You totally ignored the entire point about the dangers of having all this Cobalt-60 lying around all over the country, unprotected in the hands of idiots, but instead choose to defend the image of these food processors and the quality of their contaminated product, responding with a standard "citation please"? WTF is wrong with you? Whatever your motivations, you need help.
This is why food irradiation using radioactive elements, fondly rejiggered with the euphemism "cold pasteurization", is so insane. There are cheap food factories all over the U.S. with amounts of Cobalt-60 much greater than in this recent heist, with laughable security, all so we can be fed rotten, contaminated food they shouldn't be selling anyway.
The possible costs so outweigh the questionable "benefits" in this case, there is no other way to describe this terrorist-tragedy-waiting-to-happen other than willful, reckless endangerment of the lives of millions. All to make a few more dollars selling diseased meat.
Now you resort to ad hominem, when you've got no other nonsense to spew? That's pretty lame, but honestly, given what you've been saying, I'm really not surprised.
I think your unpatriotic vitriol should get you a visit from those who dedicate their lives to provide you the freedom to spread such drivel. Love it or leave it.
If all you guys have to complain about is you can't use your email address as your username, which by the way is the norm for most health care, bank, and credit card sites, I think that's a standing ovation of how good it is.
I see you don't share the "can do" attitude that makes our country great, so much so you think we can't even do what every other major country has done, much less do it much better, which apparently with your low opinion of our country, you don't think is possible.
Seeing as most every other first-world country in the world has waved that very wand, probably wouldn't be too hard for us to do, don't you think? Or do you think we are less capable than other countries?
When electric cars come down in price and there is essentially a base-model Honda Civic EV, you'll get your manual windows cranks, no power locks, etc. For now because of the inherent high cost, they have to put all the bells and whistles in so that the people with enough money who demand all those luxuries will buy their cars and keep Tesla afloat.
anyone can try and overcome and get help with their issues if they first acknowledge them, decide to try to address them, and let others know. You don't have to do it alone, and you will be accepted. Keep trying, and you will succeed.
1300 bucks seems like a LOT for an Ubuntu touch-tablet whatever. Is this because you have to pay the Microsoft tax, because anyone not purchasing a windows machine must be installing a pirated copy on the sly?
Kinda sorta contradictory to express sympathy for those that could benefit from the ACA when you just want to screw them over and abolish it, but then again that's how anti-ACA types try to portray themselves, as actually representing the interests of those the ACA is intended for. How cynical.
Thanks for admitting to what I said. Seriously, crying about the website? It's like saying you want to get rid of the car because it needs a wash, but refuse to simply wash it. Let's see what criticism you have when the website is working normally. I'm sure there will be something. In the meantime, the House is wasting congressional time by pointlessly voting for the 645,246th time to repeal the ACA, the law of the land, after passing it in the first place..
65 hectares = 7,000,000 square feet, that's a heckuva lot of greenhouse to invest in just for the tiny state of Qatar.
Looking up the cost per square foot for greenhouse construction, I got a number of $7.56. That would be a $50,000,000 up-front investment cost, not even counting the maintenance or operating costs.
Since the nation of Qatar is only 2,000,000 people, that's $25 per person to make the greenhouses. This actually isn't a lot of money.
Let's take India, with 1,200,000,000 people, roughly 500 times as many people as Qatar. The upfront cost would be $30,000,000,000. That's A LOT of money for a poor country. Also you'd have to find 4.2 billion square feet of desert to construct the greenhouses. Good luck with that. On that kind of scale, the infrastructure costs like road building, trucking, maybe even rail, etc, would far eclipse the greenhouse costs.
Basically, this makes sense for a sparsely populated region, but isn't really scalable to a larger country, it seems. I'm not saying they were claiming it to be, just making the observation.
Sure, but is your solution, if you could, to repeal the ACA in its entirety? I don't think your opinion of the website is worth anything if you are just dead-set against any kind of law that doesn't please the for-profit health insurance lobby.
Well, if you pile enough VMs on top of each other, eventually you could have some confidence you won't get rooted too many levels deep when downloading off the internets.
The funny thing is you just complimented the FDA, because the only reason that trans fats have dropped by 73% in the last 9 years is because of the FDA's action in the first place!
If you really still want trans fat, you can order it from Aldrich Chemical and fry your twinkies in it at home, while draping yourself in Old Glory.
Your comment reminds me of a previous coworker a few rungs lower down on the ladder from me. I was always rather incredulous that he would text and play games on his phone, even during important meetings in front of the CEO, CSO or the President, even leaving once in a while to actually take a non-emergency personal phone call. He frequently complained that he was unfairly passed over for promotion and didn't understand why. I would say that qualifies at the very least as living in oblivion.

If you're seriously at the sad point of just wanting the last word, please, go for it. Embarrass yourself further. Take care.
Now you resort to ad hominem, when you've got no other nonsense to spew? That's pretty lame, but honestly, given what you've been saying, I'm really not surprised.
And you're still spewing the same hate? Evidently you don't learn your lesson. Keep it up. You will.

Good argument for universal health care. Thanks!

Actually I was also talking about something else, I think it was jello.

Are they waiting to release that source code for some reason? Too soon? Even GS/OS for the ][gs was last updated in 1993.

Problem solved.
... they didn't also require that all experiments take into account Earth being only 5000 years old!
Looks like 2x 480X for $600 is the way to go.
