We've had those divisions in the past, certainly, but in the *recent* decades they were not daily front page news like they are today. Everything now is muh victimhood and hate, even on small levels. People don't even feel relevant today if they can't find something to be victimized by, or point someone else out doing purported victimizing. Those are the ones going into a frenzy with riots and protests in the streets, burning cars, attacking people, and damaging businesses, and I'm looking at other groups besides just BLM.
Making a tough business deal, and outright nuking tens of thousands or millions of people are two very different things, and Trump knows that. As should you. It is hyperbole. This great division began during the last administration, notably with Mike Brown and the BLM movement. It's snowballed from there with the vast majority of the democrat entrenched media backing Hillary and being pissed off that she lost the election, thus, the "resistance".
Note that the article didn't say all houses for teachers and cops, it specifically stated those houses with a "water view": IOW, primo real estate. If I were a teacher or cop, I don't think that I'd expect to be able to afford prime waterfront real estate, those are traditionally middle class paying jobs.
he wanted to extricate America from as much of the rest of the world as possible
That's profoundly false. He wants trade deals that are more fair for the US. That is not isolationism. Yes, he'd like to see fewer jobs moved overseas and see a return to manufacturing jobs here domestically, but so has every politician from every political persuasion, for decades. Now that Trump wants that, it's bad?
Except a lot of criminals either have no real jobs or won't pay taxes. When's the last a drug dealer paid taxes on his business dealings, or the mob didn't cook the crap out of their books?
But you believe: 1) The left doesn't do the same thing, x10. 2) Most of the paid protesters for leftist activities engaged in normal protesting methods, just for cash and giggles.
WaPO and Salon don't exactly espouse neutral ideals. Might as well cite stormfront for as objective as they are.
I've seen an awful lot of photos where many protestors are smiling and laughing, it's just a gig to them, there's no real outrage there. They either just want "to be part of history", engage in a protest like their parents once did, or, they're just paid shills, by either Russia or Soros. It's is not a right wing thing to protest in the streets in general, the confederate war monuments recently excluded. If Russia benefits, it's by making this country more divisive, and everyone screaming victimhood and flinging accusations of hate and privilege everywhere pushes that agenda right along. The country is more divided than it has been in decades, but it started before Trump.
Believe me, I want to. However, my wife is, to be quite frank, a luddite, and very antagonistic to the idea of streaming and the additional complexities involved. She's slowly coming around though, as more people we talk to relate how happy they are that they did, and I explained that even "normal" cable TV is digital now.
Same here. There are no other options. And I'm not even interested in about 75% of their programming; at least half of their total programming alone is some form of pointless reality TV (Food Wars; House Flipping, the Kardashians, River Monsters), BS "science" shows (Ancient Aliens, various crytozoology shows, etc.) and sports channels.
It's hardly worthwhile to try to terraform Mars anyway, it's core is dead -no electromagnetic field. The solar wind would strip away whatever atmosphere we created. I don't see how we could generate a magnetic field that large artificially. I think I recall seeing a proposal but it seemed pretty pie in the sky.
It's not that different, but that's the problem. Wills are legal documents. Legally, the Will was supposed to have been signed by two witnesses for verification in that jurisdiction. I believe that was alluded to in the summary. In some jurisdictions, a notary is even required, or preferred, though that's not as common. I'm not sure how spontaneous most suicides are, but people usually ponder it for some time; he could have had time to type up a proper letter, I would think, and have it on his person. Or maybe he got sudden info that his wife cheated on him and he just snapped.. who knows? It's just that a Will is not something you want easily spoofed.
When is a monopoly not a monopoly? Why, when it's a monopoly, apparently.
This is beyond idiotic and dovetails nicely into the recent news that Comcast and other ISPs have decided that Americans "pay too little" for their broadband, which is an outrageous claim. Maybe we pay too little for road access too, why not just make all roads toll roads?
Couldn't the law also interpret an imminent expectation of death as being under duress, possibly even negating the "sound mind" clause, invalidating the will? Just throwing stones here, IANAL.
Maybe.. but doesn't that depend how far away the brother was, or, how quick the police could/would arrive, where the guy was offing himself? I guess it depends on how he offed himself, they don't say. A gunshot would be immediate, hanging or bleeding out would take mere minutes, an overdose could take hours.
My problem with this is that the text was unsent and still a draft, yet he took his own life at a time of his own choosing. So, it's likely he wasn't really sure he wanted to do this, but was only pondering it... unless he didn't have signal where he was. Some people right mad letters just to blow off steam but never send them. The whole point of text messages is to send a communication, not create documents on your device. There are default apps for that too. Had the text been sent, that'd be different. Was there cellular reception at this location?
Step 1: US Company, Equifax allows personal ID data for 100's of millions of people to be stolen and nobody seems to care.
Nobody seems to care? It's been all over the news, in every form of media; it's been a huge deal. They're under criminal investigation by the DoJ for possible insider trading, and there's a criminal investigation into the hack itself by the FBI. Those things just take time. Protesting and rioting in the streets won't help anything, and that's getting a bit overused lately anyway. And, this may finally spell the end of using SSNs for all kinds of identification purposes, which would be a significant step in the right direction.
...will turn out to be tricking its customer base into renting rather than owning its software.
This is my fear with the entire software industry. I don't like where this is going but the writing is on the wall. The "subscription" model is already in use by Adobe (and probably many others) and it just seems to be zealously emphasizing the actuality that software is licensed, not "owned", and clubbing the customer base over the head with that fact as a reminder. It's essentially time-bombing the software. If developers want to keep their software that close to the vest while squeezing every dime out of you they possibly can, I'll find alternatives; I prefer to buy once and not be hassled again and again; or better yet, FOSS if it does the job well. I don't begrudge anyone their right to make a fair amount of money off their hard work, but this model seems ripe for abuse and graft.
Well, the studies would not agree with your assessment. US may have the highest gun homocide rate, but remove guns from legal and law abiding owners and it would likely actually increase.
Haha. That's not a strawman you built there, that's a whole Wickerman. He meant be able to kill (or hurt, doesn't have to kill) people who threaten and attack you, i.e. muggers, murderers, rapists, etc.. not innocent people.

No, the new "Founders Reserve".. for the money, it's swill.

You can't have another "solar" system, there's only one star system around Sol and we're in it.
Not even Highland? That's good stuff.
Well, except Glenlivet, that's gone to hell in a handbasket. Their latest 10 year offering is rubbish, as aged SM scotches go.
GLENMORANGIE.
BTW, how is Laphroaig compared to Bowmore? I've never had an Islay, but my friend swears by Bowmore.
