Well it's funny, but just remember that all cells will work without a sim card for emergency calls. So if you have an elderly family member, it might be a good option for them. Especially if they're old enough that a fall could potentially cause them serious harm so they can't get help but are still conscious. Had a friend who's grandparents broke down in Tennessee while taking a detour route because of construction on I75, he'd given them his old cell "just in case" they kept it charged. It came in handy wouldn't you say? 911 had no problems getting a hold of some state troopers who came by and waited with them for a tow.
I half agree with you on this. That said, there are an awful lot of economically disadvantaged people living in the country that are massively effected by the opioid scourge
The city I grew up in also has the same problem. It's not just a problem of the economically disadvantaged that deal with this. It does have a tie with two things: People getting older and having access to opioids from decades of hard/repetitive work which caused damage and an ease-of-access to it, and those younger finding just how little of an opioid it takes to make them feel better and at ease. I think, that in this case legalizing pot would make a larger dent. It's far less harmful then opiates, and will still "make you feel good" instead of that dull-end buzz that booze can give.
Though from personal experience, from using both opiates and having been on the psilocybin mushroom clinical trial for chronic headaches and migraines. People using opiates are also looking for that "content well-being" feeling caused by the dopamine dump. Shrooms do that better(at least in my case), even when I had a migraine that feeling did far more to help me "feel better" then simply numbing the pain.
You should probably spend more time on the highway then. It's illegal everywhere, and everyone does it until the police or MTO nab a few, clears up for a few km then right back at it. Welcome to the reality of long-distance driving. Also, since the winds coming from the south-west tonight, I can hear the 401 pretty well. Sounds like at least 2 truck drivers have nearly fallen asleep and hit the rumble strips in the last 3-4 minutes.
It's worse then that. They were infected by ideology, and someones desire to "do good and push it from the platform." Rather than remain neutral and simply put out a product. Notice what's happening with all those companies who are doing the same thing?
I keep saying this, but no one believes me because they feel a high salary is all they need in life.
Ask them if they ever "go-away" on vacations/camping to the middle of nowhere. You can bet that most if not all of them do, and that they'll also say it no longer relaxes them like it used to. That'll probably be due to their reliance on cell phones/etc.
So death valley being a desert has no issue with all-time record high temperatures? Who knew. If you've been to either place, it's pretty easy to figure out why there's also extreme temperature swings.
Why don't you try posting something like "illegal immigrants are a pain in the ass" on/r/politics. I'll wait for your ban, you could post say "not all illegal immigrants are a pain in the ass" on T_D, people would even tell you to defend your pov. Besides, that, you been paying to the absolute bullshit going on in FOSS communities? Where people have started witch hunting code contributors because they have sexual life styles that the new leftist moral majority don't like. Enjoy the shit show
But you're an anonymous coward. There is no "you", and therefore, no one gives a fuck about "your" opinion.
But you sure got up in arms over it.
That is complete, utter, total, and every other kind of bullshit. The conservative wing is powered by the religious reich, which absolutely opposes free expression.
The religious hold on conservative has been dead around 20-28 years at this point. You might have missed it if you were living in a social bubble, where they kept telling you that though. It was roughly that wingnuts were trying to blow up abortion clinics, and people simply had enough.
You either haven't read up much on the Nazis, or you think they were grand.
So let's look at all that fascist stuff the left is going down with: Free speech walls, making claims that "bad speech is hate speech" with the demands that anything contrary to their opinion must be silenced. Doxing, going after employees of companies(there's even a giant tumblr blog you can find that they still refuse to take down). There was the apparent case of witch hunting on a game developer the other day by leftists(they class themselves as SJW's just a FYI) for holding opinions they didn't like.
Makes claims, shows no evidence. After boolean, and random searching on google, bing, and DDG I can't find any proof that they've banned anyone. Hell that's counter to their own mission statement -- that uses should be proactive in blocking things they don't like. On top of that that the only thing I can find about anything being banned has to do with Gab.ai being forced by their registar(.ai), into deleting someone's dank post because the registar didn't like it.
