Was going to say the same thing, it's horrible that Malala got shot in the face but this isn't a Suffering At the Hands of Tyrants Award AFAIK.
And leaking proof that the NSA is spying on everyone on the planet and making a mockery of the US legal system > saying inspiring things in the name of women's education in a particular region of the middle east. Sorry.
They're not senile yet or have people to manage their money for them. For example Rupert Murdoch is known to run his supercars out of gas. This isn't the kind of forethought that would let him keep his money, if he were managing it himself.
Actual goose-stepping fascists are already getting footholds on power in Europe, isn't it funny how we never learn shit from history and just let the same things happen over and over again? LOLZ!
The US is either in for a depression and New Deal that will give a few decades of prosperity, or the Business Plot 2.0 will be successful this time.
Either a crash is coming or we can just ignore it and let it grow forever, either way it's one of the many unavoidable glitches of capitalism that will always exist regardless of how well you govern a country. So either accept that the number is meaningless and will continue to increase, or that a crash is coming and all you can do is try to survive it.
Imagine if the Democrats actually did something other than scream about Republicans wanting to destroy the Federal government. (For fuck's sake, a person would have to be completely batshit to believe any elected asshole wants that. Disclaimer: Pelosi is completely batshit.)
An elected asshole would also have to be completely batshit to actually want that. (Disclaimer: Tea Party-loyal Republicans are completely batshit).
However, post-9/11 we used to discuss the prospect of another shutdown and always concluded the same. Congress would be stupid to do it. The mechanics of the process made every federal building in the nation an incredibly enticing, super-target-rich environment for any nut job with a bomb or a gun who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory.
Did this remind anyone else of part of the plot of the last JJ Trek?
It's also responsible for most anti-US sentiment of the "I'm going to grab an AK and use it against you" grade (although the Drone Wars are now taking up a big share of it), giving the US military and MIC a threat to fight against so that it won't look like they have no reason for eating up so much of the US' tax dollars.
Whoever they are they would do well to remember the fate of the Stasi in East Germany when the wall came down and the people finally had their revenge.
They should remember that they might get involved in a little tousle in their HQ building, will all be free to live out the rest of their lives without trouble, or if they're lucky get cushy executive or high-ranking government jobs? OH NOES!
Not only that but what makes you think my view is right wing?
It sounds a lot like the "gay agenda/gay mafia" conspiracy theories that are floating around. Death threats are cheap and fly freely, but the only actual violence against a homophobic institution I know of is the FRC headquarters shooting.
That definition is correct but oversimplified. Tolerance in the political context is closer to the meaning of anti-discrimination - it involves disallowing prejudice, not simply allowance as the dictionary definition might suggest. This is why tolerating intolerance is anti-tolerance - otherwise the concept could indeed be made to collapse with a simple logic trick as many seem to think.
Maybe they switched from a full-featured site on an expensive hosting package that costs significant amounts of money per day to run to some little $50/yr package that has the closed page on it.
Would republican voters be happy if the next Republican president couldn't do anything the Democrats didn't like because the democrat led house or senate wouldn't pass a budget without demanding it be removed?
Luckily for them the Democrats don't have the balls to do that. Not saying it's a good or fair tactic, but the Democrats stupidly refuse to reciprocate to dirty fighting in a no-rules cage match to the death.
1/4 of gasoline is actually pretty close in terms of range since electric motors are over 3x, possibly close to 4x as efficient as an ICE. A 1:1 match in energy density would allow an EV to carry 3x as much energy.
Actually driving can lower your sperm count due to the heat. It helps if you have a vehicle with a "gentleman's vent" under the steering column...much more comfortable ^_^

Fuck them right in the ass. We don't need another service shitting up search results with paywalled data. Experts-exchange was bad enough.
I can't believe people fall for that. Just another tax on being bad at math, bring 'em on.

This will get you on the Naughty List. Be prepared.

Wait, are you serious?
LOL! I hope the people serving the notices have that same "just waiting for death" style of work!

In Somalia the government is already holed up in a compound in the capital, what are you waiting for!?!? Run to your paradise!

It's not a traditional lithium battery...hint: why don't ICE cars need to carry their own oxygen?
