Is all your grain hand-harvested? Then it's probably not "cruelty-free" - there's absolutely no way a hundred-acre field can be harvested without knowing that some mouse or snake has been run through the combine with your "cruelty-free" grains. Mowing a field of alfalfa can reduce the population of small rodents by up to 50%.
Yep, it's all a big nationalist conspiracy to drop the hammer on the big evil Korean megacorporation in favor of the local megacorporation instead. Yes, that was sarcasm.
Now only if politicians would worry about getting shit done, and letting history take care of itself.
I doubt FDR gave a shit about legacy when he was sending the US Marines into the South Pacific, or the US Army into Europe. Kennedy wasn't legacy shopping when he challenged the country to land on the moon only 4 months into his Presidency.
This idea that you can just deliver some pie-in-the-sky plan on your way out the door and expect anything to happen is just ridiculous.
Well, I guess it's just too hard and we should just all go home.
Or maybe he could try to get some funding for some research, which could come up with a solution to the problem. If only the government had a department full of scientists and engineers that could get to work on that. Some kind of space administration that could assemble the talent necessary to tackle problems like this...
I do think it's stupid that he's suggesting this now that we're 7.8 years into his maximum of 8 years he can be President though. If you want to mock something, that should be at the top of your list.
Yeah, because there were a lot of ICBMs that used Saturn boosters.
Gemini used boosters from the Air Force that were retrofitted to make them "man rated" but Apollo was WAY bigger than anything the military wanted at the time. They were working on making things smaller and cheaper.
Yeah, I'm sure that Samsung is dropping their flagship phone product and undergoing a second recall that will do billions of dollars worth of damage to customer confidence because it's just one replacement that had a problem.
Or, maybe they know more about the issue then they are releasing? Perhaps it's a fundamental design flaw that will take more than swapping some battery cells?
And having a replaceable battery does jack shit if the charging controller / firmware is the problem, which is likely implemented in the phone itself to bring down the cost of the batteries.
Are you serious? Every single media outlet bigger than a weekly classifieds publication would trip over themselves to find some more dirt on this guy. Why do you think everyone has gone ape shit over this tape of him talking about being a sex offender?
No, but being a braggart rich guy who never seems to know when to shut the hell up has made his life public for as long as the Clintons have been in national politics.
I'd never heard of Donald Trump before I saw SNL skits in the 90s making fun of him based on the very public adulterous divorce from his first wife.
Well, the conclusion comes from the other candidate having exactly zero chance to stand up to Wall Street. No, that doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever.
Your metaphor needs improvement. Garbage disposals usually are something that you put waste into, it gets ground up, and goes down the pipe.
Trump is more like a garbage disposal that is missing a splash guard, and has a clogged exit pipe - the garbage goes in, and then explodes back out of the hole all over the kitchen.
Why the fuck would Russia be trying to get more Uranium for weapons? They already have shitloads of already-enriched Uranium, to the point where they've been SELLING IT TO THE UNITED STATES since 1994 after de-enriching it from weapons grade into reactor grade.
You are confusing financial disclosure with tax returns.
Tax returns don't show shit about individual investments, just aggregate profit (or loss) from investments, and the tax owed (or credited) based on that outcome.
Financial disclosure forms, which are actually required to be filed by the FEC, show individual investments pertaining to conflict of interest. It's also why many candidates put their assets into a "blind trust" before taking office - so they have no control over any of it while in a position to create policy, avoiding the potential conflict of interest.
How fast do you think Obama's nominee will move through the Senate should Hillary win the election? How much faster if the election hands the Senate gavel to Chuck Schumer?
I'm guessing you are going to see a lame duck session come together very rapidly, just to move a moderate candidate into that vacant seat before the equation possibly changes in January to allow a more liberal justice to be nominated.
Then do it. Find an Android smartphone with the performance of iPhone 7, the cameras, the features - all for $100.
Put up or shut up. I know you won't be able to, because no Android phone has the performance alone, much less the other stuff. And the best performing Android phones are far more than $100.
So prove me wrong. Link a $100 Android phone that has the performance of an iPhone 7.
It's possible they would still have to recall the whole phone, if the issue is in the charging circuit, and that circuit / controller is not on the battery which can be replaced.
Besides, if they didn't immediately have all the batteries needed for the recall, you're just as screwed with a battery recall on a replaceable unit, because you still don't have a working battery.
The odds of it being easier / cheaper do go up though. But it's far from certain.

It must be getting closer to the election - we've almost reached Peak Shilling.
He violated the Cuba embargo, but it's okay because he stiffed someone on the bill. That's this election's version of "but I didn't inhale."
Did she have classified state secrets in her email too?
If so, go ahead and get the Grand Jury to indict her too. Oh, wait...
Extrapolating further, that's 2.83 million person-years worth of food and energy we have to come up with.
Thanks, Obama!

Stop deluding yourself.
Yep. Successor. Thanks for cleaning that up. I must have been distracted by... a thing.
Pure FUD. The adapter they ship is bi-directional. An X-ray of the adapter reveals both a DAC for audio output, and an ADC for input to the phone.
Go tell lies somewhere else, we're all stocked up here.
Now only if you could depend on cheap shitty chargers to actually only provide 5VDC as advertised.
I had one that fried my Raspberry Pi model B, I tested it with a multimeter and it was putting out 8.6VDC.
News flash: shitty unregulated garbage is shitty, and garbage.
Yep, it's all a big nationalist conspiracy to drop the hammer on the big evil Korean megacorporation in favor of the local megacorporation instead. Yes, that was sarcasm.
You sound like a moron. That bit was not sarcasm.

I agree that a President in his last 100 days probably shouldn't be writing checks that his predecessor likely will not keep.
I disagree that Apollo was a stunt. The materials science and computer technology alone was worth the cost.
More like the Chevrolet Corvair - driving along normally and then OMG I'M IN A DITCH.
Yeah, I'm sure that Samsung is dropping their flagship phone product and undergoing a second recall that will do billions of dollars worth of damage to customer confidence because it's just one replacement that had a problem.

Unless it's firmware in a tiny microcontroller that is not updateable. Because that's never happened before.
And having a replaceable battery does jack shit if the charging controller / firmware is the problem, which is likely implemented in the phone itself to bring down the cost of the batteries.
People are not looking, or are unwilling?