With the registrar violating their own ToS stating that the the parties have to be given 15 days notice(ai gave them 48hrs). And now they're looking at a new registrar and using blockchain.
I'd say the people who need to worry are the South Koreans and Japanese.
You mean because the vast majority of the semiconductor industry is based in both countries? Or the number of companies that directly operate out of those regions for trans-pacific and trans-atlantic shipping? Yeah, that won't impact your life at all.
Let's not even go nuclear. Let's say China puts the pressure on N.Korea, and N.Korea responds by directly shelling S.Korea in retaliation or starts firing medium range missiles at S.Kore and Japan. Wanna guess what happens? The entire semiconductor industry and 60% of shipping comes to a screeching halt overnight. Yep, you can thank previous presidents for kicking this can down the road and China who are either unable, or unwilling to do anything. I think it's more of a case they're unable at this point, which of course means that economic sanctions on banks and a trade war will be the most likely case. It'll still be nasty, but not nearly as nasty as say having to evacuate Seoul or having to see Japan push their entire military into "active self-defense."
San Francisco is is classed in either desert, mild desert, or semi-arid climate depending on which classification scale you want. So yeah, the desert. A few scales classify it as "arid-mediterranean."
The only reason it looks so pretty and green is because of all the water used to make it look like that.
Thing is, BC and Alberta need those dryer conditions as well as the forest fires. Flood and drought cycles are also cyclical in those regions. So do many northern states, it's one of the few things that actually kill the problems they're having with pine beetle infestations. The trees that the beetles kill as well, are basically kindling to boot and nobody really wants to use it for anything. It's too expensive for the pulp industry to double bleach, even then it doesn't get the "blue" fecal colouring out of the wood pulp. The integrity of the wood is compromised so it's useless for building materials, so it can be used for houses. It's either cut down and sold as firewood(inter-state only) because of the beetles, or left to dead rot.
I can live with rain for 5 days. Wait until you don't see direct sunlight for 2 months because you're either too far north, or it's always overcast. The kicker is it'll occasionally be clear at night, not that it really helps when night is 20 hours long.
Considering that the billions taken in pension-looting far exceed the payouts for any such transsexuals, I'd say your priorities are pretty fucked up. I suppose it's because you don't want us to look at the man behind the curtain, but would rather we be bewildered by the giant floating head full of hot air.
Looks like you're confusing social safety nets and private pension looting. I'd say you have no idea what you're talking about, except that there's multiple cases where governments changed laws at the behest of corporations to do that looting to boot. Not all cases, just some.
Maybe you should look at all the wasteful efforts in North Carolina, Texas, and elsewhere. Fruitless jousting and wasteful efforts, that people eat up like it was the finest caviar.
Me, I'm not surprised that Roy Moore has a chance at knocking off Luther Strange, but I won't pretend that there's anything at all different between them, or that the people would really be any different.
Keep on fighting your windmills though, they're really giants! Giants out to steal your magic beans! If only we could be saved by a Braying Ass, you'd be useful.
Gee, maybe you should get outside of your social media bubble and see what's actually going on in those areas. But I'm not surprised that someone thinks that a person getting their junk cut off, and going on hormone therapy to make them feel better(even though they still have a 40% chance of trying to kill themselves anyway), is more important then the person who was seriously injured and isn't being helped by the system that's supposed to exist to help them. Maybe it's because they're male, they're disposable in your world right?
They directly track and go after jihadi networks on social media that try and recruit young people into becoming terrorists. They're fairly well known in anti-terrorism circles.
Considering they've been doing the same to other organizations? Likely no. Google was doing it to mypetjawa.mu.nu over half a decade ago, and there's instances of them doing the same to other organizations just in the last few weeks.
You should read some of the absolute bullshit going on with Rust. Mozilla is infested with socjus, just like google is, just like node.js is. Here's a few examples from node.js and no2 and a bit of backfiller.
Oh Mashiki, you still trying to get us to focus on the dreaded "transexuals" so that we'll ignore the true threat from the pension-looting executives, is that it?
Considering over the lifetime of "one transexual" op including the medication which is included, would cover 6 average out-of-work people who were injured on the job. I'd say the priorities are pretty fucked up wouldn't you?
