    $20 billion in sales equals how much profit after expense?

  2. I asked for more as well and it is under review. Working for a non-profit and not making what I could. They need to approach what I could make, not asking for exact parity, but they need to work to retain me. I believe in our mission but mortgages and food arenâ(TM)t free.

    Housing is one reason and they are making it even more expensive now.

    I have xfinity and remarkably with gigabit service I still had poor streaming quality randomly.

  8. I guess they think everyone will play nice? on It's the Beginning of the End of Satellite TV in the US (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I tried dropping traditional TV and at the same time I upgraded to a gigabit line. I could make sure no other devices in the house where connecting to the Internet or each other, shut most everything down, and yet... I still got poor streaming quality at random intervals. I called and talked to my benevolent provider and they suggested that, in my sparsely populated area, that there was interference. The closest neighbors, over 150 feet away, are using the default channels on their company provided routers, while I used a WiFi analyzer to select my channel for my own personally purchased WiFi router based on it being the quietest. We will ignore every speed test that showed me getting nearly 970 megabit per second throughput to wired devices and 640 megabits to wireless devices that were run 802.11AC. The interference apparently only struck while watching Netflix, Hulu and Sling and never while I worked with them... Fucking liars were throttling and wouldn't admit it. A mostly empty gigabit line couldn't stream HD quality from Netflix consistently. Things have improved now that I have TV service again, and they gave me a hell of a deal to come back. Huh...

  15. Nevermind that it has brought prosperity on Fewer Than Half of Young Americans Are Positive About Capitalism (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The Soviet Union failed at that. Yes it was Communism but they aren't too different. Even in socialist countries today you still have the haves and the have nots. People fail to believe that society stratifies on its own and not by the will of some uber ultra elite. There are those that will work to the bone to secure their lives and there are those that will complain that the man holds them down, even when the man is the only thing propping them up.

    I think that it is fanciful thinking that people had previous lives they remember. I think a lot of what we call "instinct" are "memories" imprinted in our DNA.

    No, I've conjectured that what is called "instinct" in many species, is imprinted "memories" passed on genetically. Take you pious self and go suck your own dick.

    I wasn't trying to, my phrasing may have been inelegant but I've often thought that our "instinct" and behavior based off it it was from using the "memories" coded in to our genetics. You can go fuck yourself though.

    Trying to figure out why several posts from today are gone. No, it wasn't my intention to claim as such. I believe that people take these "memories" that aren't actually memories, and build something around them. I've believed that behavior and instinct are imprinted "memories".
