I can't agree with you more!!!! Does your company not have mandatory Japanese-inspired stretching/calisthenics sessions at the start of the shift? Ours does and I typically just stand there staring at them like the retarded apes they are. If I wanted to exercise then I'd go exercise.
I don't think it is unrealistic, the guy I replied to did. That's why it needs to happen no matter the hurt. Rip that band aid off already! Bitzstream's response though is quite correct. The insurance leeches have to be dealt with. The only "voluntary" way to get them to comply is buy them off. Looks like ACA might be just that but it is still better than what we had.
No need to kid. I believe it is time to nationalize the healthcare system, no matter how realistic that may or may not be. I think we could just shovel money from the back of a pickup truck burning whale oil and still come out cheaper.
Fear not (though if anybody is actually reading this you'll get a 100 "don't do it" responses). Isobutane also known as r600 is available in many blends but it keeps getting harder to find since a flammable refrigerant is illegal in the US. This is the brand I use.
They aren't even hiding the costs anymore. I got a bill today for $201 for a cloth arm sling! That thing cost a Chinese dude less than a dollar to make. What a racket!
I don't agree with that dude at all but your last sentence caught my eye:
The easy answers are usually not the right ones
I think Mr. Ockham would like to have a word with you!
It states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove correct, but—in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better.
Well if you two are going to break your arguments down to such a caveman-like level of understanding, let me end this argument for you:
Water makes things grow (like water out the toilet). Poisons kill things therefore making them shrink. I don't want my tumor to grow, I want it to shrink so please give me the poison. Also, I like money. You like money too? We should hang out.
You've repeated this multiple times in this story. Why does that matter? If something is only receiving then it cannot, by definition, transmit anything to the systems down the chain. Your MP3 player is not going to crash your car. Sorry you hate Tesla so much.
Are you insinuating that I am not a trained professional who has spent years learning how to use my equipment in an efficient way that doesn't interfere with my driving?
I know it's a joke, but you aren't that far off. This Mercedes 230SLK I've been working on does have a steering wheel calibration procedure which involves putting the key in 'run' and then turning the wheel fully left and then fully right. You may have to do it multiple times. It also has a procedure for the power windows, the throttle by wire, and the convertible top. All of these, it appears, calibrate the limits on the servo motors as they don't have limit switches.
It's someone you pay to have them tell you want to hear right? My dad used to visit one weekly when I was a kid. He's a very smart guy and it showed when he got back home. He always seemed enlightened afterwards. And man those ladies were pretty! He was a stingy guy though. He never would let me go hang out with the postulates and he didn't want us to talk about them when mom was around. All in all though I couldn't have asked for a better childhood.
It does too, you idiot! It adds exactly the amount to the streets that the seller sold! Sounds like the Baltimore education system failed you! I know what you're getting at though and you're still wrong. If, for whatever reason, a bag of Baltimore weed you sold me kills me when I smoke it then all you know is a bag of Baltimore weed killed me when I smoked it and you sold it to me. That does indeed make you legally culpable and prosecutable. You can't say that if I had bought anyone else's weed it still would have killed me. All that we know right now, is the weed you sold me killed me. The whole problem we're arguing over is that it was the COPS that "sold me a bag that killed me" and therefore they won't be legally culpable and certainly won't get prosecuted for it. Selling "weed" isn't their job so they shouldn't be doing it. That is the immorality LGW was talking about and this may be the only thing (s)he and I will ever agree on: WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT!
When I responded to you above, I just thought you were being an asshole. Now I come to realize that you actually believe the BS you're spouting off. Firstly, don't accuse someone with not thinking rationally when you, yourself, can't do the same. I already told you, you cannot say with certainty that this guy will kill that guy no matter what I do. You CAN say that because that guy killed this guy with a gun you gave him, you helped him do it. Don't believe me? I can't possibly post all of the case law that hinges on this very notion. You are just wrong and can't admit it. Care to quadruple down and try again?
You have zero evidence that those gangbangers would have gotten another gun. It's statistically likely, sure, but you cannot say with any certainty that it was gonna happen. However, if you do find someone who was murdered by a gov provided gun, then you can say with 100% certainty that law enforcement are accessories to murder because they knew what they were doing when they provided those weapons. They certainly understood the risks and consequences of giving gang members operational military-grade weaponry. They didn't seem too concerned about it. You don't seem too concerned a few poor brown people got killed with our help. qbast's response was on target.
"Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
So many in this country constantly complain and yearn for the ideals of "the Good Old Days" You'll still hear people screaming "Don't Tread On Me" and yet they get awfully quiet when you point out another one of those American-dream ideals. If the Gitmo guys are guilty, then they can live in prison. If they're innocent we SHOULD fix our fuck up. We've ruined their lives. They can stay here if "home" doesn't want them and if they are too jaded by our actions towards them (and I would be personally) then we'll have to figure something out as those cases arise.

When did the Amish start using the Internet?
Thanks for your insight, Dr. Cooper. How's that String Theory working out for you?
I, for one, welcome our 4-armed, 8ft tall, green babes!

NDT speaking in Patrick Stewart's voice is PROOF paranormal activities are real! Also, it would be HILARIOUS!!1 :D

Ask me how I know you don't have kids who incessantly and addictively play Minecraft all day! :D

Bad troll! You assume everyone is innocent. Being a cop yourself, Rosco, I can't even believe you'd assume such a preposterous idea! COO COO COOOO!

Wonderful response. Well thought out and reasoned. 0/10.
