacked the bass of most other headsets. After using them for a wide range of audio I have realized that everyone else is producing bass-y crap...the sound quality in these is very crisp and clear and they deliver bass when the audio track actually contains the signal.
Their cheap wireless keyboard/mouse combo is the best they have. I picked up two new ones for $20 at an office supply store one day. Their pricier product lines are absolute trash. The sysadmins paid about $150 for their high-end combo (for everyone in the company) and the letters wore off in about a year for anyone doing real work. Ergonomics also sucked.
I was surprised at the amount being so low. The company I worked for was acquired for $147MM+. We didn't make anything...just a slight fintech marketing shop.
This false dichotomy is really annoying. Plumbers, welders, truck drivers, etc should all be educated. Will they desire to plug through the nearly useless drudgery of a masters degree or PhD? Hell no. They sure as hell should be exposed to advanced mathematics, literature, theories of supervision, accounting, exponential growth, and a host of other things required to keep them from getting duped by fake news and other fucking liars. People in the trades learn to think, probably more than your average college student, but they should also be equipped with historical context and a background in the hard sciences so their ability to think is bolstered by knowledge humanity has striven for centuries to learn. Deciding that someone else does not need that knowledge is inhumane. Unless all you want is a bunch of robots easily programmable by FOX/CNN.
We have run-away chronic disease spreading across the world because people are starving themselves. Fat people in America and other countries are starving for the proper nutrition. It defies the visual evidence but it is true. The nutrients you need to replenish brain cells and other metabolic processes is not present in fast food and most of the convenience foods marketed as healthy. Foods that make you fat and miserable are labelled as safe. Ramen noodles for instance, a staple of poor college kids, is nothing but refined flour and egregious amounts of sodium. Full belly and starvation.

Story is an eye roll just from the headline. Move on.
Except for the few neck beards that hang around here, most people love Windows 10. You guys are waaaay off base.
So insert a proxy server between your Windows 10 PC and the internet and find out.
Thousands of refurbished corporate laptops and desktops...yes. Most are in perfect condition and have gobs of RAM and modern CPUs.
Windows 10 has been gathering intelligence on Windows 7 for some and is nearly ready to make its move.
Thanks. I needed a deep laugh.
I keep hearing about poop on the streets...Im starting to believe this is really a thing.
It builds character.
I report not giving a fuck.

Bought a samson directional mic years ago with a USB interface. Perfect for pod casts and videos.

Thought this was creimer....had to check the name.

whoooosh!!
Why is this modded down? Perfectly sensible analysis that no one else came up with.
Agreed...brown rice, ham, eggs, peas...all cheap and a hell of a lot better than Ramen.
