What about you omitting the fact that you want children? If you expect her to tell you that she is trans and thus incapable of getting pregnant early on, doesn't it follow that you should also tell her that you want children very early on as well?
Fusion isn't that great. It doesn't ramp up/down very well, for example. It's also gonna be expensive compared to renewables. While it will be great in niche applications, I don't imagine it will have a massive impact on the electrical grid. By the time it becomes commercially viable it just won't be needed.
Some time around 1990 pop music changed. Before then people would write lyrics, and write music, and find a match to combine the two. In the 90s most pop music was the music, the beat and the hook, with some lyrics tacked on. Vocals became just another instrument, they were not really there to convey an interesting message.
It took at least 20 years to really get away from that.
The 90s were not a good time for music, and neither were the 2000s... The cost of producing music fell dramatically, but that meant a lot of badly produced music was getting released. The previously high cost acted as something of a filter.
As for rap, you have to learn to appreciate it I think. Good rap songs have some really clever rhyming and lyrical structures.
Beware the small power bricks. They are small because they are not very powerful, and can't supply enough current under heavy load so the laptop has to draw power from the battery. That not only discharges the battery, but it also wears it out faster. And of course, the battery is not user-replacable.
People forget what a brick the first Macbook Air was. At a hefty 1.5kg it wasn't exactly light.
A couple of years later there were dozens of models that were a similar size but weighed half as much, and let you replace various components. Apple deserve credit for starting the trend, but it was definitely a first generation product.
Can confirm this works. A big sneeze can be really painful for me (arthritis and CFS) but this technique reduces it to something manageable.
You can also do some prevention to avoid getting to this point. Be careful trimming your nose hairs, because if you trim them too much they stop keeping the sneeze-inducing dust out. If you live in a place where masks are socially acceptable they really help. In places where people don't wear masks, blowing your nose it also effective.
I've tried various cleaning systems but they don't really help IME.
It will become less of an issue as more solar and battery backup gets deployed, and the cars themselves will be used for smoothing as that's a good trade-off for most users.
But yes, some upgrades will be needed. There will probably be tiered pricing too, with energy suppliers offering discounts to people who charge slowly overnight, perhaps on a circuit controlled by the power company (and guaranteed to deliver at least X kWh between 23:00 and 06:00).
According to that calculator a household earning $40k will get a 0.5% tax break. Is that a net benefit to them, given the massive cuts needed to fund this $1.5 trillion package? I guess that's debatable. Also, is it fair for them to get 0.5% while the super rich get 3.6%?
In any case, House Speaker Paul Ryan said that the plan was to fund this with cuts to "entitlements", which means things like Medicare and Medicade. So not only do less well off Americans get less of a cut, but the plan is to fund that cut by taking $1.5 trillion out of the services that help them survive on that kind of income.
In that case, what's larger on an Android system image: AOSP (Linux and free components of Android userland) or GMS (Google Play Store/Services and other bundled Gapps)?
Depends if you include China. Since most Google stuff is blocked in China, the GMS size is zero. There are over a billion active mobile devices in China, 80% of them running Android.
Where closed source seems to shine though is through projects with leadership and vision.
That can also be where it fails hardest. This is an interesting insider view of Windows Vista, but also covering other versions: https://blog.usejournal.com/wh...
Basically the leadership and vision created multiple failed internal projects like WinFS. It was also very hard to predict where the market would go in the 3 year Windows release cycle, so they ended up doing a lot of work that went nowhere or was abandoned after one version.
In the mean time Linux really dominated on the web server side, because Linux and Apache were able to quickly adapt and new features were added by people who wanted and used them, not by what salespeople guessed the market desired.
The term "open source" was coined by Christine Peterson in 1998, when Netscape opened up its browser's source code.
Before that, RMS coined "free software" in the early 80s. However, a lot of software was made available as source code but was not free in the sense that the licence had restrictions or didn't enforce freedom like the GPL does. Thus the term "open source" was created.
Buildings can withstand very large earthquakes without any major problems these days. Look at Japan. The problems are mostly in places that don't have regular large earthquakes, because people get complacent.
