Let's not forget that one of the original Mercury 7 (Deke Slayton) was grounded for a heart murmer and never flew a Mercury mission. The other original 7 were Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard. Only 6 flights were made in Project Mercury.
Considering that the Apollo astronauts had a higher than normal risk of cardiovascular disease, leaving the protection of the earth's magnetosphere kind of f*cks you over.
So make them also watch Sandlers "Jack and Jill." This is one "comedy movie" that doesn't even try to be comedy. Even the fart jokes wouldn't get a laugh from the kids, and letting young children watch it will scar them for life. Rotten Tomatoes rates it as 50% better than The Cobbler - but a rating of 3% instead of 2% says it all.
In this case it turns out that they did do an assignment in bankrupcy, so the bankruptcy approved the disposition of the assets clear of the liabilities. Without that, you don't get to just dispose of the assets to a 3rd party and leave everyone in the lurch - the people left in the lurch also have a legal claim to those same assets, no matter whose hands they are found in.
Try giving away everything you own and then declaring bankruptcy. Any debtor can contest the bankruptcy at that point - one of my friends did exactly that - contested a bankruptcy and held it up for a year - and in the end the judge discharged the debtor of everything except the money owed my friend ($20k or so). You have to do the bankruptcy first, then obtain approval to dispose of the assets so as to make the best recovery possible for the creditors.
No, Uber is in court all over the place and having to iron out agreements with municipal and state governments, has been held to be an employer, and is facing class action lawsuits, while and Apple is facing several class action lawsuits over touch diseased iPhones spontaneously becoming i-Can't-Phones.
Cuba trains young physicians worldwide in its Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM). Since its inception in 1998, ELAM has graduated more than 20,000 doctors from over 123 countries. Currently, 11,000 young people from over 120 nations follow a career in medicine at the Cuban institution. According to Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the UN, ELAM is “the world’s most advanced medical school.” He also praised the Cuban doctors working around the world, including those in Haiti: “They are always the first to arrive and the last to leave. They remain in place after the crises. Cuba can be proud of its health care system, a model for many countries
On a bang for the buck basis, the US is the 3rd-world country.
I didn't argue that "the country was in danger of becoming a socialist" anything. Take a look around - the only country in the G7 that isn't socialist is the US. In the G8, the US has the dubious honor of sharing that spot with Russia.
BTW, a "prison with an excellent school and hospital" is far better than what many Americans experience.
In her first appearance as the House leader, Chagger seemed excited, repeating her commitments to open government and transparency but offering few answers on what she would specifically bring to the role.
Contrary to what you believe, the nuclear weapons were delivered. This was revealed at one point when the secrecy of the underground control site near Dorval Airport (entrance gained by a CTV technician I had gone to school with years before in a case of mistaken identity) as well as the barracks-cum-launcher silo on the south shore military base were compromised (guy flew through restricted airspace and got an eyeball on them when the "roof" was retracted during maintenance). The government has admitted Canada had nuclear weapons, though they didn't give real numbers, for obvious reasons.
The election of the Parti Quebecois made it pretty much urgent to remove all such weapons from politically sensitive areas "just in case."
And who determines who should be allowed to vote? Just look at the last election - the vast majority of voters voted for one of two candidates who should never have been in a position to run. Paradoxically, so far Trump has proven to be better for the economy than Clinton would have been. Those 50,000 jobs from China gotta count for something. He promised to do it, and he's doing it. Clinton, on the other hand, had NO economic policy. It was all "look at the scary orange orangutan." Oh wait, she did have an economic policy - 2 in fact - one for the public, and a private one when speaking to Wall Street and bankers.
And thus begins the consolidation of smart watch companies. We saw that Basis was killed off a few months ago by Intel. At least Intel was so kind as to offer full refunds for all of the watches.
It's more like "thus begins the end of smart watches, last one going down the swirly-swirly please give an extra courtesy flush, just to be sure."
A smartphone without a smartwatch is like a dog without a laptop.
If they purchased "substantially" all the company, they are still obliged. The only way out would be for Pebble to have declared bankruptcy BEFORE Fitbit bought the assets, same as GM did to shed its' pension liabilities. Guess they need someone to whack them in the head. If GM had to do it that way, you can be sure that some piss-ant business doesn't have enough clout with the courts to do otherwise. Just because it's tech doesn't mean that the laws don't apply to them, despite all the wishful thinking Uber ("we're not a taxi service") and Apple ("touch disease is not a manufacturing or design defect") want you to buy into.
Actually, the Diefenbaker Conservatives have prior claim - the destruction (literally) of the Avro Arrow (the most advanced fighter of the time) at the behest of the US government because the Bomarc nuclear SAM missiles would supposedly make the Avro obsolete (funny how we still need jet fighters and bombers more than half a century later, isn't it).
Also, when real estate is the largest part of your economy, you're in trouble. See what happened to the US with their bubble, or Toronto when their bubble collapsed decades earlier, with some properties losing 90% of their value. As housing prices rise, they suck capital from new buyers, reducing their ability to spend and stimulate other parts of the economy. Without those new buyers, resale prices cannot be supported, and without a resale market, the new homes market also falls. Housing should never exceed inflation, especially since buildings do deteriorate and have a limited economic life span without major work.
The average elector has the right to decide what form of government they live under. That's the whole purpose of elections. Also, historically, the best Canadian governments have been minority governments, specifically because, not having a majority, they need to be more inclusive to obtain enough support from other points of view if they wanted to stay in power. You clearly have no understanding of how politics works in Canada, or it's history.
Proportional representation, done right, will almost always produce a minority government that will have to take into account the various regions and groups that make up this country.
But to say that "the average Canadian either doesn't care enough to do the research or is too easily swayed by political propaganda to make effective decisions" is bullshit. English Quebecers voted for the Bloc Quebecois in large enough numbers to really fuck both the Bloc (who now as official opposition couldn't blame everything on the feds) and turf the Mulroney Conservatives from power.
And whenever the provincial liberal government has taken English votes for granted and ignored them, the English have helped vote the Parti Quebecois into power, to remind the Liberals not to ignore them if they want to hold office.
It's called strategic voting, instead of being sheeple. Maybe where you're from people just follow the party line, but don't paint everyone as being equally stupid and unsophisticated.
The real problem is that both "feminism" and "patriarchy" are in opposition to what people really want when they use the term "feminism" - equality. Real equality doesn't have or need quotas, or create privileges as a counter to other perceived privileges past or present, doesn't say "check your privilege at the door" as a passive-aggressive way to avoid real debate, doesn't need "safe spaces" that imply that women are too afraid to tell someone "fuck off" openly, so they need to vent with other weak-kneed sisters, and doesn't encourage people to hide in safe spaces rather than get off their fat asses and change things.
Kind of ironic that Trudeau came out with feminism as a central theme soon after 3rd-wave feminism died. Come on Justin, "Because it's 2015" was so 1999.

