If you are good to your people, they will be good to you. Treat them like disposable trash, and they will dump you in a minute, the soonest they can, and spit on your memory.
That used to be the way of business before the age of the bean counters getting their fingers on everything and believing that workers are as disposable as a broken calculator. Hell one of the first jobs I ever worked at in the 90's had a pension plan, even for the people on the ground floor making $6.25/hr(today's min wage is $11.25). Good luck finding that now.
Yes, but you're an idiot. And a bigot. Funny how that often correlates.
Gotcha. Facts hurt your feelings, and in turn a person is bigot for pointing out something factual that also hurts your feelings. Looks like we found the left wing regressive.
This is the part where you discover that eating lots of fat is also not bad or not as bad as they think. The studies have been coming hot and heavy on that one too, and it seems that hypertension is more directly related to our new lifestyle. This is echoed in other societies where they've followed the same path. One of the more interesting cases is southern okinawa, where the same is happening. People think it's the food and that's part of it, the other part is because the kids and middle-aged adults aren't doing what they did for the last 700+ years. Active working lifestyle farming, fishing and so on.
I don't know, Trump is the one who is openly advocating nuclear weapon proliferation in southeast Asia, which may actually be the very worst political idea I've heard yet in my 40 years.
No it's a good idea. Especially if you have never lived there, or have no family there that keeps you abreast of what's going on. MAD stopped the USSR and the US from destroying the world, China is a belligerent and has nuclear weapons. Other countries that are 1st world or somewhere between 3rd world and 1st don't have any. On top of that China has used it's ability to act in a unilateral manner because their neighbors don't have the ability to project their own power and secure their own national territory. See the most recent case with them building islands in territorially disputed areas to try to claim it. Hell at one point China tried to claim the entire water way up to 23 miles off the coast of the Philippines.
Strange, I thought it was hating the headscarf because it's a means of coercive punishment going as far as wearing a full bodybag in those countries on the other side of the world that like hacking peoples heads off while he states it's for religious reasons and the imams and madrassas tech that it's for religious reasons.
I'll never get notified of a reply, so hopefully I remember to come back and check, but why do you have a message to Reddiots on your sig? I mean this is/..
I'm guessing it's because there's a large swath of idiots who were never on/. in ye olde days but get mod points and like to mod things "troll or flamebait" if it's a post that hurts their feelings.
So it sounds more like you can be bothered to spend 10 minutes to do something, and would rather piss and moan over it. Box? Nearest grocery store. Packing tape? Go buy some, everyone needs to have a roll around. No paper? How do you print things? Oh no label? When you pick up the phone you tell them you need one.
Uh seriously man. Take it from someone who used to be a dock shipper for a company(from Fedex, UPS, Canpar to the big companies like TNT to GT Intermodal). You pick up the phone, call the 800/888 number, use the context menu or talk to a representative and tell them you have a package to pick up. They'll ask when you want it picked up(up to 11pm at night if a driver is still in town for companies liek Fedex/UPS), and you wait for the driver to come by, ring the bell and take the package.
Those instructions mean that since it's a durable good, you should have carrier insurance. But since it's a return you don't need to, but it's safer then sorry. You simply put the product value in the box and mark the "insured value" box with the price of the item being returned.
I was more indicating the Bundy Brothers... in Oregon, apparently.
You mean where it ended in a shootout, and there's an on-going grand jury investigation into misconduct by the FBI, where the FBI is refusing to disclose information? And it's come to light that the FBI had tampered with evidence before the shooting and after the shooting?
Pretty much. The local walmart(Ontario, Cdn) here has an Apple Store section with all their junk. In the year that it's been available they've sold 1 apple watch. The store management and area management can't even see a reason to have more then 2 in stock and took a different approach. If the product isn't available in store, they'll have it next day with a 13% discount(basically knocking the tax off).
This is not what I have questioned. My question was, WTF does Poland do in the EU in first place?
That's not what you asked though. What do you think any country in the EU does? Exploit the market, and create business opportunities. In Poland's case, it's mainly for protection against Russia.
Give the cities access to the idle cameras and cities would welcome them with open arms... free surveillance infrastructure!
