Walmart is also facing EXTREME pressure on everyday items for grocery as well. My family shops as much as we can at Aldis for things like milk, eggs, bread and other items. Milk for instance is almost.30 cents cheaper than Walmart.
Aldi's is dirt cheap, and most of their store brand products are of pretty good quality. I get my bread, k-cups, tea, Greek yogurt, condiments, soups and so on from there. They also make an excellent chocolate hazelnut spread that costs about half of what Nutella costs. The problem with Aldi is that you can't get anything bulk. My wife uses vinegar for canning, for instance. It's cheaper to buy things like that from Walmart, since you can get a large jug for about $2.50, and it's cheaper than several smaller bottles from Aldi.
More self-publicity by the Whitehouse version of "Life with the Kardashians"
You know, there are a lot of legitimate reasons to criticize Trump & his family, but this is not one of them. This should be seen as a positive thing. A lot of people are talking about getting more women in STEM, and Ivanka is actually doing something to help promote it. We should be encouraging this type of thing. Would you have felt the same way if this had been Michelle Obama & one of her daughters? I know I would, and I didn't really like Obama either.
I think that those conspiracy theories that are propagated by more than the usual crackpots may be a result of people realizing just how much fake news, biased news and "opinion pieces" there are in the mainstream media.
I don't worry about conspiracy theories. I think what the government is doing out in the open is bad enough.
Last time someone promoted a healthy diet and exercise in the White House a sizable portion of the population went mad with rage.
There's a difference between promoting a healthy diet and exercise and imposing a healthy diet and exercise. That's what "a sizable portion of the population went mad with rage" about.
The battery is removable, or they can go straight to hell with the crap. I wouldn't take it as a gift.
Okay. It isn't open--I think I can still return it. What would you prefer instead? I can get you a gift card to Fazoli's for the same amount, or I can make a donation in your name to the Human Fund.
Democrats do not, in any way shape or form, want to keep people from negative consequences.
If that were true, there wouldn't be any "social safety net". The problem is, people tend to get tangled up in the nets. Social Security keeps people from the some of the negative consequence of not saving for retirement. WIC and Medicaid keep people from some of the negative consequences of having children out of wedlock. People in either one of these circumstances are better off than if the safety nets didn't exist, but they are worse off than if they had exercised personal responsibility in the first place. Scared and dependent is exactly where the Democrats want people to be so they have a locked in constituency.
But not today, or April 11. We have Windows 7 at work, and Windows 10 at the college where I teach. Windows 10 has exactly 0 compelling new features for me. Sadly, our department at work will be upgrading sometime before the fall semester. Can't wait to see what specialized software I run is going to break!
No, you find LOTS of people who believe in social justice. It's just that significant amounts of social justice are not justice at all.
Socialist Justice Whiners always talk about equality of outcomes, but never talk about equality of effort. If someone succeeds, it's only because they have privilege; it's never because they studied or worked hard.
I highly doubt that 29% of Androids are up to date.
This is just major carriers. Imagine how many unpatched Androids are out there on Boost, Cricket, Tracfone, etc. My wife has an Android on Tracfone and never had a security update notification.
The difference is that a simulation would have to respect a set number of rules of physics, whereas the commonly held properties of gods allows them to tamper with high level objects as they please.
Of course, no programmer ever makes exceptions in their software...
A more fitting headline would've been "Happiness is on the wane in developed nations. Which might actually help explain the rise of nationalism in recent elections.
No, you're messing up the narrative! Here's how to spin this: Trump is causing a drop in happiness across the world, especially among Italians and Spaniards, who had such high hopes for Hillary Clinton. Just stick to the narrative, or people might start thinking for themselves.
the solution is not even more money from the state (and the people via taxes) but to get the government out of it completely and allow the market to self correct
But if they get rid of easy debt, then how are they going to be able to keep producing miseducated youths with no skills applicable to the real world that live out their lives as debt slaves?
I'm amazed that anyone cares about Xbox when most of the best games are ported to PC since it's little more than a re-skin and recompile, to get mediocre performance anyway.
Maybe some people would prefer to relax on a couch in front of the TV while gaming...

I have a 6s as does my wife and son, and an iPhone 5 before that, and we've never had these issues.
I have a 6+ (over 2 years now), and an iPhone 4 before that. I haven't had any of the oft reported issues on either, such as "antennagate", "bendgate", or random shutdowns. Not sure if I'm lucky, or if some users are doing weird stuff with their phones.
It has never been a Democracy. It was always an Oligarchy. The rich white men (mostly slaveowners) who were running the country wanted to keep running the country, and wanted to get the Monarchy out of it. But they didn't want every plebe to have a voice, that would be madness!
You can trash the founding fathers of this country all you want, but they instituted a form of government that gave every plebe far more autonomy than ever existed in the past, even giving the plebes the ability to change it or abolish it if necessary.
It's our job to get vocal, get active, and get Democracy. Abolish the electoral college, as well as the practice of denying felons the vote. That only creates more incentive to find those who are politically inconvenient guilty of a felony.
Here's a thought experiment for you: Do you suppose Democracy would lead to more laws being passed or fewer laws? If the former, would that lead to more felons, or fewer?
I agree that former felons ought to have voting rights restored. But I really think they should ALL rights restored, including their 2nd amendment rights.
I definitely got a little burned out on Social Media since the election. I think I've used Twitter a half dozen times since then, and am only checking Facebook once or twice a day, usually to send birthday greetings. Some days I don't get on at all. It definitely lets you do more important/productive things, and you stay out of arguments with your left/right friends who are posting fallacious memes.
Besides, we already have all the technology we need to keep our data private. It's just that current law won't *allow* us to keep it private. As such, the *laws* need fixing, not the technology.

Thanks for your contribution, it really added a lot to the conversation! You might want to try & add a few more ad-homs next time though.

SV is one huge company town right from the last century. The only thing that is missing is Pinkerton thugs cracking skulls.
This is the logical conclusion of all union-busting that we have done last 25 years. While you might hate unions, the alternative is much worse.
The lack of Pinkerton thugs cracking skulls seems like a much better alternative to the definite presence union thugs cracking skulls...
