You want a big one? Go back to the day Bush inroduced the Ownership Society. Read the article about where that went. Those bankers didn't invent it all on their own, they had the President of the United States leading them there.
Leaders of many other countries have been happy to work with Obama. I think they could not allow their own electorate to see them working with Trump. He's already painted himself as the sort of politician Europe has suffered from. Like KaradžiÄ or Putin.
Yes, things got better under Obama. One need only look at employment figures. But for me personally, it's health care. I have a medical issue that has never, in 20 years, had a symptom but made me uninsurable under the old system unless I worked for a big company. I can own my own company and have health care now.
Oh yeah, about China and the South China Sea. My friend Bob Vallio is the person who starts World War III. You see, Bob did this on Scarborough Reef. I think the Chinese saw that an American had established a long-range radio base on one of "their" islands. Everything else came from that.
Have you really fallen for all of that Putin propaganda the US State Department has been feeding you?
I don't only read U.S. news sources. I also travel a lot. So, I was able to see that all the Europeans knew Bush would invade Iraq before the U.S. press was saying so. Etc.
What, you like Putin? That will take some explaining.
I have some things to say about Carly that didn't really get said because she wasn't ever a serious enough candidate. A few words got out on the Christian Science Monitor here. Sorry about the survey they put you through before you can read the article.
Of course not; the Republicans just wanted their votes because they needed them to get elected so they could rule for the rich.
What bothers me most is that the loyal conservative yet unrepresented lower and middle class heard the siren call of nationalism badly enough that they also made themselves gun fodder for the rich. The military is a most honorable profession, the people who send them places not always so much. About all we can really do is refuse to throw our children's bodies on the fire.
I'm hoping this election cycle results in the GOP splitting in two. The racists, fascists, and religious fundamentalists can be loaded into one party while the sane Republicans who don't mind working WITH people on the opposite side of the aisle to get things done can be in a second party. The Sane GOP can take their place as one of the two major parties while the "Crazy GOP" can provide us with a few laughs at their expense as they spiral into oblivion.
What you're really asking for is a return to 1974. That's when Nixon, in need of more Republican voters, took the party then best described as the "Country Club Republicans" and convinced the segregationist South to join them as a middle road between Democrats and George Wallace. The segregationist Southern Whites had previously voted Democratic. So, where they had Jessie Helms leading the segregationists then, it's Donald Trump now.
I don't know if the Country Club Republicans would be able to win anything on their own any longer. It's a bit more clear today that their interests aren't anyone else's. You would have to find some other brand of conservatism.
The folks with Parliamentary systems seem to be able to handle this better than we do.
That should be in past-tense for a significant portion of the population: You have watched. I assume you're comfortably ensconced in some other nation. Hopefully for your sake not one with a Putin or Berlisconi.
When George W. Bush got elected, I took a job at a University in Norway just so that I'd have a place to run. If by some mass brain flatulence Trump gets elected, I'll need to convince Elon Musk to send me first.
I wouldn't say "Huge". I'd say a %$%^$ nightmare. Except that it may have done some good in showing the Republican party and their deep-pocket funders like the Koch brothers where a race to the bottom eventually gets them.
Where does this take us? Trump is going to score well in conservative White districts, and Clinton (yes, I like Sanders, but he doesn't have the delegates) is going to score well enough to beat him with less conservative Whites and everyone else. I don't know if enough people would have voted for Clinton without someone who inspires people to vote against him like Trump. But even people who would in another situation never have voted for Clinton will cast votes against Trump. Clinton just got handed the White House. Game over.
What really troubles me is what happens after the election. 40 years of anti-intellectualism and pandering to prejudice and we got a significant part of the country voting for someone who really would not have been good for the country. The historical parallels are obvious. What do we do now?

Let's not forget that India and Pakistan were one nation until the Partition driven by the British. I think it's fair to say that India is a little of everything and always has been.
A coreographed gesture of contempt. We should have one with Canada and Mexico, it would make millions. If Trump got elected, he would make the Dutch pay for it:-)
Finding aliens and the Second Coming of Jesus: two things that are equally likely to happen in the future.
There is no theoretical objection to the prospect of finding extraterrestrial life, even if it is a needle-in-haystack sort of hunt. In contrast, the Jesus proposition requires an assumption that supernatural beings exist.

Well, I read your comment stating that you know exactly what double-insulated means, and maybe you do in your head but what you write isn't communicating that understanding to other people. Let's look at the two substantive comments which you wrote:
Go swap the wiring on a basic table/floor lamp with E27 socket, plug it in, and change the bulb (preferably with wet hands, while holding onto a faucet). Then get back to me.
You can do this at an old fuse panel too. But it doesn't really have anything to do with double-insulation, because an Edison fixture is not double-insulated, it does provide a clear method for the user to touch the hot wire by sticking their finger in an empty socket.
if you swap the two wires on a polarized plug ("double insulated"
If you want to use the definition best accepted in the electrical industry today, you need to comply with all of UL 1097, which unfortunately they don't want us to read online. But the less formal definition of double insulation is a device which does not provide any path for the user to touch anything connected to the hot wire even when hot and neutral are reversed, and thus does not require a ground connection to remove the potential for the user to be electrocuted by touching a metallic case which has become energized through damage or miswiring.
I am wary of communicating an erroneous understanding of electrical safety to Slashdot readers, or I would not have answered.
If you look at the TI chip for USB C power delivery, here, overcurrent and overvoltage protection is specified as a feature. This is not to say that I have first-hand data on how he blew his Pixel C or what chip Google used. I do notice, though, that Google is not offering a protection policy for Pixel C as they do for the phones sold in the Play store. I hope the design isn't problematical.
That might be because the design of the USB micro connector sucks. The major problem is that there isn't a detent. USB C has some sort of internal detent but I don't know how long it will survive in use.
There is reason to question a standard that has gone through 7 connector designs. And if you ever design a USB driver, you'll find out that the standard requires rather significant host complexity as a trade-off to allow dirt-cheap peripheral devices.
It works. It sure isn't pretty.
No, double-insulated is not referring to the plug being polarized. It refers to the device being designed to not be capable of shocking the user through a hot-to-ground connection. A double-insulated device does not need a ground pin and doesn't particularly care which conductor is hot and which is neutral.

One can't avoid the fact that I can say the things I do because people, including my dad, fought for that right.
All I wish for is leaders who choose the correct enemies.
Sorry about the character set. Slashdot doesn't seem to accept Unicode yet.

Are you sure you're not confusing Libertarian with Liberal?
Also, I don't believe that what we call "Neoliberal Economist" should even have the word "Liberal" in it.

The only reason for super delegates is that the parties are private clubs and make their own rules. Geez, even the Republicans don't have them.
I'd put super delegates after the electoral college on the list of insults to democracy. One person - one vote isn't a radical idea.
What bothers me most is that the loyal conservative yet unrepresented lower and middle class heard the siren call of nationalism badly enough that they also made themselves gun fodder for the rich.

It is only coincidental that they do it at Noon.
