No instead they have Michael Dell saying shit about Apple like "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders" which turned out to be remarkably arrogant and increasingly foolish since he said it.
It's not clear how arrogant and/or foolish it is, since the sun has not yet set on that argument. If Apple continues to prove that it's lost its way by refusing to listen to what customers are asking for, it may well turn out to be perfectly apt, albeit on a longer time scale than anyone expected. You can only call piss rain for so long before people get it in their eyes, and figure out that you're lying.
There is a reason Windows mimicked the Mac
Windows never mimicked Mac. Microsoft was on the Motif Working Group. Their GUI mimicked Unix, and vice versa, because Microsoft was part of designing Motif. That's why Windows 3.1 and Unix systems with Motif (and mwm) had virtually identical look and feel when it came to windowing operations, and widget set in general.
and Android followed the iPhone.
Android followed the iPhone, sure. Chronologically. But the two are quite different beasts in many ways, and the things they have in common weren't invented by Apple.
Dell's hardware is fine in general but they've had plenty of problems over the years. Measurably more than Apple most years if you believe the PC reliability rankings over the years.
I don't. I've used too many Dells, and too many Apples.
We get all the reports of Apple bugs here but never Dell bugs?
Because Dell doesn't talk shit like "you're holding it wrong", and because Dell hasn't tried to build a reputation as making computers which are easier to use than everyone else's. Also, because Dell seems to have less gigantic fuckups than Apple, per unit shipped.
I haven't looked forward to a game release in years. It's pretty simple... [etc.]
The last game I bought that met all your requirements was Fallout 4. So I'd add to that list "the game actually works correctly". I only paid $20 with season pass from cdkeys, but I would have been pissed right off if I'd paid full price. This is, far as I can tell, actually the lowest quality title in the entire Fallout universe. There've been quest-stopping bugs in literally every Fallout game except maybe Fallout Shelter (which just sucks, both because of stupid limitations which seem like they're from a decade earlier, but also because it's a point-click-drag game in which pointing, clicking, and dragging are all poorly implemented) but FO4 is by far the game in which I've encountered the most of them. I'm constantly in the console trying to get a mission to advance or complete, even though I've done all the right things.
Also, speaking of FO4, how about "the single-player campaign makes sense", because the end wrap-up of FO4 is just stupid. You can't make choices which make sense, only really dumb ones, even if you have all the charisma in the world.
Homeless come to California both of their own accord, and because others literally send them here. But where else do they go? Certainly not into the polar vortex to be flash-frozen.
This is the real federal emergency. AOC's proposed non-binding resolution aside, some have long agitated for a "green new deal" that would focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems whose health is necessary for the maintenance of our way of life. Granted, some homeless want to be homeless, but the majority want what everyone else wants - their own little piece of the American dream, with a home and a job, and food, and medical care. Give them restoration jobs and we all benefit. But California can't afford to do that for all the nation's homeless without help.
We must hang together, or we will certainly all be screwed.
You can have an ordained universe without geocentricism. If their God is so great, he can make a universe, and not just a planet. Their failure is one of imagination, and it is arguably blasphemous in the bargain as it limits their supposedly unlimited deity.
While I understand the sentiment, I don't think that's the best approach. The only real "income" a corporation makes is profits. Taxing revenue would end up hurting consumers. Taxing profits does not.
Not taxing corporate revenues also ends up hurting consumers, by letting rich people use corporations as tax dodges, and by letting corporations use creative accounting to hide profits, and thus avoid paying taxes. Hollywood, anyone?
When I get a spare key, usually a redundant key included with a bundle, I post it on a vintage gamers' group I belong to. Usually, nobody bothers to redeem it:)
The reality is that if the vast majority of low income families really wanted the fresh fruits and vegetables these people claim, why doesn't someone take out an SBA loan and open up a produce stand? The rent is low, wages are low, and apparently the demand is great -
Economies of scale. If you want to provide produce in such a market you will end up spending more money to acquire stock because you have less purchasing power. That's why supermarket chains can afford to do it, but the person who lives on the corner can't.
