I don't really go out much, and if groceries closed an hour or two earlier, it wouldn't affect me. They should be open an hour or two past normal working hours, but till 10 pm or 24 hours is stupid.
That is the entire point. If they are open a few hours past "normal working hours", then a series of support industries must remain open. Eventually 50% of jobs are now open 2 hours past, and 40% must remain open even longer to "close up".
And by track you mean sound source? Protagonist talking 1 Music 2 Protagonist Footsteps 3 Ambient bird chirping 4 now if you want to have a car drive past in the background the bird should stop chirping for a little while?
This does not make any sense. America has over a 200 year history of enacting laws that they were not explicitly allowed to enact. The constitution used to be the document listing the handful of things the government could regulate. Then the important part became the amendments listing the handful of things it cannot regulate. Now is it just a list of things it it tries to not overregulate too much, sometimes, if it feels like it. If there were any restrictions on governmental power in America, someone would of found them long before now.
How did they study this? I live in society and can tell you with absolute certainty that their simply is not enough people who have never tasted alcohol to have a group to study.
And it is a rather bold claim. Why would one shot of whiskey in a lifetime cause cancer or heart disease, or whatever causes of death they are linking it to?
The Left wants to censor incorrect political opinions, claiming that Ideas are harmful because they have the power to change someone's mind and make them believe something you do not want to believe. Please, if you believe their is a better or more less partisan way of putting this, please help me come up with a better one.
While the Right wants to ban content they believe is unsavoury or harmful.
Banning pornography is definitely not the exact same thing as banning all opinions different than yours. For one, if it turns out that banning pornography was wrong, everyone can still express their opinion, have arguments about, and publish research on the effects of pornography on the individual and society. While the open debate, or research into banned opinions are by definition illegal themselves.
More critical. Everyone used Twitter et all, and most people use it as the only or primary method of communication. Without FB I cannot contact 99% of the people I can contact with FB. Ban social network and you have basically banned all speech period. Remove Gas, most people live without gas, get oil or propane. Remove electricity, pick up a $50 generator or get some solar panels. Electricity and Gas are easily and routinely replaced. You cannot replace social networks, there I no alternative to FB where I can still communicate with all my FB friends.
Additionally, social networks are simply far more widely used. Only like half of American HOUSEHOLDS even have Gas, and half of them probably do not even use the service for half the year. Compare that to the number of AMERICANS who use FB every day of the year, including most homeless.
He's being sued for disenfranchising minority voters, elderly voters and young voters. I'm going to let you guys guess which party it is. Here's a hint: it's the party that is constantly crying about voter fraud that doesn't exist.
You realise that that is a completely politically neutral statement. No one will be able to guess what party you mean without some information on which one you prefer.
Your first statement leans moderately Republican, but then your second seems to heavily favour Democrat.
Yes and no. Any software malfunction that elevator has is just as liable as any material malfunction. It is like unlikely that the programmer screws up so badly that someone ends up decapitated,
I will present you with two scenarios featuring your idiot and you can decide which system correctly dealt with him.
Scenario 1 (Electronic Voting Machine): > Idiot arrives at polls. > Passes out > Head slams down on Bernie as he collapses. > Vote counted.
Senario 2 (Paper Ballots): > Idiot arrives at polls. > doodles on ballot. > Vote counters throw out his ballot. > Vote not counted.
The problem is is not that certain methods can lead to invalid votes, but that certain methods make invalid votes impossible, and that a herd of dogs are just as capable of voting as a human using these methods. to create a valid vote, you should have to demonstrate that you were at least aware that you were voting, could read and understand the ballot, and had the ability to make a pen do what you want it to do.
Lets not overstate it. No type of misinformation is is helpful. We have proof that these thridworlders are corrupt and the citizens votes simply do not matter..
The only thing we know about The American system is that it can easily be corrupted, and there are little safeguards, and even when huge irregularities are caught, no one seems to care. The last thing I heard about the attempts made on recounting the last presidential election that pretty much all for Chicago could not be verified because all the votes were either tampered with or originally stored wrong.
But given all that, the results seem to show that any corruption that goes on is still not hugely significant to the overall outcome. Their does not appear to be any direct foreign influence, and the only one in America who wanted Trump to win were lower middle class citizens, people without the power to influence the election in an underhanded manner. Sure, the election has huge problems like for example any use of electronic voting machines, or how the Democratic party spends 1000 times the amount on trying to win elections then any of their opponents, and yes we can be pretty much sure that millions of illegal votes get cast, but most elections are not won by a few percentage points.
offer consumers a variety of prices, qualities and relative values.
Yes, and but many companies offer luxury goods. And the cost to produce luxury goods never scales identically with the price. Case Labs sold luxury cases, and I guarantee that it did not cost them $450 to produce the cases they sold for $500.
But that should only mean that they should not of been affected very much at all.
They sold expensive cases made by hand. Meaning labour was 80-90% of the total cost. And if I wanted, I could order 10 tons of sheet aluminum right this minute, and have it shipped to me right now. I would probably have to pay shitloads of tariffs, because that is how it always works in Canada, but it would still be a tiny fraction of what I sold the cases for. Just this month I ordered 55lbs of cocoa and a couple hundred feet of 4-4-4 aluminum wire from the states. I pay 45%-100% more than someone who is an American for the stuff but it is still reasonable, and business is on average doing well in Ontario (the biggest downside is our horrible electricity provider).
The tariffs have played a major role raising prices by almost 80 percent (partly due to associated shortages)
Can someone explain? The tariffs are designed to help American manufacturing, they make American products cheaper than foreign products. And as for shortages, a PC case manufacturer needs thin sheet steel, paint, plastic, and LEDs. Don't tell me you cannot get sheet steel in America any longer? Also, the margins on cases should be astronomical, 5 lbs of steel and a few LEDs, an ounce of black paint and a few plastic parts probably take 5-8 dollars in material costs. The only problem in the industree should be that China can make them cheaper which can be solved with the appropriate tariffs.

I have a friendly, very ordered conversation with about 30 people
Being able to say 3 words every other hour cannot be considered as having a conversation.
That is a radio station that you occasionally call into.

Most jail cells do not have computers and internet provided.
And how long do you think it will take Uber to realised that they just banned every single Abo in Australia and new Zealand who ever took an Uber?
So basically Google wants to steal Twitter's blue checkmark idea, and use it for the entire web.
What sort of cargo are they carrying that is a granular solid filled with water?
Bullets can be made of anything. The only requirement is gunpowder.

If all you have is the power to write new laws, every problem looks like a nail.

Verizon probably broke some laws here, but you could not really expect them to have any plans in place for such an outcome.
It is the Fire Departments fault for using a residential level internet service for system critical infrastructure.

Carry a bottle of soapy water so you can rinse quickly if it spills on your skin.
Roundup is a soap. So you should be able to skip adding the soap to the water.
The article I readed stated he got completely drenched in the stuff twice. I think we can assume he was doing something wrong.
