Shipping is expensive, even if you're a big customer like they are. If they're giving away that much to so many people, they must have a really nice profit margin on the service.
They don't need a huge profit margin. I'm sure they have one, but the biggest benefit of getting you signed up for prime is when you're buying something you'll most likely just go straight to Amazon rather than go somewhere else because after all, you've already paid for the 2-day shipping.
If the cop asks to see my phone, I would tell him to go f*ck himself (conveniently, cussing out a cop is protected speech, at least in parts of the country)
It is, but that won't prevent the scumbag from calling over his buddies to hold you down while he pepper sprays you, then charges you with a bunch of bullshit of offenses. Trust me on this.
We have stopped using your trademarked terms Jedi and Sith, your laughably descriptive term "lightsaber" and even the obviously generic "Force". However, we are drawing the line at dropping the word "light", even when in combination with "battle" or "sword". Your resemblance to the Prince of Darkness does not give you a monopoly over light. Please fuck off now.
What's next, female only shopping malls because the sexist pigs might look at a glorious woman with lust?
Now there's an idea.. "Honey, can you come shopping with me?"... "Sorry, the mall just went woman only, remember? Why don't you go with Helen instead?"
The Porsche you linked to is a hybrid. 608HP of internal combustion power, plus 279 HP of electric. Running only on the electric, its range is 12 miles.
So the evil aliens are scanning space. They notice a planet around an insignificant star about halfway along the Orion arm of the Milky Way. It gets filed for eventual exploitation. Then at some point it disappears. Now it's INTERESTING. That's bad.
Minorities are not going to line up 100% behind Hillary. He's going to get a shocking (to the media) proportion of the Hispanic vote. He won't get much of the black vote (no Republican has for some time) but there isn't going to be the turnout for Hillary that there was for Obama.
Not going to happen. Trump knows how to make deals. If he's got the delegates, he'll throw the GOP establishment enough of a bone to make it worth their while not to give the nomination to someone else.
Hillary, on the other hand... every time Sanders wins a primary it seems her lead increases. So much for the "Democratic" party.
Precisely. This "you need more than technical ability, you need soft skills" stuff is just one in a long line of things to keep good technical people "in their place". No one ever tell a salesperson that to advance in sales, they'll need to learn to build the product. Nor does a marketing person get told they'll need to service it to advance in marketing. But engineering? Sorry, if you can't do absolutely everything, technical and "soft", you're just a low-level drone. As you say, if I could do everything, I'd found my own damn company.
What a wonderfully ignorant statement that captures the very essence of this argument. While DNA has no "memory" of how it was created, DNA is not the only concern with GMO foods. GMO foods are engineered to contain genes that express proteins that are advantageous to the recipient plant.
Non-GMO foods contain genes that express proteins that are advantageous to the recipient plant also.
The rest of your post is just the argument from ignorance plus the precautionary principal. There is no doubt that some GMO protein could turn out way down the line to cause some subtle health issues. But the same goes for every other (naturally evolved) protein in the plant; if you don't want to eat anything unsafe, you'll have to starve to death.
Roundabouts are only popular among people who don't like cars. They slow traffic to a crawl at all times because you have to look in several different directions at once to see if it is safe to enter and to figure out where you have to be to exit.
It was a corporate event. The proper etiquette is to show up, drink something non-alcoholic, make small talk and shake hands, and make an excuse as to why you need to leave by 8Pm.
Partying at things like this will end badly for you. Just show up to look like you're part of the team.
This is only if you're an engineer. If you're in marketing or sales, the proper etiquette is to show up and drink all night. If you happen to become the life of the party, act completely inappropriately, and end up taking two women back to your hotel room, the worst that will happen to you is you will be the target of good-natured (and jealous) ribbing for the next few weeks. Unless one of the women is the boss's wife, of course. I imagine there's similar embarrassing behavior for women ("dancing on the table" is one i've heard), since marketing and sales are more gender balanced.
Yes, absolute shortages exist. Unless the area you are in is somehow inaccessible to most people (e.g. you're in ISIS-controlled territory), you don't have one. There is a price you can pay to get workers; that you're not willing to pay it doesn't mean there are no workers at any price.
And anyone who said they saw this coming was called a nut, tinfoil hat, paranoid or conspiracy theorist. Some people don't realize they're drowning until they actually feel the water burning inside their lungs.
That's optimistic. Most people are much less aware than that. They will feel the water burning inside their lungs, and still believe the government when it tells them the answer is to breathe in more water.
Just stating that I am not for higher taxes, doubt many of you are either, however look at the historical reality
Starting a speech with a blatant lie... that's a good start for a career in politics.
Name one thing that has ever been privatized that 5, 6 or even 10 years later, Americans were better off for the privitization? I can not think of a single example.
Jackthreads also isn't out of Silicon Valley -- it was founded in Columbus, Ohio, and opened an office in New York City. They got bought by a company called Thrillist, also in New York City, then split again last year. They're still in New York City.

in the 18-24 set as soon as Trump is elected.

Or maybe they want to buy beer for Isis

Not quite, but many are "point and shoot".
Happens vanishingly rarely to those carrying concealed.
Now there's an idea.. "Honey, can you come shopping with me?"... "Sorry, the mall just went woman only, remember? Why don't you go with Helen instead?"
It's Paypal, they'll seize first and ask questions later (if at all)

I think my next Porsche will have an ICE in it.
It's just being built in China now; cheaper labor, fewer environmental regulations. (Obviously)

Perhaps they are recording them to see if any bumper stickers are, indeed, correlated with some sort of wrongdoing.
Bridges and airplanes? Engineers drive trains and run steam plants.

It turns out proof by juxtaposition is not valid.
Also the "Republican" guy is a nutcase.
