What's the appeal of noisy keyboards? I hate all that clicking and clacking. I have a rather fancy gaming keyboard I hardly use because the noise is so irritating it seriously detracts from my gaming. I have to wear headphones so the sounds of the game aren't overwhelmed by the keys.
Quiet keys are one of the best things to ever happen to keyboards. And yes, I am old enough to have grown up with noisy keyboards and typewriters. I hated them, and I loved it when keys got quiet.
They should be able to block cell phones because prisoners aren't allowed to have unfettered and unmonitored communications with anyone but their lawyers. Yes, the fees for phone calls are ridiculous and borne by (let's assume) innocent family members, which is just plain wrong. But smuggled cell phones aren't a response to outrageous fees, they're a way to conduct criminal activity from within a prison.
Like, "There's a guard giving me trouble, kill his wife." Or, "No, we need $1100 per kilo. If they don't like it, kill them. Now, where are we on finding that witness? I need them silenced before my appeal."
If he was comitting violent acts and CNN caught him, that would be one thing. They would turn over their info to the police and he would be prosecuted. But he wasn't, he was just talking crap. CNN is not the speech police.
Worse, they stated that exposing him would probably result in violence against him. Then they said they would expose him if he didn't shut up. Thus, "Shut up or we'll hurt you".
It doesn't matter what he said, a news organization threatened violence in order to silence him. That is wrong on so many levels that however big a dick he is it pales in comparison.
I don't know, but if you are aware that the wife will shoot him for it, then you are threatening to kill him and that is a crime. If you know she'll beat him with a frying pan and put him in the hospital, then that's a crime. If you think she will raise an angry mob and lynch him, then that's a crime.
CNN first stated that they wouldn't expose him because he would probably come to harm. Then they threatened to expose him. They're in trouble.
Ah, but consider also that CNN first stated they wouldn't release his information because he would likely come to violent harm. Thusly they are explicitly telling someone that they must comply with CNN's desires or CNN will use violence to punish them.
And what is it called when the threat of violence is used to make someone change their behavior? Extortion.
What is it called when a news organization uses the threat of violence to silence an individual? I have no idea. I don't think it's ever happened before.
So now it seems big businesses are less sensitive to increasing labor costs than small businesses. Meaning that Seattle is now killing small businesses in favor of big businesses like Starbucks.
Is fewer small businesses and more chain stores what Seattle wants? Cuz it's what they're getting.
Which is fine if you're building from scratch. I'm not knocking my house down so I can build a new one with a more efficient design, and I feel safe in the assumption that Norwegian homeowners share my feelings on the matter. Nor am I particularly inclined to shell out the very many thousands of dollars it would cost to replace the heating system. I haven't priced that, but I'm pretty sure it would cost somewhere between "way more than I can afford" and "most of what I make in a year".
Sounds to me like they just told a lot of people they need to replace an expensive and vital part of their homes within only 3 years. I shudder to think how much it would cost to replace the heart of my central heating system, or how pissed off I'd be if some bureaucrat told me I didn't have any choice in that matter. Especially since it's so much cheaper than electric would be.
They have such a surplus that they have to pay other States to take it, but somehow Californians pay 50% more than everyone else? How does that make sense? If supply is that much higher than demand, Californians should be paying next to nothing! How did they break a market so badly?
The first few who resist get slaughtered, there's public outrage and the remainder band together to form militias and fight back in a semi-organized fashion. Unless somehow the government manages to seize every gun in one night.
Waco and Ruby Ridge triggered a lot of militia activity.
Nineteen, with one kid and another on the way? Is there no end to his stupidity? Well, yeah, he's dead because of it, but it's not like he had much of a future ahead of him. Lots of poverty and sadness narrowly avoided by death.
If this was an attack on the Ukraine, it was almost certainly launched by Russia, who would not want Kaspersky to reveal that it was an attack. Yet they have. So I'm guessing that the DoJ investigation isn't going to find that Kaspersky is working for Russia. Except for selling them software.
To a point. The demand curve takes much longer to move in response to higher wages than the supply curve, so businesses can only raise prices a little bit before losing customers.
When Seattle raised the minimum wage to $11/hr, hours weren't cut (or at least net wages stayed the same). $13 was clearly too much.
You can't will away economics. The relationship between supply, demand and price is unavoidable fact. If you raise the price of labor, less will be demanded. There's some wiggle room because businesses can pass some costs on to consumers by raising prices (the supply curve moves to the right), but not much if they don't want to drive away customers.
No, they're making $125/month less. If I recall, when the minimum went to $11/hr, hours weren't cut so they made a little more. If I'm wrong, then that was where hours were cut a little but it did balance out.

either. And that's the only reason I have or have ever had an iPhone - my company 'issues them.
Reevaluate Outlook? Why? It's the industry standard in just about every industry there is... Oh, wait. Have I misunderstood your point?

Called a friend apparently. So what I'd like to know is why prisons can't block cell phones. Or intercept them with one of those stinger thingies.
Why does CNN get to "conditionally" respect his request? Why should we accept a news outlet silencing someone with a threat of harm?
This may be worse, CNN's first statement was that they wouldn't expose him because he would probably come to physical harm.
Worse, they stated that exposing him would probably result in violence against him. Then they said they would expose him if he didn't shut up. Thus, "Shut up or we'll hurt you".

And I'm way South of Norway. Norway is cold.
You sound like the British Parliament circa 1775. They were incorrect.

It's such a great painkiller that you can't even feel someone else's! I see the basis for a new marketing campaign.

Most restaurants fail within six months or so. I think it usually takes about two to start being profitable.

I guess pets and their owners do start to look alike...
Southern Sheriffs earn their reputation for being corrupt thugs, but I don't know if Babb is one of those or not.
