TFA mentions that he ate gruel and grains and that was probably to blame for his poor dental health. They're also blaming mechanical damage from tool holding and chewing sand with his gruel. I find it pretty unlikely that he would eat sandy gruel, they were prehistoric, not stupid. If they were stupid, we wouldn't have gotten the chance to be as stupid as we are as a race.
so, it sounds like he had the original price wrong. Lets say we start off with 20 cents per gallon, then at the current price of $27 per ounce of silver (and a dime is roughly a tenth of that) a dime is worth $2.70. So, 20 cents worth of silver then now buys you $5.40 worth of gas which is significantly more than a gallon since a gallon costs $3.50 or so. So, the point is that the thesis was correct and then some, even if the details weren't.
There is nothing inherently immoral in the use, or trafficking of meth, heroin, or the next big thing in soma-jolting chemistry. It is only illegal by government fiat. In a free country one should be free to recreate with drugs and injure oneself in self-chosen manners provided it doesn't infringe upon someone else's freedom. True freedom is freedom to do as one wishes while not causing direct harm to others.
omg! They have the audacity to destroy the economy of a group of people whose land they happen to be illegally occupying. Zomg! They have the audacity to decide they like any piece of land being farmed by a Palestinian and illegally raze the land and put up new condos for their "settlers". Zomg^2! They can roll up to any Palestinian occupied farm, park their mobile home, claim harassment and soon have a garrison of Israeli stormtroopers protecting "their" newly settled land. Not to mention the bombing of innocent women and children.
actually, such is the power of a group in controlling American media and thus the mindset of the average moron, mod gp up.

In point of fact, most US fire departments are staffed almost completely with volunteers.
take note kids, this is what happens when you only eat lentils. Get some beer, sausage and cake down your throat and remove yourselves from this kind of miserable existence.:)
I weigh in at 135 lbs, highly unlikely to carry more than 40 lbs of luggage and I am supposed to subsidize fat people? People who pack heavy? Why is that ok? Oh, because you're fat, got it. It's all good as long as _you_ are ok with it, I guess.
Fat people very distinctly are victims of the "food" provisioning system in the region they live in (as well as to some degree poor nutritional choices). However, this might perhaps help them realize that there are costs (beyond just physical discomfort, heart disease, unattractiveness, and early death) that come with being obese or fat.
I fail to see the irony. They got bombed by the US with nukes, had one plant go and melt down. That is surely bad but, why do you imagine there is irony involved?
I use a scratch variant called BYOB ( or Snap!), it comes out of Berkeley. We are using the "Super Scratch Programming Adventure" book although I first started with the Scratch "Getting Started" tutorial until I felt each whole class had a strong grasp on the fundamentals. The book actually does a good job of introducing the scratch IDE, which is something the getting started tutorial is lacking in. I am using it to teach 1st - 5th graders, the main difficulty with teaching it to the lower grades is that their spelling is not strong enough across the board so they sometimes pick the wrong blocks. Based on my limited experience (only been at it for about three months), it probably is best for 3rd - 8th graders as a first language and good for maybe 2-3 years before the students should move to another language. The reason I chose BYOB over Scratch is that BYOB stands for Build Your Own Blocks, that is, users can build their own named reusable functions, something that is lacking in Scratch. To be clear, BYOB is a superset of scratch. Kids really really really like learning BYOB/Scratch, I teach about 5 classes and the only objections I've had have been from some of the teachers who don't understand what the value is in programming. Some students also withdraw if they don't understand but once they get extra help and catch up, they too begin to enjoy it. I teach at a very racially mixed school of mixed socioeconomic demographics and all of the kids are doing great, no hand chosen group of testers for me.
From TFA it seems the workers themselves, driven by desperate financial circumstances, are deliberately circumventing the exposure measurements so they can earn more money before they are cast aside like a used up rubber after hitting their radiation quota.
I know it is beside the point, but rumor has it gorillas are not particularly well endowed. So, while it might be bloody and violent, it would be so probably primarily to the unlucky Google user being torn limb from limb or torn to bits and probably eaten.
I agree with you regarding access to voting and it not needing to be a PITA.
I disagree that them learning English is as far from our competition as we can get. Right now, I can't compete for telemarketing jobs in China, or copy editor, or news writer in Mandarin mainly because of the language barrier. Remove that and suddenly several billion Chinese are afraid for their editorial type jobs.
I wasn't advocating a moral filter, just pointing out that if you argue that one person helping Chinese be more competitive (I was actually thinking of you more as a corporate drone) doesn't make a difference, then neither does your vote.

work 7 days, you sound terribly boring, best to keep you away from people who are aware that life is for living.
Yes, at Sprouts and Trader Joes, that's where I get mine.

you mean, all four of their kneecaps?
that's ok, because I then boycott them twice as much, lets see who runs out of money first.

I think AC is right, this might have been posted by Samoa Air on April 1st and is just now getting to this timely site.
forgot to say, it is not discrimination, it is just passing on the costs of lugging their lard-asses around

That's only cause Big Coal and Big Oil have much stronger lobbies than little nuclear...
