Hilarious, I thought it was just me that thought that. Iâ(TM)ll add besides black smokers, menthol always seemed popular with white trash women as well.
See, this is where I differ I guess. I stopped flying about 8 years ago, give or take. It was just too uncomfortable and too much of a nightmare that it simply wasnâ(TM)t worth it. I said for a long time that the airline industry was in a race to zero. That isnâ(TM)t good for customers. Iâ(TM)m happy paying a reasonable price for a flight. It doesnâ(TM)t need to be $50 for a two hour flight, but it shouldnâ(TM)t be $1000 either. A couple hundred bucks including my carry on and a checked bag and Iâ(TM)m good. Cross country? Sure, $500, maybe $800 for the same. Just make sure Iâ(TM)m comfortable and staff is attentive during that time. Not asking a lot.
I havenâ(TM)t missed flying. My wife and I travel a bit too, but we drive. I bought a large suv that is extremely comfortable to drive long distances and can carry everything we need to bring. Iâ(TM)m not saying Iâ(TM)ll never fly again, but itâ(TM)s nice that I havenâ(TM)t needed to.
This is the point. Diversity for the sake of diversity is counter-productive. Skills based hiring results naturally in diversity if bias is emliniated from the hiring process. Doing so is the real challenge.
My home office / light gaming machine is a 2011 MBP that I bought new. I'm using a 12 year old 22" Samsung flat panel monitor. For a couple of months I've been looking for a replacement. Ideally it would be an AIO of some sort. I'm not really interested in another Mac. However the Dell XPS 27 is at least the same price as an iMac. Both are using 7th gen i7 process when the I-9 are available. The graphics cards in these are also a couple years out of date. Look into a desktop with a 4k display in the 27" range and you're still close to $2300 US. I can't see that money for two year old (at least) tech. Asus has a 27" AIO that you can't seem to buy, Acer isn't much cheaper. Basically there really isn't much worth buying in the PC arena unless you want to spend a small fortune for dated gear.
Actually I don't see the comparison. Plenty of years with mainframes, I do make a comparison between virtualization technology in it's present state and mainframes. Cloud is conceptually different. Sure it has the time sharing aspect via oversubscribing ofmcompute resources, but that's about as far as it goes to me.
Hilarious. Some self-rightous putz decides he doesn't like law enforcement and corporations and gets himself kicked off a project. It's about time we start holding idiots like this accountable.
...the criminals that turned that city to a cesspool instead of targeting the police. Better yet, if people don't want the police in their communities, then those communities can be "no response zones" that are off limits to all public services. Seems to be what they're asking for in some of these places. Let's give it to them.
Try driving conservatively here in NJ, NYC, or any major city and you'll be an obstacle to be run over. Self driving cars, to be successful, need to adapt to the drivers around them instead of being an outlier when it comes to driving habits.
I had the OnePlus 3 and thought it was a great deal and and very good phone. There Wes a few to many Android and fit me so ended up back on iPhone, but I'd consider another 1+ first of I decided to go back to Android.
Pretty simple really, do your homework and know what you're buying, then shop price. Don't just search for the cheapest POS you can find in some broad category. There is good stuff and bad stuff out there, don't buy the bad stuff.
Actually it appears their government is the one with the problem. Most people are happy with how it works now. If I buy a meal at an informal restaurant of some sort itâ(TM)s expected there is a way to consume the meal properly, assuming the establishment provides tables or a bar for this purpose. Take a McDonaldâ(TM)s salad for example. Stop providing forks and people are likely to stop buying salads.
Most warehouse workers are performing jobs that require little skill or talent. These jobs donâ(TM)t pay well. Itâ(TM)s always been that way. Iâ(TM)ve done these jobs. Moving up generally means going from picker to a forklift driver, or moving from night shift to day shift. Not a lot of opportunity here, but there is typically consistent work to be done and thatâ(TM)s what keeps many of these folks in these jobs.
I also couldnâ(TM)t afford comics as a kid. In my 20s I started reading Uncanny X-men and followed that plus all of the extended books through Age of Apocalypse. You can figure out that was about 20years ago, give or take. A couple of years ago I wanted to check out what had been going on in comics and downloaded the Marvel apps. First I started buying the digitals, but I found the Marvel Unlimited app was nearly as good and less expensive in the long term. With an annual subscription I read all I want, any Marvel title they offer.
Others have suggested specific books that may or may not be very good, I donâ(TM)t know. However Iâ(TM)d advise looking to one of the big publishers, Marvel is my choice, as they have been doing this forever, offer a wide selection of titles, and have the digital presence to make consumption painless.
BINGO! Precisely it. This is about employee retention above all else. Those of us of a certain age have seen this in the IT industry prior to Y2K. Back then we were seeing bonuses randomly throughout the year several times more than Apple is giving here, and it was a check instead of stock.
This is true. Don't go to fancy coffee shops, buy good beans from a good roaster. Buy a good grinder and a good way to brew it. The only thing you are allowed to add is a small amount of sugar or similar sweetener. Honestly though good coffee really doesn't need sweetening.
You stopped too soon. Demand a fair market price, if Nestle moves on let them. Once all of the communities willing to sell out their people run out of water you'll still have plenty and it's price will have increased significantly. Capitalism at work.
Access to water isn't a right. If you want water, dig a well and get some. Of course you'll need equipment or someone to dig it. And you'll need to own the land to have rights to do that, and in some cases local laws may prevent you from pumping that water or even digging the well. If the land you own happens to have a spring, creek, river or lake that can be your water source, if none of the above you can collect rain water just about anywhere without restriction so long as it's raining.
My point here is most of these methods have some cost associated. Nothing, or virtually nothing is free. If someone provides you water or a source from which to get water there is going to be a cost associated with that.
What we as citizens should be pissed about isn't Nestle taking advantage of a Michigan's generosity, it's that Michigan politicians are so generous with resources that belong to the people of Michigan. If nestle wants to pump water anywhere they should be paying FAIR MARKET PRICE for that water, period. Go after the politicians. Hold them accountable. Demand that your communities resources are sold at a fair price if they are sold at all.
We're entering the age of the war on automation. We now have ways to automatically do many things that have typically done by cheap unskilled labor (i.e. shelf stocking, cashier, not small business owner) and the people who hold these jobs are going to revolt. No one wants to be seen as redundant or unnecessary, but that is what is happening. For years we've been seeing a shift from service oriented jobs to high tech jobs because in a capitalist economy we understand the later is more profitable and less risky in the long run. I don't hate the change, nor do I blame Bodega for what they envision (although that is a terrible name) but I do understand the perspective of those being displaced.
I still fail to understand who really gives a rat's ass about someone else using "naughty words". Seriously, the entire planet needs to grow the f up in my opinion.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest after reading this stupidity.

An Apple Watch may not be cheap, but having one hardly makes anyone rich. We really have a strange way of measuring wealth in this country.

But refuse to make a cake for someone and the mob left will run you out of business.
Hilarious. Why wait for them to melt? Let's tow one to a desert first. So can we now stop pretending that America is to blame for everything?

So giving away money is expensive? Who would have guessed. Stunning level of stupidity there.
That is what happens when you treat pilots like shit for at least 30 years and your industry business model is a race to zero with your competitors.

The leftists mostly have commented here as anonymous cowards while the more conservative replies are from logged in folks. Says a lot.
