You actually think they will place these in building where people using WIC or food stamps live? Those people wouldn't pay for the markup this vending machine is destined to have.
Humanity always results in war. What do you think is going to happen when the global community tries to pressure Saudi Arabia into permitting gay marriage? They're going to say go to hell and what will the globalists do? There are only two choices, economic sanctions or military intervention.

Or the 3rd option: wait it out. As global demand for oil drops (and prices along with it) Saudi cash reserves have taken a massive hit lately and they have increased taxes, cut oil subsidies, and cut wages/bonuses in the past year or 2. In a world where alternative fuels grow increasingly accessible the Saudi quality of life is becoming increasingly unsustainable. If the US, UK, and France were to cut off military imports to Saudi Arabia as well, the country could easily collapse in the next few decades.

BMW i3 is a good example that designing an electric-only car is no guarantee of success. Haven't driven it, but from the perspective of practicality:
-very high floor and low ceiling in the rear, thus nowhere to put your legs, feet, and head
-cannot open rear doors without first opening the front
-front doors ~10 cm wider than in most cars
The first two make it a two-person car. The last two make it useless in tight parking spaces. It is so much larger on the outside than even e.g. Smart ForFour or VW e-Up (in which four average-sized adults can sit just fine) that I really don't see a point.
Look and feel of the i3 interior, on the other hand, is fantastic.
You also forgot it's ugly as shit, especially that damn 2-tone exterior. That's why so many people have gushed over Tesla: their cars actually look good.
There was no precedent for 53" of rain, or the dams in the reservoirs to have to be opened unleashing millions of gallons of water into neighborhoods that had never flooded before.
I understand from a coworker who has family in Houston (and actually in South Florida as well) that FEMA is telling people that got flooded when they opened the dams that they aren't covered with disaster relief funds since the storm itself didn't cause the damage.
1) The person who created the fake web site/law firm/etc. and perpetrated the fraud.
2) Amazon, since they did not do due diligence and ensure that the complaint was legit. And if there original fraudster (see 1) cannot be found, that even makes Amazon's due diligence look even worse.
Step 1: Sell items on Amazon.
Step 2: Send a fake infringement notice to Amazon using fake law firm.
Step 3: Amazon pulls your products off their site.
amazon will pay or do hard time this may be at least in part an criminal case.
Amazon might be liable in a civil court, but not a criminal court. Even money someone at Amazon pulled up the website, saw what looked like a law firm , then approved the request. It might be negligent, but not criminal. Certainly not enough for criminal charges unless they can prove Amazon knew it was a false request. That would be like someone taking a taxi to a bank and then robbing it, so the police arrest the cab driver for conspiracy to commit robbery.
In Germany, we use paper ballots which are counted manually. The software is only used for transmitting and aggregating results. Every part of the process that is handled by the software is observable by the public and can be verified by the public. If the people who do the counting at the polling places make a note of the result and check that it matches what is published upstream and that the aggregation is done correctly upstream (from public input to public output according to defined, simple algorithms), then any manipulation that a hacker could inject through the flaws in this software is detectable.
Arguably it is better for the manipulator that it is detected. Sure, by manipulating the tally secretly you might get your preferred candidate elected but it would still have to be a one of the leading candidates otherwise you rouse suspicion, meaning the damage is limited. If you can invalidate the government in such a public way then you start undermining the trust the population has for the government. Shake the population's confidence in government and you have done real damage.
Don't believe me? Box office receipts and retail numbers are tanking this year, because ordinary people have less disposable money (even as easy Fed monetary policy is keeping equity/real estate prices at record highs)
Or new movies are shit and people prefer to buy stuff online because they don't get pressured by salespeople trying to keep up with ever increasing and desperate sales demands from struggling retailers.
"...Christian sites in the Sinai Desert began to disappear."
That tends to happen when the inhabitants are brutally murdered and the structures burned, as was usually the case.
Oh, like in the Crusades when sacking Christians armies would often wipe out every inhabitant-whether Jewish, Muslim, or Christian-of a conquered city?
I believe if you're going to take down religions you have to do so in order.
After you defeat Scientology you get to fight Mormonism. Then Protestant Christianity, then Islam, then Catholicism, then Confucianism, then Buddhism, then Judaism, then Hinduism. And then you get to the good part! You have to fight Bahamut, Gilgamesh, Ra, _and_ Tiamat. And only after you've beaten those four do you get to fight Cthulhu.
You forgot Sikhism, but it's probably a good idea to avoid that one since you know they're armed.
Movies are also simply being out-gunned by Good TV shows. I'm betting that Sunday evenings have been hit hard by GoT this summer.
Might get hit even worse next summer. Haven't they said that all of the episodes in the final season of GoT (which is a shorter season) are going to be longer? The finale itself was almost 1.5 hours, and these days a lot of movies struggle to fill 1.5 hours. So for all purposes HBO is going to be showing a new GoT movie every week of the season.
While it might be highest in terms of raw numbers, if you take into effect the cost of living in places where tech jobs tend to be located, the actual standard of living afforded by that wage might be lower than for someone working in a career that pay less but is located in a cheaper area.
My grandfather actually coached at ETSU for years, and I grew up going to their basketball camps. Problem is they live on the opposite side of Elizabethon from JC so it's a good 40-60 minute drive just to get there. The closest thing to entertainment Elizabethon has is a drive in theater and the Elizabethon Twins rookie league team.
My dad's side of the family lives in Elizabethton near Johnson city. My grandfather was the only one out of 4 kids that got out. There's nothing to do there, but it is a decent place to visit for a long weekend
So to you police killing people only becomes a problem when, olet's say, 20% of all daily enocunters end with shooting a civilian???
Killing someone is THE MOST EXTREME EVENT POSSIBLE. It is over, finished, the person is DEAD, you moron.
No. In fact I have argued on Slashdot multiple times that police should be directed to fire only in response to an actual threat to themselves or a civilian, and that "I feared for my life" is not an excuse. Police have body armor and training, and go into the profession knowing there is a chance of death. Personally, I feel that police need to go back to being "officers of the peace" instead of "law enforcement officers". Of course, since Trump just rolled back the Obama administration ban on providing surplus military equipment to local police forces, things are only going to get worse. What the fuck do police need bayonets for, not to mention MRAPs and 40mm grenade launchers. Just a few summers ago I once saw a camouflaged State Patrol hummer doing a traffic stop. It's ridiculous.

what about...WIC and food stamps?

Define "preemptive" attack?
When Kim launches another ICBM over Japan, is that an act of war and can we respond or not?
Launching an ICBM over a state=provocation.
Launching an ICBM at a state=act of war.

The Equifax executives needed time to sell off their stock
Huh. None of the Muslims I know have ever tried to do any of that to me. Try being less of a douche and maybe they will stop trying to kill you.
Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Even here, there will be many comments along the lines of, "Yeah, yeah, plastic in the water is bad - but I'm more worried about X in the water."
I'd be more worried too if I found out there was Ecstasy in the water.
Talk to me when livable houses are available for under $300k and a decent new car is under $30k.
My 2000sq ft house was under 200k 2 years ago (although now worth well over 200k), and my 2014 Focus only cost $15k. You must be doing it wrong.
