Your "conscientious" rights don't include the right to put other kids who *can't* get immunized at risk (or adults who weren't immunized as kids). If you want to conscientiously object to getting your kid immunized, then a school should have the right to conscientiously refuse to admit your kid. Create a special conscientious school or something and keep the fuck away from the rest of us.
Before an artist signs they're usually a nobody who is looking at a future of singing in shitty bars and clubs for a living. It's the major studio that turns them into a star, and, as such, they get a BIG cut of the $ for it. Seems fair to me.
"You can sign with us and we'll do your PR, get you professional studio time, get you played on every venue, get you on talk shows, etc. And for that we take 90% of the money, but the 10% you get will still make you into a multimillionaire. OR, alternatively, you can keep playing in this shitty dive bar for peanuts and attempting to promote yourself on Youtube along with a million other wannabes."
Not a lot of choice there, or any leverage to negotiate (unless you have already achieved some level of fame beforehand).
But they do still contain Placebo, right? Because that's what my doctor advised me to take, and it's made my health much better since I started taking it.
And I will join your allied fight against Grammar National Socialism by conducting a concurrent invasion of the beaches of literature and retaking ground from the fascists who mistakenly think that it is grammatically incorrect to begin sentences with conjunctions. And we will win this fight!
That's funny, because every online dictionary I consulted said that it was grammatically correct to use "comprise" as a synonym for "compose." In fact Merriam Webster has this to say:
Sense 3 : compose, constitute
Usage Discussion of COMPRISE Although it has been in use since the late 18th century, sense 3 is still attacked as wrong. Why it has been singled out is not clear, but until comparatively recent times it was found chiefly in scientific or technical writing rather than belles lettres. Our current evidence shows a slight shift in usage: sense 3 is somewhat more frequent in recent literary use than the earlier senses. You should be aware, however, that if you use sense 3 you may be subject to criticism for doing so, and you may want to choose a safer synonym such as compose or make up.
You know, I think in the future, municipalities might want to get in on this too. A radical idea for the more distant future might be to create a community-supported, super-large Uber-type vehicle that travels regularly on known routes, picking up multiple passengers along the way (charging each passenger a small set fee). Maybe even set up a central hub for these "Super Ubers" so they could transfer between vehicles to reach a specific destination. Something like that would probably take a long time to implement, but we're looking at the long-term future here. And with today's technology, I think it's possible.
Yes, because I'm sure there are lots of colleges and universities out there are telling girls that they can't be programmers, and throwing them out of the CS program the second they're discovered to possess vaginas. The administration probably threatens them away with a stick or something.
its to be expected. Sitting through 20 minutes of mandatory trailer before my bluray starts actually playing the movie i paid for is nothing short of a war crime.
That's in addition to the increasingly intrusive product placement scattered in every single frame of a blockbuster movie these days. It got so bad in the last shitty James Bond movie I watched that I spend the first twenty minutes just counting all the Sony and Ericsson logos. By the point where they started showing products that didn't even actually exist yet, I decided to send Bond back to England and my disc back to Netflix. Now I avoid blockbusters like the plague.
I wonder if the Sputnik launch was accompanied by snarky headline "Soviet News Agency Claims to Have Launched Satellite (that's what they CLAIM, wink, wink)"
But this brick is little more than a high tech swap cooler already used in homes in dry climates for years and years before AC was even invented. It would seem that the only magicsl thing about this is it would be vertical instead of horizontal. It still needs water and it still works off the evaporative cooling effect.
Yeah, but this one is *3D PRINTED*! That makes this version much cooler.
I understand there was also a 90% decline in customers wearing Che Guevara t-shirts, impromptu poetry slams, the overheard phrase "I don't even *OWN* a TV", and ironic mustaches. Conversely, the percentage of employed customers who actually tip is way up.
South Korea has been light years ahead of the U.S. for over a DECADE now. Those guys get some mad crazy speeds on the cheap (mostly used to play Lineage, I gather).
They won't until there's a TV show or movie to tie it in to.
Yeah, sadly, that's pretty much all they do now. I'm pretty sure this was something the Discovery execs forced on them (along with shitcanning the junior mythbusters). Mythbusters is one of the few shows still left on that channel where hillbillies don't fake a bunch of drama while fishing, goldmining, or moonshining. Once Discovery finally strips it of everything that made it great and drives it off the air, the execs will have another free camera crew to send to Alaska with instructions to "try to make it look real" as they stage faux redneck drama.

The best argument I've ever heard against it is, "Well, it saves a few drops of ink on the printed page."
And yet you place the period inside the quotation marks. Foolish American!

what happens when oxford announces that "comprised of" now also means "made up of" ?
They already have.

an amoral sleaze
While it's true that Steve Jobs was involved in this, I'm not sure it's fair to blame him entirely.
Unless the lander is being built in your Congressional district.
Yes, because I'm sure there are lots of colleges and universities out there are telling girls that they can't be programmers, and throwing them out of the CS program the second they're discovered to possess vaginas. The administration probably threatens them away with a stick or something.
Geez, can't any of you people LISTEN??

"Good news!" said Sony Music
"Oh shit" said Sony Motion Pictures.

Ask them what they willing to actually SACRIFICE to fix it and I bet you'll get a very different answer.

Nonsense, they're just following the most basic of mathmatical formulas:
Money > Ethics
Nuclear waste disposal isn't an engineering problem, it's a social and political problem.
That may have once been true, but now even relatively sparsely populated countries in Europe (like Iceland) are getting faster speeds.
South Korea has been light years ahead of the U.S. for over a DECADE now. Those guys get some mad crazy speeds on the cheap (mostly used to play Lineage, I gather).
Yeah, I guess in the USA, holding someone at gun- or knife-point and demanding their wallet counts as non-violent.
In Detroit, they call it "Thursday"
They won't until there's a TV show or movie to tie it in to.