These days a lot of cities have enough problems keeping the roads patched and streetlights in proper repair. Don't know about where you live, but here in Southern Ontario that's pretty much the norm.
Likely not for awhile. And with stuff like HBM(and memory on GPU die) in the pipe, I wouldn't expect that to happen for a decade or more, especially since computer video displays are moving into 4k. The reality is, there's never enough processing, memory, or bandwidth on a video card and there's plenty of limitations on current PC's that cause issues.
But buying a videocard became difficult? Hardly. Buy a good mid-range card for $150-200 every 5 years if you're not a hardcore gamer(though lots of games out there will be just fine 5 years down the road likely) or an enthusiast and go on your way. I expect my 7950 to get another 3 years easy with the current state of gaming and the state of development cycles. The only title that's actually hard pressed the card so far has been Witcher 3.
PC games are just as expensive, however they tend to have more frequent (and better) sales because the distribution is integrated with 3rd parties (steam, for example). With consoles, the distribution is restricted to the "official" digital stores. Without competition, sales are less frequent and of lower quality.
Nope. PC games on a regular basis sell $10 less then retail, and it's trivially easy to find 25% off sales for pre-orders from a variety of retailers.. FYI Steam is a 1st party for distribution sales. A 3rd party would be like GMG or Gamersrepublic.
Considering that there are areas of Ontario which are already approaching 18% unemployment as manufacturing plants shift to robotics to replace their workforce? The reality seems to be coming along more then not. Keep in mind that there are places in the EU now where the "young adult" unemployment rate is already 52%.
If you're not living in a major city in Canada $5000 will get you very far. In most of Canada, the full yearly disability claim is between $8k-12k/yearly and people are expected to live on that.
It's one of the reasons that Ontario and other provinces are looking at UBI. Canada unlike the US has huge seasonal workshift changes where you can be out of work for 6-8mo of the total work year simply due to weather or other circumstances beyond the persons control. Unemployment, welfare, disability and so on? Replace that all with a UBI system and we'll save tons of money.
Go to any black neighborhood. Look at the lack of cars, the iphones. The ghetto's, the expensive clothing. The obese children, the complete lack of fathers, the number of single mothers.
Obviously you can't trust them. Up next: AC states that eugenics is the solution.
An obvious solution would be to give people a basic income in return for agreeing to be sterilized.
So you're pro eugenics then. After all, you're talking about sterilizing 70% or so of the western world because there are no more jobs. Here in Ontario they're talking about a 50% loss in the total number of jobs by 2025 simply due to automation.
Nope. Your average cop doesn't want it, rather they'd like to see softer drugs like MJ regulated and sold. The best example? Let's say you're on a boat, that boat is filling with water but you're still bailing water to stay afloat. Right now? You're up to your neck in that shit, but you're still bailing water. That's what your frontline cops believe. The staff sgt's? Generally the same, but once you get into the higher ranks? Nope, they're against it. But they're also in their very late 40's or 50's.
They'd much rather have less to do in dealing with drugs, so they can focus on other things that have fallen by the wayside. Good examples of shit they'd rather be dealing with? Property theft, vandalism, and so on. You remove the problem with drugs, and it effects everything from theft from stores, to B&E's. I was working on being a constable a few years ago until I broke my back during training. And that's what your average cop would rather be doing, then showing up at work slapping on a bullet proof vest over top of their stab resistant vest. And hoping they're not going to be dealing with some "deal gone bad" situation or someone so out of it that they're a danger to everyone.
Well just look in the UK. Not only did that mandated filter block porn, it also blocked I'm sure just by mistake opposition party pages and health related information.
Yeah really close. The average GPU on both the xbox one and PS4 count in the 680-900Gflops range. The average IntelHD card is in the 500-900Gflops range. Not talking about the combination APU/CPU/GPU stuff, straight up graphics processing power. Oh and that's from the last 4 years on those IntelHD integrated graphics chips. You enjoy that reality. Those consoles are low-powered PC's and any type of reality that they're not comes crashing down when real numbers come into play.

Probably because the US did far more to help Poland when it was a soviet satellite state then their 'neighbors' in the rest of Europe did.
Exactly. Even downloading the torrents isn't copy infringement. There has to be an element of transfer for anything to happen.

$5,000 is not much money
