I will use the phone for actual voice conversations. However the amount of robocalls and advertising has trained me to not accept any call if I don't know the number. I have refused to answer the phone for someone who turned out to be a coworker for intance. My reasoning is that if the call is important they will leave a voice mail. But then most of the voice mail is just too, but at least I can filter it out at a preferred time instead of on demand. Not everyone I want to contact me can text me.
I'm really surprised that in the US we've gone from a society that used phone calls regularly to one that shuns them almost completely in less than a decade.
Legislators rarely write legislation anymore, instead they get pre-approved proposal legislation directly from lobbyists. It's amazingly unlikely that the MEPs felt that there was a problem on the internet that needed these particular "fixes" on their own. Occam's Razor says it's more likely that the big content and IP owners wanted a change and started handing out money.
For a long time, and still in effect, is a strong paternalistic approach to aid. The aid recipients are treated more like children unable to handle their own affairs. If a small US business asked for a loan then they'd get a cash payment if approved; but for foreign aid that money comes with heavy requirements, restrictions, and hurdles. Then add in political nonsense and you're forbidden from using that money for sex ed and other things some senators find controversial.
This is a development program. It's not going to people out of work from the auto industry, it's going to third world developing countries. Not enough food to go around, with more people than available jobs (all of which are in the city rather than rural villages).
However in this particular story about tribal lands there are additional legal issues involved. There are "Lifeline" subsidies involved here, and the FCC was using incorrect data in its attempt to remove the subsidies.
I'm not so sure. There are some qualities I want in leaders that go beyond the petty policies I care about. No one should be a single-issue voter, and there will never be a perfect candidate, so there must always be a complicated decision to make no matter who is running.
There's also a lot of hypocrisy going on as well, or disingenuous defense of once choices. Ie, evangelical voters who claim that although they don't like Trump as a person and are appalled by his behavor and dislike many of his policies, they still voted for because he promised more religious liberties. Was that really the one and only factor they were concerned about? Did they think through some distorted fantasy that Clinton, a devout church goer, was going to abolish their liberties? Did they think back to Bill Clinton who they condemned for not having good enough morals before they turned around and voted for someone with even less character?
I'm not going to vote for someone I despise, even if they have some policies I like. The ends to not justify the means. I'd rather preserve my self dignity than to vote for someone I despise, and I'd rather preserve the dignity of the country. Some policies are more important than others of course, some are vital. But most of these policies poeple get hung up on are relatively minor or which can't be unilaterally changed.
Well the terms get used in many contexts. Which is why I listed master/slave cylinders. In general a master/slave means that one entity controls the others in one direction only. Such asn SPI bus, the master device controls the clock and initiates the data transfer through the chain of devices. You also have MCU with a master clock from which the other clocks are derived. In railroad contexts you can have multiple locomotives where one is what the human operator controls and the other locomotives are linked to do exactly the same as the master locomotive.
In some contexts I have seen master/worker instead. Such as worker nodes in a distributed system.
In any case, these are not politically incorrect words. If one was forbidden to say master or slave then how would one teach history in schools? Would the Bible be rewritten to say "Remember that you were uncompensated involuntary workers in the land of Egypt..."
I'm pretty sure the act he was bragging about was grabbing a woman's person without her permission. And last I checked that was illegal. I don't know why you keep mentiongint the FBI. I never said I have evidence he did that, only that Trump himself claimed to do this. Not sure why the FBI would care about a misdemeanor either.
Even then, if there's 80-90% approval amongst Republicans, that just means they like policies he's enacting but it does not mean they like him as a person or want him near their daughters.
But these are the accurate terms here. Just because human slavery is evil shouldn't have any bearing on whether you have a master cylinder versus a slave cylinder. It doesn't promote or denigrate slavery, it is completely neutral.
Is the concern that saying "slave" is a trigger word?
Anyway, I remember old textbooks where you had father and son nodes, and that changed almost universally to be parent/child way back before political correctness arose.
Some? I saw tons of dismay across the board. It didn't take long though for Republican leadership to start praising Trump.
I find so many things ironic and hypocritica. Bill Clinton not being good enough to be president because of bad character and poor morals (this was a louder criticism than criticism over his policies). A couple decades later and someone with worse character and morals is being promoted by the exact same people (led by hypocrite-in-chief Gingrich).
There's a wide swath of people in any party. In the past I generally ignored what the wingnuts on the far left and far right though, they were in the minority. Lately though, the extremists in both parties seem to have gotten a hold of the controls.
There are people who honestly think stuff like that. I see this a lot in immigrants who assume the US government is just as authoritarian as in the old country But it's even more surprising to me that citizens born and living here for decades still seem to think the same way. The fact that more people show up to vote in presidential years than other years shows that they seem to think that the presidential election is more important than congressional elections.
And this really wasn't that political. Dismay at Trump being president has nothing to do with being opposed to Republicans or not. Even many Republicans were dismayed that Trump was elected.
This sort of thing happened at many companies, there are indeed employees concerned about their immigration status, if their green card was going to get revoked.
Hmm, what? How is this relevant. Trump spoke on tape claiming to do this. I didn't say he actually did this, though I would be inclined to belive so. I am not attempting to get Trump arrested and not claiming he committed a crime. I'm merely responding to the post that claimed all presidents go out and grab pussy and therefore if Trump had done this it's not something to criticize him over. I'm disagreeing and claiming this is most certainly not normal activity and not legal activity and bragging about doing this is a clear sign of major moral failings. Even just bragging about grabbing someone's genitals when you didn't do it is still a moral lapse.
I have no compulsions about libeling the president, but I did no such thing in that post.
If this were P.E. and the rule was everyone has to participate, everyone would probably assume it really meant that those with disabilities would have a different set of goals or requirements. The same should apply to in classroom activities as well, the "everybody" means everybody except those with real problems. No one is insisting that those with a mental illness that prevents speaking in front of the class is still required to do so.
However a difference needs to be made between those with merely a case of stage fright and those with actual anxiety disorder. If there's actual anxiety then an expert should be consulted here, not just a home diagnosis or a self diagnosis. If you can't do the task then bring a note from a doctor.

So half scams and half spam then?

This is why they did the study rather than relying on gut instincts.
This is a development program. It's not going to people out of work from the auto industry, it's going to third world developing countries. Not enough food to go around, with more people than available jobs (all of which are in the city rather than rural villages).
And yes, we have residents in this country who are indeed that stupid.
That's because the surge isn't the same uniform height everywhere. It is up to the second floor of some houses in lower lying areas.
If someone willfully ignores the evacuation orders, then they should be charged a fine if they later need rescuing.

I'm just a centrist and not registered with any party, I can't keep my terminology straight when I don't go to any party meet-ups.
WingNut is also Peter Jackson's movie studio, so you know there's fantasy involved with the term.
Even then, if there's 80-90% approval amongst Republicans, that just means they like policies he's enacting but it does not mean they like him as a person or want him near their daughters.
I'm saying that bragging that he did an illegal act is not illegal.
Lord and serf.

This is an advertising driven web site. Whipping up the masses to fight each other is how you make money in the new economy.
Well, they did so realizing what a gold mine a Trump presidency means for the comedy industry.
