It might be a good thing that cars are so expensive, as it gets "drive until you qualify" when choosing houses, and moves people into the cities for more efficient management.
That's some awful revealing wording there, Benito.
Sorry, depending on the episode, Orphan Black can have a LOT of filler. As can US House of Cards. But I agree the problem is that not enough editing is being done.
This is all because republicans refuse to pass a bill that would stop people on the no fly list from buying guns.
I must have missed that part of the Constitution or the House Rules which says that if other members don't vote your way, you can coerce them into doing so by staging a sit-in until they change their mind.
Personally I would have had the Sergeant-at-Arms remove them, but I suppose that would have been bad PR.
1) They want to run correlations to see if they can find people abusing prescription medicines and bust them.
2) If they want to put pressure on someone for any reason, they want to dig up their prescription records. Aha, you've had several prescriptions for Percocet, does your professional review board know about your drug habit? Does your boss know you've been prescribed SSRIs? Do you want them to? No? Better play ball.
So the only incident that isn't anything but anonymous rumor turns out not to be assault at all, but merely a consensual public display of affection. The rest is unsubstantiated smear campaign.
I have no idea about the man's guilt or innocence, but it seems to me that if you want to make a guilty man look innocent, an obvious smear campaign like that website is one way to do it.
They could most certainly turn off civilian GPS on select parts of the planet, like a over a continent. A GPS satellite only serves a given cone below its current position, by turning a satellite off when the cone enters an area you want to block it in, and on again if it leaves it you can block the whole area. It of course only works on bigger "resolutions" like per-continent, but it works.
Not sure about the current satellites, but the earlier satellites didn't have this capability (or at least the government claimed they didn't)
Yes, there are official alternatives to long-running construction projects, but in the US there is no legal requirement to stick to them. Streets are legal to use for through automobile traffic except where explicitly designated otherwise. In the pre-GPS days, straying from the official detour was often a big win because pretty much no one knows how to read a map (or navigate by the seat of their pants) so you could bypass the horrific traffic on the detour that way. Now, with GPS, all routes fill up.
Heavy trucks and/or commercial vehicles are often restricted to the official detour, because the other roads might disallow such traffic (as might the streets on the detour when it's not a detour), but that doesn't apply to car commuters.
That is, the usual way for 1980s computer geeks. Self-taught BASIC on an Apple II using a few books on Applesoft and Integer BASIC. Later Pascal also on the Apple II with a few books including Jensen and Wirth's PASCAL User Manual and Report. Learned C (K&R, mind you, none of that prototype crap) on a Mac XL with the old Megamax compiler. Picked up 6502 assembler out of necessity in there, also 68000 and 6809.
Apple opens a store that sells both China-made computers AND locally-made jewelry. I bet you could get people to buy Apple-themed jewelry. Make it an India exclusive and you'll have tons of people buying it just to export.
Wait until they find out that the only things I do with Windows 10 are to practice flying drones and play a murder simulator. Hang on, I think there's a knock at the door...
It's based on EEO-1 filings, which just say "Asian". The use of "Asian-America" appears to be an error; all employees working in the US (not just citizens and permanent residents) are supposed to be included on those reports.
When you have the choice to be an asshole or a reasonable person, why be an asshole?
When a reasonable person goes up against a reasonable person, a solution may be worked out.
When an asshole goes up against an asshole, a solution may be hammered out.
When a reasonable person goes up against an asshole, the asshole wins. Worse, the reasonable person will find himself without support, because all the other "reasonable people" -- even if they agree with him -- will tell him it's not worth the conflict, to pick his battles or to not die on this hill or whatever metaphor they prefer.
Thus, when dealing with assholes, be an asshole. And if you're a reasonable person on the sidelines of a reasonable person/asshole fight, for crying out loud resist the urge to play Neville Chamberlain.
The theory seems to be that posting a review of a prostitute counts as "promoting prostitution". Why any persecutors in their right mind would want to make a First Amendment case out of a simple prostitution charge, I don't know. I guess any way to get in the papers works.
Sadly and more importantly, the attitude of young people toward politics is the same. They vote for the people who offer shiny stuff and make them feel virtuous, with no thought to whose efforts are needed to make the shiny stuff.
Yes; pertussis rates have been rising for some time, the onset of the rise roughly coinciding with the replacement of whole-cell vaccine with acelluar, so the odds keep getting worse. And the Tdap booster seems to be pretty ineffective and getting less effective.
And because herd immunity was lost. That's what I was told Yes, now people should get multiple vaccines.
Herd immunity is not possible with the current pertussis vaccine, even at 100% immunization. It's not effective enough. Further, there has been research showing that it doesn't even prevent infection upon exposure in many cases, but rather results in asymptomatic infection (which is good for the person vaccinated, but useless for any herd effects). The booster vaccine, Tdap, hasn't been shown to have been effective. (It also hurts like hell, I happen to have got it today. But that's the 'T', not the 'ap', I believe)
As an actual parent of a child, ans as an actual person who managed to get whooping cough after herd immunity went away and after almost dying from it, perhaps I have a little different of a viewpoint.
Whooping cough did not come back because of vaccine refusers. It came back because the current vaccine is relatively ineffective.

Several reasons, here's two:
1) They want to run correlations to see if they can find people abusing prescription medicines and bust them.
2) If they want to put pressure on someone for any reason, they want to dig up their prescription records. Aha, you've had several prescriptions for Percocet, does your professional review board know about your drug habit? Does your boss know you've been prescribed SSRIs? Do you want them to? No?

It works on passenger cars, just not as well. That's how I used to go over speed bumps in my Miata. You still feel it but it's not as bad.

The courts defer to the patent office. The patent office uses a rubber stamp and expects the courts to sort it out.
A wonderful idea but alas would likely get some people imprisoned. Maybe there's an Apple exec with a terminal disease who might "go rogue"?

You've just exemplified my point about reasonable people on the sidelines.
When a reasonable person goes up against a reasonable person, a solution may be worked out.
When an asshole goes up against an asshole, a solution may be hammered out.
When a reasonable person goes up against an asshole, the asshole wins. Worse, the reasonable person will find himself without support, because all the other "reasonable people" -- even if they agree with him -- will tell him it's not worth the conflict, to pick his battles or to not die on this hill or whatever metaphor they prefer.

Real estate agents use these filters to make nasty old fences that haven't been maintained look new. It's fraud, I say, fraud.

So it has ever been since at least Roman times.
