sure, you can do that - I see lots of pics where nonFB people are tagged; only difference is that there isn't a link to their profile (because there isn't one)
I guess you're missing the point on this one - if someone chews you up and spits you out, the quoted rate is a way to say go to hell politely, while allowing them to decide if they really need you that bad. Always smile when you speak and they can eat some crow without having to admit to it.
Experience tends to prevent the necessary creativity to actually do anything too innovative.
So, do you define innovation as making the same mistakes as 30 years ago with new tools and 1000 times the resources?
Thomas Edison was an anomaly in that he recognized that mistakes were going to happen and just because experience suggested that something wasn't a good idea, didn't mean that it wasn't worth trying.
Edison ran an applied research lab - I don't know where you get the idea that mistakes are bad in that environment.
Google in particular isn't a good place to work if you've got a lot of experience.
This just makes me laugh.
in the US, age discrimination is mostly just babies in their 40s, getting angry because all of a sudden they're not able to compete with younger workers.
Or they aren't willing to do 60 hours all the time and never see their families because management can't pull its head out and do proper planning. Could be anything, really.
Over the following months, you'll receive the occasional call from your old employer, asking for some free advice about things you were an expert in. Maybe (just maybe), they'll bring you in for a few hours and pay you at an outrageously low negotiated hourly rate.
My rate starts at $250/hr, 2 hr minimum, paid in advance.
You've seen Terminator 2? Where the doctor is talking with Sarah Connor? It's not entirely unlike that at all. This isn't about 'curing' the sex offender. It's about understanding why they do what they do and to give the illusion to the prison that, if they are honest, they just might go free
Funny, I always thought that scene was about convincing the prisoner of whatever reality the psychologist has decided on. Understanding doesn't appear to play a part.
What it says on US currency is true: "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE" (yes, it's in caps). That means buying an iPad, or buying a cup of coffee.
No it doesn't. It means paying rent or a bill. If you're buying something at a retail store, they don't have to take cash at all.
And hiding in the bedroom can be seen as attempting to avoid a deadly confrontation. Killing the intruder when he backs you into a corner is then the action of last resort.
Now if they admit to another crime, then they should be tried for that second crime, and if convicted, sentenced to a longer term.
Great, now they won't talk to the head shrink at all. also, keep in mind that no psychologist will divulge this kind of thing - they'd lose their license.
Most prisoners are mentally ill in some manner, and there are very few programs in the prison systems to deal with that, and so when they get out, they're still dangerous.
that's because prisons are designed to drive people insane. As it happens, you can break anyone simply by denying them human contact for about 2 months.
It does cost a lot more to execute someone, and that's because of the mandatory appeals, mostly. The economic argument is for the bloodthirsty assholes that don't care about the 1/3 to 2/3 of people on death row that probably shouldn't be there.
No, this is pretty much bullshit. If someone is that dangerous, put them away for life. Extending someone's sentence after sentencing is just too dangerous to allow.
You cannot make policy around rare medical conditions. You can account for them in policy, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.
What's the difference? If I had asthma (and was school-age), I'd carry an inhaler, policy be damned. You can write the policy about drugs to allow inhalers and other emergency response devices or you can say it doesn't apply to them, but the effect is the same: sane policy doesn't endanger people for the sake of bureaucratic convenience.
Like that's going to work (unless they plan on rebuilding the berlin wall on a grand scale). Unless they control all transit and are willing to ban people with children from train travel, the family can take the train to austria and fly to the US under the alias von Trapp.

This is why Lamborghinis seem to spontanously catch on fire but that old Toyota Corolla you can't can't kill.
Two thoughts: which of those is more thoroughly engineered for reliability? how reliable would the corolla be if you flogged it like a lambo?
Isn't that a strip bar over in DC?
It could hit something and break a window - it's on a farm, though, what are the odds? And really, are you going to argue that any risk is too great?

Priceless!
well then I guess we understand each other just fine; I'd probably still do the work at the quoted rate, but I can totally see turning it down too.

not really. Enough is a philosophy, not a comfort level.

Is that like twice the asshole of a regular asshole lawyer?
Good luck with that. If you must go for the gun, either get it out of the guy's hands or point it away from you and punch the guy until he lets go.
Refuse ALL polygraph tests, there is no empirical evidence to support them
Actually, there is - when done properly, they're about 60% accurate. Not really reliable, but somewhat better than a coin toss.

In general the government is fine. The US government is one of the most trustworthy.
Doesn't mean you should, you know, trust them.

Heh, everybody 'needs' to text. It's those other people that should stop. I'm far too important to not text.
Oh hell, I had my mother saying that crap about tiger woods. Exactly how being good at sports makes you a role model is beyond me.
