" working in retail" not just retail! I always have a print-out of the best excuses from the BOfH taped to my office wall, and use it ALL THE TIME when lusers come up and ask me "why is X not working?" since the actual answer is often far too technical for them to comprehend. Statistically, "solar flares" is probably the most-used. Second-most used is blaming whatever new software the corporate office has forced me to implement.
Totally, because spending two grand on a computer and expecting it to actually work as advertised is quite pretentious. While your suggestion is a perfectly acceptable temporary work-around, when someone is paying a premium price for such a device from a company who is all about style and "high endyness" this shouldn't be an issue.
"So was this not a problem before the election?" I never said it wasn't. In fact, it most likely was! However, this phenomenon has only really surfaced recently.
I don't know how you come to the conclusion that only one side is aware of something. The side I'm talking about isn't either the R's or D's. I'm saying the Russians are the only "side" that groks the fact that this is a multi-country, long-term campaign.
Neither side is offering anything sinister which occurred in secret (buying ads and paying shills is not sinister -- it's politics-as-usual)Sinister: giving the impression that something harmful or evil is happening or will happen. Most people consider advocating the succession of California and Texas "harmful", debacles such as Pizzagate...if someone showing up with a gun and threatening people at a pizza parlor isn't "harmful" then you need a new dictionary. "Opra says some white people have to die" "Pope Francis forbids Catholics for voting for Hillary!" "Michelle was caught cheating with Eric Holder" "Bill Clinton loses it in interview - admits he's a murder" there are literally thousands of other examples if you just look, and this is only in the US in this election cycle at the Federal level.
And it's not just fake news. Over a dozen intrusions into various election-related systems, including several state-level systems. Just because the hacks didn't "change" the election doesn't mean it's OK...that's not the point. The point of all of this is to destroy the public's confidence in the entire system itself, in multiple countries. It happened in France too, they just set up a honeypot and caught it first. Ukrainian utility systems are constantly under attack. Russians are right now penetrating the US, Turkey, and Switzerland electrical grid but as of yet haven't actually interfered with power distribution. This isn't some "guy in his basement"; this is a highly coordinated state-level campaign.
The issue of non-assimilation has nothing to do with this issue, nice try at straw man. You should go work for Fox News! It IS a problem, I agree, but has little to do with Russia's "virtual war" except that bringing it up is another "fear trigger" that Russia is also using; they use it quite a bit on Muslim immigrants in Europe to generate chaos and fear between the "native population" and the recent immigrants.
That's because you (and the general public) doesn't seem to grok the Russian's actual goals here. It wasn't to get Trump elected specifically. The real goal is the destabilization of Western democracies. Not just the USA, but France, the UK, and other NATO powers. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Russia is involved in the recent Catalina independence push too. They are involved with the pushes for both California and Texas to succeed. We are in a "virtual war" being waged on Facebook, talk radio, Fox news, and various other media outlets...and only one "side" is even aware of it. Asymmetrical warfare at it's finest!
I would assume the poster means some type of propulsion that avoids time dilation or such. Like the "Alcubierre warp drive ", some type of stabilized wormhole, or such. You know, stuff that NASA isn't really researching due to the fact that these are still mostly science fiction. Now, I DO think that NASA should be putting FAR more research into tech like VASIMR, and NASA should give White's "warp-field interferometer" experiments some actual orbital time somehow.
As for "next-gen reactors", we're STILL cleaning up the last site used to make the fuel. For the past several years we've been salvaging fuel from decommissioned nukes; and only recently have started working on building new production facilities to make new plutonium-238. It's highly toxic and not easy to work with. This isn't something that Elon could do, no country on the planet would let a private individual set up a processing lab for this.
An entire "hurricane season" isn't a "single event". A single hurricane during a season is, but it seems your equating the entire season to a "single event". Oh, and that's not really a "meme", but is actually a phrase off of "Ancient Aliens" that is said repeatedly by Giorgio A. Tsoukalos. More often said on the show is "Ancient Alien theorists say yes"; because apparently they NEVER say no.
Catalonia is still quite "in flux"; I assume the EU will soon "step in". I will say one thing...I had a.cat domain for over a year with ZERO info on it about Catalonia, their language, etc and there was no "check up" on it or me. I let it slide after the renewal went up to $60 per year.
It's not "bad" stories that are the problem. These stories aren't "bad", they are often purposely wildly inaccurate, completely made-up, or just straight-up lies. If a news story has some inaccurate information that's forgivable and shouldn't be censored. Yet when a "news story" is a complete fabrication created to use fear as a trolling device, these should be "checked at the door". Stories like "Sandyhook never happened", the Bowling Green Massacre, Geary Danley was the Las Vegas shooter and others are pure tolling.
I am bothered by the idea that people on Slashdot conflate Google and Facebook with "the government". This article isn't about the government doing anything, it's about Google and Facebook NOT doing "something" they claimed they are working on. I'm not sure where your pulling your "line" from either...the actual basis for this is the First Amendment that states "Congress shall pass no laws..." concerning the establishment of religion, freedom of speech, or of the press, or people gathering together (assembly), or "seeking redress of grievances". This is considered "censorship" for sure, but is certainly not the final all-encompassing definition.
