I thought this was about cows. I really don't like cows. They are big and fat and unhealthy. Maybe that's why I don't like Christie. Maybe it s just because he's corrupt. Have I mentioned cowspiracy.com ?
I came across two pit bulls tearing a German shepherd apart today... ugly mess. Pit bull owner was a 70 year old woman who was helpless. Shepherd finally got free and headed for the hills.
Doubt is what keeps that large scumbag in office. Apparently most people in NJ are too stupid to see what's going on... then again, they're too stupid to move someplace else so it's a match made in heaven.
Christie has demonstrated (Bridgegate) that he has lots of minions to provide him with plausible deniability. So, yes, you are right it asserting it was probably not Christie himself. Most probably one of his minions covering up for the failings of government. I still doubt that it was a "low level bureaucrat" who came up with that tortured logic for denial... they're just not (allowed to be) that creative.
Lots of people are doing a complete risk analysis. The risk of dying when you get pertussis (whooping cough) is about 1 in 100 cases (highest in young children). The risk of dying when you get the vaccine is 0 out of hundreds of millions of doses. Questions?
The whole article is an ad hominen . The piece tries to sell vaccines by calling anyone against _this_ particular vaccine an Anti-Vaxxer, and saying that rejecting this vaccine is is Anti-Vax nonsense.
It's not nonsense. Vaccines can be very risky. The first thing you have to do is doubt them.
Then they need to be proven safe. They can be sold then.
Then they need to be proven effective. You might want to use them then.
Then they need to be proven beneficial to the people as a whole, as opposed to the same money used on the next best. Then you can have governments pay for it.
Then you need to prove the herd effect is very useful. Then you can have the government ask everybody to use it.
All of these things about Gardisil have been proven safe and effective using this thing called "science". If you don't believe in the science then your are an "anti-vaxxer".
It's highly unlikely that this twisted logic decision was made by a "low level bureaucrat". More likely a "high level bureaucrat" (i.e. Christie) is hiding something which would be politically embarrassing.
I reads the speed limit signs on the side of the road. It's pretty accurate. It will also adjust the cruise control to the speed limit +/- a delta that you select.
Yes, far too many whingers here (as usual). They each have their own definition of "meaningful use" to DQ Ubuntu. Meanwhile, Ubuntu just keeps expanding its reach.
Get a Tesla. Automatic software updates every few weeks add features. Autopilot, improved UI, better performance, etc. Best car ever... Zero emissions.
The big Lexus has a weight of about 4500 lbs and gets 18 MPG. The Tesla weights a bit more but is about the same size car. If you're looking a the smaller Lexus models, they have less room and get better MPG. I do power my Tesla with solar cells. I have a grid tie system where I use the grid for storage, feeding the grid mostly during peak demand times and drawing power out at night. No net power drawn from the grid so no fossil fuel power used. California doesn't have any coal power so no chance to displace coal generation. Sorry you couldn't afford the Tesla. It's an expensive car and if you don't put a cost on pollution, it's not economical. If you have the attitude that "nothing I can do will make a difference" (because of... China) then you don't need to do anything... and that's just sad. My electric car driving for the past year has reduced carbon emissions by about 6 metric tons.
You buy a Prius to save on gas and sacrifice comfort and style. A better comparison to the Tesla which is a much bigger and more comfortable car would be to compare it to a Mercedes S class or Audi A8. These get 15-20 mpg, not the 50 of the Prius so to go 100 miles at $2.50/gallon (fuel up now... these prices won't last) would cost $15 - $20. At $0.50/gallon, you could get close to the same cost as a Tesla... about $3.50 per 100 miles. You are right, I didn't buy the Tesla to save money on fuel. I bought it so that I could stop using fossil fuel... the fuel savings (about $3000 a year) are just a bonus. (BTW, I power the Tesla with solar cells so no fossil fuel there, either).
You're not greedy. Most people are not greedy. There are, however, enough psychopathic people who are greedy and exploit the system. It's not an organized cabal, just greedy individuals and corporations. Corporations are (almost by definition), psychopathic so they don't have to feel guilt about bribery and greed. It's just normal business.
I can see that you are a neophyte in these things (being newly rich). Here are a few pointers to get you started. First, you may not even need a law. If you are a rich and white, the oligarchy will just let this behavior pass as eccentricity and you will probably get away with it with no consequences. (However, if you skin is darker than lily white, absolutely do not try this as you will be executed on sight.) Second, it you want to make this legal your best best to to bribe a single congressman who will quietly attach a "rider" to some big unrelated bill where no one will notice and it will pass then you will be good to go. You can probably get this for less than $100,000. You really should set your sights higher than this, though. Most rich folks and corporations go for special exemptions from tax and regulations or favoritism in awarding federal contracts. That way, you can profit handsomely from your bribes (rather than just indulging some personal fantasy) at the expense of all of the "little people" who have to pay tax and don't get these benefits.

If you take an infinite number of 3D printers, they will eventually make a decent car.

You get vaccinated. You don't get the disease. You don't die.
Is that so hard to understand?
There are no reported deaths from the vaccine. Zero risk of death from the vaccine.
Zero. None. Nada.
No risk of death.
No one has died.

What makes you think I'm not a dog?
(Sorry about the typo but it was funny...)
I reads the speed limit signs on the side of the road. It's pretty accurate. It will also adjust the cruise control to the speed limit +/- a delta that you select.
The science shows that it keeps getting warmer.
Perhaps we should be concerned.

Gas would have to be 50 cents a gallon to compete with the cost to charge a Tesla.
The Tesla grin never wears off.