For example, if you live in Japan you arrange your stuff so that when the house shakes it doesn't get trashed. You put your TV on isolation pads, you don't use heavy pendant lights, tall bookcases are screwed in to the wall etc. That's why they get hit with a magnitude 7 or 8 every now and again and few people are hurt, where as in other countries a magnitude 5 kills hundreds.
If the Brietbart article links to the Census Bureau report, why didn't you link to the report directly? Let's click on it and see... Oh, it doesn't support the claim that 930k people left CA between the dates given in the Brietbart article!
There are multiple sources in that data, and you can see that the population did not fall.
Brietbart seems to have realized that it's easy for people to call bullshit on unsourced claims, so they started to throw in some sources that look authoritative but which don't actually support what they are saying. I guess their assumption is that most people won't bother to read the sources, they will just assume that they add credibility to the story.
CA is dead last (50th out of 50) in economic freedom.
Or put another way it has the best environmental and consumer protections.
Japanese pop bands are often used a bit like those talent shows on western TV, like "[Country]'s Got Talent" or "X Factor". The members are often already involved in other stuff, like being on TV variety shows, or just just trying to get started with a career in entertainment.
Either the band as a whole or the individual members can become popular with fans and then move on to other things. They use social media and in-person appearances. There is a whole culture built around it.
The maid uniform thing is hard to explain... Maids are seen as fun happy bouncy entertainers, the most popular format being the maid cafe. They started as a thing for nerds normally too shy to speak to girls, but these days they are popular with families.
According to this you would need to be earning well over 100k to see anything like that kind of cut: https://twocents.lifehacker.co...
Note that the very rich, like Trump, get a far bigger tax break.
Maybe you earn less but gain in other ways. In any case, that $1.5 trillion has to come from somewhere and in this case it's cuts to things like healthcare.
So you have a preference for certain races, hair colours etc. But say you met the perfect woman. You became great friends, she was beautiful, you enjoyed each other's company, you wanted the same things in life, basically your ideal partner in every way...
And then she tells you that she is trans. Would you break up with her because of that? Would you rule out sex because of it, despite everything else being ideal for you?
Preferences are one thing, but having a blanket ban on sexual relations with women you eventually discover are trans or... Grew up with a different cultural background to you, or looked 15 years younger than she actually is, since you mention those things.
If you wouldn't sleep with women in any or all of those categories despite any other factors, can you explain why?
This claim that he was asked to write this document seems to be false. In the interview he did on YouTube he states that he wrote it as a response and circulated it himself, never mentioning anything about being asked for feedback or criticism.
It doesn't seem to have harmed other trans candidates who managed to get elected against all odds.
The conservative victim narrative is failing as it becomes apparent that the people who said they would save you from it are just feathering their own nests. 2018 will be the backlash.

NEC make great laptops. Quality as good as any, thin, light, good performance... And a reasonable number of USB ports.

The term "household" generally refers to more than one person.
Anyway, the point stands. You can get different numbers with different parameters, but even for a single person on 40k the rate is only about 1.3%.
So, the question remains. Is that better than having $1.5 trillion in extra funding for services?
It will become less of an issue as more solar and battery backup gets deployed, and the cars themselves will be used for smoothing as that's a good trade-off for most users.
But yes, some upgrades will be needed. There will probably be tiered pricing too, with energy suppliers offering discounts to people who charge slowly overnight, perhaps on a circuit controlled by the power company (and guaranteed to deliver at least X kWh between 23:00 and 06:00).

Ah, good point, thanks.
Also, thanks for being the 1 out of 3 AC replies that didn't mis-gender her.

Do you have a citation for this claim?
Can't judge any of these elected politicians because they haven't been doing the job for long enough.
Trump gave himself and his friends a massive tax cut, at the expense of the people who voted for him.
Do those laws include pardoned felons though? Is a pardon in the US only a get out of jail card, not forgiveness for the crime?
It doesn't seem to have harmed other trans candidates who managed to get elected against all odds.
