Been doing it since the 1980's, still keep it in my camping gear but I'm too busy to do it on the weekends any more. Biggest thing I found - that I actually kept - was an old spear gun on the Oregon coast. Most valuable was an 1800's wedding ring with an old 'Mine Cut' 3/4 carat diamond with sapphires in a Utah campground, 4000 bucks.
This guy is an Ayn Rand troll, stop feeding him. His myopic world view starts and stops on the pages of whatever libertarian tripe he should be wiping his ass with instead of reading.
Find me a single incidence of left wingers in the US killing someone in the past 20 years, ah, see there it is, civil disobedience is far more preferable. Stop sucking on Beck's man tits and grow a brain.
When are you seriously away from a plug for almost 8 hours at a time? The max I personally have found myself using a computer without being within walking distance of an electrical outlet, is when I'm watching movies in coach class on Amtrak, maybe 3 hours at a time before I have to go plug it in.
There is a difference between not knowing the difference between a mean and a rolling mean, but this guy did not know the difference between a mean and a median.
We don't tolerate fools and you can tell after a few meetings who knows what they are talking about and who is bullshitting.
If you can code well enough to make even just another derivative application, you should surely be making at least 20 dollars an hour doing something related to IT, CS or programming.
Knowing the ins and outs of your profession quantitatively is the difference between dying in middle management and retiring in corporate because, if you are only capable of understanding the basic day to day numbers of your operation, you are not going to be much use in long term strategic thinking.
We promoted a middle management guy at work last year who was promptly demoted when he asked more questions about the graphs at presentations than a freshman.
I love rabid right wingers who have no concept of why the founders thought that it so damn important we have certain liberties, than telling anyone who disagrees with their calls for a flag-waving autocratic theocracy, " If you had lived at time X_____, me or someone like me would of killed you and that would of been justice. "
A) For someone who cherry picks quotes from Tocqueville, I can tell you have never read him, have you even read a synopsis of Democracy in America? One of his great warnings to the US was over denying minorities the right to freedom of speech, in fact if you pickup the cliff notes. He may of gone on to restrict the press in France but only insofar as to prevent armed revolution/insurrection. The US has sedition laws and inciting a riot laws for this purpose now.
B) Learn to critically think and debate you intellectual midget.
"You have no inherent right to abuse someone else so stop with your logical fallacies. Your asshole is showing." -- You are an outrageous and deluded hypocrite and I hope cancer consumes your soul.
Seriously, as someone who has kept relatively healthy over the years it astonishes me how some people let themselves go. I'm not talking about the guy who weighs 200-300 lbs that can still walk up stairs without collapse but people in their 20's and 30's on obesity scooters and toilets for people who weigh up to 2000 lbs.
We watch Fry and Laurie out here in Oregon--I own all the DVDs, I grew up on it, it was on my local PBS station. My parents never allowed me to watch corporate broadcast television, so PBS and the local college station.
State Farm's niceness is highly dependent on who runs the local office, when my local State Farm franchise's owner died I didn't think anything would change, but the new owner -- his son -- was a pee drinking Glenn Beck devotee who made going to the office an experience in dealing with his mental health issues, he would actually make small talk about him battling 'porn addiction' and alcohol since his father passed. We switched to Geico.
Because counties/states that have lower taxes typically have vice taxes and sales taxes to make up the loss, which disproportionately target poor people. With a flat sales tax, the poor spend more of their money just trying to put food on the table than the rich do and they also are far more likely to smoke, drink and gamble -- all things heavily taxed to make up for less tax revenue from income/property taxes.
Yeah, reality is complex and the situation with our health is never really black and white.
Fats are fine if you want to sit around all day but as someone who bikes 120 miles a week and rock climbs/golfs/hikes on the weekends I eat 300-400 grams of carbs a day, at least --mostly in vegetable and whole grain form. 6% body fat and a 50 resting heart rate with normal BP and Cholesterol. If you can burn the carbs and spend 3-4 hours a day exercising than do it.
I'm part of two bands in my spare time, who are in all honesty rather mediocre for our area and genre but still manage to pull in collectively a little over 1000 a month in sales online. Even with just a few fans nowadays you can usually make beer and pizza money if you don't sound like complete ass.
How is it ironic, that they create the perfect tld for kiddie porn by giving one to a sovereign country which has the 60 years of human rights abuses as its #1 talking point?
We are talking about a country that has a problem with cannibalism for eff's sake, kiddie porn is child's play.
They have multiple plants, this benefits only the extremists in Israel by giving the hawks something to say they tried "non-violent methods" and for Iran to say that Israel is trying to destroys it currently peaceful nuclear program. There is no way that Obama would do something to provoke the one country that like a domino falling would make the current Iraq and Afghanistan debacle into a regional conflict.
IBM did not really ween itself off the government tit till the 1970's and it is slowly but surely returning to it. All electronics manufacturing, save for a few consumer only companies in the US relied on government contracts, R&D deals and trickle down military technology to prosper in the post WWII era. Since Ike established DARPA in 1958, it has been involved in everything from rockets to pacemakers to Artificial Intelligence. Until places like Xerox Parc in the late 70's there was no civilian equivalent that across so many industries since Edison's Menlo Park.

The UK has things like ASBOs which the courts there use to ninny and nanny everyone into docile little bastards.

American soldiers have fought for no one's freedoms since WWII, to me and many people in my generation they are just a bunch of mercenaries.
Funny thing is, if Germany had Hitler as royalty they would still have the blood line as the head of state.

I have not bought anything new bigger than a breadbox in over 6 months and I'm fine. Saving up for my down payment on a condo.

Its the same reason why douche-bags across Silicon Valley start driving bullet proof cars, get panic rooms and start flying around in helicopters.
