Which is why I call all the survivalists that are converting their cash into gold complete idiots. It's at historic high's and will crash down within a few years. and in the SHTF event that the nutjobs like to throw around, your 1 ounce of gold will NOT be worth $1200.00US but probably worth a loaf of bread or bag of apples.
Perceived value based on speculation is always inflated badly. IT's why oil prices are out of control, Gold is spiraling up and why a lot of people lost money on real estate because it was speculated up to the pooing point.
Coca Cola in the USA on average costs $1.25US a can from a vending machine or singles from a store, my experience.
A superior Coca Cola made with sugar instead of corn syrup on average costs $0.75 a glass bottle from the stores I went to when I was in Mexico City for 2 months, one small store had them for 9 pesos instead of the common 10 peso price I was seeing. When I was there 10 pesos was about $0.75US
In china I have heard it's even cheaper but in the smaller cool cans.
Yup, last usable Ubuntu was 10.04.. It's a rerun of 2002 when redhat was king and overnight screwed linux desktop adoption in one fell swoop. Ubuntu is doing the same, all the inroads and advances are being thrown away to stroke someone's ego.
"The cars are also heavily tinted because of the sun, so it's almost impossible to tell what people are doing in their cars."
No not because of the sun, because it's trendy and because of cultural factors. heavily tinting your car windows does NOTHING to control temperature inside, black adsorbs heat and after the 60% tints it's useless to tint further and will actually create more heat, they all ride around with 5% limo tint because it's trendy, and not seeing in the car keeps others from looking at you and seeing inside your "private space".
Your car is not insulated, so even black windows will let the car get up to the same temperature as clear windows while it sits. Tinting is for looks, claims by tint sellers to any other benefit are just lies to get you to buy their product.
Stop it. Or spend some money and buy an android phone that will do Text to Speech and Voice to Text for you, Or buy a ford with Sync if you cant deal with your OCD and let an incoming text sit until you can check it safely. I am even O.K. with you talking on the phone and driving if you have a headset. I have a bluetooth helmet and it is very safe to carry on a conversation while driving with a headset.
As a motorcyclist, I have resorted to mounting TWO 180db air horns to my bike. On 3 occasions I have had to blow those horns to get the attention of the idiot 20 something that is busy texting his/her BFF about some stupid thing instead of fricking driving and staying in their lane. Previously I have ridden 190,000 miles and 20 years without having to blow my horn except for one time when a 90 year old lady that should not have been on the road tried to run me off the road. Drivers that text are worse than a 90 year old blind woman with senility. I can easily spot them also on the highway on my daily commute easily, they are erratic and suddenly slow down and then speed back up.
Honestly, they need to make texting while driving a $10,000 file with 30 days in jail giving $1,000 of the fine to cops as a bonus to encourage them to go texter hunting.
I am tired of people risking my life so they can do something stupid, Either fine the stupid people hard, or let me start carrying large bolts to throw at their cars.
You are telling me that all writers are no talent hacks and the publisher makes their book fantastic?
So let me guess, the harry potter books direct from JK Rowling are full of profanity and nudity and the publisher fixed them into the books that sold like hotcakes and everyone wanted to read...
Let me guess, you also have a nice bridge in Manhattan that you will sell me for a deal. I know several writers and all of them are looking forward to the day they can bypass the publisher. Most of them are angry that the publishers don't even supply the services they used to, like editors and reviewers to go over the books several times before publishing, they have to hire their own out of their own pocket.
why? are you assuming that the bulk of the population will still be retarded and have kids like rabbits? Honestly, when are we going to get pas the stupidity of religion and embrace the fact that you can have sex without making babies?
"The group were having to run a 12 volt supply, convert it to 150 AC and then back down to five volts for phones and the portable radios used to maintain emergency contact."
Glad to see that there are NO electronics engineers or other people that have a clue as to what they are doing.
12V run into inverters to make 120VAC (not the 150AC the writer failed to fact check) and then using wall chargers for the devices. Nobody had a fricking car charger for their phone? This is getting utterly comical.
I am glad to see this because it means in the SHTF situation, most of the populace will die horribly because they are far too uneducated about basics of life so they will pedal 40% more than they need to to make up for the power losses because they cant be bothered to think through what they are doing.
get some basic education people. learn about electricity, you fricking use it every day.
sounds like you need to have a larger note buffer. that way you can leisurely turn the page because you have the next 15 notes in your pipeline already.

This is by CHOICE, not by force. That's the nice part, Progressive insurance is not forced upon the world at gunpoint.
The watch what you do with your computer box, will be forced upon you by gunpoint. or more accurately threat of gunpoint and incarceration.
Or at least that is what the politicians like.
Shove it up their ass.
Suddenly old computers will become valuable, and if that is illegal, I'll gladly be a part of the criminal world.
Going to sell all the current Ones for $99.00 to dump all the ones already built? I'll take a couple!

You spelled PONZI wrong...
"What do you think your bank does with your money?"
Rolling around naked in it laughing like maniacs...
Oh wait, this reminded me a lot of how EA games are created, until I could not find the part where a manager started threatening everyone.
HUH?
Slackware dies this perfectly. as well as CentOS.

Until you use it on a laptop and discover there is no Gnome3 tool to control the synaptics touchpad and it drives you insane....

Which is the point, they are NOT providing that. Most authors have to hire their own.
Buy a new paperbvack copy and download a epub from piratebay.
Honestly, if the ebook version is a joke, then sidestep them.

Publishers typically have been leeches. Sucking 98% of the profit out of a book.
It's high time that writers were able to sell to a reader and keep most of the sale, they did 90% of the work, they deserve 90% of the sale price.
PROBLEM IS, the remote lock does not let you put 120pt font on the screen at all times...

If the perp is dead they cant counter your "they were trying to kill me" claim.
Remember, if you are going to shoot a home invader, make sure they are dead and IN THE HOME.
WE already have one it's call carousel!
Your gem is blinking red, you are going to carousel right?
" food and other resources will become scarce,"
why? are you assuming that the bulk of the population will still be retarded and have kids like rabbits? Honestly, when are we going to get pas the stupidity of religion and embrace the fact that you can have sex without making babies?
Birth Control people, it's not a new invention..
"99% of them are stupid whores who have 3 kids, got a $100,000 degree in some bullshit subject like Black Studies, "
And 100% of the people that say things like that are completely uneducated idiots.
Yes I am calling you an UNEDUCATED IDIOT. Come on back when you actually have a clue as to what you are talking about.
That's not what the geniuses on Fox News are saying.
Are you telling me those fine people at FOX NEWS are LYING?
Next you will tell me that trickle down is a lie...
