I just don't understand why the USA should do anything about the residual effects. They won the place. Let them have it. Perhaps they can find a use for the chemicals somewhere in electronics and send them back inside of iPads?
I opened an unexpected package via UPS once and it was a very nice set of Adams Tightlies. I have to admit I was very tempted to move them into my sports equipment locker.:) But I called UPS and reported it. When they picked it up they didn't even say "thank you".
We've only been keeping records for 150 (?) years. Geologically that's nothing. That's even nothing related to the time since the last ice age ended, back when global warming was thought to be a good thing. (not sure who thought that though.:)
I think it's because your post is obviously not supporting the US democratic party liberal point of view and the democratic liberal view holders are intolerant of any other viewpoints.
IMHO, it would be great if all of the default apps were removed, but available in a special app-store category. Then I wouldn't have to have a folder called "Useless" that contains the default apps that can't be deleted (if you don't jailbreak your phone). Or, they could come pre-installed if they could just be deleted from the device.
Same issue seems to exist on Android, though. Pre-installed apps are just there taking up space and there's nothing you can do about it without rooting your device.
IMHO, untrue. I can't find an authoritative definition of "casual expression". But I define it as a commonly used phrase with a well understood meaning that differs from the literal meaning of the words used in the phrase. Similar to an idiom. For example, the casual expression "dumb ass" is understood to be a lark expressing disagreement rather than commenting on your lack of posterior intellect and usually not intended to inflict harm.
What's casual to a group of whites might well be offensive to a group of blacks. And what's casual to a group of men can be (rightfully) highly offensive to a mixed gender group.
Those "casual expressions" are not harmless and simply because they are casual or common in some circles doesn't mean they are in all circles.
I was at a presentation once where the vendor (presenter) said "...now lets look under the skirts and see what inside." The women in the audience were not amused. Another time, someone said of a new partner "Let's get into bed with these guys and make it work." Again, some women didn't appreciate it.
I guess if I was the person that was constantly under treat of rape from a surrounding group of people that were much larger and outnumbered me greatly, I might want to keep the phrasing professional as well.
It is a simple trade off. The cost to develop and then carry and charge the per unit cost for a beautiful out of the box (unwrapping) experience flies in the face of delivering a price leading technical product. While Apple seems proud to lead in the high price category and has the margin and market power to get the $10 per unit their packaging might cost, it is a difficult place to accept additional unit costs in a more normally competitive market.
The movie was ridiculous from the word go and anyone that tries to eat the food from any restaurant exclusively for several weeks gets what he deserves. The movie is more funny than anything, showing just how stupid some people can be.
Right. The Feds place a lot more value on themselves than is merited. If my life was on the line the last people I'd want to have to depend on are the Feds. Give me a local fireman or rescue guy anytime.
Also, tell the idiot Feds to build their own cloud. What idiots would put what they think are life critical services on the public net? Have these idiots learned nothing from the constant hacks on government data and resources from individuals and other governments?

I think you missed his point.
What happened to the plan to bury it in Harry Reid's front yard?
Some people have all the luck.

Perhaps, just for consideration, we really do not understand?
Say it with me...it won't hurt...
"We do not know"

The risk is that some loon will do something of global scope that plunges us into a glacial ice age.
Sorry...didn't see your same point already posted.
Science abhors a vacuum. It requires the generation of an explanation for everything and the answer "I don't know yet" is apparently not acceptable.
Not unlike "dark matter" and "dark energy" which I heard described as "I don't know #1" and "I don't know #2". Refreshingly honest.
People here seem to forget why hypothesis and theories exist and don't appreciate the value of differing opinions. Like children, perhaps?
Less than a half degree warmer than 1935.
Any form of energy used results in the release of heat.
...who WAS washing...
Those idiots in the State of Washington better get with the program. Otherwise they are going to be left out in the cold.

How much will you pay me to design it?
...or just a self-serving idiot?
By definition, casual expressions are harmless.

But hey, thanks for proving my point...
Is that what this is all about?

Why do you choose to demean janitors by contrasting them with lawyers?

And is the theory of global warming based on small changes in atmospheric CO2 levels really true?
Or is it caused by lower levels of magnetic field strength resulting from a slightly slower core spin rate?
Or is it part of a normal and self-limiting cycle relating to vegetation levels and solar reflectance?
Great idea. Then in 20 years when we have another unexplained period of global cooling maybe we will have some glaciers form in Scotland and Germany.
Who will make money from this BS and will the people that depend on the fish in those same southern oceans be amused?

God did. And still does, everyday.
