Of course they do. And they ignore the cost of manufacturing the LED bulbs. Incandescents are ultra low impact. A bit of glass, a bit of tungsten, basic bitch metal to fit the socket, and a dab of solder. LEDs require PWM controllers, often other microprocessors, expensive metals, and hell, often a fucking fan. All wrapped in plastic. (Even the fucking Hue bulbs switched from glass for the bulb to plastic!)
I wonder why all new structures have moved higher up.
Because advancements in transportation and construction have made it possible, and because being higher up means you have better views, longer slopes, a longer season to make money, etc.?
No, I'm an atheist which means that I'll only believe in your deity if you can prove it exists. Now please prove to me that your god exists or stop bothering me.
No, if you're an atheist you take the position that you do not believe in any deity, anything "supernatural", etc. period.
They can't be all that intelligent if they believe in an entity whose existence cannot be proven
Believing in something that can't be proven is far better than believing against something that can never be disproven. The only logical choice is to be agnostic. Being an atheist is absolutely retarded from the point of view of simple logic, and it's detrimental to society as atheists are generally selfish assholes.
Tim Pool (Poole?) made the entire thing an absolute nightmare for them. Every single question he posed to them resulted in hemming, hawing, vague bullshit, and utter embarrassment.
I expected Jack to be woefully unprepared to handle anything. The top boss never has to get down to brass tacks. But the Vijaya clown's entire job is to handle that kind of situation and she was completely unprepared to do anything but expose Twitter and its leadership for what it is.
You can report individual transactions as a wash sale on your fucking taxes. It's perfectly normal. Similarly (but not quite the same) you can report purchases as being replacement shares.
I remember watching the HUGE HISTORIC floods on TV at my grandparents house in the midwest twice in my childhood, about a decade apart. As a teenager I remembered thinking "This is the same thing that happened before, why are they acting like it's some unprecedented event?".
Yup. This is BS. AT&T is complicit in this shit, because they profit from it. This was a stunt to either:
A - Show how much of a problem it is and help them continue to pretend that they can't do anything about it, deflecting any pressure from the FCC, congress, etc.
B - Start the lip service PR "effort" to show that they're trying to combat it. Such an "effort" will probably involve asking for public money to setup systems and tools to combat spam calls. It will assuredly include exceptions for the powers that be to continue to harass you. It will definitely never result in actually fixing the problem. Best case scenario, call centers deal with a middleman to buy a cert/license to spoof, pinky swear not to abuse it, and do so anyway. The middleman sends a cut to the telcos. The telcos forward complaints to the middleman. The middleman sends those complaints to the shredder, an occasionally acts on one as a dog and pony show.
There's absolutely nothing special about proving a negative.
If you can: A - Define a coin as a two sided disc that had two faces, heads and tails, and one edge. B - Define the process of flipping a coin and measuring how it landed (head up, tails up, or on edge). C - Do so to any desired degree of accuracy or certainty.
Then you can both: A - Prove a coin landed head ups. B - Prove a coin did not land heads up.
Negating the statement has absolutely nothing to do with anything. The degree of certainty to which you can prove a coin did not land heads up is the same as the degree of certainty to which you can prove that it did. "Maybe you measured it wrong.", and any other bullshit, applies equally to both the positive and negative case.
After something like that is in place, 100% of a state could vote for x, but the electors would end up voting for y.
This can already happen. They call it a "faithless elector". Some states have laws against it, but such laws wouldn't invalidate an electors vote. A lot of people were crossing their fingers and hoping against hope for faithless electors to hand some more votes to Hillary.
Maybe try learning how the system works? Tell that to that clown you quoted, too!
States run their own elections, and appoint their own electors. States get to decide how their part of the electoral college works. Electors are there to represent their state, not deliberate and bargain and debate and politic with other states. And they may or may not choose to represent their state in a manner that reflects the result of an election held in their state.
Exactly! Popular election of senators was a huge fucking mistake. They complained about deadlocks and vacant seats. That's a problem for each state to solve individually.
Now all we get is the same bullshit politics we see in the house (which is run like a zoo) and the same bullshit spending to appease the mindless retards who can't add. Oh, and all the bribery and corruption are still in place, of course.
In my book, plenty of people need to be told that they're fucking retarded because plenty of people are fucking retarded. People who avoid calling it like it is because they don't want to be seen as offensive, crass, or whatever else are also fucking retarded. People who buy a thesaurus and lookup needlessly ridiculous words to use in an attempt to make themselves sound more intelligent are also fucking retarded.

It's been nice proving you wrong.

You miss a fundamental point of the origin story and the fall.
Humans were given free will, took knowledge, and will be judged on how they use both.
If you take free will out of the equation, then there's no meaning to anything you do.

It's complicated by the fact that a central tenet of the religion is the idea that priests must interpret the words for you.
That is not a central tenet of the religion.

You are a moron. We are a union of states by design. This is not a fucking democracy.

I'm not a "right-winger". I don't root against Tesla. I'd like for them to succeed. But they're still way out of their depth.
I do root against Elon Musk. He's a piece of shit and a con man in my book.
It's not even shovelware. It's farmware.

Tesla has yet to established cost-effective mass production of anything but debt and hype.
