Dont see prides of lions killing the pride next door just for shits and giggles
Sure they do, if you count sex. Male lions will kill rival males in other prides so they can take over mating rights. Both male lions & female lions will kill the cubs of rival prides.
The most awesome thing in the world would be for her to be charged under the same law that took Ollie North down because part of the punishment is a permanent ban from all public office.
Would never happen with Obama in office. She'd get a pardon the day of sentencing.
I'll still pay you. I paid for seasons 1-4. I'll pay for 5 on google play. I just couldn't wait, and I don't want your stupid service, since the ONLY thing you have that I want is GoT. Me, and pretty much everyone.
Maybe you should look into True Detective as well. That one was pretty good, and Silicon Valley is pretty good for a comedy, especially given it's CS subject matter.
That means, by your reasoning, that George Bush (and by extension his entire family, since the "clinton corruption" search is going to return more than just items on Hillary) is more than 40% more stupid than Clinton is corrupt.
No arguments here. Just remember though, if Bush is infinitely stupid, and Clinton is 40% less corrupt that Bush is stupid, she's still infinitely corrupt.;-)
Waco Texas, where some child raping religious lunatic who thought he was Jesus Christ reborn locked himself and a pack of swirley eyed followers in a compound filled with weapons.
Koresh often made trips into Waco for supplies and could have been apprehended peacefully a multitude of times. The show of force was for the benefit of the militia-types.
And no, we can't explain what's different about CS that causes that -- so far, we can only measure the outcome.
I think I can, sort of. If you're doing math homework, it typically only takes you a few minutes - if that - to complete a problem. If you're doing CS homework, and you're trying to figure out a solution to a problem beyond "Hello world!", it might take you a few hours to complete it, even if it's less than 100 lines of code.
That's actually why the subject should be introduced in grade school.
I get where you're coming from, but most of them will get it in the form of Scratch, which while isn't terrible, won't really prepare them for non-trivial programming, such as writing a recursive algorithm to draw a fractal pattern or create a double-linked list, both of which can be tricky and require a bit of thought.
If you believe that, can you explain what about CS is different from maths, English, physics, chemistry, biology, foreign languages, history, wood working, underwater basket weaving etc etc?
CS seems to be the catch-all these days for undecided students. They're pushed into the program because of the STEM hysteria, but they're not talented enough for science, engineering or math. So you end up with a lot of kids who take CS in college because they like to play video games and don't know what they'd like to do with their life, and "that's where all the jobs are."
So in a class of 20 students, you get maybe 3-4 who really are good at it, another half dozen or so that are passable, and the rest who end up turning in paste-code from Stack Overflow that uses advanced methods but doesn't compile anyway, because they can't be bothered to read the book or look over the example you gave in lecture which you told them is extremely similar to homework problem X. You can lead a student to the IDE, but you can't make them think...
I am not sure how the influence of the NRA can be held responsible for the police "needing" military gear, considering that police began using military gear as laws restricting gun ownership increased.
Stop it, you're ruining the popular leftist anti-gun narrative! The NRA has to be the responsible boogeyman whenever someone is killed with a gun.
It is worth noting that when it was legal for the common citizen to own automatic firearms, the police were perfectly satisfied to be armed with civilian weaponry.
Three words: War on Drugs. Sure, there were SWAT teams before that, but they were fairly limited to large cities like Los Angeles, and were originally used in response to bank robberies, etc. Ever since the War on Drugs began, it has become pervasive.
Ted Danson may have, but who the fuck does he speak for? no one. Are you just pulling out things random people have said and now your claiming that they are experts? And that they speak for the scientific community?
In Ted Danson's case, he testified before Congress on behalf of an environmental group, so no, I'm not just pulling out things "random people" have said. These are people who are trying to affect socioeconomic policies by making wild statements they claim are backed by science.
A month later, they (Atta and Al-Shehhi) spent another $1,500 for three hours of flight simulator training at the SimCenter, near Miami. An instructor said they concentrated on turning aircraft, rather than practising the more difficult manoeuvres of take-off and landing, which he thought was unusual.
Why do we *need* to travel at all? Autonomous transportation in many cases is simply very inefficient teleconferencing. At least this is true in business.
Because sometimes there's real value in being there. Sure, most of the information you get from a conference or meeting could be found online, or you could watch a seminar remotely, but you don't necessarily get the same experience and make the same contacts that you would from a face-to-face meeting. Often times, you end up learning things at a conference that you didn't even know you were looking for.

We can still get at least some oil with 1800's tech. In some places oil still seeps out of the ground.
You have even greater success of finding it when you shoot the ground!

But apparently, this doesn't work if we let everyone keep more of their money. They'll just bury it in the backyard.
Worse yet, they might save for retirement, making them less dependent upon the government in their "golden" years.

Is that not the definition of being a hipster?
He probably vapes clove flavored juice too!

Writing a doublee-linked list is an academic exercise to help you understand data structures, it isn't done for practicality.
This.

You can be pedantic if you want, but there's plenty info on the web supporting it, and I remember seeing him make such claims on TV when it happened.
Artificial demand, artificial supply, and a bunch of jobless people in the middle. How can this end well.
It works out great if you're a crony.
You make a claim and you want me to provide the evidence for it ? That's not how it goes.
The claim was backed up by the original wikipedia link I provided. My reply after that was a response to your trolling.
So, where did Ted Danson actually claim that we were going to kill all ocean life ?
Here's a link to get you started. After that, I'm sure you can figure out the rest on your own. Go get 'em, Tiger!
Ted Danson may have, but who the fuck does he speak for? no one. Are you just pulling out things random people have said and now your claiming that they are experts? And that they speak for the scientific community?

And let's not forget
- Run out of oil
- Run out of food
- Kill all life in the oceans
- Have another ice age
Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA, made a wildly speculative, headline-grabbing claim in an attempt to gain more funding.
I don't think they landed very well at all.
Some of them didn't bother to learn how.
A month later, they (Atta and Al-Shehhi) spent another $1,500 for three hours of flight simulator training at the SimCenter, near Miami. An instructor said they concentrated on turning aircraft, rather than practising the more difficult manoeuvres of take-off and landing, which he thought was unusual.
(I'd think imprisonment or death is a bigger problem than where to get your wedding cake made, but that may just be me)?
You obviously underestimate the importance of wedding cakes to gay couples getting married....
The question I was responding to was "Why do we *need* to travel at all?"
No, that's actually the exact opposite of how it's supposed to work.
Didn't FTFY, just highlighted the key phrase. The government is supposed to follow the Constitution, they simply don't.
