Sanders might make a good President, but he has to make it through that whole "election" thing first, which won't happen unless somebody makes him comb his hair.
There's a few. Gore, for starters. I don't know who's pressuring him to stay out, but their last name is probably Clinton.
Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand. I suspect there's some degree of women being less competitive and wanting to support each other going on there, and they don't want to rock the Hillary boat.
CO Gov. Hickenlooper. Low name recognition, but that's just a financial hurdle. Not sure he's gregarious or bombastic enough to get elected for the top spot though.
Yeah, there's always somebody who comes in and obliquely references a Daily Show (or John Oliver, in this case) story as their own particular insight. Good work.
They're part of the trend in mens watches that say 'I need to assert my masculinity by showing that I can lug a big lump of metal around on my wrist all day'.
It's probably more of a women respond to displays of wealth trend. They really do. The good news is that it's a lot easier to change your socioeconomic status than your physical features.
I don't think they've even taken any of the air out of swiss watches, since the markets don't overlap, and people who can afford Swiss watches aren't exhausting their fashion budget with the 3 digit price tags of most wearables. Likely sales are simply down for whatever reason (poor marketing or design), and the CEO is just blaming someone other than themselves.
It's called rationalizing, and anyone can do it. First, do whatever you want. Next, come up with a justification. As long as you act first and justify second, you're doing it right! Under no circumstances should you reverse the order of operations, you you may end up actually behaving ethically.
I literally took a pair of snips and cut the cord, but then my internet stopped working almost immediately. I think Comcast did this as a putative measure, but I'm not sure how to prove it.
Recovering angry e-mailer here. I used to do this all the time, particularly when I got upset at a loved one. It's easier for me to organize and lay out my thoughts coherently in writing than verbally. Unfortunately, I've often done more damage than good by hitting send, but I have a patient and loving GF who has, over time, convinced me NOT to hit Send, and just read them to her in person. That's given me the instant feedback they talk about in the article, and I can tell when I've gone too far, or when something I've said has been misinterpreted. And of course, I can omit things that I would never say to her face, because I recognize that they're just person attacks that are hurtful and harmful.
I hate admitting when I'm wrong, but I forwarded this article to her so she could feel vindicated by science. She deserves it.
Anyway, enough sincerity.. how 'bout them local sports teams?
People keep saying "273 feet in altitude," but that's not accurate. It's 273 feet in elevation above the point of takeoff, not altitude.
For posterity, I located what appears to be the street, Earlywood Way in Hillview, KY, and compared the point of takeoff in the video to the point of the shooting.
This link shows the view from the point of takeoff, in the foreground, to the point of the shooting, in the neighborhood in the background, and while it's difficult to estimate the elevation, he is clearly flying uphill. It's hard to say how much the terrain slopes without a topo map, but we can definitely say that he was *not* a full 273 feet above the house where the shooting occurred.
Seriously? Presidents have nearly unchecked control over the entire executive branch. For the record, that includes the following agencies:
Department of Agriculture Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Education Department of Energy Department of Health and Human Services Department of Homeland Security Department of Housing and Urban Development Department of the Interior Department of Justice Department of Labor Department of State Department of Transportation Department of the Treasury Department of Veterans Affairs
The President has more influence over foreign policy than anyone, and that's an enormous amount of authority. It's like your mom having control over who you visit, talk to, date, marry, or kill. Kissing babies is to keep up the appearance, real or perceived, of being human; it has nothing to do with the role of the executive.
Withholdings, particularly over-withholdings, are terrible on so many levels. First, the government gets an interest-free loan. Second, that money is unavailable to you to use during the year, when you might actually need it, or at least could invest it, or spend it. Third, it makes people less cognizant of their taxes because they never "see" their gross earnings except on paper, just their net pay. Fourth, refunds feel like free money, which decreases what might otherwise be angst over forking over money.
Does it increase compliance? Of course. But compelling action from law-abiding people is the antithesis of freedom. The only time action should be compelled is in when someone's life or health is at stake, or when someone has broken a law.
And I say this as someone who fully supports levying taxes, not some nutcase who thinks we can have a first-world society without taxes and social services. But there needs to be a pain point to give people a closer connection to what they're paying for, to demand accountability, and to reduce apathy. Writing a check for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars creates that pain point. You're parting with something. Withholdings remove that pain point, because it was never really in your possession.
The things we eat are things that we have discovered -- pretty much through fatal trial and error -- do not kill us, not things that are inherently good for us. There line between healthy vs. unhealthy is not the same line as naturally occurring vs. genetically modified or bred. A lot of people may wish that it were, because that's simple and easy, but wishing doesn't make it so.
Here is a not-at-all exhaustive list of naturally growing things that you should not eat:
Mature Asparagus - The berries of the mature plant are poisonous, containing furostanol and spirostanol saponins. Rapid ingestion of more than five to seven ripe berries can induce abdominal pain and vomiting.
Amanita Phalloides - Commonly known as the death cap, the fungus is highly toxic, and the toxicity is not reduced by cooking, freezing, or drying.
Jequirity - The attractive seeds (usually about the size of a ladybug, glossy red with one black dot) contain abrin, a ribosome-inactivating protein related to ricin, and very potent. Symptoms of poisoning include nausea, vomiting, convulsions, liver failure, and death, usually after several days.
White Baneberry - All parts are poisonous, especially the berries, the consumption of which has a sedative effect on cardiac muscle tissue and can cause cardiac arrest.
Sabi Star - The toxic sap of its roots and stems is used as arrow poison for hunting large game.
Honestly, just getting nutrition without getting acutely poisoned is a huge accomplishment in itself. Achieving optimal nutrition is a nice-to-have, but there's a point of diminishing returns once you've achieved sufficient nutrition, which, fortunately, we've done in first-world countries.
It's IP law, not property law. If you photograph the book that I've written from your house, that doesn't give you the right to publish it and sell it.
And you could make a great argument against IP laws -- there are many to be made -- but this has nothing to do with property rights.
Strawberries too. 100% of strawberries are from grafted hybrids.
Corporations do some crazy things in the name of profit, but GM food is not particularly crazy or malevolent. It's pretty awesome, actually. Unfortunately, the ill-defined "natural foods" trend -- really just another form of superstition -- is all the rage among a well-meaning but (sometimes willfully) uninformed population of mommies, hipsters, and, by extension, their households.

Not the OP, but subjective labels like "evil" are useless at best, and maybe even evil at worst. ;)
Damn you and your fancy-pants reading comprehension!

Yes, but the surface area means it will evaporate much more quickly.

Fossil isn't Swiss, so I'm not sure he's even talking about his own products.

They're common on the east coast where everyone still dresses in 1960's business attire or gets shunned. Old money vs. new money.
Unopened Apple watches will probably go back up above sale price in a few decades. Especially if they stop making them. :)

I suspect your last sentence is spot-on, but I was speaking more about the role of "Socrates," not the person.

Well? Don't keep us in suspense!
It doesn't have to be an annual due date; it could just as well be monthly, or quarterly, as it is for businesses.
