Even worse she worked for an NSA contractor. So she's incompetent as well. Of all people someone working in Intel should know about those watermarks, they have been around for over a decade. But Black? I've seen her picture and it's always possible she has black ancestors but you'd never know it from her picture. Maybe Black like Rachel Dolezal?
I think this is a clear issue that transcends party lines. He's using the forum to communicate directly to the people and they have a right to participate. If they become abusive he can appeal to Twitter to suspend them.
The interesting thing is the Democrats had a supermajority. They could have rammed through a climate change treaty just as easily as they did Ocare. Why didn't they? Because Congress didn't want to touch it. Once ppl found out what had happened it would have made the shitstorm backlash from Ocare look like a spring day. Insane amount of money to accomplish next to nothing at best.
The reason I upgraded? I noticed that on my NTSC set I couldn't see the score on the football game. It is in the corner and with HD broadcast the corner was out of sight on my screen. I didn't realize how cheap they had gotten, I got a nice 50" 240hz 1080p TV for 600 dollars on a Black Friday sale. It weighs a fraction of what my old set did and uses far less power. When I turned my old one on the lights in my living room used to flicker. I'll pop for a 4K when this dies or on this one's 10th anniversary, whichever comes first.
The only things that really cost an inordinate amount of money today are housing and healthcare. Basic subsistence otherwise is cheap. I retired recently reducing my pay by 50 percent. I own my house and car outright so even though my pay is half I actually have much more money. I eat out maybe 10 percent as much as I used to because I'm home and have time to fix better quality food that's cheaper than what I paid for eating out. I no longer pay to get my grass cut, I have time to do it myself and benefit from the exercise of pushing a mower around my half acre. My main monthly expense is my health insurance, over the last 8 years the cost of it nearly tripled and my copays doubled and catastrophic limit more than doubled. Still, I'm pretty well set, as long as the country doesn't fail. There are of course no guarantees in life.
I can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. 4K seems just a bit clearer than 1080. I remember when I got my 1080p HDTV in 2010 I was blown the fuck away by it coming from an old 32" NTSC set. Since then, it's not enough to get me excited. Yes, it's better. When my current set dies, I'll get one of the new ones.
What really bugs me is that shit continuously leaks out of the NSA. Just pours the fuck out. What do we pay them for? I mean really what use is a spy organization that gets the fuck hacked out of it all the damn time? Billions of dollars and the secrets we pay through the nose to acquire are out for every asshole in the world to use. And not a single damn incompetent cocksucker gets fired! On 9/11 we get hit by fuckers that they knew were here, they had a report they were learning to fly but weren't interested in how to take off or land a Jumbo Jet, and no one lost their job despite one of the greatest Intel FAILS of all time. I think it's time to do something about Americas spy organizations that only seem to be fit to spy on Americans.
I've been ordering more stuff online. Self serve kiosks will only cause me to move to almost everything online. Before I work my ass off checking out myself I'll just have the postal service drop it at my door. Fuck Walmart. They've been trying to get people to use those kiosks at the grocery store. Occasionally someone with 2 or 3 items will use them. The people with a buggy with 200 dollars worth of groceries? I've never seen that. I hear McD's has kiosks now but I don't eat that shit anyway so who cares. If they really want ppl to check themselves out they should have a 5 percent discount on the kiosks. That might get some action there.
They just did it as an emergency effort to get some aircraft that were near completion of modifications back to their units. After that we scaled back. If it had continued I'm pretty sure there would have been some really bad stuff. Working around a weapon system that has 3000 psi hydraulics and lots of moving parts to be operational checked. I actually saw one worker get caught in a landing gear door once during a period of long hours. They couldn't get the door to close and she noticed that a connector was loose in the wheel well. Without thinking she reached inside to connect it and "wham" it closed on her. She had half her body in there and it didn't go over center on the cam or she'd have gotten fully crushed. As it was she had permanent damage and was lucky to live. We had another guy fall off a jet but I wasn't there for that. He landed on some tool boxes and he never came back to work. He had only worked there a few months and I hardly knew him. It's an industrial environment much like a manufacturing environment in many ways. I'm sure if Tesla is straining that hard it's taking it's toll on their workers the same way. People will make mistakes and get hurt. Still and all, I loved my job. I'm retired now and I'm going to have to find something to do. My wife is working me to death.:)
We had a few guys get heat stroke. One of the older guys had a heart attack and had to be hauled out in an ambulance. Several accidents with injuries and lots of close calls. Working that hard for that many hours will cause mistakes.
I worked in an Aircraft Depot for the F15 Fighter as a civilian. Many times during periods like the Gulf Wars we would often work 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. They usually tried to limit that to 2 or 3 weeks because eventually it took a toll on people. After two weeks it's like time starts to blur. You make more mistakes and people get very stressed. Several times people almost came to blows on the job. I remember one guy walking down the back of a fighter and he stepped over an air duct and almost went off the side to the concrete floor. I watched helpless as another guy reached up and grabbed his shirt and snatched him back. We all felt energized by the emergency and the overtime was great but I was glad for some time off. Damn I wish I was 30 again. 100 degree summer heat in a hanger climbing over and inside jets. It would kill me now.

I wonder if this would help football players. Something to keep concussions from happening with such frequency.

You could well be correct. We've had it so damn good in this country for so long. People don't realize how wonderful life is right now.

We could pay them to work, then it wouldn't be slavery.

If someone is saying hey, lets go blow up the train, rounding them up is a good idea. If all they're doing is saying Allah Akbar then certainly not.
Ray Bradbury would be proud.
I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
Isn't that a "Federal" court? Not to mention the Judge is actually from Florida.

I imagine they'll make robots to take care of that problem too.

I guess we need to get those wheat seeds in the ground.
That's it, reverse the polarity on the space positron emitter.
Maybe we could increase the Amplitude?
I believe it's going to happen but I'm doubtful about if I'll still be here when it happens.
I had a T-shirt that said F15s were fighter aircraft and everything else was just a target.

Yep, they didn't have fall protection around them back in the 90s. Osha came in after 2000 and started wearing them out. Lots of changes.
