Just head on down to Louisiana and pick up a batch of Cajuns from the bayou and they will have those crayfish under control in no time. Don't bother bringing in snakes or gators to control the Cajuns though, they'll eat those too.
They expressly declared they were kneeling to protest America and refuse to recognize the flag. This is some marvelous attempt to shift the goal post you've made though.
You've drunk too much of the kool-aid. And don't forget, Trump's hated the NFL ever since the USFL days (when a decision he made pretty much forced the league out of business)
A) They were kneeling in protest of the national anthem.
And no, they weren't. They specifically said they choose to kneel rather than sit during the anthem out of respect for the anthem. They are protesting the fact that they believe the ideals of the anthem are no longer extended towards their community, especially police brutality. And with the militarization and adversarial nature of police these days, who can blame them? Hell, even white Australian female tourists are being shot by police now!
"One nation, under god"? Besides, the flag/national anthem represents the nation (not the military) so bowing before them shows reverence for the country.
I grew up about 20 minutes from where I live now, and I actually live in a more rural area now than when I grew up. But I've noticed the same trend at my grandparent's house in another state, and they have lived in the same house for 25 years and the overall area has stayed the same in terms of development level.
In football, as with many other sports, both teams will often kneel if a player is injured. Especially so if it is a major injury. Religions around the world have you kneel to pray, and people have been kneeling before royalty for centuries. Kneeling shows respect and a measure of subservience or devotion to the target of your kneeling. So why should it be "disrepectful" to kneel for the national anthem? If anythung, that should be more respectful than standing for it.
I've noticed that during the summers growing up even just 2 decades ago fireflies were all over the place. Now they are a rare sight. Sadly though, whatever has done in the fireflies hasn't done much to the mosquitoes around here.
If they want to teach computer science (and not software development or programming) a text on abstract algebra or discrete mathematics is likely going to help more than anything with "computer" in the title.
So Abstract Algebra and Discrete Mathematics for Computers is a no go then?
Hobby Lobby is in a different situation as they were not trying to hit the radar. A bunch of people started protesting and making allot of noise even though Hobby Lobby did actually pay for many forms of birth control. Unfortunately with that protest crowd it's give us all for free or you might as well as give us nothing.
I'm angry with Hobby Lobby more due to the fact that they decorated their headquarters with artifacts stolen from Iraq during the Iraq War/ISIS.
...prevent cases where prisoners gain access to the driving compartment of squad cars and escape, overpower/kill the cops...
Are these cases common? My attempts at finding examples are turning up little. A couple of tragic bus incidents and a case from '89 where somebody got in the back seat with a gun.
It's not terribly common, looks like maybe 1-2 times a year based on my Google search.
Apple will just argue that iPhones sold under the "upgrade"program where you turn it in for a new phone every year or 2 are not actually "sold", but rather leased and therefore this bill does not apply to them.
Prisoner transport. I can picture arresting a person and instead of throwing them in the back of a squad car, throwing them in a pod that then either drives straight back to the precinct or convoys back with the squad car to the precinct. Would help prevent cases where prisoners gain access to the driving compartment of squad cars and escape, overpower/kill the cops, etc and, with proper monitoring, cases like the guy (in Baltimore?) who got driven around so hard in a paddy wagon they basically broke his neck.
If N Korea launched you think the Chinese wouldn't be part of the invasion (just to protect their own interests)?
Depends what precipitated the launch. During this latest round of brinkmanship China basically said that they would honor their commitment to protect NK if an exchange or conflict arose due to American aggression (ie if we start it), but if NK does anything peremptorily they are on their own. Of course, China's interpretation of what would be enough to trigger a defense of NK is rather unclear, and would very likely depend on the context and political climate surrounding that action. But I would not be in any hurry to test that promise.
Being too old to be employed and having planned for retired life is making me look like a genius rather than a boomer asshole.
Or just looking like someone lucky enough to have been born at a time when you were still likely to accrue a pension your entire working life. Enjoy your starting at $300k 55+ "active adult" community that it seems makes up at least 50% of new home construction, driving up prices for everyone else.
it didn't work when the blue collar jobs went overseas and it's not going to work now. That's because:
b) it's kinda hard to work full time supporting the family you made when you had a job and go to school full time.
Did you even read the summary? From TFS:
Report highlights the urgent need for a massive reskilling programme, safety nets to support workers while they reskill, and support with job-matching.
And the summary is right. At some point we are either going to have to have massive retraining efforts, instill some sort of strong, robust social safety net (UBI, strong unemployment, whatever), or face the horribly destabilizing and violence-producing effects of massive numbers of idle, frustrated, unemployed people. It's your choice.
Or Altantians (?) refer to Little Five Points, Candler Park or Cabbage Town.
Lived near Little Five Points (kind of between Inman Park and the MLK center) while I was in grad school. I was underwhelmed. Never been to Candler Park. Have no fucking clue what Cabbage Town is though. OTP is so much better than ITP anyway.
Eh...I finally dropped it after 15 years...they're just not competitive on price any more. Things they post as "on-sale" are still 10-20% higher than their competitors. The auxiliary services (streaming video / music) I don't use as I have monster personal library, and Netflix respectively.
The turning point was finding a hockey bag on sale on Amazon for 110$, after a brief search on google (2nd hit) found it somewhere else for 40$ w/ free shipping. That happened on 3 or 4 semi-major purchases in a row.
Eh...I'll save that 100$ a year and spend it elsewhere until they fix some of their deceptive "sale" tactics.
I find Amazon is better for smaller, one-off type items. For example, my 2 year old dog finds phone charger cords to be rather tasty- she's chewed through at least 4-5 of mine (luckily just the standard USB-C) and one or tow of my wife's(Lightning, sadly). Every time she chewed through mine I'd have to run to the dollar store and buy another cord for $5. Got fed up, went to Amazon, and got a 6 pack of sturdy, flexible, and long cords from China for $12. There was also my small Black and Decker rice cooker I got as Black Friday deal 2 years ago for $7.

There is no such thing as "dry" in a Georgia summer

That depends. Are you a computer?
I don't think so. I guess it depends on which philosopher you talk to?

I haven't seen any "end of the world" comments on the interwebs.
It can't be the end of the world because I don't feel fine.
We clearly need speakers everywhere that will announce " This is not an exercise. This is a Police Control" for when it's not a drill.

So this would explain the rise in overweight mathematicians over the past couple decades....
So, the TFA claims phishing and social engineering are "physics-based attacks?" I'm not seeing it.
How would an attack on a sensor be based on phishing?
You could hit it with a fish
Jack Black? Are we talking about Tenacious-D or the White Stripes?
They need a battle of the bands type battle between Jack Black and Jack White. Maybe do it for charity or something. They can call it the Jack Off.

If someone steals your bag of bagels, how do you establish ownership?
If someone makes an analogy that in no way applies to the situation at hand, how do you respond?
Ask for it in a car analogy. You must be new here.
