In Britain, good quality health care is free. In the US, you can't afford it. The same applies to a lot of other things - what happens if your employer goes bankrupt, or your boss sacks you because he doesn't like your haircut? You need to add a lot - maybe 30-50% - to a US salary to get equivalent UK salary.
Yes, but don't they take the difference out in taxes?
For the people to whom this survey would actually matter: Kids just out of college deciding where to start their careers. They should be focusing more on the starting salaries, which were consistently higher in the US.
It does not 'ignite' by any sense of the word. It does get very hot through friction, and emits black body radiation. But it does not burn. Well, in a few senses of the word it does.
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition 2nd definition of ignite as a verb includes to make luminous with heat and the 2nd definition as an intransitive verb is to begin to glow.
You've never dealt with children before, have you? I'm sure, if you have kids, you raise them to think and learn, and find things out for themselves, but that just makes them remarkable. But, even so, that's not really the issue. Generally speaking the onus is on the politicians to reach their target demographics and not the votes they needs to come to Them. If a one can't get votes then how are we to determine one is fit to lead?
Perhaps the youth don't pay attention to the other PR outlets and one needs a blog if one is to reach them. One who can not reach the youth is not qualified to lead a country.
They should continue, "unfortunately, there are a fair amount of countries that don't have access to the sun. "
Really? There are places on earth that have no access to the sun? Where?... Anywhere that gets midnight sun in the summer (Nordic/Scandinavian countries,Iceland, Argentina...) would go through a period of, if not prolonged darkness, unsuitably low solar radiation for weeks and perhaps months in the winter.
Either that or they mean places like china which reputedly so polluted that you can't see the sun in many of the more developed areas.
Dude, are you sure you are wearing deodorant and not crude oil? Have you ever read the ingredients on a stick of deodorant? I don't have access to the equipment needed to tell the difference. (I still wear the stuff, though. Y'know, for the ladies.)
There must be a conspiracy behind that. There's no way big-budget studios with seven and eight figure budgets and virtually limitless cpu cycles at their disposal could be releasing big-screen features that are regularly shown up by video games and decade old tv movies. Maybe it has something to do with greenscreening to meld the cgi with live action characters, perhaps it's some sort of nostalgia, or the think that the general public just isn't ready to see movie-length photo-realistic features, but there's no way digital animation hasn't progressed in the past ten or twenty years.

In other news, Aston Martin makes better cars than Hyundai! In light of the often facetuos nature of any sentence containing the words, "British Engineering", the Comparison of Aston Martin's reputation for reliability with Hyundai's, and the comparison of their current parent company's reputations and stock prices... My word! That is news, indeed!
There's also the issue that if she can't blame someone else the only obvious alternative is to blame herself. Something few people would willingly face the possibility of doing.
I find it difficult to believe that the parent of an autistic child is to be "blamed." At this stage in the game, no one knows what causes autism so it is too early to asses blame. When something tragic happens it's a natural human response to try and assign blame. It doesn't have to make sense. It might not even be conscious, but people like to have reasons for things.

0 degrees C is defined as 273.15 degrees K (exactly). People usually round down the.15 because it's more sig figs than they really need. Technically that means it's -99.67 degrees F.
Nah, I remember hearing it years before that. I guess the true origin of the joke is lost to humanity... or the guy who I heard it from was a time traveler (!) .
Maybe it's just because it's before noon here or maybe it's because where I live hasn't depended on agriculture in my lifetime, but I fail to see why people who are not farmers are any less likely to starve than people who are farmers and can just walk out into the field and pick a bushel of something if they're truly desperate for food. How are people earning minimum wage any better off if the price of food goes up? Eventually minimum wage will be raised to cover the inevitable inflation, but it's really a bit presumptuous to say that it will go up any more than that.

Same reason I shouldn't use a negligible amount of your money, house, girlfriend, or other stuff when you're not using it.

They're probably counting just salaries not bonuses, not profit sharing, not stock option, just base salary.

Couldn't you just build 4,000 2 sq mile plants?
Well, yes, but only before I takes me brain medicine in the mornin'.

From what I've read dogs ass-sniff to tell if doggies of the opposite sex were in heat, and they roll in fox crap to mask their distinctive odor.

The worst part is Microsoft and Google will be fighting over the new entity in a couple year's time anyway.
Well, you said m$ was hindering his flight, I was curious how.
What did OSS have to do with his flight, though?
Nah, I remember hearing it years before that. I guess the true origin of the joke is lost to humanity... or the guy who I heard it from was a time traveler (!) .
Yes, but can it play DOOM?
What's that from? I've heard it a few times before.
