Getting *TWO* characters sounds to me like a cracked trace.
Right now I have an early 2011 Mac Book pro that is my main machine. The H, J, K and L keys started working intermittently a while back (which is a bit of a problem as to unlock the computer I need to use the J key). Obviously a cracked trace.
I called Apple to ask about a replacement keyboard and the person on the phone couldn't/wouldn't tell me how much it would cost.
I called a local non-Apple Apple store and they told me it would be about $400 and take about 1 to 2 days to actually replace it. I didn't have the time to spare then, so I just bought a $99 Apple blue tooth mini-keyboard (which fits nicely on the front of laptop over the track pad which I never use) and I have been using it ever since.
Well, let's see: You imply stupidity by complaining about irony while carefully avoiding the fact that his observation is accurate.If there's irony involved and you fail to illustrate why, then you're just dishing exactly the sort of patronizing snark that the GP was talking about. In effect, you've just made his point all the more astute. Then you attack him (not the point he's illustrating) by suggesting that he's using lazy rhetorical devices (you know, the thing YOU just did), again instead of even mentioning anything having to do with the subject matter. So, yeah. You've done nothing BUT attack the OP, and stay away from the substance. And now you're being defensive about it instead of taking the opportunity to, say, explain why you think the Democrats AREN'T shameless, disingenuous, hypocritical promoters and exploiters of identity politics.
I feel that you have totally missed the point and have chosen to be offended to order to give you license to go off on a rant about my perceived failings as well as take a swipe at the Democrats in the same process. So let me explain my original post in simple words for you.
The OP used a pejorative to illustrate that it was the other side that is divisive, condescending, smug, and insulting. Rather than arguing that fact, the OP then *did* rely on logical fallacies to try and "win" the argument.
Trust me... It didn't take the Russians to be divisive, condescending, smug, and insulting.
Liberal America did a great job of that without any prompting.
The irony in your post is almost palpable.
Please show us a conservative campaign that the Russians exploited for purposes of divisiveness. Your response is telling, utter refusal to acknowledge reality.
So you're doubling down with a Red Herring and a dash of Reductio Ad Absurdum? No surprise there.
The weapon was fully automatic, which is very tightly regulated. It is likely the shooter either modified a weapon illegally or obtained one on the black market. That is no normal "assault rifle".
You can buy a fully automatic weapon for the price of a less than mid-level new car, perfectly legally.
2 years ago I was hiking in some mountains near Salt Lake City. The base of these mountains was a popular spot for people to come out on weekends and setup targets and shoot at them (the places was littered with shell casings of various types - why the fuck they couldn't clean up after themselves I don't know). So I am hearing a collection of semi-automatic pistol and rifle fire. OK thats not unexpected. Then all of a sudden someone lights up a fully automatic machine gun. Totally different sound. I never saw who was firing this gun, but it seems that taking it out into the desert and shooting at things was a relaxing thing for them to do.
He said rifle. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
No I don't. I also don't make up shit on the internet to sound tough.
The only type of person capable of taking out that shooter from the crowd at the critical moment would be a fully trained and equipped sniper with combat experience, and who was also expecting the threat and was in already position.
Now do you want to bullshit some more about how you can shoot into specific hotel room from 400 yards away with a civilian rifle, which you just happened to be carry to a music festival?
If I was there and I had a gun, I would have stopped this after 6 people died. That's the magic number where I flip to Rambo mode and start randomly spraying bullets in a futile effort to stop the shooter.
You do know that the shooter wasn't in the crowd and was in fact on the 32nd floor of a hotel a good 300 to 400 yards away? Your puny hand pop gun (if you actually have one) would have done jack shit in this case.
but you seem to have missed why Americans prefer credit-cards: In the U.S. your credit rating is needed for loans like for cars & homes
Screw the credit history part. The main reason I use a credit card for *everything* is that you can't easily dispute a debit card transaction. The money has already gone from your account and you have much better consumer protections when using a credit card.
These certainly are strange days. The Pacific is now in the Atlantic*. Next you'll be telling me that Cats are living with Dogs and that US is actually a reality show a la Truman.
How the fuck you get the Pacific I don't know. It's as if the last thing in the submission said "Pacific" and that's all the "editors" can remember - the last thing they saw.
There are many places in the US (typically in the West) where unless you own the water rights to the land you are on, you do not own the water that falls onto that land. So rainwater is only free for certain values of free.
You choose the one that pays the most money for the least effort.
However finding the model that best suits a particular client and developer is a totally different question and (IMHO) can not be answered without knowing specific details.

