Ouch not sure if you'll be able to shake off that troll moderation. You were a little blunt but I somewhat agree. The older folks we've hired on my team have been pretty difficult to deal with. They are set in their ways and don't care to take any crap from anyone but sometimes your job is to take crap and make the best you can of it. This is especially concerning when you consider that the majority of your open spots in a company are going to be for lower level positions. There are just more of them. A younger guy applying for that role is understandable. An older person.. I know stuff happens in life but that is something of a red flag.
Lets almost double that gas price and assume that for some crazy reason US production drops drastically ignoring that as oil price rises incentives for drilling and exploration increase as well. Even then is it really worth it if you don't care about "green" creds? You end up with a more complex vehicle which I assume increases the cost of maintenance especially if you're looking at keeping it a minimum of 5+ years to recoup your cost with gas savings.. It just doesn't seem to make sense.
I'm about 80% carnivore these days so I wouldn't want to but... I'm confident that I could feed myself for a year on 1/4 an acre. I'm usually giving away massive amounts of food that I could be canning or fermenting to last me through the winter and I only use a 6x20 bit of ground.
I'm probably burning all my karma points with this but here goes... There are a lot of people out there that have views I find distasteful but I don't believe that I should be able to deny them the ability to earn a living because of that (beyond voting with my pocketbook) so here is my question: Why is it ok for the government to force a business to cater a gay pride event or be destroyed but not ok to force an African American businessman to cater a white pride event? Maybe I have misunderstood the majorities position on this but I don't think I should be allowed to use the government as a tool to destroy a business owned by a black family because they don't wish to be stuck in the back kitchen serving a group of whites.
Maybe. I'm not sure what current soil depths are vs historic numbers. I would guess that "recovery" is probably a strong word for where we currently stand but I'd 100% agree that current ranching methods didn't contribute substantially to any move in a positive direction. Very few ranchers until recently practiced mob/rotational grazing. Most around here tend to end up destroying their pasture rather than use the cattle as a tool to build soil.
That might be expected in the first decade or so as humans stop preventing as many fires as possible given all the detritus that would have built up during the previous period of much lower fires due to firefighting efforts.
That may be true in inner cities but then again that is already the case in large cities with people opting for public transport. In what I consider the real world where the food and materials that people in cities consume comes from I just can't see it happening. I don't see folks trading their pickup trucks in any time soon.
When you tax people on what they own you are essentially taking the position that the state owns everything and only rents it to you. Now that is fine if it is your position I guess but personally the very idea of it sets me on edge.
I don't really have a dog in this fight but you do not license a human right. If you take the stand that gun ownership shouldn't be taken away and is codified in the constitution then you cannot really argue that licensing is constitutional. Would you license people to speak freely?
Windows is doing a lot of stuff right recently. I have a secondary phone ($40 dollar nokia 635) that is Windows 10 and it is a slick little OS. When it comes to very inexpensive smart phones Windows is more pervasive than you would think. Combine Windows 10 with HoloLens and other cool projects that are actually pretty close to being commercial products and I think it would be foolish to count them out.
Italy is dealing with pretty big immigration problems from Africa. It is kind of a big deal. I'm sure the results would have been similar elsewhere amongst any racial type but.. there is bound to be some deep seated resentment amongst a lot of Italians at the moment towards that other specific skin color.
This is understandable in a way given the almost 100% market share for search that google enjoys in Europe vs the US 68% or so and the European (especially German) fondness for regulation... no matter how alien it seems to me. Even if it is a bad idea / good idea or whatever lets be honest, if Germany wants to regulate their google.de TLD do any of us outside of Germany really care?
New York is suing UPS for 180 million dollars for not preventing their customers from using them to ship cigarettes and avoiding cities huge revenue stream of a tobacco tax. You think they would hesitate to do the same for machining equipment that has been marketed as able to "manufacture" a gun?

There is very little wrong with aggression and quite a bit right about it. Your body won't even develop properly unless you stress it. If there is one flaw in humanity it is fear not aggression.
Almost no one in cuba has full internet access. Mostly what they call "internet" is access to some government servers. There is an underground mesh network movement that is really cool but I think it is its own little network not anything you could connect to then stream netflix from.
At the moment you're talking about a single digit percentage of the population able to take advantage of this. Probably mostly those in power and their children... yay?
I always feel bad for folks obviously trying to drop weight out in the park jogging... There isn't much about jogging that strikes me as healthy. Better off with walking interspersed with occational all out sprints once or twice a week and lifting weights.
The company will be directly harmed if an accident occurs, that employee is tested by police and found have recently indulged. Right or wrong they probably would be found liable if injured kids were paraded in front of a typical jury.
Large companies already do this by giving you discounts on health insurance or charging you more depending on your perspective if you adopt "healthy" lifestyle habits. Also I'm sure you'd agree that you shouldn't expect to keep your job as cop if you are severely overweight or want a job as a booth babe etc.
Sounds like instead of current VR tech approach we need something that simulates REM sleep. I don't I'd opt for a gen 1 implant but maybe gen 3 or 4...
The population of Europe as a whole is like 740 million. Perhaps they simply have yet to reach a critical mass and these increasing troubles are a sign of something larger to come. Only about 20% of the population of the British American colonies participated in the American revolution. Muslims are rapidly outbreeding native populations in Europe and account for a large percentage of immigrants. I have friends that follow islam and they are great guys but looking at it objectively Europe in the long term may very well be screwed.
If someone of authority in my company but with little to no authority over me tells me in my job to do something I know to be wasteful and unethical I tell them very politely where they can stick it. There is no way NASA gets to use the excuse that senator x really wanted us to do this.
I would be interested to see some auditor reviews of NASA's budget. I'm sure they have smart people there but those that I have met have not been very impressive. They basically fill space and know next to nothing about the technical aspects of their jobs. One guy I worked with had to spend quite a while explaining the difference between mv and copy on a file to someone that worked in their network security some years back... This was a high level technical role not a manager. So I've always wondered how much of their budget was massive overspending due to incompetence and payroll for people who effectively dodge work all day and do nothing but navigate that bureaucracy.

Most of it is probably the lack of bison. You cant have healthy grasslands without massive amounts of ruminants.

Thats too bad in Kentucky we have a state initiative to do just the opposite and bring fiber to every house: http://www.kentucky.com/2014/1...
