Can't you just as easily call a car service? I live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. I never take a yellow cab anywhere in Manhattan, I always ride the subway (or drive if I need a car for work.) If I'm in Brooklyn and I'm feeling lazy or just tired I call a car service. The other option would be to allow this app to contact a car service for you. Why does it need to hail a yellow cab?
This post exactly. It's not that a hot dog with ketchup and fries is a perfect pairing of food, it's just what you might be used to growing up so eating one is often attributed to the other. I don't think tacos and Pepsi are a perfect pairing but whenever I go to Taco Bell I want Pepsi with my meal. I never noticed this till I stopped drinking soda, the meal tastes odd without the Pepsi because that's what I used to drink every time I went.
I work in NYC and it the walk to and from my office off the subway can smell very very awful on days where its hot and there was just a garbage pickup. All I could think was "Why isn't there a better method of collecting trash in the city other than leave it outside to rot till someone picks it up." There arent even trash cans to hold the bags, so all the "garbage juice" collects on the sidewalk and reaks. I couldn't really think of any good easy to implement and maintain methods (and this certainly doesn't sound easy) but I'm impressed someone actually came up with and implemented this system.
Didn't read the article but don't your feet move a further distance at a higher rate of speed than your knees? Or is it the bending movement of the knees that helps generate electricity?
That would put the police in danger, getting in that close while you're surrounded by people who may or may not want to hurt you. The police are trained to avoid putting themselves in that sort of situation. Plus the amount of physical force required to pry them apart might have sent people to the hospital with real injuries (bruises mostly but more than "owie my eyes sting".) There were two people sent to the hospital treated and released, I'd be willing to bet that they had absolutely no need to go to the hospital. They likely only went because they know if they go and ham it up, claim brutality and can fake some injuries well enough they can sue the police department for using excessive force. It doesn't seem like anyone has done that though so likely no one was injured.
So your answer is "The cops should have sat around pissed off at protestors"? If the police arest someone who just threw a brick through your window, and some OWS guys surround the police, the police should just sit around and do nothing because the protestors are being peaceful?
Lots of people claim the police overstep their bounds all the time but never provide a practical alternative. And yes lots of times the police overstep their bounds but I don't think this is one of those times.
Yes I totally see your point the police overstepped their bounds, I can't believe the hell these protestors went through. You see how they're rolling around holding their faces and screaming after the pepper spray hits them. Oh wait they're not, it actually seems like none of them are the slightest bit phased by the pepper spray. So either these are super protestors who eat nails for breakfast, or whatever they're being sprayed with isn't nearly half as bad as you think it is. Plus, after the video when the police manage to finally make a hole you can see at least a dozen officers walking through with a few protestors bound with zip ties.
So basically the protestors were blocking the police from going where they needed to go, the police asked repeatedly for the protestors to move, the police warned the protestors they will be pepper sprayed, the police sprayed the protestors (which again, didn't seem to phase them) and then the police managed to pull one of the protestors out and make an opening to allow the blocked police to make their way through.
Should they have waited longer? Should they have asked nicer? Would you rather have seen the night sticks come out?
Imagine you were carrying a couch out of your house (or any sort of dead weight which would be the detained protestors the police were trying to get through) and you find your entire block is surrounded by OWS protestors holding arms together. You have to get this couch past them eventually and there's no way around to do it. You can't throw the couch cause it'll break (or it'll pretend to be broken, upload a video of you "breaking" it on Youtube and have you suspended), you can't step over the protestors cause the couch is too heavy and you already tried asking them to move but they told you they'll only move if you put the couch back. What do you do?
From just his comment it sounds like they were sitting in the middle of a street blocking the crosswalk, which is not only illegal it's also dangerous (especially in NYC.) Most of the OWS people I've seen who are the "victims" of police brutality put themselves into situations where they know they will be forcibly removed just so they can claim brutality. They're not protesting they're being douchebags enticing violence so they have something to point to and say "Look we're victims!" And yes pepper spray is probably the best option considering the second option is beating them with a nightstick till they unlock their arms so you can physically move them one at a time.
Unless of course you have a much more effective method to use in that sort of situation that doesn't put the officer in harms way...
Sorry I just can't let this slide, cite something. What has he done that is so left leaning. I didn't like Obama before he was elected because I knew "Hope and change" was bullshit to get him elected. Now that he's been president for a few years a lot of people who supported him during his campaign seem to agree with me, so i just have to ask, what has he done that so radically changed the face of this country that republicans refer to him as far left leaning?
Works fine until something breaks. Whenever I would have a customer using a really old computer (like the one you mention) I try to get their software working on a new(er) PC ASAP. I don't remove their old system or stop using it completely I just check that it's possible to use newer hardware since one day that machine is going to break and it's much easier setting up a backup of a working system than it is to try to rebuild the entire thing with no software/disks.
Maybe it's because i'm on a mobile device (Droid 3 with the included browser), but that site just seems like an ad filled annoying to use waste of bandwidth. After I changed the sea level once it wouldn't let me change it again, and somehow from the summary I imagined something that looked much cooler than google maps.
Speaking as someone born and raised in NYC all I have to say is, what... the... fuck!
I did a glance over the summary and thought 'Oh some bible belt city banned mentioning dinosaurs on city tests, hah!' Then I did a double take and read NYC...
We have community pools, the natural history museum that every city school seems to visit (featuring the only thing most kids remember, THE DINOSAUR EXHIBIT) and paintings of the virgin mary made from elephant shit. If there was a place any of these things might offend a group of people, this isn't it!
I can't believe this PC bullshit actually made it past the board of ed without any parents kicking up a shitstorm...
Or you can also just watch that section on youtube

