That's right but not relevant here. He wasn't do that not as an investment
It's incredibly relevant - he literally took all his eggs (money) and put them in one basket (Enquadrdriofomaligo or whatever it was called).
It doesn't matter if the purpose was investment or short term transfer.
Same reason why when traveling you would not get a bunch of travelers checks and keep them all in the same place. (not that anyone uses travelers checks anymore, but still).
He was moving to Canada from the US and wanted to save money on conversion fees
Unstated: also wanted to avoid Canadian taxes on said money.... and he paid the ultimate conversion fee instead.
It's not that I don't feel somewhat sorry for him, but I think he was way more foolish than unlucky. "unlucky" is almost always just another way to say "didn't really think through possibilities".
I've seen similar disturbing images, but an interesting aspect of all the ones I have seen is they involve sea life. Why should people well away from any coast have to cease using plastic straws as well? Straws on land are ugly but they don't seem to attract animals in the same way that harms them (that said, if I say any straws laying on the ground now when out walking I pick them up and throw them out).
I don't get it, does the google maps app, that reads aloud the directions in real-time, not do the same thing when walking around?
Yeah it says "turn left here" or "go forward 400 feet".
While logically useful I find it distracting, and don't have a good feel for if I'm walking two or four blocks (especially in a city I do not know how large blocks are).
A quick visual run-through paired with instructions like "turn left here" would be fantastic, because I'd know to be ready for a turn a while before I reached it, and also be aware of any potentially confusing intersections that were in store for me to be is the right position earlier (when driving).
A lot of people just process information better visually anyway, so it would have that benefit as well..
Give us all a good laugh and name one candidate from the last election, or any potential candidate for the4 upcoming election, that is not a poor choice.
The best Space Nutters always talk about building floating cities on Venus. I'll tell you what: you show you can build a floating city here on Earth first.
The build is somewhat comparable since the atmosphere of Venus is so much more dense, building on the water is a lot closer to building in the Earth's much less dense atmosphere... and you even have the benefit of salt water bing highly corrosive to test out what you are building, though Venus is probably a whole other level of challenge there.
I personally think building on Mars is still a better choice than Venus, though it would be nice to see people start to think through options there more realistically.
Although the AR thing sounds like a nice gimmick, I think what would be really useful is something Google could deliver pretty easily - a speed run as it were, a fast video showing me traveling the whole route (street map style view) in about 30 seconds or so, that I could play at any time. I think that would give me just enough visual heads up about what it looks like around where I should turn, without taking up any of my mental processing time while I am actually walking/driving.
faster than Trump pounds out nonsense statements on Twitter.
You know what's funny? I support Trump, yet never bring him up unless it's directly pertinent to the topic at hand.
Yet people that hate him seem to want to talk about him all the time. If I have someone I really dislike, my goal in life is that I think about them zero. In fact my general goal in life is to think about politicians zero.
If nothing else for your own health forget about Trump.
First we were told cockroaches were the only things that were survive a nuclear war. Now we are to believe that insects are super fragile? I don't think so, they have a super short lifespan and prodigious replication rates so as to be able to out-evolve any threat and take over any exposed ecological niche. The one time humans could have maybe made dent, with DDT and mosquitos, they checked out thanks to more fake science that claimed DDT harmed birds eggs.
Your policy these days should be absolute disbelief in any article trying to make you panic, without strong and un-biased proof. Given the past and current ability of scientists in any field to lie in a large variety of ways, in order to support a result they "know" to be true, means you simply cannot trust published results without a ton of corroboration.
I only see this story after the Democrats took over the house, and are blocking Trump's agenda - which is the prosperity of all beings, including insects.
If you too wish to block the prosperity of insects, but all means continue to wail about Trump like a two-year old.
. So, yea, more melted ice will pretty clearly cause a lot more of a surface rise.
Didn't say it was a large percentage (in fact the 10% you ended up with is more than I thought it was). I just said, that is not factored in.
But as more and more ice melts into the ocean, that'll become a massive contributing factor maybe thermal expansion>
That seems kind of crazy to me, and also you are not factoring in how much more slowly water will melt if more ice is dumped into the ocean (especially in an area like Antartica where the threshold is very close between melting and not melting, once ice is removed from geothermal sources).
No, it was correctly modded funny. Almost all my posts exist in a quantum state between funny and insightful, the actual result not observable until moderation occurs.
We were all told that the large majority of the sea level rise would be ice sheets melting. Oops!!
And it turns out they cannot even be sure of the ice shelves collapsing...
Ans who has factored in the greater weight of water causing the ocean floor to be compressed a bit further than it is already? Even a rice of a few inches is a massive pressure increase on the ocean floor.
The whole point of the RAND patent pool around standards for things like wireless modems, is exactly so there will not be a minefield - just a tollbooth of relatively known quantity.
But by and large, there's not real any racism left, just a lot of people claiming this or that is racism - even when not referring to race.
One of the most aggravating aspects of this faked racism, is that when you cannot refer to someones race for purposes of pure description - which would seem to be the case with the Ring videos. Why is it so wrong to say someone s black if they are? Why has that become evil, in an age where people of all color should celebrate who they are?
I wasn't interested in the Ring camera at all, but I may have to consider it if for no other reason than to stick it to the PC bastards, and speak truth to power...
Sad to see another company give way to the federal government on things like this. And all for Stone, so dangerous he was released on bail the next day?? Sad I say.
Given this bias, do you think they are interested in presenting information that would benefit the majority of people
Absolutely not, they are interesting in presenting information that gets them the most funding, even if that is targeting a minority of people (which it is).

software engineers are perfectly capable of charting out the future of the species in spaaaaaaaaaace
They are; just not Canadians.
Wowzers. I grew up on Pac-Man and Asteroids. Different world.
What if those asteroids were sentient, you ever think of that?
They are just there giving you good space then BLAM.
At least in GTA you don't saw the prostitute into pieces and shoot the pieces (or maybe that was in an update).

I propose you see if there is actually a problem before acting or panicking. Wow, what a radical concept, to insist on replication of results.
Or you know, you can continue to deny the scientific method has any validity for causes you favor.

This I Tesla you are talking about, who would have willed it's function into being, then left scientists decades to explain why it actually worked.
What a shame he was never give more backing to come up with some more amazing things...

Why do you think their goal is to maximize funding? Isn't this a non-profit designed to change society?
Ha Ha ha, very funny.
See: Greenpeace.
He's not dead yet! In fact, he's going for a walk and feels happy!
Oh really.
So everyone with older devices is left to rot?
You mean the ones that cannot run Group FaceTime to begin with... Derp!
Fuck you, Apple.
No sir - fuck *you*. And the already dead horse you came in on.

Does not say majority to me.
iOS on the other hand forbids that kind of app
If Charles as an iOS app is possible (which it is), then you could have that kind of blocking application for iOS as well.
The way it works is that it acts as a local VPN, through which all traffic is routed.
