Asking for physical proof of God's existence is like asking Bilbo Baggins to prove the existence of Tolkien.
Nice try, the op wasn't talking about Deism - a creator that started existence and then never interfered is an untestable and irrelevant claim. It's simplicity itself to show that every actual testable claim of a religion, say the abrahamic ones, are in fact false - starting with the mitochondrial and DNA proof that Adam and Eve never existed and right up through blond hair, blue eyed jesus is unlikely to have even existed because that's not how people of the region looked and further there are no contemporary mentions of him in the literature. It's also entirely possible to show that medical outcomes don't favor any religion, so if praying to any or no god gets you the same medical benefits then obviously the "guy in the sky" gives no fks or any worldly benefits if you lick his boots or not. But ignore all factual evidence, or the sheer insanity of the claims, and do go on about your psychosis, please.
The entire database of these 12m customers history was stored, unencrypted, on tapes (of all things in 2012), then just lost? I was going to make a snarky comment but rtfa just in case and it didn't disappoint:
One possibility that was canvassed by KPMG is that the drives weren’t secured properly and fell from a truck in transit that was carrying the data for destruction. Forensic investigators hired to assess the breach retraced the route of the truck to determine whether they could locate the drives along this route, but were unable to find any trace of them.
Literally they say it may have fallen off the back of a truck, and here I thought that was only ever hyperbole for theft. Well, I'm glad that irresponsible phase is behind them and their rigorous adherence to data security and unparalleled altruism when it comes to customers will carry them forward.
In northern Minnesota there is a large national park with pristine wilderness, scenic 500 foot bluffs, and crystal clear lakes popular for fishing and many have over 15 feet of water clarity. It's a popular camping spot, but they only let in a few people per day and make you watch a video of how to leave no trace since it's so untouched. The video says "it's a pristine wilderness, so let's keep it that way."
You can't eat the fish.
Mercury contamination from coal power as far away as china has polluted the lakes to the point many of them aren't safe to eat the fish, or it's a small portion per month.
It's a half barrel per bus per day. There are 100k busses or so in the US so that's 50k barrels per day from the summary. The us consumes 20 million per day so a back of napkin approximation is 1/400th or 0.25% of us oil consumption. That's probably enough to make a small difference. Add in cars and it could be much more significant. Of course it's only as clean as the power it's fed, but solar and wind have less impact per kWh than fossil fuels by far, even with grid charging.
It's not forced equality, nor equality of outcome. Simply equality of opportunities, something staunch conservatives agree with along with the more clear headed liberals.
Yes, but more specifically we spend blood and treasure only to enrich millitary contractors and American corporate interests abroad which socialized the costs and privatizes the profits. The tens to hundreds of thousands of foreign civilians killed directly, and the millions indirectly through unnecessary sanctions, only helps perpetuate the business model while steadily eroding civilian world support for America.
We are just being lightly screwed, we had some protection at least. I'm pretty sure without neutrality, given the near complete monopoly/duopoly structure in nearly all areas, it's going to be a full on kidnapping, bloody wrists and feet manacled to a poorly lit, moist, and dirty industrial basement, where the only release will be the fond memories of just occasional light sodomy.
While I'm sure the monopoly ISPs enjoy let's them give no fks, I'm confident they will do a slow boil on us frogs. Without rioting in the streets, it will be much easier on them if suddenly the senate and/or congress flips blue later this year.
Republican or democrat or independent dosent matter. Only vote for candidates that take refuse all large donations, all corporate money, and use none of thier own money. I guarentee the bullshit will end almost immediately. Then force them to make big money in politics illegal. 96% of the population believes money is causing problems, so it's clearly a bipartisan issue.
If you pay them enough, but don't change how the economy works, all it would do is make the meat unaffordable and the plant would close or dramatically scale back operations. There is a solution, but simply forcing the plant to pay more isn't it alone.
Here is an example from today. 97 workers arrested by ICE from a meat packing plant, jobs no American wants because of how brutal they are, yet we all depend on their labor for cheap meat.
Tesla batteries last in part because of the advanced temperature control. They are kept warm in the winter, and cooled when you are flooring it, hot lithium batteries don't last long and cold ones don't perform well till they warm up. That's why the leaf is bad in some situations as a very cold or hot pack hurts performance and lifetime accordingly. A second strategy is to not fully charge or discharge them, using only a fraction of the battery pack capacity. This also extends life quite a bit and is used by virtually all electric car manufacturers. Here is a good article on a particular cell the tesla uses. Tesla, like several others, use cells that are more robust to abuse with a long life at the expense of actual capacity at high discharge rates, but it's a good tradeoff price wise even though the cells are more expansive. Not covered here is the long term stability of the cells as not a function of cycles but one of cycles and time. Just like any battery they age even if not used. You may get a whopping 35 thousand charges if you go from 80% to 20% capacity but that's not the case if you wait 10 years and store the battery properly. So take this article with a grain of salt because it does not have an actual time component other than couple of years it takes to get the data. These cells haven't been around 20 years so one needs to extrapolate and guess as to the actual long term viability.
Liberal arts degrees are a waste of money, like psychology or music degrees. Get them only if you want to lower the barrier of entry to low paying jobs you might find attractive I've personally. A 4 year liberal arts degree will get you that 11 dollar an hour office job before a high school diploma, that is what hiring managers look for in young people. Try getting the office job earlier and you will find upward mobility restricted with your lack of skilled labor due to lack of education as the reason. I got an engineering degree and founded a successful robotics company, something that wouldn't have been possible outside a graduate engineering college setting. I now make nearly 10x the minimum wage worker and have no problem getting jobs despite being in my 40s. Incidentally, most of my undergrad and all of my graduate school was free because I was employed by the university and have no debt. I'm rich, I want others to have the same opportunity.

It's obviously a side effect of fluoride in the water.

*smiles* and says cheerfully "I don't want to die" right in the video. Good one.
Pressureize the chamber and let them get high as they pass out. It relieves stress and creates a drunk feeling.
To find out, you mustache how much it costs.
Then you must comb over and get treated.
Not just events, how long before giant glowing eyesore ads appear around cities everywhere, every evening?
I guess this means thier kids will be pulled out of school That ought to teach them a lesson.

He must be a coding genius to mechanically obstruct the fan with linux. Maybe he should have tried to losen it up with free BSD.
Did I miss something?
Yes. Tomorrow's article will be applying this "AI" to lootboxes.

I'm sure those pesky rules are being repealed as we speak. All this consumer protect^h^h^h^h over regulation is killing the industry.
You forgot cellular (how much a month??!?)

You read it wrong. Stealing from his bank account will allow the people he grifted to regain thier loss easier.
