how did you fail to notice that tinymce doesn't need to be updated when chrome, safari, internet exploder, and every other browser are updated? that's right, internet exploder.
regardless of whose network, whatever happened to the punishment fitting the crime? expulsion? really? i got in-school suspension and saturday school for much worse.
that's odd. incompetence is something i have to cope with on a daily basis, but racism is something that i don't. i have found that taking a stand against incompetence will only get you fired, while taking a stand against racism is the only good choice to make.
except that science is just as much a religion as catholicism. any "truth" you think you observe is negated by the bias of your observation. what it all comes down to is what story sounds good to you.
you are correct. i disagree with those who claim the OP's friend is "technically correct." when he says, "science would never allow that" there is a presumption that science can do anything to prevent politics and human fallibility from allowing it. in reality, these situations are out of science's control.
they give away valuable swag to attendees just for attending. and paying the exorbitant ticket price. most attendees therefore don't even care for the conference itself. imagine if buying a ticket to a tool concert got you a free fender gibson guitar or a marshall half stack. their tickets are scalped pretty bad as it is, at least the buyers are actually fans of the band.
"We hope this case will serve as a warning to anyone who may think that comments made online are somehow beyond the law."
oh that's right, because we believe that no matter how offensive a person might be, they have a right to express themselves without fear of legal retaliation. on the other hand, it would be nice to see gingrich behind bars. if this Liam Stacey asshole made slanderous remarks, that would be different. but he's just another drunk, racist moron. par for the human course of events, as it always was. using intolerance to prove that intolerance is wrong is _____________.
i'm not as comfortable making that assumption as you are. "same volume" is hardly an assumption, it's quite easy to compare water with stuff in it apart from just water. especially when some of the "stuff in it" contributes to water loss. another assumption you're making is that people easily identify thirst from hunger. most people don't realize they're thirsty, they feel hungry instead. http://www.pureandhealthy.com/blog/2010/08/hungry-you-could-be-confusing-it-for-thirst/
so assuming people know when they're thirsty is not solid enough for me (get it? i kill me...).
And "less hydrated than someone else" isn't the same as "insufficiently hydrated" which is what "dehydrated" means
yes, i admitted that as well. last few sentences... it's what i meant by the arbitrary "dehydration threshold." as you put it, everyone's is different. if i eat a twinkie i'm not "not hungry" but i am "less hungry." someone else may be completely malnourished by it, while someone else may be more nourished than they were before eating it. but it's generally accepted that twinkies are not good solutions for hunger or nourishment. i hope you can see the distinction.
thanks for the anecdotes. i have plenty myself. have a great day!
ok, you're right about one soda, and you're right about multiple sodas in one (1) day. but a lifestyle where people only drink soda and very little actual water, like a vast majority of people apparently, those little bits of water loss aggregate. without a doubt, a person who drinks only sodas all day, everyday, is more dehydrated than someone who drinks the same volume of just plain water everyday. a soda by itself won't push you over the dehydration threshold, but it does cause some loss of water that wouldn't ordinarily be there. i admit my argument was a bit specious, but it was also more than a bit generalized. thanks for helping raise awareness.
i inferred that he was dehydrated before he got on the flight. after all, about 75% of population is dehydrated at any given time. it's ironic that most people take some pill with water to cure a headache, when the water itself is mostly responsible for the cure. drink a soda. congrats, you're now dehydrated.
"all wings considered equal" -- gliders and bird wings are not equal. with bird wings, lift is created by rotating the wing like you rotate your shoulder and specific flapping motions that reduce drag and allow liftoff, despite their weight. birds glide too, but they don't use many muscles to do so. gliding !== flapping.
Imagine attaching a 2x4 (a piece of structural lumber) to each arm
are those 2x4s hollow? you know, like bird bones are? birds are not extremely muscular animals as you suggest is required to fly.
Adaptations for flight The most obvious adaptation to flight is the wing, but because flight is so energetically demanding birds have evolved several other adaptations to improve efficiency when flying. Birds' bodies are streamlined to help overcome air-resistance. Also, the bird skeleton is hollow to reduce weight, and many unnecessary bones have been lost (such as the bony tail of the early bird Archaeopteryx), along with the toothed jaw of early birds, which has been replaced with a lightweight beak..... The vanes of each feather have hooklets called barbules that zip the vanes of individual feathers together, giving the feathers the strength needed to hold the airfoil...

no one will buy it and that will be the end of that. nothing to see here.
operational carelessness? you mean, like loose connection to GPS?
yeah, it was only amicable for cbs. they sure as shit weren't concerned with the people who wrote the script and for whom it was written (the fans).

why would you query a db to make arms wave? that makes no sense. it's more like
$params = array("extremity" => "arm", "side" => "right", "style" => "greet");
$robot->wave($params)->speak("Hello.");
and because of that, he's still correct.

sorry, but anyone who can end slavery can't be all that stupid.
amen, brother
wait, what??

i mean, can we get the death penalty for these fuckers? waterboarding/toenail torture, at least?
Then they'd still be thirsty, they'd drink more

a) I don't want to waste tons of time
k, so what are you doing here?

how to use Edisons in a sentence:
"Intellectual Ventures is responsible for over 1 million Edisons since the company began."
"A couple more Edisons and I won't have to actually invent anything again!"
"Forget the Benjamins, it's all about the Edisons!"
"I want this new batch of patents we bought Edisoned by the next fiscal quarter!"
"Yo dawg, I heard you like Edisons so I Edisoned your Edisons so you can Edison while you Edison."
k, maybe not that last one...
"Yo dawg, I heard you like Edisons, so I changed a few dates in my own Edison and added facebook sharing so you can't Edison my Edison while I Edison your Edison."
that's a little better...