Really? I find that very hard to believe. Per the US government's own website:"Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. Because it is not a state, it has no senators and its representative in the House of Representatives is a delegate, called the Resident Commissioner, with limited voting privileges. Delegates have a marginalized role in Congress and their constituents are not represented in Congress in the same manner as most citizens."
So you personally know Jenniffer González-Colón (who is a Republican, not a Democrat) and is NOT a "representative" but the Resident Commissioner, aka their official delegate? And the way you say "one", are you implying that there is more than one, like some secret cabal that only you know about? Or do you "personally know" Pedro Pierluisi, the previous Resident Commissioner, who is Democrat?
Now, I'm not contesting the idea of "a corrupt banana republic run by a handful of thieving families". I could counter that the USA itself is becoming "a corrupt intellectual property rights republic run by a handful of thieving corporations"
What happened here is a symptom of what our forefathers rebelled against in the first place..."taxation without representation". PR has no "real" power in the Federal government, and is perceived by the current POTUS as an "an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water." He can't even speak in complete sentences, so PR is probably SOOL.
Many Federation starships could do atmospheric maneuvers. Both the Intrepid and Nova class could actually land.During the ST:D time, the ship are much more compact as well.
General Order 15: "No flag officer shall beam into a hazardous area without armed escort." Also, although it was never "numbered", the Captain and XO are never supposed to go on an away mission at the same time, although this seems to be frequently ignored.
"5-10 new jobs a day"..."competing with ~20 other people" Well, I'm no programmer, but by my math you should have a job in a maximum of 4 days. If there are only 20 other people, five new jobs a day...within four days all those people will be employed leaving any new job openings just for you.
Technically it never reached the point of being able to be ratified. First, there must be the "advice and consent" of the Senate, and THEN ratified by the POTUS. However, there is a long tradition in the US called "Sole Executive" agreements. Congress has tried several times to "revoke" this tradition and failed, so this is one of those measures that is "not specifically denied" so technically allowed. In regards to the Paris Agreement, there is (was?) a high chance of any monetary costs incurred by US entities would have been challenged and blocked; reasons for this stem from the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
The Paris Agreement was, however, crafted specifically with this in mind. They purposly did NOT call it a "treaty", and this is exact reason why most of the terms are nonbinding, and why it calls for countries to set targets without setting sanctions for noncompliance. It's purposely vague because of US law.
"How to burn jews" is such a silly thing I totally agree, it's not like burning Jews requires any special procedures that don't also work on all other humans./sarcasm
Indeed, there wasn't some employee at Facebook that said "hey, let's put these strings into our advertising system! We'll make great $$$!". It's there rudimentary "AI" system that is pulling in information from various places that determined this. It is more of a reflection of society and blame should not be laid out on Facebook. This really is a "shoot the messenger" scenario. As soon as Facebook realized what was happening, they took steps to rectify it. Their "AI" isn't really intelligent, it's just pattern matching, so GIGO.
Because World Daily News is such an upstanding, non-biased site! It's never been shown to be one of the original alt-right propagators, nor has it ever been called out for being a antigovernment extremist group. WDN has never been sued for purposely twisting the truth or mis-quoting anyone. They most certainly did NOT promote birthism of Obama, or peddle other conspiracy theories.
You might as well just quote the "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" for reasons to be antisemitic!
Which, to me, makes this even more confusing. Anti-capitalist AND anti-socialist...so people are claiming that Jews are against capitalism AND socialism? I grok that it is two different groups claiming this...which, to me, just means using Jews as a scapegoat. Both can't be true, it's one or the other.
In reality, it's really tribalism. Jews are one of the oldest surviving "tribes" that still hold a cohesive connection with their ancient past. The Talmudic customs and rituals extend further back than most people can really comprehend; past Babylon, probably into Sumerian time periods. In modern humans, tribalism (IMHO) is linked deeply with "the fear of others), which itself is a remnant of the VERY ancient past with there were multiple human species roaming the earth.
When I worked at HPE in their NOC on the overnight shift, those machines became my food source. Due to our clients, I couldn't even leave the property to get food.
One of the few "awesome" things about Tulsa is the local company Quiktrip. They run quite a few convenience stores, and are pretty nice. Most of them are clean, safe, open 24x7. Many of them have a "kitchen" where they make pizza, pretzels, etc right there (and during the day on-demand). Fountain drinks, fresh ice tea of several flavors, slushy machines, fresh fruit, plastic-box salads made daily...they also own their own refineries and keep their gas prices pretty low. Even now, our gas is at $2.38 a gallon and was below $2 before Harvey.
To top it off, they also pay employees pretty well for the area, usually at least 1/3 over the local "living wage". They constantly tear down old stores and rebuild on the same spot, expand services, etc. I miss them when I go out of town; one of the only things I actually miss LOL.
Nah, they will just use some other State's already deployed solution that has yet to be PROVEN insecure. Because if it's not been proven, then no one really knows...and in today's political climate in the US this means it's got "plausible deniability" so it's all good from a political point of view.

And yet those "bigger" plants are less nutritious by biomass. So, you need to eat even more of them to get the same amount of minerals and vitamins.
