In Europe is illegal to pay less to an employee for the same job, regardless of their gender, which totally exposes their lies.
Umm, but what are the variables that are allowed? If you take that absolutely literally, every person at job X with Y years of experience would have to be paid exactly the same, which is ridiculous. Somebody across the hall presumably makes a different salary than I do, even if we have the same amount of experience.
What you're talking about sounds almost like government/military pay where it's exactly regimented/people can't be paid for better work.
skimmed milk: used to be thrown away or concentrated into whey solids. now also sold for the same price as real milk, while also selling the removed cream at a premium. possibly the greatest scam in culinary history.
Scam? I'd probably pay a little bit MORE for 0% milk than the other kinds of milk, so they might as well get money for the removed cream.. Anyway, I typically see the various fat-removed varieties (e.g. 2%, 1%, skim.. do we really need 3 of them?) for slightly less than whole milk. Literally like 10 cents/gallon less, which isn't much.
Look, I'm not saying electric cars are a bad idea - much to the contrary, stick a handful of solar panels on the surfaces of the things, and you've got the perfect in-town commuter car
Several of the electric cars do have solar panels. The panels don't make enough to significantly increase range. In fact, most of them only use the solar power for running interior fans (not A/C). I think one of the Teslas has or will have them for main battery recharging and they theorize it increases range 5 miles.
What I mean is that if electric cars had had the same hundred years of innovation, they'd already be farther than they are now. (Even the wasted 15 years of not having the EV1 and descendants on the road are reasons I'm VERY strongly biased against getting a GM car of any kind.)
I don't even need "performance". Even some of the "small" electric cars seem "big" to me. I guess partially because at least some are high off the ground (seemingly closer to SUV height) even as a small car. Basically, I want something low end, like a Miata, but electric⦠or even a microcar, but highway legal.
If you're referring to the old Maps app, I agree with you.. it's absolutely not turn by turn..
I used it many times as a suitable navigation aid device. (In fact, I used it INSTEAD of the little GPS unit I got as a Christmas present a year or two earlier, because it's SO much easier to type in the full address or even just street, zip or street, city as opposed to the horrendous multi-entry modal input on GPS units.)
My reading comprehension must have gone down today. Who gets the free T-shirts? Besides the title, I see 'swag' mentioned once. So _some_ parties have free T-shirts?
(I was originally suspecting that those who host the parties get the free T-shirts, but I see no mention on the party pages' links.)
Better in what way? Do you mean more healthful? Though obviously I don't have examples of every single kind, every time I've seen one of these supposedly "healthier junk foods", they have at LEAST as many calories as the 'regular' junk food, and are way way more expensive. E.g. Pop Chips, various veggie based chips, etc.
I'd love for one of these "healthier junk foods" to become at least as good as diet sodas have -- at least some of the flavored ones finally became "good enough", and by now I prefer them by far to regular soda, at least knowing the caloric side effects of regular soda.
Yes, they release a new model to prevent the old model falling under the magic US$200 price point.
I know this isn't responding to what you actually mean (below that price on a consistent basis), but the 2011 Black Friday bundle (which I and zillions of other people got) was $199.99 for a PS3 + 2 games. I wouldn't doubt if this year's Black Friday Bundle was below that too, with more games or this new version? (I didn't RTFA, don't know when this new one is coming out.)
Even the software based one (though I admittedly don't recall/didn't do the research right now to see how good that was). Heck, I'd pay a one time fee for PS2 compatibility via add-on. Though, I will admit, that after the games have dropped FAR enough, I have finally re-bought a few games. Less than $10 each (significantly less in a few cases), and so far they've been Sony games, so I'll be credited via my Sony credit card..
But I'd still rather pay for the emulator itself and re-use the games I already have.
In 10 states (and other states you move to after that), you aren't just _in effect_ married because you say you are.. You ARE legally married because you say you are.. Common law marriage.
OK, so you did care about the speed, but from the laptop. Though IMHO that was very much an edge case back when the original iPhone came out, and even now, I'm not sure how often it's used. (Yes, I admit, because tethering costs extra money, at least for some phones.)
OK, but were you actually doing browsing on a clamshell phone? That's a serious question. I tried doing basic browsing on one of my Virgin Mobile flip phones, and it was horrible. (I say this as a person who for a very long time used a text-based browser, and should probably recompile 'links' to play with again..)
Every iPhone ever released has been a year or more behind in technology
What was the very first iPhone "a year or more behind in technology" compared to?
(If it was, why have so many other phones scrambled to be similar to it -- and I don't necessarily mean in a legally infringing way? e.g. Android being Blackberry-ish before iPhone, then suddenly changing to be similar touch screen after.)
"Isn't that what I pay YOU for?" is sometimes asked. Yeah, becuase a board of 8 or so and a staff of 3 or 4 is going to be able to accomplish anything.
Isn't that board the same people that make the agreements the next time contracts are up? If so, then it seems like the board is EXACTLY the ones that should be doing something⦠while the rest of the people can actually be doing their jobs until the issue is resolved.

Better fries than McDonald's? I don't think so.
Wish I had mod points, that deserves +5 funny. Grammatical slams that whoosh over the person making the mistake are the best.
Just like with house roof panels, it's not always sunny, plus, heck, some people purposely park in the shade for other reasons (cooling usually).

However, they haven't been actively been worked on and used as primary vehicles for people for that long.
BTW, Musk was at most co-founder, and controlling investor, but not the person to start it, entirely.

I have no idea about the price of the *next* Roadster, but there will be another one. This is the citation from the Wikipedia page.

(I went to an electric car show on Sunday.. Drove a Coda and a Think, and got a ride in a Roaster.. Wow.)

Yes, I prefer the new turn by turn..
Yeah, are the cookies and fruit loops stale?
I suspect both of those could easily be "un-staled" by the end user. (Little time in a fairly low oven, just like what works for chips or crackers.)
Send 'em to me, I'll appreciate them a lot more than the cows will.
I welcome my new robotic hiring manager.

That's not "technology". The subthread was about hardware technology.

The iPhone was not originally sold with a subsidy, and if you recall, there were a lot of people in line to buy the original iPhone.