Really, you keep trying to blame the reek of garbage on the most tiny and petty things, while ignoring the huge pile of elephant dung in the middle of the room.
Looks like you have no idea on what's actually happening in your own backyard. Maybe you can get Wynne to tell you why her poll numbers show her support is at 6.3% and the liberal party is polling at 11% now.
During WW2 some elements of the UK government were keen on dropping mustard gas on Germany (the RAF was less keen due to handling issues), so it used to be in the UK up until the late 90s that every now and then a farmer on land that was once an airfield would turn up an dump of it.
Not really a surprise. You find nasty piles of heavy metal dumps all over the place here in southwestern ontario too, or tailings contamination because it was used as backfill in an area or other things. Not really much you can do in a lot of those cases, where I used to live in Woodstock was about 1km from 3 garbage dumps. 2 of which were less then 140m from one of the tributaries of the Thames River. House were built on them back in the 1960's and 70's, then came the problems with methane seeping, then came the serious problem where the dumps were causing radon seeping and they had to devise some method to cut down on pools of radon gas forming in a couple of the low-laying parks.
Ah, the angry, stupid AC troll. You guys are real pieces of shit. Yes, I'm sure that Mozilla is having problems because they committed the awful, awful sin of trying to hire not all white guys., Go fuck yourself.
You mean mozilla is pushing for the hiring of people who have no fucking clue, and support people who implement codes of conduct in Rust in order to witch hunt people? Gee, I wonder why people would be annoyed at a company who's pushing that type of "diversity."
Fuck hiring the best, we're gonna hire the trans-black-lesbian-midget-transracial thingy with 23 made-up genders because it looks the best for our religion and we can show off to everyone just how progressive we are.
The MOST priveleged people in the richest country on earth claiming to be victims.
Well when you have everything, you need something to feel special. Of course their bullshit hurts everyone else like that 40 year old guy who lives with his parents, never mind he broke his back ~20 years ago, can't hold down a job and is still fighting workmans comp. Those special people need monies for a sex-change instead! Oh and safe spaces because someone telling them to shut the fuck up hurts their feelings.
Social Justice and their form of post modernism is poison for the west. In future historians will say "they just gave up"
It is, but people aren't going to go down without a fight over it either. And the socjus mobs aren't going to go down without a fight too, and you can see just how infected some parts of society are. You can see it with the little antifa shit mobs that believe "society is ripe for a commie revolution' while they label anyone who's to the right of marx and lennin as nazi's. At the same time that the media is cheering them on, but notice how that's strangely changed? How EU and NA media changed their tune all of a sudden and they really were the bad guys.
Shit times, no matter which way you cut it. But I'd rather see this garbage purged sooner then later--especially since it's gone on longer then I figured it would. People were getting pissed off ~18 years ago over it, guess it took until it started reaching mainstream and it impacting day-to-day life for people to have enough.

Considering the point is for emergencies? How do you get to the dumb phone when you've fallen down a flight of stairs with a broken hip.
Well it's funny, but just remember that all cells will work without a sim card for emergency calls. So if you have an elderly family member, it might be a good option for them. Especially if they're old enough that a fall could potentially cause them serious harm so they can't get help but are still conscious.

Sounds like a representative sample of humanity to me.
Move out of the city. Country life makes people better, not even kidding on that.
You do know what "RFC" stands for right?
Duh! Everyone knows that it stands for Really Fucking Cockward.
Once again, you add nothing of value. I'm still waiting replies to other posts by you that you ran away from, feel free, create a new thread to them.
They should seriously consider coming up with an actual name.
That is their name. The reason they use the same they do is because it's not obvious, and makes it a target that pro-jihadi's won't directly find.
So death valley being a desert has no issue with all-time record high temperatures? Who knew. If you've been to either place, it's pretty easy to figure out why there's also extreme temperature swings.

Oh and remember the limerick from Pillars of Eternity they didn't like? And got so upset that they started attacking the developers so it got changed...or how about the time when they went after one of the artists for Divinity: Original Sin.
