Yes, we must end the scourge of things being designed by well educated engineers, and add the diversity of blond bimbo strippers, people who "identify" with the gender that they were not born into, people who choose to waste their public education and remain illiterate (although some of those are still waiting for the Basketball or rap "music" opportunity that society owes them), and people who bring different insight through dubious chemical means that Obama chooses to look the other way on. Of course, we will still let the engineers do the actual work, but we must add the other diversity to the design teams.
It was a politically driven exodus. Just like now we had two bad political parties trading power, it isn't like either party then or now was responsive to the will of the people. You only have to look at the statistics on how the will of the people has no effect on passing laws when either party is in power, and the will of big business and political contributors comes out ahead of popular opinion in passing laws no matter which side is "in power".
So I guess your point is that the 60's and 70's exodus to Canada was politically driven, just like this one will be.
Yea, lets criticize the "hippy sorts" when Nixon and Henry Kissinger believed the war in Vietnam was unwinnable and “simply wanted to punt the issue until after the 1972 elections, after which they expected South Vietnam to collapse.” And Robert McNamara even admitted this and that he was just sending kids to their deaths for political reasons believing that we could not win that war. But by all means, lets try to shift the blame to the dirty hippies.
Because it is much colder there, and the killing frosts come much later in the spring and much sooner in the fall, not because of the length of daylight. And we are working on fixing the frost problems with global warming.
What's your point? The length of days isn't shorter in most of Canada, the sunrise/sunset transitions are just a little different. In fact, if you go far enough north the summer day gets VERY long.
Child, are you too young to remember the Americans who moved to Canada due to the politics of the 60's and early 70's? I know people who went, and the numbers were not insignificant.
Heck, we're talking about a 1.3 degree or so rise in global temperature. That simply ISN'T ENOUGH! After the next election there will be a mass exodus to Canada (the liberal drug policies have already made it unsafe for U.S. citizens to flee to formerly tropical paradises). When that happens we need Canada to be a lot warmer. Maybe ten degrees if we just go to Toronto and Vancouver, but a lot more if Canada expects to take American Refugees into the vast sparsely populated wastelands to the north. Lets quit thinking about the needs of the terrorists and crank up the heat for the needs of our own families. Think of the children!
Yes, you can overdose. Heck, you can overdose on salt or even water, and they are not normally considered poisons. If you want to play it safe, or if you don't have an iodine pill, the best thing to do when your local nuke reactor goes critical is to grab the little bottle of iodine that has been in the medicine cabinet for ages and smear the iodine solution liberally all over you. Your thyroid wants iodine and it is going to do what it can to get it, The reactor just released some nasty radioactive isotope of iodine. So the best thing that you can do is get the hell out of there and expose your body to as much non-radioactive iodine as you can safely, so that the thyroid takes up that rather than the nasty radioactive isotope.
What does that mean? Are they requiring that the GPS always be on (and draining the battery)? Or will the required GPS be turned off to save power and thus no more useful than a phone without one? Perhaps what would be really nice is require the panic button to power on the GPS, but it takes time to get a GPS lock and even then is wasn't stated that this would be put in place.
Seems to me that if the rider has to pay if the driver waits even two minutes then "allowing" the rider to cancel after 5 minutes of no-show isn't equitable. Shouldn't the rider get credit for the time that they have been kept waiting? And, although I acknowledge 2 minute accuracy might be hard for a driver in traffic, is it fair to require 2 minute accuracy with financial penalty for the rider but only five minute accuracy with no real financial penalty for the driver? Particularly when any half decent computer system from a multi-billion dollar company like Uber could be updating the customer (and corporate) of exact arrival times on a continuous basis.
Blasphemer! He dares say something reasonable about the environment when the Pope, Obama and all of our other religious leaders decry it. We don't care if carbon dioxide has benefits, like increasing food production, reducing water waste or preventing the next ice age. We want to hate it, and our minds will not be open to rational discussion!
$18k per year is a lot cheaper than paying out zillions for stuff a court says they "should have done better with."
But spending $18k doesn't prevent that at all, rather it sets the expectation that the nanny state should be doing even more and makes the next lawsuit all the more likely.
It's a bit like being mad that you pre-ordered from Amazon but Best Buy still has inventory.
No, it's like pre-ordering from Oculus and having Oculus ship to others first because they can get more sales that way. And your theory about selling to PC retailers is complete bullshit.
Be nice. Obviously they don't have anything useful to do up there while blowing through all of our tax money. Whey shouldn't a man on a treadmill be allowed to run a marathon in zero gravity and call it "competing"?
"trying to jump the queue." is harsh. These marks, I mean people, ordered first. Oculus decided that they already had their money and would sell their devices to other marks who were also willing to buy a PC. Some learned that they could reduce the already too long wait by playing some games with the Oculus order department. Who do you feel they are jumping the queue on? They are still behind the people who ordered a device and a PC yesterday. They may be getting ahead of the people who ordered the device only yesterday, but since they ordered months ago they certainly should be. The only people who they are jumping ahead of are the marks that Oculus told they were getting screwed and said they were OK with that.
Yes, it is only a reflection. Pay absolutely no attention to the established fact that NASA cuts the feed every time there is one of these reflections. That is just an amazing coincidence.
Good luck explaining to your wife why there is an Ethernet cable running to the mattress, or (even if it's wifi) why there is a power cord running to the mattress and one of the devices on the home network is called "mattress". Planning for infidelity can be self-fulfilling.

I'm arranging to melt the fresh water glaciers.
The lesson we learn from California is that any soil can be made suitable for farming, just add enough fertilizer, water and sun.

But it is much cheaper to hand out iodine pills rather than deal with the terrorists or even to properly maintain an aging reactor.

The school district says it will pay about $18,000 annually for SnapTrends
I guess this is really a great thing since the school district has all that excess money that they can't find a use for.
Be nice. Obviously they don't have anything useful to do up there while blowing through all of our tax money. Whey shouldn't a man on a treadmill be allowed to run a marathon in zero gravity and call it " competing "?
Hey! That's racist against terrorists!

If you can't screw your customers, who can you screw?
I'll never accept one. They are only worth 70% of what a bill with a man on is worth.
Yup, just another absurd move of political correctness. And one that will not be accepted by the public when they see how ugly the money is becoming.
