This summary does a very good job at making a $2 per month price increase appear very dramatic.
Well if you think that's dramatic, wait until you see all the crying, whaling, and gnashing of teeth some subscribers will be spewing onto social networks over it!
Also the fact of the matter is that we didn't keep mortality statistics in ancient times. We have no idea what the rates of incidence of most health conditions where.
It's a WWII game. Why the heck would it have women soldiers with cybernetic prosthetics in it ?
There were female soldiers on both the Russian side and the in french resistance. As for the "cybernetic prosthetic" it's a real prosthetic from the time period. No "cybernetics" involved.
Budgets are done annually. The second $5,000 payment will be in the 2020 budget. You don't budget for stuff for one year in another year. Stop being dense.
They have an allocated budget of $125,000, which is good for 12.5 people for the promised $10K each. There is no mention of or reason to believe that they will allocate more into the budget next year.
The program offers up to $5,000 a year for two years.
$5,000 per year for 2 years, so 2019 budget (1 year) is for 25 grants.
Stanley has said they will continue to honor existing warranties, however there are still questions on what they will replace some tools with. Right now it looks like Sears is selling completely different tools than Stanley under the Craftsman brand. Plus Sears Craftsman line has a much bigger selection, particularly for specialty tools. If you have something on the edge I'd head to the nearest Sears ASAP to get it swapped out.
Also this applies to the Craftsman tools being sold outside Sears. The ones on the Sears site appear different. I think Sears is still allowed to source their own Craftsman lines. Which is just weird and confusing. But it looks like that might not be a problem for much longer.
They were bought by Stanley Black and Decker. They are making hand tools in Asia (China and Taiwan) but are looking at bringing some of them back to the US. The first new tools hit Lowe's last quarter and seem decent. The new power tools appear to be slightly down-spec'd DeWalt tools. AvE took one of the impact drivers apart and the internals are basically identical to its DeWalt sibling. The torque rating is slightly lower and the batteries are marketed as 18v vs 20v (which is really 18v, the 20v is marketing fluff).
They have also added in a 16 person "creative mode" based on the BR gamemode which gives you your own private island and a set memory allocation limit to build on mess around in. You can also share the map for others to play on in their own game. Getting popular with streamers to do private matches, races, and mini games.
The biggest problem I've had (and what caused me to cancel my prime) wasn't with UPS/USPS/Fedex but it was their own delivery service. I was getting upwards of 50% of my orders delivered 1-2 days late when they were shipped with "Amazon Logistics".
Nah, that won't work. They will just pony up a scapegoat from the company to take the fall. Want to really hurt them? Ban the company, and the executives (so they can't just roll a new corp out under a new name) from government contracts for 5 years for the first incident, 10 years second, forever third. No appeals, no exceptions.
Maybe, but there are actual counterfeit copies of popular text books out there. These are printed overseas without the publisher's permission, usually full of OCR errors and with shitty bindings. For example: a fake copy of The Art of Electronics sent to EEVBlog by the real book's author. Here's another example a counterfeit copy of the DSM V . Textbooks are expensive, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that pirated copies would start coming in from Asia.
Oh really? So where are the lowered prices in video streaming? All I see are price increases. I'll concede I'm wrong when you show me where either of Amazon, Hulu or Netflix has lowered their prices due to more "competition."
"Lower prices due to competition" doesn't always mean "prices must go down" it can also mean "prices will not go up as much". If Netflix had a monopoly do you really think you would be paying what you are today for it? Hell no, it would be higher. Probably way higher.
Bullshit. There are multiple video streaming services and despite this all of them have raised their prices on multiple occasions. Both Netflix and Hulu, as examples, are more expensive now than when there were fewer options.
So your logic is that if Netflix had a monopoly on streaming it would be cheaper than it is now?
I'd be willing to bet it is, in absolute terms. Coal power is the #1 power source that can be directly attributed to pollution that causes cancer. Nuclear has the potential but even considering past disasters exposure is extremely rare. Most other sources have no real potential for causing cancers.
As for skin cancer, melanoma rates in the US alone are about 92K per year, with about 9K deaths per year. Not sure about would wide rates. But overall I'd say that it would be true that sun exposure is responsible for more cancer than other power generation sources.

Yes, but tan as an attractive trait is relatively new, really only coming to be in the mid 1900's.

It's your house, not the State's.
Try not paying your state rent..er..property taxes and see how well that statement holds up.

Vermont Will Give You $10K
$10K, not $5K. $10K.

Is that a typo? Because that only covers 12.5 people, which doesn't sound newsworthy.
I assume it's $125,000,000?
It's $5,000 a year for two years, so a budget of $125,000 for FY 2019 is for 25 grants, not 12.5

Speaking of JCPenny, they just became a penny stock

I mean, at this point, do we really think /. is worth the effort to astroturf to? Let's be honest, it's well past it's heyday.

eBay has turned into AliExpress for the most part, with a lot of items being sent directly from China.

Idiots like you are why I usually ignore ACs. That's the dumbest fucking argument I've seen all week.

There are plenty of Usenet providers out there. You don't have to rely on your ISP to provide it to you.
Back? It never went away.

Yea but didn't they just start buying more power from France and their nuclear power plants?