Wow, the troll actually contributes! Wonders will never cease!
No, you didn't. You never have. Stop being a moron, it gets old really, really fast.

John Glenn wasn't just "one of the Mercury astronauts." He was the first American to orbit the earth, as well as the last Mercury astronaut to die.
You're projecting again. Please take your own advice and see someone about that problem. Or continue in denial. No skin off anyone else's nose.

You are so full of shit when it comes to Cuban health care.

Not true. If the majority elect a thugocracy, that is a democratic choice that must be respected. Same as when the US elected a kleptocracy.
I didn't argue that "the country was in danger of becoming a socialist" anything. Take a look around - the only country in the G7 that isn't socialist is the US. In the G8, the US has the dubious honor of sharing that spot with Russia.

My Pebble Time Steel died Dec 4th. No wonder I was not getting any replies to my warranty support requests and emails.
I think that, in retrospect, you mis-spelled "Pebble Steal".
And thus begins the consolidation of smart watch companies. We saw that Basis was killed off a few months ago by Intel. At least Intel was so kind as to offer full refunds for all of the watches.

You've got it all wrong. It's an expensive piece of plastic junk. :-)

$6 a gallon is cheap compared to Quebec. Milk is about double the price of Ontario for a 4-liter bag.
It would be more impressive if his game also did email. Every program should grow until it can do email. Until then, it's incomplete :-)
