I love how you trot out a book by a white supremacist hack who beat the "benghazi whee" tinfoil hat nonsense to death and derailed her own career by making crap up repeatedly, as your "source".
I'm amused that you're continuing to double down on your racism and bigotry. If that source is so terrible, why don't you pick it up and dispute it. I'll wait. I'll give you say 110 pages in and pick whatever you want.
But hey, that stuff must sell in the trailer park.
Oh boy, tripling down on the bigotry. What a beautiful face of modern progressiveness.
Sorry, must have missed that post on media matters where they denied the Sandy Hook shooting took place and called the grieving parents of dead children crisis actors.
Guess you missed the part where media matters said that the ACA would reduce costs, and instead it dumped 30m more people into poverty with the loss of their insurance. Or their talking point specialists which could be dropped at a turn of a hat, if they said the wrong thing. But had unlimited access to all of the major TV networks in the US.
Considering that media matters has a long history of "quote mining" aka manufacturing news & outrage, lying through omission, and pushing political agendas despite it's classification status. You're simply ignorant, and are happily defending a company that's just as bad.
I enjoyed the "white supremacy conservatives" bit. Get that racism and bigotry out early, fly that flag. It's doing a bang up job for the democrats and progressives. When you finish frothing at the mouth, you can sit down and read just how dirty of an organization it really is.
uhh, just put "quotes" around the mandatory words.
The problem: Google doesn't properly recognize boolean searches anymore. That's "" and/or/not/(), and so on. If you want specialized searches that adhere to boolean use bing, startpage, ddg, and so on. Google gives you the results it thinks you want, not what you're asking for.
Not sure on Fries besides some grapevine rumor type stuff that he's got a problem of not working when he's supposed to be working. You can find that on a couple of sites and in the reddit GW2 sub if you're interested, might be truth, might be shit like all grapevine stuff. this has some extra info on the current push by the media to push the narrative though. And that the reason he was canned was because he came running to her defense when she decided to sperg out and defended her for attacking fans. So they simply washed their hands of him as well because she and he, both used personal twitter accounts and took on the persona of PR for the company.
The companies I've worked for in the past have done similar things, and this is only in IT. Occasionally you get someone that tries to hold unofficial/defense position for the company, and instead of cutting their losses and whatnot, they double down on their attacks of customers. They don't last long once people above them hear it, and realize the person is damaging their brand.
Or it's more likely it was complete garbage and the guy was standing over a sinkhole. Seriously, the grade of asphalt they use there is the same they use in southern ontario, which goes through 60C temperature swings between winter and summer. Up next, you'll believe the story where the road is melting as kids show pictures of it oozing up between their toes. It will later come out that they were standing on tar and gravel roads.
Dude got unlucky standing over a sinkhole. He's lucky it didn't collapse and take him down, into a hole and leave him there for a couple of days. Had the same happen a few years after they repaved the street my parents lived on, they had two sinkholes. One at the end of their driveway where a neighbors car got a tire stuck. The other near a storm drain, where they didn't properly close up one of the feeders. Which washed out all of the sand, gravel and dirt under it. A group of teenagers was walking by, and it gave way, luckily they only went knee deep.
Now here's the question you should ask. If you live in an area that has copious amounts of limestone, where's the next one going to open up?
Don't worry. Animojo is just upset that he lost that argument years ago, even when you present actual proof to them. They'll freak out and claim it's not real proof. They're of course not as bad as say serviscopeminor who will screech that links to FBI archives are fake, or there to put malware on your machine.
They're just so both heavily invested in the lie, that turning around and saying they were wrong would destroy any bit of their credibility. And that's just damn sad.
This wasn't the first time she's done this. The fact is she has a history of attacking fans, and the people buying the products of her employer. Her previous job, she was fired for exactly the same reason. Attacking the fan base.
I was pretty pissed that the Verge left out the Tweets from Deroir in the actual article. It really paints a one-sided picture and sets him up to be the bad guy.
That's because the verge wants to paint it that way. Just like how all those gaming sites painted gamergate one way. Just like how they pushed the "gamers are dead" articles and tried to claim that it was all a lie. Just like how all those sites pushed "people who hate the new ghostbusters are haters, sexists, and misogynists." And in the latest round, "it's a good thing" that xyz thing happened with starwars.
Seriously. Anyone who believes that there isn't a gigantic mailing list of journos all echoing the same bullshit, and trying to steer public opinion is deluding themselves. Journolist was a thing. Gamejournopros was a thing as well. Both cases journalists were in an incestuous relationship with the subjects of the story, or were passing their stories off to the subjects prior to publishing for revision. Or in the worst case, publishing their subjects stories as factual news. See the number of reporters from wapo, politico, nyt, cbs, nbc who did so for both Obama and Hillary Clinton.
That's just the UK, the wider EU is even larger. Where do you read this nonsense?
In actual publications that have a good reputation? What have you been looking at, the BBC telling you that NG Plant emissions are the source of wind power? Looking at the site you've listed, I can see multiple days with 1% generation across just the UK. Yeah that's sure paying for itself.
No it had not. If you refer to that stupid bloomberg article, it was completely made up.
So the article which provided stats was made up. Gotcha.
BTW: Europe is big. It is impossible to have no wind all over Europe at the same time.
Europe is tiny. I can drive across it in a day, it takes me 7-9 days to drive across Canada, if I drive 14hrs/day. Ontario is roughly the size of UK, Spain, France, Germany, NL, and Italy, and we've just had 11 days with pretty much zero wind.
