Never trust a man that is entirely harmless in a physical sense yet requires two squads of SWAT and an early morning televised assault to apprehend. That dastardly scoundrel was dangerous I say.
This is about declining number of land line users paying into the utility fee attached to every physical phone line. The Utility commission isn't going to tax you per message, they are going to slap a monthly fee on your cell account. There will be no getting around it. It sucks but it's not going to be a per text sent or received issue. You may continue your blissful ignorance.
"Also, the point of this is to insinuate this somehow means Facebook is conservative despite all the evidence to the contrary." No, faggot, the point is Sandburg lied and Zuck covered it up. Both are guilty of lying to Congress.
If you're such a butt-hurt partisan pain in the faggot ass that you have to make yourself the "real victim" in every scenario, we're just going to lock you up next to Don Jr. and let you really suffer for a while.
Your comment would seem to indicate you have some special hatred for "faggot"s. You must be a Republican. How dare you soil this forum with your frothing hate speech.
Yet people still move the fuck out of the way when they say it's headed their way don't they?
So... "Fake and inaccurate" if it causes me to change my shitty ways but... "True and accurate enough" for your dumb assess to get the hell outta dodge when they say it's coming.
Y'all are anti vaxxers too huh? Bet you still go to a hospital when you're really sick though. Duplicitous cowards, the lot of you.
Shit, I didn't even post as an AC. Guess I'm just not "woke" enough to hide like a pussy.
I can post as subscriber and not AC and disagree with you in part and without denigrating you personally. Models are necessary and the money spent on them is in many cases well spent. However, it should not be to the exclusion of protection. Additionally, the models are only as good as the data that is put in to them. Just this week, the publishers of a peer-reviewed research paper were forced to make significant modifications to their conclusions when a mathematician published a critique of their work. This does happen. There is definitive proof that sometimes the data sets that are used to feed the models are substantially flawed and that of course has a dramatic affect on the outcome.
Does mankind have a limited affect on climate? yes, I believe we do. Is mankind's influence on climate the sole cause of change? Of course not. Can we solve climate change? We can have a limited affect on the climate.
These are reasonable statements.
Getting angry and emotional about your position leads to nothing getting resolved. Stop being part of the problem.
I fail to see the connection between supposedly Russian email address domains and Trump committing treason. But, buy that same tortured logic, Clinton is just as likely to be involved in nefarious dealings related to email.
I used AirBnB a few times about 4 years ago. But I got turned off by them when they pushed their updated EULA that required me to promise that I would not be a dick to people. The word salad they used was a great deal more hipster and included phrases meant to make them look like they were the perfect little SJW's. Bottom line is that I don't need some company preaching to me that I have to behave a certain way or I can't use their product. Fine, I'll do both. I'll continue to be a nice person and I won't use their product.
Honestly though, it wouldn't bother me if AirBnB is discovered to be a social evil and ends up at the mercy of government regulation or simply goes out of business. They demonstrated a great deal of hubris with that EULA demand and if you choose to believe this survey, appear to be worse than the people they wanted to socially engineer. And I still don't miss using their product.
Happiness in life for me comes from doing something for someone else. It's that simple. I take care of myself as needed to accomplish that primary task but even if it means taking out the trash for my wife or helping a co-worker track down a rogue device on our network, those admittedly small and inconsequential things matter. And after some 37 years of post pubescent understanding of that goal, I think I'm pretty flippin' happy. I would even go so far as to say this; even if doing for others doesn't lead to your understanding the meaning of life or why you're here, why not do that in the mean time. Maybe you will discover that your purpose here is to count sand. No harm comes from doing mostly good until then.
But nah, most of the people I encounter on a daily basis are clearly more interested in doing for themselves and I pity them for their loss.
i stoped using adblocker when they didthat proxy's and posibly no scripts(noscipt does other good things too).
there are list to use too and you can use more than one plus any customs easy list's arepretty good. you will need a browser that embeds the adblocker lists or a addon that lets you customize it.
I'm not a grammar or spelling perfectionist. You are welcome to continue to mangle words and sentences in any manner you like. But, you must be prepared to accept that if you can't be bothered to at least make an effort to properly structure a sentence I won't be bothered to grant your comment any credibility.
I have two active Android devices. On my phone, I run Venom Rom. I just updated to N and am quite content with the build, features and functionality. On my tablet, I run a build of my own make. It's pretty buggy but I've been using this platform to teach myself so nothing is lost. I also run an Android VM on one of my home PCs. It has a custom ROM as well but much like my tablet and for the same reason, it is pretty buggy too.
See the comment above. All three states are controlled by R and R politicians are the ones that put forward these bills. Perhaps it will NOT be the GOP that is going to try to put the smack down, down. sigh
$15/month to listen to someone read a fucking book. Really? I wonder how much people will pay to have their ass wiped after a good shit?
I listened to over 200 books in 2015 during my 2 hour daily round trip for work. I own well over 400 real books that I read over the years. I couldn't possibly have read 200 books with the little spare time I have so go stuff your mightier than thou attitude. And yeah, $15 a month for books that typically run about 15 hours at normal playback speed is a good deal for entertainment.
I spent about 10 min researching the CA DMV web site looking for this. Perhaps 10 min isn't enough but would you mind providing a citation. This is the closest I've been able to find... https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/...
Specifically, I'm looking for information on the "reasonable speed which is defined as 85 percentile of all the cars on the road" part. I see a reference to "reasonable speed but my own interpretation of this doesn't agree with your assessment.

