" an aborted plot by the Iraqis to pull off something in Bowling Green...."
This is your lie, don't try to bounce anything as "provable" when you can't even quote the "something" in your lies. The "plot" in Bowling Green was to send equipment back to Iraq. At no point did they plan to "plot" anything IN the U.S..they were guilty of shipping. The rate you idiots spew information like everything is a "conspiracy" and make up theories on the fly is alarming.
That is one fourth of a year. An entire quarter's earnings could be squashed in that time, affecting year-end dividends and That tax base grossly affected to the point of suffering, yes.
It was everything. The whole campaign really. It was the acceptance of it all and the pussy grabbing acceptance was the final straw. The WM was a simple message: "No."
I missed it..when did things change an EVERY job available became one where you were supposed to make a living from and have a career?
I mean, when did burger flipping become a "real job" instead of something teens did in high school?
I agree...not every job out there is designed to become a persons sole source of income, but they do. I think near the end of Bush Jr's reign after he demolished the economy....anything is better than nothing was the feeling then and it's simply carried into today's survival guide. I imagine many are unskilled or displaced worker (but can drive and navigate...something i cannot really expect a burger flipper to perform) while lacking the funds to get themselves the skills that could catapult them into a real career.
The demand is high at least to make the income sustainable income...people need rides and they're tired of the high prices from unionized monopolies. The 'as a side job' mentality for Uber drivers was so they could compete at all against those monopolies still trying to remove Uber, Lyft, and anything that breaks into their territory. The alternative was to keep folks (uber drivers) unemployed and draining valuable resources.
The take away I got from this story is simply that Uber drivers are acting safely by not driving while sleepy which can be as bad as a drunk driver. That they don't/can't afford to expense a hotel because their commute is long sounds like a whine.
When Trump will be president, refusal to fall in line and mouth the slurs that have been prepared for you to utter without thinking will be proof that you are a racist and don't deserve to have rights.
That's not how it works. That's not how any of it works. You really can't see it, can you?
I think that media at large (including biased, seemingly non biased, and established mainstream) have a problem with credibility because of bad editing habits. The headlines are designed to sell. This makes for a bad reading experience. Even SlashDot has been guilty of that, and of course harshly reprimanded when ti does. If news organizations want to be considered credible, they need to strive for their chosen profession's excellence standards, not use it to just lash out. (use the news force, Luke!). Some editors do a good job, most don't unfortunately (imho)
For the biased media outlets, I see a large part of the problem as it seems there an additional need just to get even exposure by using a 'fight fire with fire' mentality. i.e., "if the other side (alt-right) puts out fake news, then we have to just to be heard" sort of thing. It's wrong, of course, and suspicions rise from everywhere wondering if those are plants as well, or used to sway the unknowing or think it's funny because of the reactions they get. Didn't we call them 'trolling' articles before?
Snopes has been used a lot by both sides to denounce the other side's articles, which can explain their increased traffic more than complaining people are not fact-checking. "Who's facts are the real facts?" becomes an e-discovery in itself beyond the story you're trying to fact check. Complaining there are not enough news people (fact checkers, editing, etc) seems to be a cop-out for me. Then get better. Every industry deserves more support personnel and sometimes you have to wear two hats (like devops). Learn. Expand that knowledge of your profession. No one else will. The empty spots are a warning sign to a changing industry (from paper to ethernet). Adapt to survive....or change careers.
Curious what the banks charge the shopkeeper in Sweden v the US. 2% is only $2 for $100 in sales,but $2,000 for an annual $100,000 in sales and 2% is considered low.
With any luck, that decision (corporations are people instead of a group of people) will be reversed. A group of people individualizing the group is nothing more than a bullying tactic over ungrouped people.
There's no time to replace them. Hours are very strict when it comes to IT work; and probably residential requirements as well. You pay a huge fine when you require outside of regulated business hours.
I'm curious what programs that were 'critical' other than payroll. Most of the hype surrounding the y2k bug was whether mechanics would just stop. Other than reports, nothing happened. Elevators, shipyards, medical equipment, and toasters were all safe.
In the early 90's I worked on equipment that was manufactured in the 70's. Electronics were expected to last 20 years then because they were designed for that. But it was expensive. As cheaper metals were used for electronics, driving down their cost, so did their life expectancy.
The 286 prices dropped dramatically as the 386 and 486 models came out. People gravitated towards compatibility with the new software that tried to keep some backward compatibility then, too. That said, vocational schools were popular as they used business' hand me downs (8086's).
Because automation is cheaper than third-world wages. The crux is the need for them to be engineers, too so the automation doesn't break. Knowledge will always be the power.
It's the typical point and dodge tactic. Blame something else for what you don't like. There was a floating argument that there was a spike in attacks on police and it was allegedly due to the increase in police surveillance, however statistics actually a decrease in attacks on police (possibly because they acted nicer? hmm). Now there is a spike in crime ('tis the season) and agents are trying to portray the innocent bystander as the culprit. I call BS on the "strong sense". I blame training (evangelized fear) on why police officers are "staying in their cars".

I don't think Wu would be that interested in Dick.
Except that transsexuals that were heterosexual are usually heterosexual after transitioning. So most likely she's available for you.

PCs are so cheap, we give them away as presents.

A church fire is a minor event???
I feel like Finn when it comes to this age old debate.
I think i remember that altoid guy!
This works in a country the size of California, but not likely for the larger ones.

I wish i had mod points.

I usually have 3 drinks on the flight if i see a screen and recognize the underlying OS (Windows anything).
In the early 90's I worked on equipment that was manufactured in the 70's. Electronics were expected to last 20 years then because they were designed for that. But it was expensive. As cheaper metals were used for electronics, driving down their cost, so did their life expectancy.
And even that was down a couple of versions. The 80486 being released in 89.
The 286 prices dropped dramatically as the 386 and 486 models came out. People gravitated towards compatibility with the new software that tried to keep some backward compatibility then, too. That said, vocational schools were popular as they used business' hand me downs (8086's).

The subject of this post pretty much sums it up.

I wish i had points, i'd vote you up.