When Are You Dead?
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Exactly. People always say "Well what if they don't revive you and you could have been saved!" Honestly who cares? At the point of no return (my organs are being removed) I'm dead anyway! I'm not going to be sitting around for years looking back and thinking "Oh man I wish those doctors tried harder to save me" I'll be dead. Then anything they want to do with my body after that (organ donation, filming another Weekend at Bernie's) is completely up to them. I'd prefer to be useful to someone after death and telling me that there's a chance I might not be fully 100% dead before they officially pronounce me dead just because i'm an organ donor isn't going to change that.
Perhaps because people feel that heart disease is a fat/old person problem? Its not always the case but that's how it's portrayed on TV and movies. The fat/old person does some very strenuous activity and they have a heart attack. People see that and think 'Well I'm not fat or old, my heart has no problems! But even Lance Armstrong had cancer and he's in way better shape than me!'
From my understanding of dark matter, isn't it likely yhat they're looking at two entirely different types of matter? I thought dark matter was just matter that we can't "see" but can detect due to it's gravitational effect on visible light. So why would it be so far fetched to think there's more than one type of matter in the universe that we can't currently directly observe?
I work in a computer shop and I've set up numerous ADF scanners, none of which cost more than $3,000 and most of which were $1,500. They all seem to work great and I've heard no complaints of jams or picking up extra paper. They're almost all small (like a small inkjet) scanners without a flatbed, and they all operate in the 30+ ppm range and support scanning over a network. A few Fujitsu's, a few Canon's and one monstrous and very old HP SCSI scanner (comes with a flatbed as well) and none of them so far as I can tell have had any issues jamming or missing pages
Well 44 years for those of us observing from Earth. Much less time for those of us making the journey (assuming they're traveling at the speed of light or close to it.) Still that is a huge if. Though radio contact with an intelligent and sufficiently technicially advanced species that close would be very possible.

18-25 year olds don't think bad things could happen to them.
On the bright side an 18-25 year old probably doesn't have much worth stealing.
If they're in I.T. then they probably still have their virginity. You could steal that.
Like the previous post said, not much worth stealing...

The police had detained protestors inside the circle and walking them over isn't an option (they wouldn't go willingly.)
Yes I totally see your point the police overstepped their bounds, I can't believe the hell these protestors went through.