That is just nonsense, regardless of your "unless" points.
It is the cheapest, unless you live in some backwards country that thinks nuclear is dangerous because of 40 years of environmentalist bullshit. Which you seem to be doing.
I've got a problem with snitching services in general. Generally, in most countries you simply call 911 or the equivalent service and talk directly to the police in cases of "blatant reckless and life endangering driving" done it many times going down the 401 here in Ontario. You know the guy who nearly pushes another car into the ditch because they're on their cellphone. The guy going down the hammer lane so fast that when you're already 20 over the limit they make you seem like you're standing still. One of two things happen in Ontario when you do this, either the police are sent out or the MTO is sent out. The MTO is the equivalent of DOT and can fine and seize vehicles at the road side, they *hate* doing this because it means people are pulled from truck inspections. Being pulled over by the MTO is about the worst thing that can happen.
Seriously, just use your phone. Unless your vehicle was made prior to 2005 nearly every car has one built into it, or support for BT enabled support. You get much faster responses then uploading a video and waiting a couple of weeks for someone to look at it.
Didn't Europe just have two weeks where wind power produced 0 energy? Yes, pretty sure it did. Didn't Ontario have the same thing happen? Yes it did. Didn't multiple US states have the same thing happen? Why yes it did. All during a heat wave no less. Ah yes, total capacity of 4300MW and producing 30MW...so great. Guess it's a good thing we can buy from Quebec and Michigan, otherwise there'd have been rolling blackouts.
Greenpeace is very happy with expensive electricity, which makes people poorer. Nuclear power is among the cheapest solutions, unless you're living in a country that has a strong anti-nuclear stance like over in Europe, or the US. Because of 40 years of nuclear fear mongering by groups like Greenpeace.
That's not FUD though. We already know that google has in the past gone through users cloud storage and revoked/deleted content. We already know that MS stored/and/or/is storing decryption keys in a non-secure location for cloud services, and for local HDD encryption(bitlocker).
Quite understandable that his employer preferred to outsource IT to the cloud:-)
Sure explains why us old guys can make so much money fixing their mistakes though. And to think, they still believe outsourcing is the better option...for everything. We're in a sad shit world right now, where people believe everything can be cheap and good.
No point for truck companies, they're all hooked up and satellite or cell linked. They all must have e-logbooking as well at least here in North America, been like that mandated as law since early this year(was mandated and all companies given 2 years to come into compliance). The DMV can pull it right from the transponder on the truck and know every road, side-road, and rest area you've hit. The big truck companies have for over a decade known exactly where their vehicles and trailers are at all times, it's one of the reasons why trailer and tanker theft is so low now. On top of that it hold no value to a trucking company or delivery company in terms of say toll roads, since you have to use a transponder. You can get one from a universal billing company for $10-15/mo that works in every state, every toll road/bridge in north america.
As for your question on plates? No point. Fleet vehicles use fleet plates, no sticker required on those. The permit tag goes on the drivers side of the truck, if it's fleet owned they put a new one on when it goes in for maintenance. If it's privately owned? You hit your local DMV office's website, and they send it in the mail, you print off a copy for your truck and wait for it. Or just input the new code into your elogbook and all the certification work is done just like that.
When you said you were a "half-asian male" I didn't realise you meant that in total you amounted to about 50% of an asian male. I'm sorry that all those women made the height requirement and that you didn't. I'm sorry that you failed the basics of grade 9 science, it would likely explain your lot in life. And having to fight against illegals pushing the cost of your janitorial services down.
Yeah so here's the difference between the person you were replying to, myself, and you. In each case when we got knocked down by chance, or because we made a bad choice. We dusted ourselves off, tried to, or figured out what went wrong, and made another choice and learned from it. You on the other hand, got knocked down and started whining "life isn't fair." Something the both of us already learned, and instead of whining, we made the choice to do something else.
Luck is absolutely garbage mumbo-jumbo. There is chance, and chance can be modified by your own actions. You're the perfect example of someone that believes "luck is the deciding factor in life" instead of: Changing one's circumstances, being in the right place or wrong place at the right time, and to think further a head then the 10 minutes to get laid and wondering why you're paying child support for 20 years.
The part you missed in the above formula is actually the largest factor- luck. Get over yourself, asshole.
So luck was the hardworking part? Really now. Was it luck that got you your skills? Luck that made you decide that you didn't like living dirt poor? Nope. It was the desire not to be in the same place your parents were because you saw how much suffering it caused them.
Luck is about the furthest thing from reality in the world in being an actual factor. Chance on the other hand, now that can make a play in what happens. The arrogance in believing that luck though screams that you don't think things through. Though I fundamentally pity you, because I'm an asshole. And that's all your worth.
Yes well you would think that, because you're a plonker.
It's funny how you never, ever, ever add anything constructive to any reply you make to anyone isn't it. I'm so glad I live rent free in your head as well.
You sound like vegans. Sorry, but I just don't care about the drama of sex frustrated feminists and mgtows.
So, unlike the vegans(who are attacking butchers in france), how's the corporate culture in your company these days? Pretty lopsided with a lot of men, leaving doors open, having someone else in the room, and not talking to women on a one on one basis I bet. Yeah too bad that those sex frustrated feminists are pushing things like the removal of exculpatory evidence in criminal trials for sex crimes. Or pushing overly negative policies in companies that damage society, but hey what the fuck right?
