Woohoo! I going to combine it with all that money I keep "saving" at the grocery store and pretty soon I'll have enough for a membership at Mar-a-Lago!
Either that or it's another scientific conspiracy to keep research $ flowing into worthless research while those darned scientists get rich off the taxpayer's backs.
Every time I follow a link to a news story, the web site puts a popup on my browser that says I should turn off my ad blocker. Are you going to tell me that Facebook can't generate a popup that shows the source of an ad when you simply move you mouse or pointer or finger over the ad? I have a hard time believing that.
If your card is stolen and you need a replacement, how do the authorities know that you are the legitimate card holder and not the guy who stole a card and then, pretending to be you, requested a replacement?
It seems to me the only way to absolutely identify a specific individual is to use some hopefully unalterable biomarker, if there is such a thing, such as a DNA sequence. Imagine the protests that would ensue when everyone is ordered to hand over DNA samples to the authorities so they can issue new govt ID cards.
Once you have this new ID system worked out, it should eliminate the need for passports, assuming you can get the rest of the world to go along with it. The fundamentalist Xtains will be literally up in arms over trying to do something like that.
Like why people are willing to spend stupid money on stupid products advertised in the airline magazines. Sharper Image probably wouldn't exist without the extra stupid provided by low oxygen concentrations on airplanes.
whatever BS is included in the latest best-seller business book summaries they read, or whatever they read in that airline magazine on their last flight (you know, the article that was sandwiched between Sharper Image ads for electrically heated dog sweaters and the ad for $500 per person steak dinners). They'll do something with it when one of their hired-gun management consultants tells them what they should do with it.
Trump's lawyers will easily delay proceedings beyond 2020. He will get pardoned.
I just hope that when elections roll around again people don't forget that it was the GOP that foisted Trump on us (after they attempted to foist Palin on us). They should be made to pay for that into the next century.
And we had an electoral college that was intended to keep people like Trump from happening, too. Plans are plans. Reality is a whole different thing. As Amerika slides into fascism, the old plans aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Engineering isn't all IT... I was an EE, designing RFICs for phones and other devices, among other types of work...
As a dentist I have worked/been abused in public health clinics and private practice, and done locum tenens work. I've been working in a clinic for AIDS patients for the last 8 months. It doesn't pay great, but the hours are good and the people I work with, including my boss, and most of my patients are pleasant and appreciative of the work I do. I have found that there's a lot of work available for dentists. It is not too hard to find a new job if the old one sucks. My only regret is that I didn't quit engineering when I was about 30 years old- I worked a lot of bad jobs for much too long. Dental school at 50 YO was hard.
Stroke of luck? I started dental school in 2007, and they were telling us that it's going to be a buyer's market for dental practices when we graduate because more people were retiring than coming out of dental schools. Then the stock and real estate market melt-downs of 2008-9 happened and all those old dentists saw their retirement portfolios cut in half. They stopped selling their practices and retiring and instead hired just-out-of-school dentists and paid poorly because there were so many dentists and so few jobs. The pendulum is swinging the other way now, but there are more dental schools churning out more dentists all the time.
a lack of intelligence causing the next world war. There's plenty of THAT everywhere, right now, especially in the White House.
Any kind of military attack on N Korea, even a covert attempt on Kim's life, will lead to nukes being used in S Korea and Japan. Millions of refugees will pour across the border into China. It will be a disaster as Trump says "like the world has never seen", and who better to oversee such a disaster than Trump?
He won't need to pardon himself or family members. Even if you get him out of office first, then charge him with crimes, Pence will pardon him as his first act as president. Trump and his crew are untouchable, truly beyond the reach of the law. That's why it's good to be king!
In my experience, the majority of people going to see dentists are middle aged and older people. Younger people have a tendency to let their teeth go until something hurts. Middle aged people and older people prefer to see someone with gray hair working on their teeth than some kid right out of school. Middle aged people and older people are also more likely to have insurance, not that that really matters, but a lack of dental insurance keeps a lot of younger people away from dentist offices. A recent ADA study found that the cost of dental insurance is higher for most people than the cost of going to the dentist and paying out of pocket (surprise!). For some reason people prefer to pay insurance companies more than they are willing to pay the dentist to actually do the work that's required.
I think it's interesting that the insurance companies have got people thinking that insurance = healthcare. That way the "debate" is about "healthcare" but the reality is that the debate is about corporate welfare to insurance companies. If the mainstream media ever stops calling it the "healthcare debate" and starts calling it what it is, we might make some progress toward universal coverage in this country. But as long as insurance = healthcare, people will be paying much too much for much too little.
Engineers in their 40s are pushed toward marketing or management, but there are 10 engineers for every one of those jobs. And that insight and perspective that an older engineer can provide can be provided by one engineer. You don't need 20 of them on the payroll.
Engineering is fine work while you're younger, but you should be working toward your second career by the time you're 30.
I left engineering (or shall I say, engineering and I parted ways?) when I was in my mid 40s. I went back to school for 6 years and became a dentist. That's a field where most patients prefer to see an older person...
No one but distributors actually buys the products. The products exist to keep the pyramid just barely legal.
Bitcoins are only held by "distributors". They buy and sell them amongst themselves, driving the price ever higher. They have no more value than tulip bulbs did in the 1600s, and will end the same way, when people come to their senses.
Trump has a few Goldman Sachs people in his cabinet. Maybe they get together, tell Trump we need something to move the markets big, because all the dopes will panic and sell at firesale prices. We'll sell for a few days, while the market is at all time highs, before the big Trump announcement, then Trump will threaten nuclear war causing the market to dive, then we'll make money on the transactions when people panic and sell, then we'll swoop in and buy again while everything is low, then there will suddenly be some progress in diplomacy with NK, the markets will decide they are oversold, and people will buy back in, and we'll make money on the transactions.
And no one's 401K or IRA ever ran dry before they died...
And if your's did dry up, you'd have only yourself or the thieving financial engineers on Wall Street, who spend their careers figuring out legal ways to steal everyone's money, to blame.
People have figured out that actively managed funds are a rip off, so now they pour money into index funds. The more money that goes into them, the more tempting a target they become. Some clever person at Goldman Sachs is going to figure out how to manipulate those funds to their benefit. It's coming. You'll see.
I mean the guys who own the big companies, who put one of theirs in the white house, don't need educated, healthy people any more. That's why education is failing, and our health care/insurance system is such a disaster. Smart people are harder to control (witness the IQ of the average Trump supporter), so they create a two stage strategy. First they get everyone under 30 deep into student loan debt because they want the money that the baby boomers would otherwise leave to their kids. The reaction is the second part- people start to question the value of education, which leads to more of them avoiding it. Now they discover an unexpected benefit - reduced lifespans mean lower pension obligations. It's a win-win!
need safe water to drink, clean air to breathe, health care, education, bridges that don't fall down, roads without pot holes, or any of that other crap the government previously forced upon us, either.
All we need are nukes and bankers who are free to create wealth for all of us. And that wall between us and Mexico...
is that it's all about giving money to people whose only proven talent is making slick videos and maybe a semifunctional prototype. Very few have the business chops turn their idea/prototype into a commercial product.
