If I had this and used it (I won't) I would have it start all calls with: "Hello fellow human. Greetings, it is I, another human being just like yourself."
It is akin paying for a vacation, vs. getting a cheaper vacation but have to sit threw a time share presentation.
I used to not mind the time share stuff. Usually it was a really cheap to stay at a really nice place, and then not pay attention to a guy I eventually say no to. Or when I was a kid.... play free video games while my parents dealt with that.
But then came the point where my dad died. Literally 12 hours after his death I get a call asking for him. Tell the guy that he was my father, and he just died a few hours before. Guy's response: "Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I'm calling to see if you are interested in-" and that's where I told him to piss off and hung up.
I thought about that for a moment, but then realized Stevia isn't artificial. Then again there are some "stevia products" that say Stevia - but then they have 10 other things in them... including artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
Surveys showed that current employees would prefer more predictable pay to the bonuses.
(I don't know how their bonuses work, so if they are rare and hard to achieve (and the same to the stocks) I was unaware when making this post) To be fair.... I worked in a warehouse for a year or so. Many employees there were angry / insulted at being offered life insurance and 401k's. They would give a response of basically: "What the HELL would I want my money going to anything else for? It's MINE I want it now. How else am I gonna go get crunk every Friday after this place?" A guy with 3 kids was asking this.
The comment about the smell just makes me remember college years. Go to McDonald's at 2AM. Notice strong weed smell. Order food. Receive completely wrong order.
But as for making it not stink.... wasn't part of weed culture just bragging about the dank smell?
Since the news and everyone is obsessed with the alert.... what is he trying to pass while everyone's attention is taken? At least that seems to be what usually happens in these cases (eg: passing more tax cuts recently while everyone was focused on Kavanaugh)
I just walked through the break room at work, and CNN was covering "COMEDIANS MOCK PRESIDENTIAL ALERT" and it was just clip after clip and image after image of tweets, posts, stand up, talk shows, etc, making fun of the alert. 5 minutes later I walked through again and they were STILL talking about it. What's so newsworthy about comedians mocking a small event? It's not like someone joked about decapitating Trump again. It's just: "Oh no, an alert noise! We're doing this? This annoying sound again! It's so annoying, EVERYONE LAUGH WITH ME."
One of the most disappointing things I've eaten. It looks so awesome... and is just sort of a slightly sweet taste. Kind of like a weak watermelon. I agree with the post, though. Definitely would look forward more to a variety of veggies and fruit than just leafy greens (that being said, anything making it easier to eat those daily is a good thing)
We could do it in the US, but we've got evangelical so-called "christians" who refuse to give their kids the vaccine, because Jesus told them sex is bad, m'kay?
Is there some kind of axe to grind with the Christians that all of them are the sole and only cause of anti-vaccers?
I'd very strongly be in support of #2. As far as headset... I'd like the option of using a wired one. Rather not have delay on the audio like most Bluetooth still seems to deal with somewhat.
Would also like for them to offer a better / portable dock. I'd rather not unhook mine to take it to visit and play with family. Also it would be nice to have a smaller one to toss into for TV play when traveling.
p>I'm still wondering where the 3rd party games are, considering how well the systems have sold. Hope it didn't Vita itself with high development costs.
I wonder how much of it is 3rd parties just being burned too many times in the past? On the other hand... the console is filled with indy titles that all seem to be reporting better sales than all other platforms (and in some cases, more than all others combined).
Also... No big surprise about a new version of the console/handheld.
I'm sure Slashdot is the most important place for stock market altering news.
Troll feeding aside... If you want to talk about crazy, positive pieces.... I saw the title of an article the other day (didn't bother reading it) that said some stock analyst is predicting Tesla will easily be worth 20+ billion by 2030, and how it'll be the next big amazing mega stock.
Basically the entire story is that the entire rebel fleet is reduced to about a dozen people and a single small ship.
I remember wondering after the movie, what's the point of continuing the rebellion? It seemed like their main group is gone and no other group is out there willing to do anything. The Empire is still a million times stronger than them. There is no hope. But of course I'm sure the final movie will have Rey the Messiah do something to win everything.
when Finn is prevented from sacrificing himself to save his friends, only to be sabotaged by some nutcase.
I don't get this at all. Her character was seeming to be set up as the "strong independent woman who does The Right Thing. Yet in the ending of the movie she chooses to potentially sacrifice everyone's life to hopefully maybe escape with Finn somehow. Her whole intro in the movie was "How dare you save yourself and leave everyone to die" then she just does the same thing at the ending (or arguably worse, Finn was running away from a hopeless situation... she literally destroyed their one hope).
The funny thing is... the original ending supposedly was going to be happy, with everyone getting away alive and well. They decided to change it later on to the (better) more negative and hopeless ending.
Look at how they are destroying politics and culture by saying a movie is bad!
I thought this was a joke when I saw the article earlier this morning. I can understand them saying "political motivation" due to the "how dare you do SJB crap" some people are saying about non white and also colorful hair characters.... But at the same time, most everyone that I know that saw the movie considers it between "awful" and "ok." At best it was an ok summer action popcorn movie not worth more than one watch.
It is pretty great that part of their defense of the movie's bad ratings is: "Russia!"
I was confused why they were saying Planet 9 and also calling it "Planet X." Maybe they were watching Godzilla. At least I feel like I remember something about Planet X being where aliens were from in one/some of those movies.....?
Then there is legion of "we must add every detail of everything, no matter how minor"
This reminds me of stories a friend of mine used to tell me. He was one of the RC Patrol (I have no idea why) guys on Wikipedia 10ish years ago. He said they constantly had issues of articles being added for people who were basically nobody. It was almost always about Indian men in IT or computer science of some kind. Constant articles like: "Ambish Gupta, 32 years old, is an IT worker employed by Whatever Company since a date barely 1-2 years ago."
By doing so, the students also open themselves up to receiving information from corporate sponsors who pay the cafe to reach its clientele through logos, apps, digital advertisements on screens in stores and on mobile devices, signs, surveys and even baristas.
I'd like to imagine someone trying to go in there and telling them their interests are only "porn" and "prostitutes."

I wasn't are that they were selling arsenic and Botulinum toxin in grocery stores labeled as sweeteners.
My point wasn't natural = safe. I more of meant that the study was on artificial, so it probably wasn't included in the study regardless.

But can it measure the Dunning–Kruger effect?

This is starting to sound like shavers.
Then in a few years, we can expect someone to announce an amazing phone with only one camera! One superior camera is much better than several!
It should also deliver some of his finest tweets. 2:30AM message from Trump, stating he loves Mexicans because Taco Salad is delicious.

If someones not prepared to send a woman to death row for an abortion, one must conclude they don't *really* think its murder.
What about the people that also are anti death penalty?
We could do it in the US, but we've got evangelical so-called "christians" who refuse to give their kids the vaccine, because Jesus told them sex is bad, m'kay?

SpaceX wouldn't bother with the Moon. Elon is obsessed with Mars.

Disney accidentally made a good one.

giving one of the most data-hungry companies on the planet the means to wire up everything from street lights to pavement.
What data are they going to get from the pavement? A fat person walks on it, and suddenly starts getting ads for exercise and diet DVDs/books/etc?
It also shows up around super phone booths.
