I never said light weights. Are you so lacking in character that you need to speak negatively about people who prefer less alcohol consumption in order to feel like you have worth?

Why do you think toughness equates to alcohol tolerance? oh, right, you have a small mind. Considering Warnog has a flavor so complex it can't be replicated perfectly, AND Klingon have heightened sense compared to humans, it is likely to have less alcohol.
He said no such thing. He said a certain type of person who has said certain things are racist. Here is the quote Bold be me, natch..
"When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds," the Democrat who served from 1977-1981 told students at Emory University.
"I think people who are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be African American.
"It's a racist attitude, and my hope is and my expectation is that in the future both Democratic leaders and Republican leaders will take the initiative in condemning that kind of unprecedented attack on the president of the United States," Carter said.
You really know nothing about what happened, do you? commentary magazine? please. For one example of how bad that article is, just look at the fact that the blame carter for the Russian military build up even though it started well before he was president, it just happened to peak during his presidency.
I think it's ok to have a pool of money to keep people insured and healthy. I also think it's ok if some people decide to use the for a contraceptive.
The money goes into a pool. These fanatics who want to shove their belief down everyone throats aren't paying directly for contraceptives.
"When it's clear that there are some legitimate religions that are vehemently opposed to all abortions on religious grounds?" That doesn't man they get to twist policy to make every bend to there belief. They don't like abortion? well then, they shouldn't have them. It's not OK to use religion to force other people into what you believe.
"Hell, forcing someone who's anti-abortion on religious grounds to pay for abortifacients would be akin to forcing someone opposed to capital punishment to pay for a private execution."
no it is not becasue they don't pay directly, they pay into a pool like everyone else.
I'll never get pregnant, but my money goes into a pool, some of which will be used for pregnant women.
They had to have a first mission sooner or later. They were as prepared as the could have been for the times. Just so you know, carter approved aborting the mission and they where on there way back when the accident happened. Along with a general, but I don't remember his name.
The pubs loved to go on like Carter personally killed each one of those men. It was the CIA that refused to do any more missions because they had already negotiated for the release of the hostages without white house knowledge to correspond with Reagan swearing in. There were released 20 minutes after he was sworn in. I remember Cronkite talking about this that summer.
I am not saying Carer wasn't responsible, just that you should no the facts.
*There are indicators it was an exchange for weapons. No proof.
What? no. The mission had been aborted. Is was refueling after the abort when a helicopter crashed into a refueling aircraft.
While it was Carter responsibility, it was Kissinger the convinced Carter to allow the shah into the US for medical treatment.
The release was staged by the CIA to happen just after Reagan was sworn in. hen the pubs take responsibility for hem being release while ignoring the 444 days that happened prior. It was pretty well known this was going to happen, and the CIA refused to do any more rescue missions.
The holloween massacre created a rift between the white house the CIA.
Yes, I know it all sound tin foil hatish, but you can easily verify all of it.
NO they were NOT using scientific methods. Not at all.
What they used was called "Observational bias" with no null hypothesis, and no trials, nothing blinded, no taking the placebo effect into account. The VAST MAJORITY of what they did, did nothing, A few times they got lucky.
"How many remedies have big pharma introduced which have subsequently proven to be disastrous because they either fudged their numbers, or hid the data which indicated that either their stuff didn't work or was dangerous?" not many at all, actually. Some? yes. Those do get found out with time.
However the vast majority of the treatments are based on solid science
" And then the advertise directly to consumers " Which should stop.
"That's not medicine, that's big business." those are not mutual exclusive.
Actually. you can tell someone it's a placebo and it still has an affect. It's usually a shorter effect.
A Dr. handing someone a pamphlet causes the placebo effect. IN fact, it' a placebo effect that's just as strong as chiropractic treatment for lower back pain.
The placebo effect doesn't cure anyone of anything. It may allow them to feel better. The strength and length of the 'feeling better' will be determined by a lot of factors. It SEEMS, based on research, that when you have a problem your brain keeps alerting you with an increased awareness of a pain. Once you have done 'something' the brain ignores the pain for a little while. That was a very small nutshell. There are some interesting neurological papers and blogs on the topic.

Yes, elegant code does equal good code.
Your example is not elegant.
that is easy to read.
No magic numbers, no overly clever recursion, consistent implementation and easy to read names.

ds9? I was talking about real Star Trek.
Boom!
I thought I was being a funny comic guy parody. Apparently I breach some sort of Poe law variant limit.
I never said light weights.
Are you so lacking in character that you need to speak negatively about people who prefer less alcohol consumption in order to feel like you have worth?
I see what you did there. I am watching you...
And you know Klingon alcohol tolerance..how?
Why do you think toughness equates to alcohol tolerance? oh, right, you have a small mind.
Considering Warnog has a flavor so complex it can't be replicated perfectly, AND Klingon have heightened sense compared to humans, it is likely to have less alcohol.
when talking about solar, money per watt is usually the cost of the cell divided by the watt output.
So a 200 watt solar panel* that cost 100 dollars would be 50 cents a watt.
*yes I just changed it form cell to panel.

That doesn't man he didn't break the law. Or do we allow people off from trial for good intentions now?
yes. He broke the law, and a pretty serious one.
Is he a traitor? no.
You really know nothing about what happened, do you?
commentary magazine? please.

They have all the freedom not to get abortions.
Most sigs are like bible quotes. No one really thinks about them., but they make them feel good and they don'y have to think much

That's becasue the IRS does not actually care where the income comes from.
Only under court order do they report what you do to any other agency.
Yes, a product that isn't needed becasue other products that do that exist and taste a hell of a lot better.
I don't understand why people think he discovered something new.
"evidence based medicine "
yes. And its why Science based medicine doesn't.
