As a Brit, I think that is insane, I have 5.6 weeks of legally mandated paid leave per year, that is the minimum they are allowed to get away with. My old job gave me 32 days per year, Americans are all bonkers for putting up with the way companies treat you.
I actually think that changing every 2 years is fairly optimal, let's be realistic here, the only way your getting a pay raise these days is change jobs (or not had an above Retail price index pay raise ever), so if you want your salary to go up you have to move jobs. You don't want to change too often because employers think you are flighty and won't stick around long, so 2 to 3 years before you move on and up seems about right.
I'm a Brit so not quite so up to speed with the US labour market but surely as in the UK those cheaper areas are cheap because there is no work there.
My (northern) hometown has cheap house prices, but there are few jobs as such my potential earnings are much lower here than in London and the South East of England. For what my 2 bed flat (in a not very nice area) cost me in London I could get 3 bedroom house with a nice garden in a good bit of town up here, but my career opportunities would be severely limited.
Surely it's worse in the US with a much greater geographical spread, telling someone to save up to buy a house in Detroit is probably not very helpful if they are software developer or engineer and need to be where the work is?
The US seems quite backwards in its credit card technology, here in the UK we have had chip & pin basically exclusively for a decade and are now using Rfid for low value touch based transactions (less than £30)
That would mean that the space between Galaxies was expanding faster than light wouldn't it? I remember reading that there was no reason it couldn't do, but wasn't aware of evidence that it could.
As a very pro European Brit, I'm afraid I have to agree with you. UKIP released a poster of a long line of refugees heading for Germany, it was widely decried as echoing fascism even by other leave organisations. Honestly I think it had enough of an effect to swing the vote.

Food prices up, energy will go up as the pound falls further still.
One of the things the EU is very good at is redistributing funds to poorer areas. The £350 million a week claim was bullshit as much of it came back to Britain in the form of aid to poor communities. Those same communities (my home town was one) were where the leave vote was strongest. They will not be getting the same aid from the Tory government.
So poor people may be happy now, but they won't be when reality bites.
I wish I could truly believe that people voted out for high minded reasons like Freedom, but I don't. At the last general election, I went back to my home town (Referendum vote share was 60% leave) and spent a foughtnight door knocking to help the MP get reelected. What I heard on the doorstep depressed me. Immigration, immigration,immigration was all people cared about. I wouldn't mind so much, but but my hometown is one of the most white English places in the country, so people have nothing to complain about re immigration. I'm afraid that the Brexit vote was all about fear and bigotry despite what the leavers will tell you.
I'm afraid given the vile comments of many of the "alt-right" conservatives do not have the moral high ground on respectful comments. I should probably point out to you why those of us on the left have given up on being nice and polite. We see the US (and my country the UK) heading down a path to fascism and are enraged and determined to save our nations from that mistake.
The EU is socialist? You have just proved that like all the other Brexiters you are totally clueless. The EU is not socialist, it aims to promote capitalist trade within Europe.
You are making a huge mistake. Advertising doesn't want an educated readership, people who know how to account for bias and check sources. It wants an uneducated readership who will believe what they are told unquestioningly.
To be fair doctors are not supposed to pass moral judgements on their patients. That means that a criminal gets the same life saving treatment as a boy scout. Was this a waste of a good heart that could have helped someone that wasn't total scum instead of this guy? Yes, but was it right to withhold the treatment? I'm not sure that it was.
I've found the battery fairly good on mine, and with 64gb of storage I've not noticed the lack of an sd slot. My main complaint is that sometimes the data connection doesn't reestablish when switching from WiFi back to 4g or when I get off the tube. I've switched to a different mobile network the other day and it seems to be better so it may have been Three's fault
Surely you do this the other way round and have Apple create a fake icloud site that accepts any username & password? You set the trusted network to have the icloud dns for that network point to fedcloud.com instead instead of icloud.com and slurp away? If Apple can provide an older backup then surely the backups cannot be encrypted at apples end and if you have legally compelled Apple to help, it's not like you would have issues with keys for the site? Any idea why the feds wouldn't ask Apple to do this instead? What am I missing?
Sadly, the beeb allowing non uk residents to pay a license fee would have the exact opposite effect on the Tories. They would scream unfairness that the beeb is directly competing in a market and use it as an excuse to close them down. The only way they would get away with it is if the BBC were virtually given away to the Murdock family, then the Bbc/sky/Fox Conglomerate could do what ever they want with the backing of the Tories.
Yes they are, I have several Muslim friends at work, some of them don't drink, but they go to Christmas parties etc and are indistinguishable from anyone else. One Muslim girl I work with is half Greek half Pakistani, she drinks but doesn't eat pork, oh and her boyfriend is white-english. How much more integrated do you expect people to get? Do they have to change their skin color? Give up their religion and culture totally? Honestly, class is far more important than race. Everyone I work with is middle class, as a result they actually feel they have a stake in society.
I read the headline, and got very excited thinking that someone had found a naked singularity, it should have been re-worded to say, The Mystery of the Black Hole with Middle aged spread or something. Finding a intermediate sized Black hole is interesting, but not quite as exciting as a naked singularity would have been. To be fair to/. Sciencemag came up with the title, not the editors!

Dosbox runs under Windows too doesn't it?
Well, Un is probably less likely to give away highly classified intelligence to the Russians than Trump, that is one thing in his favour.

I don't think he was suggesting it was official Church policy was he?
A lack of oil and no Trump business interests?
I've got news for you, the US finger prints you when you enter too if you are not a US national.

Living in the country that voted for brexit based on a bunch of obvious lies, I think the government have a point about true democracy.