according to people that live outside the community and shop at Whole Foods.
Those people shop at Whole Foods because they can afford to. What does that have to do with the price of tea in china, or the price of tomatoes in the ghetto?
Residents fear the stores deter other business, especially in neighborhoods without grocers or options for healthy food
You can't drive away something that's already not there even without you.
deter verb: deter; 3rd person present: deters; past tense: deterred; past participle: deterred; gerund or present participle: deterring discourage (someone) from doing something by instilling doubt or fear of the consequences.
Don't tell that to a communist around here, they put nordic countries as examples of successful socialism.
They're successful in their own way, but their success depends on exporting oil and/or weapons systems. One imagines from ignorance that they survive the cold by watching a fire burn, but in fact it's by watching the world burn.
peer reviewed science shows an expected 100% mortality rate for those that get the measles vaccine, it's just as dangerous as dihydrogen oxide or facebook use
I know the guy who made the NO DHMO meme popular to begin with, the point of that was to encourage skepticism and independent thought. But that's not what anti-vaxxers are engaging in. They're actually even more mindless sheep than the people they call mindless sheep.
Clearly, huge rule lists will be slower than small rule lists. Cronin says the rule list size limit will be increased, though there will still be a limit.
There's no technical reason why there has to be a limit that users will run into. It's their problem if the browser gets slower, not google's. I call shenanigans.
That's only vaguely true if you've been conned into believing that what the grocery store has is ripe, fresh food. Leafy greens aside, that isn't the case. Produce has to be picked under-ripe to even be shipped successfully, as supermarkets do it anyway. It's often gassed to force ripening (depending on product) and much of it lies around in cold storage for long periods before hitting store shelves. Most of this is a side effect of consumers demanding the same produce be on shelves all year, although some of it results from sourcing produce internationally.
Then, as a sibling comment points out, there's the issue of toxic can liners. Cans are lined with either plastic or epoxy. Plastic liners are more resistant to breaking when cans are dented, but more likely to leach toxics into their contents. And the likelihood increases if the food involved is acidic, which it often is - even if it isn't naturally so like tomatoes, it's often made so in order to further increase shelf life.
However, much of what they sell isn't canned at all, but it is preserved. And preserved foods are typically pounded full of sugar in order to extend their shelf life. The proliferation of HFCS isn't all involved in its use as a sweetener; processed food manufacturers use it to replace vegetable oil! It has a similar effect on food texture, but doesn't go rancid like oils do. They then cram it full of citric acid in order to cancel out the sweetness. Citric acid has health benefits in small quantities, but in large ones it threatens gut biota, both challenging digestion and also potentially contributing to a host of problems associated with poor digestive system function.
There's plenty to object to in the limited selection of foodstuffs supplied by Dollar general and their ilk. If they successfully displace real markets, they can do real harm. And we're only talking about the food so far, and not the cheap plastic disposable bullshit that they sell, which only increases landfilling since it's such garbage.

Maybe they could just store it in a freezer, so as to keep it cold so it doesn't hurt precious religious snowflakes.
Because if history has told us anything about Google, it's that they will cancel a service just as soon as they get it working correctly.

Many of us wonder how she has held onto her job (and no, none of the things which probably have popped into your head there can explain this one).
If it's not nepotistic or sexual then it's probably blackmail-related. People who have things on people get to keep their jobs.
Like it or not, a company can only continue doing what it does if it exists.
I like it just fine. Let's destroy Goldman Sachs so it cannot continue doing what it is doing, cheerleading capitalism at all costs.

The idea of a progressive income tax on individuals and corporations is actually quite an innovation. It's the fairest way to pay for a civil society.
By all means, let's start taxing corporations on their income instead of their profit. That would help clear the dead wood.

In grownupland, actions have consequences.
It's not necessary to make things up for there to be consequences. Assault is a crime. Also, those who are inconvenienced can sue for damages.
I would love to see this put in motion, but with the political climate in the US, not going to happen.
Trump will make sure they get some funding if he thinks it will sufficiently distract people from his criminal misdeeds.
