  1. this guy is an idiot and apparently doesn't understand math. Im only talking about the things he posted himself

    * 3 percent of hourly workers earning minimum wage (or 1.7 percent of the total work force) are under the age of 25.

    then says

    So, as it turns out, the vast majority of minimum wage earners are indeed quite young,

    I never knew that 3 percent was VAST MAJORITY. or is he bad at math? please help me

  2. whos fault is that? not mine. I came from nothing and made something out of myself. others can too.

    That's incorrect. I've been poor.and every poor person I have ever known has had an ID, and if they didn't they tried to get one as soon as possible, and if you don't have the money the state will pay for it and numerous non profit organizations will also. So the fact that you have never been asked for ID for your prescriptions is either false, or someone was breaking the law. You may live in a very small town, but in that case I doubt an ID law would matter if you knew everybody. So please tell me more about requiring an ID for something like voting, is any different than requiring ID for driving or owning things or EVERY DAY life in the USA.

  9. That's horrifying. Is that not the #1 job of any nation. To look after and protect not only the health but the value of life for their citizens? That my number one gripe with the "social justice" type and the government its self. They worry more about people that need help on the other side of the planet than in their own back yard. Pathetic.

    You're not allowed to say that here. It's racist and anti-American to say "we need to put the American citizens before all others" why, I don't understand but I know I've been mod slammed in the past for saying it.

    You have a good point there. The cable installers aren't tradesmen and they normally are paid piece work which is shitty pay unless you're fast. But he was talking a tradesman electrician to be exact. And that is where my comment came in. Any time I've had cable "installed" in a place I live I tell them make it live at the D-Mark and I will do the rest. They spew some shit about how any work inside the house afterwards will be a service charge and I tell them they will never be asked to service wires inside the house. And half the time I have had to re terminate the end they put on coming from the street as they are like I said normally sub-par.

    The right tools as in what? I'm an electrician and have done residential and commercial. In a house it doesn't take many tools to run a wire. And if there was no way to access the wall from in the attic that means there has to be atleast 2 holes cut in drywall to get down a wall. I don't like when people indiscriminately talk bad about tradesmen when chances are they don't know what the job takes.

    That's awesome, I don't have the patience or skills to grow plants with good enough quality to be worth smoking to me and my wife. But what i pay for the quality is more than worth the money so I don't mind at all. I could never do the winters up there. I was born in Milwaukee and moved to Vegas when I was a kid with my dad. Although if I did grow it would give me more money for computers. Glad you enjoy growing though, Seems like a good sport. Stoner Life! As far as being decriminalized its been a small ticket for anything under an ounce here for a few years now, 7 or 8 I believe. I still try to avoid cops at all cost being a felon and all. So I'm very careful no matter what. I do have some good seeds though that i may attempt to grow one day. But as far as the law is out here as I understand it its still not legal to grow your own. But it is legal to give it away.

    So you're saying that cloud backup uses no electricity and never goes offline? We will leave security out of it for now. So price I paid for the computer = 0, amount of electricity used = very minimal as its headless and not used by others, reliability = great, havent had a problem with it yet. but i have a ton of old shit in bins if something was to happen which most was also free.
