It will also be my policy to block EU users. Much simpler, and guards against any new changes the EU decides to implement. My point? Compliance via blocking is simpler and cheaper. My point is kinda what this whole story is about, if you read the headline.
And why shouldn't users in the EU be happy that they are blocked? This is what they apparently understand could happen. Blocking is protecting.

Ever heard of over-training? Imagine doing that every week for 20 years.
Having experienced over-training personally (I used to be a D1 college athlete) I can state with confidence that very few jobs even among physically demanding ones require the sort of output that would result in over-training symptoms. Stress injuries and wear and tear yes. Extreme fatigue even. But over training requires more output than most people ever will get to even in a physically demanding job.
I dunno. As a young man I helped out around a friend's farm. I also played hockey. Now let's talk about baling hay in the barn after harvest. Two different extreme activities.using different parts of the body. But you don't get breaks other than climbing up to the loft after your shoulders scream at you from pitching bales for a half hour and the cruelty of having to pitch higher as the hay level goes up. Then you bake in the heat trapped in the barn, and get covered with chaff.
Three games a week plus practice plus daily off ice workouts in Hockey at an older age and although it was work, I got to have a minute on, two minutes off to recover. It was a whole different world than if I stopped for a break while baling hay.
There's a reason why us 18 year old's baled the loft while the farmer and the other older guys did the driving. It would kill you soon if you did that for too many years.
1) As a proud, card-carrying, tree-hugging Liberal(TM) I'm dismayed by this as it feeds into that whole "Gummint Bad" mentality that can be fed by such bizarre rulings.
Especially in this case - where the honorable Judge is almost certainly wrong.
Acrylamide - my, what a nasty sounding word. Do we know that Acrylamide exists in French Fries or Potato Chips? Black Olives? Prunes? Deep frying starchy foods? Yes we do!
Acrylamide scare reminds me a little of the great devil Nitrates/Nitrites. Many people demand only healthy "uncured bacon" to avoid nitrates while happily munching on healthe veggies that contain a lot of Nitrate.
Meanwhile it appears that coffee drinkers live longer and healthier lives.
And your adults would have a parent who was never born.
Why? While they made it weird with the adults angle, they were right regarding adoption at least. It is perfectly possible for a person to have parents who never "had" kids, if that person's parents adopted them.
Even my Aspie friends get the joke. Then again they are smart enough to understand the difference between adoption and the results of male and female copulation to produce a replicant person. The point of it all is that if you were not born, you won't have offspring.
Presumably other than the Christian myth of virgin birth, each of us is the result of a man and woman engaging in sex, getting pregnant, and experiencing birth. Those two people are the biological parents.
Society may implement legal constructs allowing a child to be adopted, but in the biological aspect the child is not the offspring of the people that adopt him.
The play on words stands, because the child doesn't exist if his birth parents never gave birth to him.
You can get a thicker phone with a nice battery life if you want.
What fun is it if we can''t bash the people with the thin phone though?
This is all just more of the Ford versus Chevy mentality for them, where the thiccness of the phone is either a plus or a minus based on predetermined ideas.
It's all bullshit. Just say no. For illogical reasons, the "flagship" phones seem headed in the direction of form over function
Yes, it is bullshit. But there is a logic to it.
As smartphone sales flatten out, the producers have to come up with the next big thing. So they work hard at convincing people that a bezel is an insufferable hardship, and lo and behold, "We shall release you from your bonds!"
The question is whether the public will flock to this modern miracle or not. I have a nice iPhone 7, and expect to use it until the batter doesn't hold a charge any more. A bezel-less phone is of no interest to me. I'm also one of those weirdos that use a protective case, so I'm curious of what those will look like for phones that have no bezel. My phone would last maybe a day without one.
Good. Another law regulating harmless activities between consenting adults bites the dust...
Indeed! But then there is that money thing. Money, and the billions that this represents means that point shaving will become the norm. The people who run gambling now that it is intrenched and given blessing and support by the Supremes, simply will not suffer a loss. They won't. This is going to turn out as well as dark money, and the corporation being a super person.
And just like state lotteries, the poor will use it as a last ditch retirement plan. But don't worry, the billionairs will add a lot to their personal wealth - and that is the most important thing.
