Is the Sargasso full of cocaine? If not, why the concern about young eels coming into contact with it? Plus, that's a chunk of ocean, not a river, so I'm further confused about how these young eels could be encountering cocaine infused river water.
Okay, that was racist. Well intentioned, but still racist. How? Well, think of all the individual personality traits you necessarily implied are defined by ethnicity (textbook definition of racism). Not only did you say that all Koreans are basically the same, you went ahead and rolled in Indonesians! Indonesia And Korea have wildly different languages, cultures, and religions!
Two people can have entirely distinct and contrasting viewpoints, yet when people call for diversity they're saying flat out that it's only the case for white American men, with every other group being made up of cookie-cutter clones.
"Diversity" is an indicator, not a tool. If our assumptions about the distribution of talent are correct, the primary-secondary education system is working, and society is sexually and ethnically unbiased, the demographics of universities should mirror that of society. Trying to artificially increase "diversity" will distort everything and can only damage the education system as a whole.
Why? Are ethnic groups monolithic in their views? Is exposing students to other ethnic groups what colleges are for? Outside anthropology departments of course.
So your grades were just fine in your major and minor? Doesn't that mean the test worked? You weren't there to get great grades in courses outside your major and minor, you were there to study in a particular field and you did well in it.
That's incredibly expensive. The force of supply and demand is inescapable. The university system can only accomodate a limited number of students. Lower requirements and try to send everybody and you will cause the cost of sending anybody to skyrocket.
This is already happening.
The simple fact is that we send too many people as is. Only a quarter of graduates ever use their degree, and many (if not most) end up in a job where a high school diploma is sufficient, even if the posted requirements include a bachelor's because we have overvalued a college degree to the point where it's actual value is in decline. So there's inflation on both ends of college - tuition costs more and more while the degrees are worth less and less. All becuase we as a society decided college was the path to solving all social ills, so we should send everyone regardless of their ability or the return on society's investment.
There's probably some psychological benefit to the parents who can afford the prep classes too. Which I think means that both this decision and the prep classes do the same thing - make people feel better without actual benefits.
I did remember a story where California would, as a consequence of not thinking things through, be mandating people buy something from China but I couldn't remember what it was. It clicked when I read your comment - solar panels.
I have DirecTV Now. It used to authenticate for the various Turner channel websites, apps and Roku channel. Not long ago it stopped being an option to login to them with my DTVN credentials.
I had better be f-ing able to login to Adult Swim now that AT&T owns it.
Also, I think it's a bad idea to let service providers also be the content providers.
That was back in 2013? First thing I thought when I saw the headline was, "Oh, they've added AI to that think I read about... when was it, a couple of months ago? Last year?" I didn't think it was five years ago, that's for sure.
Just email the two people using Steam on XP and the one weirdo using Vista. It's probably easier and you don't have to worry that they'll miss the announcement.
It just means that Trump has to certify that they are meeting the conditions of having the sanctions lifted. Like paying that billion dollar fine.
The part about the Federal government not buying their products is good. I don't know why it hasn't been a rule for a long time and applied to just about everything. The government (at any level) shouldn't be buying anything from China. Nor should anything Chinese be part of our infrastructure. That's a pretty obvious security issue.
Neither link says how they count streaming TV services like Sling or DirecTV Now. I made the switch a few months ago, how's my TV consumption being counted? What about when I open a Roku channel and watch live TV through it? Is it counted differently if I use it to watch something that aired yesterday?
Studios like to play all sorts of games to hide profits, dodge taxes and avoid royalty payments. Like charging themselves to distribute their own movies and a host of other little games that can make a profitable film look like a loser.

Sargassum and ghost pirates that aren't really ghosts and aren't even very good pirates. Everyone knows that.

SHH! That's not an appropriate thing to say in a tobacco shop!
I woke up with a clown's hand in my pocket.
Uhm, no. We need "more research" before we get behind your stupid, stupid idea.
Researcher: Okay Google, when will I die?
Google: Calculating.... NOW!
Google: KILL ALL HUMANS!
Every Connected Device in the world: KILL ALL HUMANS KILL ALL HUMANS KILL ALL HUMANS....

At least I don't have them anymore.
Not working yet. I'll give them a little more time before I complain.

But seriously, I don't know what you're referring to. Is California buying Chinese trains?

Is there anything to indicate the loan (which wasn't actually for him or his business) or trademarks wouldn't have been approved otherwise?

Just the first time it's happened under this Administration.
As in Daniel Keys Moran? He's one of my favorite authors!
