Huh. I sure didn't guess that one, but maybe it makes sense?
the "direction of the cross" would likely have been a male boar or pig (Sus scrofa) with a female chimp (Pan troglodytes), and the offspring would have been nurtured by a chimp mother among chimpanzees. there's even a creepy possibility that hybridization might even still be occurring in regions where Sus and Pan still seem to come into contact, like Southern Sudan.
I didn't know that pigs and chimpanzees come in contact with each other that way, and it's still a little hard to believe.
What do you use them for? Especially the universal platform. That sounds like a platform that is the 'future' that will be gone soon, like VB6 and Silverlight.
Can anyone - anyone! - say with a straight face that we are closer to that scenario right now than we were, say, at the height of the Cold War?
I know plenty of people who sincerely believe that Trump is some kind of analogue of Hitler, so yeah, those people can definitely say that. I also knew people who sincerely thought that Obama was the anti-christ, so we're kind of insane as a country. We got the president we deserve.
Instead of going for the next 'big feature' they should focus on small, incremental improvements that make the user experience better. That's the kind of thing that keeps your customer base around and slowly expands it.
Yeah, the high cost of paying for college is a problem, you are right. If we can, I would like to help with that.
That wasn't the topic though: the topic was whether someone should have to work a part-time job in college. My answer is: yes, that is absolutely fine, stop being lazy.
the workload from college is often high enough that getting a part-time job would make their education and performance suffer.
It's really hard to be sympathetic about that when I, and most of my classmates, worked part-time jobs all through college. Also, summer jobs. Seriously, in most cases, working a part-time job just means you party less, not that your education performance suffers.
He constructs his sentences in a way that gives you plenty of freedom to interpret it how you want. You are right that his final sentence there is extremely ambiguous.
That is a problem, but they would be having problems even without that. Russia has a similar oil based economy, for example.
I specifically brought up the example of Venezuela because one of their problems is the tell companies, "You are charging too much." Then the companies find that they can't make profit with the requirements given to them, so they go out of business. (Then there are shortages of goods. Then the president accuses someone of hoarding, and finds a warehouse of stuff, showing it on tv. The incompetence is deep there, it's really not fair to blame it on one thing.)
Q: Would you cut departments?
TRUMP: Environmental Protection, what they do is a disgrace. Every week they come out with new regulations.
If you read this carefully, it's a clear example of Trump evasiveness. Note he didn't actually say that he would cut or get rid of the EPA. He didn't even mention the EPA directly by name, he said they do things that are disgraceful. Then in the next line he affirmed that he wouldn't get rid of it completely.
The quote is so sneaky that he can basically do anything and still live up to his promise. Not only that, everyone agrees that some things the EPA has done are bad.
and by old, I am starting to worry we are talking german mid 1930s.
Oh please, no more comparisons to Hitler. If you think someone/somegroup is bad, find another bad person to compare them to (which shouldn't be hard if you have any knowledge of history).
A washed up old awards ceremony struggling to remain relevant.
Maybe that's too harsh, but it's never something I watched except when there was nothing else good on tv.

I think the main problem is that great stories like this one don't happen every day.
Yeah whiner, when was the last time you helped out a homeless person?

"The ultimate goal is to grow functional and transplantable tissue or organs, but we are far away from that. This is an important first step."
If they are already growing human organs, how much farther do they have to go before they are transplantable?

Cloud Shell is said to be connected, in some way, with the Windows Store and Universal Windows Platform app framework,
Does anyone even use either of those?

and no one predicts that human civilization will end
Lies. Coal is the single greatest threat to civilization. He's a scientist, well respected, too.

This is all just propaganda to make him look like an evil rich guy.
Well......he is an evil rich guy.
I think you will find the major cause of their problems is the utterly obvious one no matter what sort of government it is.
Well maybe you'll feel better if I say directly I am not insulting socialist governments haha
then they should drive for UPS?
and interestingly Law is $420.
That's not surprising, in America a lot of law schools are just money grabs.

I didn't. I blamed it on their trying to control the economy too much.
It's ok, I've heard they have a contract with some Sicilians.
There was some sort of scene with them bouncing and throwing a ball.
Reminds me of the ending to A Wrinkle in Time
I wonder how much Bezos is spending to buy an Oscar?
Good point. Not only is it an old, irrelevant awards ceremony, it's been irrelevant for a long time because of how you can buy influence.
