In which case the IRS allows you to write off the expenses that support the office. If it's a room in an apartment, you can write off the rent to cover the percentage of area—if the office is used "mostly" for the business. This means you are free to play games in it at night.
You have to separate demand for the product from demand for the shares of the company producing said product. The share price reflects the market's confidence in the value of the shares which is only partially informed by the demand for the product. If the divestment campaign gets big enough, investors could become wary of being left holding the bag, and the share price would drop.
But I see no massive selloff scenario that would cause the share price to rise. "Everyone's selling these shares and others are refusing to buy them? They must be super valuable!"
and of course that perennial favorite, the Patriarchy: the vast conspiracy of straight white men who have worked tirelessly to keep women and minorities wriggling in the dirt since the dawn of history.
I like how you listed a bunch of non-issue conspiracies that only the craziest of crazies on the left actually believe (as opposed to being bombastic) and then neatly conclude that racism and sexism don't exist and never have.
"UFOs, trans-dimensional beings, Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, satellites—utter nonsense!"
. . . The lawsuit alleges that Disney terminated the employment of the plaintiffs "based solely on their national origin and race, replacing them with Indian nationals." The people who were laid off were multiple races, but the people who came in were mostly one race, said Blackwell.

I get it. It's too hard to make even these minor fixes. But for the love of God, can you at least read the summary and remove obvious duplicate sentences. I'm seeing this more and more, and I'm about to disable advertising in protest.
This means my investment in oil, shale, and natural gas should reap even larger returns
Not true. They sell their investments to other investors. That by itself has zero effect on your investment. But if this happens enough, it signals the market that these investments may not be as worthwhile, and new investors may offer lower prices as a result. Down goes your portfolio.
Once Trump "opens up the libel laws," if this guy fails to follow through on his threat, Trump will be able to sue him. Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
If readers are worried that the Cylance research spells some kind of doom, don't. US officials have already explained that attacks on the actual voting machines are almost impossible, and not something they fear. If they happen, they'll occur in one or two isolated precints, but not in a coordinated nation-wide attack.
Are you willfully ignoring the context surrounding the Koch Brothers? Most people don't fault them for donating to candidates that support their position. That in and of itself is how politics works. It sucks that they can do so at such an extreme level compared to everyone else when it's supposed to be one vote for every person, but that's beside the point.
The problem is that the Kochs profit massively off of fossil fuels and have been funding any candidates that will deny climate change and thwart any meaningful discussion, investigation or mitigation of it. They are willing to compromise our species' long-term survival on this planet for their own short-term gain.
Uh, they didn't screw up with IT and accidentally expose an unsecured file server. They purposely ripped and served up DVD screeners in direct violation of their agreements. Not some automatic shrink-wrap agreement or TOS but and actual specific, legal contract signed by both parties. I have no problem with companies enforcing their contractual agreements with each other.
Of course, I didn't RTFS. Were the culprits just some innovative—er, I mean opportunistic—employees, or was there a larger internal conspiracy?
The story says that Mark Zuckerberg was looking to "get in on the action a bit, and perhaps curry favor with Podesta and the Clinton camp in shaping public policy." Let's check the email they quoted.
Mark is meeting with people to learn more about next steps for his philanthropy and social action and it’s hard to imagine someone better placed or more experienced than you to help him
He’s begun to think about whether/how he might want to shape advocacy efforts to support his philanthropic priorities and is particularly interested in meeting people who could help him understand how to move the needle on the specific public policy issues he cares most about. He wants to meet folks who can inform his understanding about effective political operations to advance public policy goals on social oriented objectives (like immigration, education or basic scientific research).
Mark wants help learning how to make his philanthropic efforts more effective? What a monster! How long will we allow these billionaires to spend their fortunes trying to improve education and support scientific research? It sounds like he wants to become a more useful citizen by reaching out to people in his professional and social network—and we can't have any of that!

It's an ellipsoidal orbit because the shape of the orbit is an ellipsoid.
Ellipsoid: A three-dimensional figure whose plane sections are ellipses or circles.
Satellite orbits are planar, i.e., two-dimensional. No need for ellipsoids.
Lots of people want to try to appear smart.
. . . by unnecessarily complicating things.
Wow.
Naw, it's simply human nature. Welcome to humanity!
Clearly, they wanted Trump to be able to tweet something snarky about it.
China saddle light launch failed. Egg foo young all over face! Not even in office and won space race! #MAGA
Landing and hitting the ground are two very different things.
This! A thousand times, this. I knew I should have saved that last mod point. :)
This is just an extension of his house.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't help the GP whose shares halved in value.

The first episode was downloaded illegally 7.9m times, the second 6.4m times and the third 4.6m times.
That's a pretty severe falloff given they aren't paying to watch it. Doesn't bode well for the show's continued success.
but don't pretend . . .
You forget your audience.
This sounds an awful lot like middle-out compression. I smell a lawsuit!
Radical Islam can't be a factor here.
Fundamentalists can cause the sea level to rise? Holy shit, we're fucked!
There are currently 60 million war refugees according to UNHCR
So either our military commanders havent kept up with whats been going on the last decade, or they can't even imagine current reality.
I understood that quote to count only refugees from Bangladesh—not worldwide.
He said one metre of sea level rise will flood 20% of his nation. "We're going to see . . . 30 million people."
Like that tiny kerfuffle known as the Vietnam War^H^H^H Police Action?

Can't we make rockets out of wood and launch them into space? Problem solved!

It's their job to read and delete posts that run afoul of the site's content rules. Why would they be fired for doing it?
This never was about a blanket "Muslim" ban.