Just let someone win big once in a while, and the lemmings will pray at the alter of the betting machine.
The part that I find funny is that it is simple to test the flat Earth theory... If the Earth is flat, then it must have edges right? It would be enough for one of these guys to get a boat and then navigate to find one of those edges. Or would they have some "fail-safe" theory to explain how a supposed flat Earth would have no edges?
If the world was flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.
But 14 felones for a teenager acting up is just insane.
I'll consider these charges fair when they start charging high school bullies who beat up other students with 14 counts of assault.
Yes, high school teachers are by and large pretty stupid.
I suspect those felonies will be reduced to misdemeanors. But there still needs t be punishment.
On the other hand, are their no repercussions for the dumbasses that supplied their passwords? I could get in heap trouble at work for handing out my passwords to anyone.
Scientists have also determined if your parents did not have children, you probably won't either.
Not true. You can adopt an adult and become their parent in most states.
Adoption does not change genes. You are talking about the difference between a legal construct and children via the normal male/female sperm and egg thing.
There are some good quotes in the article, explaining the viewpoints of the people involved. This one:
Fiona continued: "I think, being African Caribbean, you tend to live to a certain extent on the outskirts of mainstream society. It's something the majority of white people don't experience,"........That was probably the most reasonable thing I'd heard all day: If you've been marginalized and feel like you've been lied to by institutions and people you're supposed to automatically trust for much of your life, why should you trust what any of them have to say?
So to some of these people, it doesn't matter so much whether the earth is flat or round. They are there more to have a community of people they can relax with and feel good with. The science is secondary (or in this case, non-existent).
I also read the implicit connotation that the oblate spheroid that the earth is claimed to be is to be consider a racist white concept? Who knew?
My point isn't that they're right, but they have an idea.
It's an idea which has been disproven. That makes clinging to it dumb.
So let's ALL make some predictions and observations and see what works. [...] Spontaneous generation might still be proven right,
Yeah, if your experiment was dumb enough. That's the problem with listening to EVERYONE. Some people you clearly don't listen to about anything.
There is an internet philosophy that has people bringing up disproven or dipshit theories, and screaming that other people have to disprove them. A really warped idea if "If you don't disprove me to my satisfaction, you prove that I am right!"
Well, I suppose these modern day Neanderthals paid zero attention in science class, but I remember ancient concepts like spontaneous generation and flat earth being discussed in class, and unless a person wasn't capable of critical thinking, they would catch on real early and quickly that the earth was spherical, and that animals don't pop out of nowhere. Note yes - we now know that the earth was an oblate spheroid and a little chunky at the center.
The biggest problem with the idea that we must exhaustively explain every debunked idea over and overandoverandover again for people who have exactly no intention of taking the telling is that we'll be stuck forever explaining things like say, the phlogiston theory, when in fact we've moved so far beyond that that it would be a waste of time. Read it in a book, and move on.
Especially in the age of the internet, a skeptic could set up an experiment with say 50 others of like mind across the globe. Do the old Erastothenes experiment but around a meridian line describing a circle.
I'll switch to Linux as soon as SolidWorks and Altium release builds. At least AutoCAD has a version for OSX but they didn't do that until recently.
Are you bragging or complaining? I feel badly for people who are locked in to one OS.
I have one stinking program that only runs on Windows, have to have a machine specifically for that one program, and I surely don't brag about it. Being a W10 machine, it takes more maintenance than all my other computers combined. Latest update took out a USB hub and mouse! Corrupted their drivers.
I would think that using your bragging points of installed user base and Windows only monoculture programs, that hackers and malware people would be helping Microsoft fix their interminable update borks so they could have more uptime to work their bad guy stuff.

Weird enough. This is going to be all a lot of Hipster/health food nut fun until someone gets hit with botulism.

Gambling is harmless. Gambling more than you can afford is not, but that is the problem of the gambler, and does not require legislation.
Gambling is God's will.

I agree, Linux is the safest. But after an update on my PC, it bricked my whole machine and converted my PC into an expensive paperweight.
