I've about had it with all of the "buy smaller cars" , "down with SUV's", "gas guzzlers stink" arguments.
You people that argue for that obviously don't have the same issues that suv-driving people like myself have.
I did trade my full size pickup in on the SUV but it's only until I can afford to trade my wife's sedan in on a new pickup and give her the SUV.
I'm 6' 4", I live 20 miles from the nearest town, in the snow belt, with a wife and 7 month old twins, on 2 acres.
1. I don't fit in small cars. 2. My SUV has a 6 cylinder engine - the same as a many small and most mid-size cars anyway. 3. If I drove a small car, then I'd have to take 2 cars just to go to the grocery store because I can't haul my wife, the boys, the tandem stroller, and enough groceries home. 4. I hunt and fish. You think that I could even take a Honda Civic off-roading in the snow and mud then haul a large animal such as a deer home in the trunk? 5. There are no buses or trains where I live. 6. Springtime means mulch / landscaping season. You seriously think I can haul 2 acres worth of landscaping products home in a small car?
Yes. No one has yet attempted to answer HOW it got here or WHERE it came from but most singularity theorists agree that it has always been here.
Parent - Where is the ultimate origin?
Trying to answer that question - or even THINK about it - is mind-blowing.
On the other hand, there are a couple of theories right now regarding the state of the universe as we know it.
One very popular theory suggests that since the "Big Bang", the universe is expanding, will eventually slow until it ceases expanding, begin contracting until it reconvenes, and finally repeat the "Big Bang" singularity and start the cycle all over again.
Another suggests that the matter will eventually slow, cease expanding, run out of energy, never contract, and simply die a cold, lonely death somewhere in the ether.
Either way, God, god, or none, the "stuff" came from somewhere and it's going to end up somewhere.
I doubt I'll be around to see it.
With regards to the Bible - there isn't even enough room here to refute or illustrate the Bible as a fabric of fact, fancy, legend, the imposition of the will of men, and the absolute necessity for humankind to explain its consciousness and self-awareess.
There couldn't just be no reason. It was too much to embrace the idea that our consciousness means nothing - it's a fluke of chemistry.
DNA is composed of 4 neucleotides - each of which is composed of 5-carbon sugars, phosphates, and one nitrogen base. Ultimately DNA is made of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Phosphorous, and Carbon. For all intents and purposes, that's it. Nothing more. 5 of the most simple and abundant elements in the universe. Due to simple chemistry, they bond in specific ways then form a union in chains that we call DNA. Through the wonder of meitosis and meiosis - viola - here we are. Sometimes along the way two alleles get paired up incorrectly or one gets broken and we have a disease.
Like it or not, good or bad, we're made of the same atoms that frogs, marbles, and Dodge Trucks are made of.
If you want to run for president, pierce your tongue, pierce your eyebrows, or staple your earlobes together behind your head - fine by me.
I don't care if you shave your hair into the shape of a sundial or file your teeth into pointed vampire-style fangs.
But, for the love of all things good, don't subject me to your second-hand smoke.
Smoking is one of the very few habits that not only kills the weak-minded individual that can't quit and chooses to partake - it forces everyone else around them to smoke too. I chewed Copenhagen snuff for 9 years until one day I realized it was bad news. I did it because I was addicted to the nicotene and the habit of having something in my lip. So, yes - I feel I'm qualified to give advice on the weak-mindedness of cigarettes. I quit. Cold turkey. It wasn't easy and 5 years later, I still crave it occasionally but I did quit. It is possible and it IS a mental challenge but it can be done. If you started it, you can end it.
I have Sarcoidosis so second hand smoke precludes me from going to a lot of restaurants, taverns, and even places like bowling alleys, casinos, and other public places that allow smoking.
Like I said, do whatever you want to yourself, but dog gone it, don't force me to do it with you.

Here's three things I know to be fact about this practice:
1. In our case - the nurses in question are all RN's and are all contract nurses. These hospitals are being billed $60+/hr and the nurses paid $30+/hr. On the low end, $30/hr is $57,600 per year. That's way more than most occupations pay so for the people that said nurses are underpaid - you're way wrong. On the flip side, the hospital is paying $115,200/yr for that same nurse. That's a big bill to pay.
2. Since these nurses are all contract nurses, there aren't very many that actually work 40 straight hours in a week - there are a few that do and there are a few that work more than that but they are a very small percentage.
3. The reason for this practice in the first place is due to the national nursing shortage. If you think there is an over-abundance of nurses in the U.S., you're wrong. Nursing shortages are approaching a crisis level in many parts of the country. Nurses are being offered big time incentives such as apartments, cars, per-diem, and good wages to travel to different hospitals within certain regions. If there weren't such a disparity in supply and demand, this wouldn't even be an option or sustainable for that matter.
Also, since they are contract and part of a pool, most of them get to demand what hours they work, what department they work, and what days they work. How would you like to say, I'll work MWF, 6a-3p in the dept of my choice and that's all I'll work - perfect for mom's and dad's or anyone else that needs a flexible schedule.
