No. This is wildly untrue. There's huge amounts of science kits and craft stuff. There's some action figures, but really not that much. There's actually a large variety of toys, and given that Target has a smaller selection, a ToysRUs has all the toys a Target will have.
They didn't do anything wrong, just the business model was outdated. It went the way of camera stores or bookstores. The way BestBuy or Fry's will go sometime in the next decade...swallowed by Amazon.com (and to a lesser extent, Walmart/Target). It costs a little bit more, and busy parents would rather order something online than drive 15 minutes down the road (or at least, that's how I am).
The organization releasing the details clearly believes UFOs are aliens. They also apparently believe in telepathy, and a bunch of other wacky sci-fi bullshit.
UFOs in common parlance means little green aliens from Pluto. Don't be pedantic.
Are you on crack? There's a huge number of top tech companies based in SF. Uber, Twitter, Square, Dolby. Google, Yahoo, and Cisco have big offices there. It's not as big as Palo Alto (and doesn't have have the space for the huge office complexes Google and so forth have) but it's definitely one of the top tech cities in the Bay.
Who cares about special effect any more? It's all been done, the movie could easily be 120 minutes of CGI. It's about artistry, and the movie didn't have anywhere near the artistry of the first Blade Runner.
More important is that the movie's story was shit, a worthless sequel coasting on the reputation of the earlier movie. I wasn't too fond of the acting, either. These sequels to beloved movies from 20+ years ago seem fun, but they almost never work out...Someday I'll learn but in the meantime it's an annoying pattern of hopes getting raised despite probable disappointment.
From looking, Sanders started at about 800K and ended up at about 300, about the same proportion as Trump.
There's really no comparison, because Trump's numbers were so much higher to begin with. Maybe Trump just acquired more casual onlookers than the other candidates.
This list, for one, says 16 of the top 18 in the world are US.
Maybe you disagree, maybe it's really only 14 of the top 18. Still, it's a long way from 3rd world status. Now go back to telling us how the Nokia N900 was way better than the iPhone 1 or whatever it is European apologists like to do on Slashdot.
US is nowhere near a 3rd world nation, and a proposed plan (that will probably not pass) to fire a bunch of weathermen doesn't portend its slide into 3rd world status.
US has the world's largest economy, 9 out of the 10 best universities in the world, the world's largest entertainment & cultural industry, the world's largest companies, half the world's Nobel Prizes last year, we've won the World Series for like 23 years straight....
Do you find yourself watching Rocky 4 and rooting for Ivan Drago?
I double checked the numbers (which were just a rough guess, actually), and yes. The energy density of gasoline is about 100 times the energy density of a VW eGolf battery, if you're going by weight.
Aren't you famous on Slashdot for being a loser? Maybe you shouldn't be quite as mean when you're ignorant on a subject.
Gas currently has 100 times the energy density of a battery but go nowhere near 100 times as far. If a Tesla's batteries stored 100 times as much energy, the car would go like 30,000 miles between charge-ups.
Basically, the point you made is stupid and you should feel bad.
San Francisco actually mandates a pretty normal amount of parking. Different districts have different requirements, but generally one space to one apartment, or 1.5 spaces per house in a new housing development.
Yes, parking is difficult in SF. It's a very small dense city with a lot of commuters from the suburbs. Land is very expensive and nobody wants to turn the land into an unprofitable parking garage instead of a highly profitable office building, so there will always be that tension of wanting to build as little parking as possible.
New Urbanism isn't a top-down scheme imposed by some evil central committee, it's a guideline that springs from the bottom up because of the perceived advantages. It makes for pleasant cities that consume less energy and have shorter commute times. There is a need for New Urbanism because plenty of people live in fucking Brentwood and commute 2.5 hours to San Francisco. The model of "everybody lives in a ranch home and drives to work in San Francisco or San Jose" doesn't work when there's 10 million people.
Self-driving cars, using an app for quick/easy ride requests, decreased regulations, GPS directions instead of AAA maps, better payment system. You realize that Uber is a lot more popular than taxis ever were, right?
So update EFI, upgrade RAM to 16GB, swap HDD for SSD and install the latest macOS.
This is the best answer and really should be +5. The only issue is, looking on Ebay it's a $100 laptop. Is it really worth putting a couple hundred dollars of new parts into it? Personally I would upgrade the OS and leave it at that.
Slashdot Mirror
I've seen people trying to reverse the burden of proof (i.e. "I claim and if you don't believe me, prove me wrong")
Wow, you're aware of the scientific method! Pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing.
You either delete it or you don't. This is like people who are going to start going to the gym "next week."
Too bad they couldn't upgrade the server to the B+ so I could actually read this story.
You've posted on Slashdot 15 times in the past week, you're hardly the model of productive internet use.

No noise cancellation, bigger than a Nomad. Lame.
Tens of millions of people saw the movie, so surely a lot of people liked it and a lot of people didn't.
It didn't do very well at the box office and wasn't nearly as well-received as the original, so obviously a lot of people would agree with me, too.
Who cares about special effect any more? It's all been done, the movie could easily be 120 minutes of CGI. It's about artistry, and the movie didn't have anywhere near the artistry of the first Blade Runner.

It saves you money, and everybody likes money.

i guess iPhone uses the highest spec then, because the iPhone 3GS in the back of my closet boots up no problem.
Maybe the confusion is that nobody in the US uses MM either. Of course US people don't use it as an excuse to jump on a weird anti-European rant.
Hey, care to tell us how great the Nokia n900 was, and that diesel is obviously the best way to fuel a car?
There's always low-level employees with any huge organization. He could work anywhere.
"I was driving drunk, but my car broke down, so it doesn't count"?
I don't even understand what your objection is, aside from taking your friend's side. Cop did the right thing.
Plus he totally ignored Kevin when he was lost in the Trump Hotel in "Home Alone 2."
