Our cutter was one of those weather stations. 98% of the time the data we gave out was bogus. Obviously some data is good. My point was one should not place blind faith in what people are telling you. You should question assumptions, and the validity of the world view.
-Or you can just go on putting blind faith in the experts, and believing the results of the latest scientific study that contradict the results of the second most recent scientific study.
cool story bro!
I certainly won't be putting blind faith in the Coast Guard any more! Maybe we should cut their budget...
The problem with Social Security is that people are living longer, screwing up the demographics it was originally based upon. If Congress had the intestinal fortitude to adjust the retirement age to reflect this fact, we wouldn't have a problem with SS. It's just a matter of drawing the line at the right place on the bell curve.
Hell, if they had the foresight to capture that calculation in the original legislation, rather than citing a specific retirement age, we would never have had this problem at all.
GET THE FUCK OFF MY LAWN.

I'm pretty sure I recall other companies selling Personal Computers before IBM even go into the market. Lots of them named for fruit (really, WTF?...) for some reason, Pineapple, Apricot, Kumquat, Orange.... And I'm sure that Tandy, Texas Instruments, Commodore, Atari, Franklin, among a myriad of others would dispute your ill-informed claim.
not saying outsourcing doesn't hurt Americans...

I'm sorry, can you please remind me what the I stands for in IBM?
The short and dirty version is "If you asked a bunch of libertarians to design a digital currency, this is what you'd get". Which isn't a wholely bad idea of course, but obviously has some issues that need to be worked out.

wait, I thought OP was claiming that statistic wasn't high enough!
Maybe I better get my sabersaw back from little Nancy before she ruins it...

the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
One basement's as good as another.
But how are we going to prevent all these women in the confines of the bunker from synchronizing their cycles?!!!
you're probably one of them goddamned freedom-hating greedy teachers with your gold-plated Celicas!
I believe giving Arduinos to the rebels would violate the Geneva conventions about the proliferation of annoying wannabe hipster "hackers".

We're waiting to leapfrog from ICD-9 to ICD-11. We're expecting to save a boatload of effort that way.
