In 1990, California had 29.81 million residents. In 2017, it had 39.54 million. In other words, we have to have made enough efficiencies by 2020 so that 39.54 million emit no more GHG than 29.81 million.
I have an idea that might help. Ban the use of refried beans on taco trucks. That should cut down on a lot of carbon dioxide & methane emissions!
Kinda ironic given how much stick he gave crooked Hillary for ignoring security on email.
The issue with Hillary's email server wasn't that it was insecure (that's another issue), the problem was that she was conducting official government business with it in order to avoid discovery (such as FOIA requests). That's something everyone here should be against.
Stating that Roger Stone contacted Julian Assange is evidence of Trump/Russia collusion destroys any credibility this guy might have. The rest of his points are just as easily dismissed. What are you going to do when the entire fantasy narrative you're wrapping yourself in unravels?
If you ask google the same question, you will get more credible citations than you can eat. Willful ignorance is not charming.
Neither is laziness. Saying "Search Google" is a cop out, because you can't list any. The closest I was able to find prior to posting my question to you is a claim from Adam Schiff that there was "more than circumstantial evidence" but he wouldn't elaborate. So there is no specific evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to "fix" the election.
The Toronto Star has compiled a list of every falsehood Donald Trump has uttered since being sworn in.... That these were lies is irrefutable.
There's no disputing any of the other things you pointed out, but where is the specific evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government?
That is, I'm not obligated to show you tolerance because I'm a moral person, rather, I'm obligated to show you tolerance if I'd like you to show me tolerance -- and to show it to others, too, because what goes around comes around.
The problem with tolerance is the moving of the goalpost. Tolerance used to mean "live and let live", now it's used to mean "celebrate & embrace".
I understand economics. I support UBI as a concept.
"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." - Murray Rothbard
It gets the fake libertarians on here riled up. All nerds seem to believe that they earn six figures because of their intelligence and effort, and not because they happen to be in an industry that has been hot for a few decades and they got lucky.
It's nearly impossible anymore to find a regular TV. When I went to Best Buy last year, they had exactly one 32" TV model (Westinghouse) that wasn't "smart". That's the one I bought. Most people these days have a console, or can get a Chrome Cast, Roku or Fire Stick for cheap enough to make their TV smart if they want. A "smart" TV is just one more point of failure for your TV, especially for the off brands. Does anyone really think Netflix, Hulu, etc. are going to be pushing updates for the HiSense you bought 3 years from now?
I think that manufacturers and app developers need to take on this responsibility, before government regulators decide to step in -- as with nutritional labelling (sic).
I'm pretty sure the powers that be like the zombified masses, they're easier to manipulate. "Don't worry about thinking for yourself, keep up that Twitter #slacktivism!"
Even if they did step in, all they're going to do is put a warning label on the box: "Warning: Cell phones can be addictive!" Right below that will be a second warning for CA residents: "Cell phones have been shown to cause cancer in California."
Let me add some more. In the US, liberty is though of as something that government doesn't need to "give" to you. It exists as part of your natural condition. The Constitution exists to define the limits of government. It does not enumerate your rights.
I wish more people understood this.
You are demonstrating that you simply don't care about the principle at large.
I think that's a little unfair to assume about the GP. It seemed to me that they were just clarifying that the protections in the Constitution limit on they government.
YOU are why we need laws protecting us from evil men that would do us harm. YOU would do us harm otherwise.
YOU should know better than this. So many laws "protecting us from evil men that would do us harm" is a big part of the reason we're continually moving toward a police state.
You'd have to strike the welfare clause from the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8), or the 10th Amendment, to turn welfare back to the states.
General welfare doesn't mean "payments to poor people." That stuff didn't start until "The Great Society" under Johnson. Before that, it was handled either by the counties, states, churches or other charities.
I just bought my PS4 last summer. I typically wait until a couple of years after the new version comes out before buying it so I can get the "greatest hits" versions for $20. So if it comes out in 2020, I'll get it in 2023.
Now let's work on embracing fiscal federalism by asking Washington to send each state an itemized bill. This would effectively abolish the IRS as each state figures out how to tax its own residents to pay the bill. A weak central government is still a conservative virtue, right?
Works for me. We can use apportionment for determining every state's share. While we're at it, can we turn welfare back to the states as well?
I read it as making fun of they hypocrisy in the right's view of self determination. Freedom freedom freedom, till it comes to women controlling their own bodies or sexuality, then it is evil evil evil.
You realize of course, both "sides" have this problem. They both want different sets of things to be forbidden, and other things to be mandatory. Neither one truly supports freedom in any meaningful way.
Nope. If you are for prostitution you must be against guns, obviously. Never ever could someone be for the right to do both.
I think you misunderstand. I think both should be legal--though I'd never say I was "for" prostitution--because they both come down to an issue of self-determinism. I was pointing out the GP's inconsistency.
Part of the problem is that the System Shock formula has been taken and continued by other games and franchise. Deus Ex has been similar since the start. I hear Prey is good. When Fallout went FPS, it started being like System Shock as well.
(Despite claims, BioShock is not a spiritual success to System Shock. BioShock has almost nothing in common with both System Shock games as far as gameplay is concerned. Almost any of the Looking Glass games are better than BioShock, yet people praise it for some reason. Heck, "System Shock with a freeze gun" will probably end up being better than BioShock.)
I've never played System Shock, but I have played all the others on your list (Deus Ex, BioShock & Prey), as well as DX: Human Revolution and BioShock Infinite. IIRC, game play is largely the same between all of them, but the DX series also offers branching dialogues that may lead to some slightly different game play options. BioShock series & Prey both offer crafting of weapons of sorts. Overall, they're pretty similar.

have they fixed the iOS 11 battery performance issue? That is a lot more important that fixing functionality on a niche product like the HomePod.
Option 4:
Phishing scam that asks for account number & address.

There is no evidence of collusion.

You don know the Art of the Deal was ghostwritten.
That just goes to show how clever Trump is!

Since we all here are experts in this field, we can cash in. Right?
Time to update my résumé (resume) on Dice. Maybe I can get a job writing AI for Slashdot that understands Unicode!
Well, she's of Finnish descent, so that may be the real motivation...
