What I meant by it was that hard-line conservatives are pushing away human-centric values as comprehensively and quickly as they can. Hence, the blue... turns to red.
Yeah, the Red State Blue State thing just came to mind when I read your post. Otherwise I agree.
The Galaxy J5 is over a year old (June 2015). Had the problem been the same as the Note 7 (not S7), it'd have been widespread a looooong time ago. This is just an isolated incident (as it happens occasionally) that's getting larger media attention than usual because it's Samsung.
Perhaps isolated. But not all problems are of the infant mortality type. Don't know if you are familiar with the failing electrolytic frrom around 10 years ago. Seems a capacitor manufacturer left out a vial ingredient, and a lot of computers were hit hard when the electrolytics aged too quickly Apple iMacs and Dell were hit pretty hard with this one. Let's hope is is a one-off.
I used to marvel at the brown smog that hung over Californian cities like the SF Bay and LA. You can only really see it from afar. Then I landed in New Delhi....
New Delhi is so bad you can't see down the length of a short street for the brown fog that seems to permanently hang over the place.
I got a bit of a sore throat too.
Would I go back to New Delhi?
In a heart beat.
As long as you accept that you are probably going to die sooner than otherwise.
My god that is terrible and disgusting. I try to be tolerant and respectful towards different cultures and their quirks, but there is nothing cultured or civilized about living under those conditions. That is like hell. A culture that tolerates and even encourages that kind of behavior is sick and should be reformed.
This is not some India specific thing. London in 1952 lost 4000 people in 1952, Donora Pennsylvania lost 40, but endured a longtime increased death rate in 1948.
If you really want to have coal and Diesel as your primary power sources, people gonna die. No one cares of course, until it's their child slowly drowning in front of them.
The problem is that she had just been handed it from her son, who probably overtaxed the battery by playing too many games. These are not meant to be devices that are "full-on" 24/7, any more than a laptop is now a "workstation" -- bad things happen when components spec'ed for 4-hr day duty cycle are used for 12 to 18 hours per day and the battery has to be recharged 6 times per day.
Is this critical information included in the Samsung manual?
See, what you don't realize is that's just a blue cup which is receding from you really, really fast.
(Political metaphor absolutely intended)
Shouldn't that mean that the social conservatives should be cheering for Starbucks as they have shown once again, the self validation of the superiority of the whole concept of RedState/BlueState?
Oh, Mr Beck is shall we say, kind of entertaining. Crying, yelling, and willing to believe and promote some really strange stuff.
Used to have a show on Fox News. Eventually he got a little too crazy for them. Note - I don't think he is necessarily anti-jewish, but he is wayyyy out there.
So you are saying that there is no relation to the energy retention characteristics of an atmosphere by virtue of the composition of that atmosphere?
A yes or no answer is sufficient.
That's called a strawman arguement,
And that's called not answering the question.
In other news, a question is not an argument. It often serves to point out a flaw in another's argument that requires them to confront that flaw, but it is not an argument, but a question.
And please, don't try to call it a strawman question. It's just a question, no more, no less.
Is seriously going to be diminished, because whatever the monopoly does, it is known that a less expensive, and less flawed and yet real alternative exists.
As well, the artificial limitingg will also become a problem, since many of the largest diamonds don't exist in large neough numbers, but imagine now a person can have a Cullinan class, Hope or Millenium Star made up for them. Still expensive, and no doubt, but most of the most famous large diamonds are simply not available at all.
But one of the issues I have is that "natural" diamonds have a price based on artificial rarity. An example of that is that many of the positive attributes of diamond are well satisfied by the much less expensive Cubic Zirconia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Beautiful - to my eyes, the higher index of refraction is an improvement. But of course, it doesn't have that artificial rarity thing going for it, so it is presumably inferior.
Since diamonds are carbon, an enterprising outfit might be able to clean up by sequestering carrbon dioxide, and turning it into carbon, http://www.techtimes.com/artic... Then turning the resulting carbon into diamonds.
I know it sounds weird, but there is a lot of marketing that can be done to people concerned about greenhouse gases.
There is also a prior interest, as we can already turn a departed loved one's remains into a diamond. http://lifegem.com/
Theer truth is a dangerous and powerful thing. Crush the fuck out of it as it must be destroyed. Mod this post down to show that you prefer the lies that make you comfortable. Do it - you will feel much better.
which part are you deeply unsure of? That humans attacked the bugs first, and that news snippets during the movie actually spent a couple seconds talking about protestors pointing that out? Or that the whole thing was obvious satire?
I have found that a huge percentage of America does not understand satire at all. Satire requires introspection and an ability to think critically, both considered bad by a lot of people.
Probably the best example is Poe's law, which I end up passing through a lot. Where a satire ridiculing an extreme position is indistinguishable from what a person who actually believes that extreme position would write.
Purchase everything you connect with in cash (if you don't think a MAC address can't be linked to a specific model and the credit card used to buy it, think again).
Never connect to a network you pay for. Use free WiFi wherever you go. Build a cantenna and pick off any insecure networks around you.
Create a wireless backup close to home but hidden off the property for anything you need to store.
If you can, run your browser under an OS in a virtual machine run off a ramdisk.
Move to Idaho and drop out of modern life might help as well.
We always end up going to this place.
Some other issues where you can be tracked, and almost as well as the internet.
Buying anything anywhere on a credit card is bad. My gas card can generalize my whereabouts every time I use it. As can every other purchase. But don't use cash, as it can arouse suspicion. Barter only.
Don't use a cell phone at all, ever. The entire concept of cell phones means that you are logged within about a 3/4 mile area. If you are going to use a cell phone, have a metal box to keep it in even when turned off.
Raise your own food, and do not have a job. Social security and taxes informs the guvmint about your whereabouts. Working under the talbel might work but is risky if the person you are working for gets busted, it reveals you to the guvmint.
If a person is that concerned about the guvmint not knowing anything about them, they need to drop out of modern society completely.
This is not a solution in search of a problem, its a solution that creates many.
Yes, there is that. Its hard enough to go through everything already in search of archived material. If I had every screenshot of everything? Right now I have Slashdot open, and a Software Defined Radio site I'm doing some research on. A spreadsheet, and weather widgets running while I take a break. And the only thing that I need out of that dog's breakfast of useless stuff is the spreadsheet file, and a snapsot of that is damn near useless as well. The file is already backed up multiple times.
Searching every screenshot will just be info overload.
If we enter an age we might be entering, you would be providing the entire case against yourself when Atlas Recall gets the orders to decrypt your file. Who knows what will be considered a crime in the near future? Not talking about illegal pr0n, or trst activities, but possibly your opinion.
It's unforgiveable[sic] because they use proprietary ports instead of industry standard ports, which you then have to use an adapter to convert back to a standard port.
Time to go back to the basement and work on your GED.
The point is, talking points like the adapters needed are just silly. All computers may need them at times, and I have them on my Windows machine, My Mac, and even on a RP3.
I doubt, despite the brouhaha about it, that it is much of an issue. Its like the headset plug on the iPhone 7. I have a 7, and plugging in the headset to the adapter is done exactly once. After that, you pull out the adapter and leave it on the headset (note, I use Bluetooth, but if I did use a wired headset, that's how I'd do it. If you already hate iPhones, then the headphone jack is an incredibly important thing. An unforgiveable deal-breaker for a phone that you wouldn't ever buy anyhow. Same with the adapter for the MacBook Pro.
And if for some reason you have used Apple products from the beginning of Apple, and those actually are deal breakers, then buy a Windows 10 PC, or an Android phone, and be happy that you don't have any more problems because you solved them.
what u r talking about is pheromones, long debated about...what i find interesting r the experiments that show women r attracted to men who smell _UN_like their fathers, thought to promote genetic diversity, particularly in the immune system
Plausible. I do know that I have met some very physically attractive women who I never had an erotic thought about. Others? Yeah, much so.
I've hear women talking about "Ugly Hunks" as well, so I could very much thing something is going on with pheromones/smell.
Lucky me I'm only hyper sensitive to the smell of any rotting food, and am most sensitive specifically to meats. I can tell if it's fresh, good, starting to go bad, will turn bad in a day, to the next level which is where most people start to smell something is off. I'm not so sure I can smell anything else that much better than others but I guess it's a useful thing to have though I can't smell salmonella or other food borne illnesses that I'm aware of just your average decomposition.
With me, its rotting potatoes, or leftover salad going rancid in a trashcan. Just the thought of it is making my stomach a little queasy.

