And let's ban caffeine vapors in 2nd-hand caffeine inhalation (supermarket isles and all hot caffeinated beverages). Say, are you a mormon? Oh, and, of course, 2nd-hand alcohol inhalation by anyone smelling alcohol vapors under any circumstances. And don't forget gasoline vapors. What else can we ban that doesn't hurt anyone in marginally small amounts?
I would say "liberalism", but even in small quantities it has its hazards.
Oh, right. You're talking out of your lying ass. Why? Does it feel good to assert an alternate reality?
And then says:
You know how you can always tell when you're right? When the whiner who can't address the facts (like, say, books not being "abandoned" and Amazon's overall business growing like crazy) resort to lazy, juvenile ad hominem.
Considering World War II caused between 50 and 80 millions deaths, military and civilian, it would take a long time to equal that number even with tens of thousands of deaths per year now.
Oh come on, keep your arguments straight. Trump can't be a sleazy pussy-grabbing assaulter of women if he is a faggot. Faggots don't grab pussy. So, pick the correct talking point and stick with it.
Progressivism (aka US 'Liberalism'): Ideas so good they need a police/surveillance-state to enforce.
It's because the other side believes might makes right, and like to burn down black churches.
Sure. Ask James Damore about that.
All he had to do to invoke the SJW/"progressive" wrath was to quote actual scientific research debunking the idea of a discrimination-based "pay gap" between men and women.
Anndddd the biggest non-sequitur goes to....

That sounds reasonable but tend to not work out for non-trivial systems. It's better to always update, even in production, and detect failures and mitigate them.
You've had experience mitigating boot failures on 50,000 PCs, while every minute of downtime is costing the company many thousands of dollars?
But in that case there is a fourth and fifth and sixth party you can elect for.
in theory. In America, most people get their insurance from their employer, and have no choice..
Most do have a choice. People can choose to not get insurance at work, and instead get their own plan at an insurance company. Or at least, could a few years ago. Now with Obamacare, what was true may longer be the case.
But did you vote Johnson in a state that was already guaranteed to go to one of the primary lizards, or did you vote Johnson in a swing state? If the former, then you cannot be to blame. If anything, you should be commended for trying to usurp the guaranteed runner-up.
More people need to realize, that voting for lizard 2 because you are trying to vote against lizard 1, in a non-swing state that is solidly lizard 1, is the real "throwing your vote away".
Just had a conversation last night about which candidate we voted for. It was interesting.
Whoa, wait a minute there, your "statistically speaking" is awfully flawed.
And your claim of "That is because the number of locals looking at those maps far exceeds the number of non-locals looking at those maps." is any better?
You fail to take into account weighted values.
No I don't. You missed a lot of valid arguments.
It is way more likely for a Hungarian person to look at a Hungarian map than an American person looking at a Hungarian map (unless you're trying to invade Hungary too...).
1) Why limit it to Americans? That's a big assumption. Did I use the number of people in the US? No, I used the number of people in Europe. The ~730 million Europeans who do not speak Hungarian. As opposed to the ~10 million who do. How many of the non-Hungarian-speaking people of Europe use Google Maps to plan a trip across the continent? As opposed to how many Hungarian-speaking people use Google Maps to see Hungary? Or do you also assume that non-Hungarian-speakers make it a point to avoid Hungary?
2) One random national forest in Hungary was an example. The same situation happens with places in other countries across Europe. France: Parc Naturel Régional de la Forêt d'Orient is listed as such on the map, and the popup box has "Forêt d'Orient Natural Regional Park". So it is half translated. Google Translate gives the full translation as "East Forest Regional Nature Park", why not label it as such? Spain: ZEPA Sierra de San Pedro in western central Spain could simply be labeled as Sierra de San Pedro Bird Sanctuary, because that is what a "ZEPA" is. Ukraine: Actually has English names on the map for several of their national forests or preserves. Why can't Google do this for the rest? Others: I looked at several locations across Europe, and saw a great mix of the above examples, full local, mixed local and English, or full English. Limiting your argument to Hungarian based on my one previous example doesn't work.
According to your assumption, I guess the USA map names should be shown in Mandarin... or Hindi... or Spanish, because either of those languages is above English as a native spoken language. If you also count totals, then Mandarin it is.
Tell me where I said only use one language. Please, copy and past my statement to that effect. Or, maybe, I said that because I specifically chose "English" as the default language, places that have English translations should be displayed in English. If I chose Italian, I would expect the labels to be in Italian. If I chose Mandarin, I would expect Mandarin.
Google, are you reading this? We only need Mandarin labels in your Maps application.
Thank you for showing your level of intelligence. I wasn't sure about it before.
That is because the number of locals looking at those maps far exceeds the number of non-locals looking at those maps.
There are about 7.4 billion people in the world. There are about 740 million people in Europe. There are about 10 million people in Hungary, most of whom speak Hungarian. An additional 3 million people elsewhere speak Hungarian.
Statistically speaking, there are probably more people who do not speak Hungarian looking at those maps, than locals and native speakers.
Pointing the mouse at the label works? Good, you have a workaround. Stop being lazy.
Not all the features have the English version in the box. Not all features even have a popup box when you hover the mouse over them.
Of course, if I wasn't so lazy, I would just learn Hungarian, and avoid these difficulties in the future.
Open Google Maps in a new tab. Go to Europe. Zoom in on Hungary. Look northwest of Budapest. There is a green area named "Budai Tájvédelmi körzet". Pointing the mouse at the label, a box pops up with the English translation: Buda Landscape Protection Area -- I imagine the equivalent of a national forest or wildlife refuge.
So Google Maps knows the English version of the name, yet shows the local language on the map, despite my clear choice of English in the Settings page.
Besides, I already said that not every village will have an English-translatable name. Just like not every English, European, or American town has a name that translates directly into Chinese.

I actually think people should boil water in public places, just to show how stupid these laws are.
Bring a portable, battery operated teapot, let it boil for several minutes, then inhale the vapor and exhale.
Snowflakes' heads will explode.
You're gonna urinate on a goat's beard?

Hmmm.
I nominate this article for the most confusing wording of any Slashdot article this month.
We don't care which old guy said it, they both had some wisdom.
You're right. I usually traffic my drugghumans with pickup trucks.

Honestly, he started it.
It does seem like he is claiming both side of that issue.