I live in North Central Texas. I haven't watered my lawn for two years (still pretty green). I recycle. I have my lights on timers so I never forget to turn them off. I adjust the timers as needed. I use low energy bulbs. I use a programmable thermostat and have gotten used to being a little warmer or a little colder as the seasons change. My wife and I both have to work but we own cars that are easier on the gas. I'm not going to list every lifestyle change I've made in support of doing my part. I am a reasonable person when it comes to conservation and being environmentally friendly. I think man does contribute to climate change. I think we can make reasonable changes to how we live and that those changes may negate some of the issues. But I also believe that some of us are willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. Not all of the suggestions I've read for reducing our footprint are viable right now. Perhaps in the future we can (and should) revisit some of the less doable ideas. But an objection based on practicality or inability doesn't mean a person is an Earth burning ludite,lowIQ,moronic,sciencehatingidiot.
That's where I get wrapped around the axle on this subject. When a nuanced opinion is categorized as being from a denier and when the mouthpiece for the message is a hypocrite. This all-or-nothing, burn em all to the ground attitude toward people that don't agree with you 100% is self-defeating.
All of the test subjects were instructed to pretend to be part of various classes of society. How is pretending to be rich, poor or middle class while walking down a street supposed to discover how people that are actually rich, poor or otherwise truly behave? Everyone has preconceived notions of how people in other classes behave. If you think that rich people walk with a swagger, you're going to walk with a swagger when instructed to pretend to be rich.
I get that the researchers were attempting to isolate behavioral changes based on differences in environmental circumstances but I would have been more impressed if they had actually recruited real wealthy people to put on the glasses and do the walk. Seems to me that by not doing that, they artificially influenced the actual test subjects by allowing for those subjects to exercise their own bias.
There is no level where hate speech does NOT fall firmly OUTSIDE the harm principle - so literally the most libertarian interpretation of freedom short of "might makes right" is perfectly compatible with anti-hate-speech laws. It's founders wouldn't have said so - but they didn't have access to the knowledge we now do. A philosophy that is not willing to update based on new scientific knowledge is not a philosophy - it's a dangerous cult.

Technically, I use in car navigation but only through Android Auto. The native navigation works reasonably well and does have real-time traffic as long as I'm willing to pay for the built-in data link. However, the interface for its use is woefully inadequate and thus dangerous to use unless I'm at a full stop. As a Systems Engineer, I'm of course technically savvy but I am getting a little older and I have to wear glasses now. This leads me to what might be an overabundance of caution regarding fiddling with my gadgets and "infotainment" system while I'm driving. Thus, Android Auto and voice recognition comes to my rescue.
One day perhaps, in-car device developers and engineers will hire UI experts before the design process starts but I'll not hold my breath.
I don't know which ones are worse, the ones that think they're entitled to a "retirement" or the ones who don't have the good grace to die off and make some room for youngsters in the labor force.
So I suppose it's safe to say that when it comes time for you to shuffle off your mortal coil, you'll slip yours without complaint and make your passing as convenient as possible for the kids.
That being the case, why not save them a few thousands of bucks and take care of that little detail now?
There isn't a need for a haven, he just wants a place to be mean and disagree with me. Equating free speech with being mean to me and disagreeable demeans free speech and needs to stop!
And a percentage of pedestrians act as if the 7000 pounds of steel, glass and explody stuff can stop like an arcade vehicle with no "laws of physics" constraints, or acknowledgment of human limitations like reaction time. Yeah, it goes both ways. Some drivers are assholes. Some pedestrians are assholes too.

Sorry, here are the actual numbers:
2016 - Trump: 60,071,650 (47.5%) Still counting with approximately 9.5 million untabulated votes remaining
2012 - Romney: 60,933,504 (47.2%)
2008 - McCain: 59,948,323 (45.7%)
2004 - Bush: 62,040,610 (50.7%)
2000 - Bush: 50,456,002 (47.9%)
Most of your point remains. The media couldn't possibly have been more in the tank for Sec Clinton.