She was obviously holding it wrong.
The problem is that she had just been handed it from her son, who probably overtaxed the battery by playing too many games. These are not meant to be devices that are "full-on" 24/7, any more than a laptop is now a "workstation" -- bad things happen when components spec'ed for 4-hr day duty cycle are used for 12 to 18 hours per day and the battery has to be recharged 6 times per day.

Now we see the denials that there is any problem at all, and that all lithium batteries are dangerous
Next up will be the repeat of the S7 saga. Popcorn time! Gonna be heads asploding in here!

the site bullied people beyond what could be considered reasonable.
Because everyone knows we only want reasonable bullying.
Often, that is what 'news' businesses do.
Especially when they let out some truth. In this post-truth age, that is unforgiveable.
What country is this? I keep being told that Christmas is being cancelled in this country but it just seems to get bigger every year instead.
When Starbucks brings out a plain red cup, replacing one with a snowflake, we get a war on Christmas:
http://www.theatlantic.com/bus...
When they brought out one pertaining to the election, we get more somehow
http://religionnews.com/2016/1...
But don't worry, the next president of the US of A has weighed in on this matter:
http://www.syracuse.com/politi...
When we embrace the insanity, we become insane.
And if the color of a coffee cup is an attack on a person's very being, we call that a psychotic break.
I see a red cup and think that's a red cup.
I will be presenting evidence.
You need a newsletter, or at least regular guesting on any show Glen Beck runs.

I run Tor on Whonix through Tails. If you don't do this, I think you're an idiot, because the NSA and FBI are spying on you.
And when you use Tor, you become very interesting.