At first glance, it sounds like a terrible, capitalist, predatory practice. In reality, it's a necessity for these hospitals to be able to staff their departments to the minimum standards. It allows nurses that are more flexible and willing to work the chance to pick up the hours when they want them and the hospitals to keep staffing levels adequate. I'm not saying there aren't nurses that pick up their 50th hour (or more) this way but the actual times that happens is extremely low - I have payroll figures to back me up.
I wouldn't get overly concerned about it or start comparing it to IT or trying to draw any other conclusions other than the obvious supply and demand conclusion.
I invite you to google for variations "Nursing Pool", "Contract Nursing Pool", "Traveling Nurses", etc. and read up on how this works.
Just look your new roomate square in the eye and recite the following:
Hi, I'm [Your Name Here]. I'm your new roomate. You know, I like the looks of you, kid. I think we're going to get along famously. Which bunk is yours? Great. This is my laptop. If anything happens to it I'll be upset. If it disappears, I'll kick your ass. If it gets damaged, I'll kick your ass. If the neighbor steals it, I'll kick your ass. If the building burns down and my laptops in here, I'll kick your ass. In fact, if someone in my psych(o) class spills coffee on it..... I'll kick your ass. If anything at all happens to my precious laptop, I'll probably kick your ass. I love my laptop.
Disclaimer: this approach works best if your name is Tank or Bulldozer as opposed to Alphonse and... maybe if one eye is a litte bigger than the other. It helps too if you don't need phone books to see over the steering wheel.
On the other hand, In the words of Tenzin Gyatso "Try to help others. If you can't then at least don't harm them." I guess that means something like lock it up.
You could try either approach, it's up to you really.
After thinking about it for a while, I think I'd use a log-chain on the laptop.
I'm aware of the *Whatever to un-block the caller ID but it won't necessarily solve all of the problems. Caller ID (at least where I live) generally sucks (some folks have Ameritech/SBC as their local telco and some have Verizon.)
Just an example - My wife works at a local college. It doesn't matter what phone she calls from, what time of day or if the planets are aligned - it always shows up as "Unavailable". My phone number is listed but it shows up to some of my friends as unavailable. Some of my friends have the Anonymous blocking and my telephone number should show up but doesn't so the pre-recorded voice comes on and asks me to state my name then it will ring through as their "Privacy manager".
I'm not saying it's the greatest idea in the world but if it works, who cares? You can use a screw driver as a pry bar too.
Suppose your phone number is unlisted and typically shows up as "Anonymous" or "Unavailable" to caller ID. Now suppose the recipient of your call has Caller ID with Anonymous blocking. You can't get through or, with some services, you have to leave your name at the tone and hope they pick-up and decide to take your call.
It would serve as a way to make your own number show up when you want it to but otherwise remain anonymous and not defeat the purpose of having an unlisted telephone number.
I just consulted THE reference - "Sam's teach yourself mathematics in 21 days".
No mention of infinity in there.
Sorry. It doesn't exist.
Keep your silly infinite circle hocus-pocus away from me.
Hell, you can make an infinite sequence of distinct infinite numbers. Take the cardinality of the integers which is known as Aleph0. Take 2 to that power. there's a strictly larger number. Take 2 to that power. There's another. Keep going as long as you want.
Thanks for proving the point. Take (n+1)^2 - it's still not infinity as that becomes n.
Infinity is a concept. Infinity itself doesn't exist. Infinity implies unbounded, so the concept exists while the "number" does not. So, in the context of a number system, infinity does not exist. n+1 can never be infinity since n is infinite. Dedekind, Cantor, Zermelo and hosts of others illustrate the concept of infinity exists but that no object can *be* infinity.
It's a paradox.
(none of you fuckers has a sense of humor at all).
Rather argue about Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't.
1. Infinity does exist in the context of a number system.
No, it does not. Assume infinity exists. What is infinity - 1? Infinity - 1 can not be a finite number since no finite number + 1 = infinity. If that's the case, then infinity - 1 = infinity. That can't be true without violating the rules of arithmetic. You should be able to subtract infinity from both sides which would leave -1 = 0. I could go on but you get the point.
Sorry. "Infinity" does not exist.
2. Even if it didn't that would only imply that we don't exist in the concept of a number system. Please see rule number 1.
3. Even if infinity didn't exist at all, that would merely mean that your initial axiom was false, not that we didn't exist.
An axiom is a self-evident truth. If I'm wrong on point one then it wasn't an axiom at all, it might be a conjecture, but it's not an axiom. So, you're wrong on point 3 as well.
I'd like to present a new axiom - you have no sense of humor.
I'd like to also ask the question - Why am I debating an anonymous coward?
In the universe, there may be an infinite number of stars which may yield an infinite number of galaxies which may yield an infinite number of solar systems which may yield an infinite number of planets which may yield an infinite number of planets with an infinite number of life-forms.
Since infinity does not exist [in the context of a number system], then we do not exist.
Since we do not exist then Unix was never invented.
Since Humans invented Unix and humans do not exist, Unix was never invented and Linux was never invented.
Therefore, Linux does not exist, as was to be shown.