And a note to the "editor" . What's the point of deleting a clause from the original submission if you only turn around and then repeat it in full, albeit with some additional text saying that the OP also originally asked this clause? Is this some sort of power trip to show that you actually "edited" the submission? Or is it some sort of "style" that demands this slice and dice?
Does anyone know what a real, working hyper loop actually looks like? And if it is actually viable?
And no I don't mean the student competition to test a device that is totally unlike the original hyper loop concept, and run across a fraction of a fraction of the distance that the concept is supposed extend to.
A new startup called Bodega launched Wednesday and has already apologized in the face of mounting outrage. Folks weren't happy that Bodega appeared to be taking aim at mom-and-pop shops run by hardworking immigrants, while simultaneously misappropriating immigrant culture and celebrating gentrification. "Despite our best intentions and our admiration for traditional bodegas, we clearly hit a nerve this morning," Bodega wrote in a Medium post. "And we apologize to anyone we've offended. Rather than disrespect to traditional corner stores -- or worse yet, a threat -- we intended only admiration."
Yes, clearly. The name Bodega sparked a wave of criticism on social media far beyond what we ever imagined. When we first came up with the idea to call the company Bodega we recognized that there was a risk of it being interpreted as misappropriation. We did some homework—speaking to New Yorkers, branding people, and even running some survey work asking about the name and any potential offense it might cause. But it’s clear that we may not have been asking the right questions of the right people.
It would be surprising is there WASN'T an investigation given Equifax has credit and personal info on a huge number of the US population and controls credit access of virtually the entire country.
I'm not sure that the FTC actually cares about the data that was leaked. On the other hand those allegations of insider trading due to the breach are certainly to interest to them.
I know the French take a vacation in August, but it seems like you wouldn't want a space heater running during any of the summer. Even if you have air conditioning, you'd have to pay more to pump the generated great out of your home.
I don't know if you have noticed (and it just may be some Northern hemisphere bias kicking in) but the internet doesn't care what part of the world you live in. So if its hot in one location you could just as easily direct your traffic to a location where it is cold, and heat that spot.
If I can think of that 5 seconds after reading your post then I am sure there are even more sophisticated solutions being thought up at Qarnot.

Says the guy resorting to ad hominem and carefully avoiding the substance of the matter. No surprise there.
Please show where I have attacked the OP and not his "arguments".
Trust me... It didn't take the Russians to be divisive, condescending, smug, and insulting.

If self driving cars need such detailed maps, then Self Driving cars are not yet ready for the general public.
It's way more of a problem than just maps.
How does an autonomous vehicle recognize a policeman holding up his hand to say "Stop".
Or (in the case of VA law) move over a lane when passing a police car (marked or unmarked) on the side of the road that has pulled a miscreant over.
The new management said it was coming real soon when they took over.
Given that the original Pixel is absolutely horrible at playing back music via Bluetooth I'd call this a pretty ballsy move.
So it took courage to do it?
The weapon was fully automatic, which is very tightly regulated. It is likely the shooter either modified a weapon illegally or obtained one on the black market. That is no normal "assault rifle".

Are you starting to realize now how stupid it is to suggest more guns are the answer to every gun problem.
You still fail at reading by the way. He also already mentioned it would be futile...
OK Mr Reading Wiz .. care to comment about how I was replying to the AC who said:
If I was there and I had a gun, I would have stopped this after 6 people died.
He said rifle. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
No I don't. I also don't make up shit on the internet to sound tough.

Now do you want to bullshit some more about how you can shoot into specific hotel room from 400 yards away with a civilian rifle, which you just happened to be carry to a music festival?
Half the audience was carrying! Why didn't they turn around and all point BOOM! right between the eyes!
Right! - Right!
what? Do you mean commit mass suicide?
Because its sounds like you haven't even read where the shooter was.
OK Mr Internet Tough Guy ..
If I was there and I had a gun, I would have stopped this after 6 people died. That's the magic number where I flip to Rambo mode and start randomly spraying bullets in a futile effort to stop the shooter.

I think we need to execute Mr Stephen Paddock.
You're too late.

Biggest expense is definitely shipping the water.
If they could dehydrate it first then that would substantially lower the shipping costs.
...falls from the sky for free all the time.
There are many places in the US (typically in the West) where unless you own the water rights to the land you are on, you do not own the water that falls onto that land. So rainwater is only free for certain values of free.
Shut up. Constructive comments only.

The fastest tested faux-hyperloop is 220 mph over a very short track. And commercial transportation rarely operates at the maximum tested speed.
