The best calendar reform schemes seem to involve a year made up of four quarters, with months of 30, 30 and 31 days. The months start on Monday, Wednesday and Friday within each quarter. But to make it all balance out we add a New Year's day at the front, and on the regularly peer cycle a leap year Day between the second and third quarter.
What is the point of that system? It's easier to remember which months have how many days?
Nah, it's been this way since at least the founding of the United States. Those with power want to suppress those who don't have it. For an example, look at the US Alien and Sedition acts of the 1700s.
That's why we have the first amendment: the founders knew that freedom of speech is something that gets suppressed (because it is so powerful).
Fracking technology can be profitable as low as $36 a barrel, and the technology is still improving. So don't expect prices to go back to 2008 levels; they won't for a long time.
And that is why democracy is a good method for providing legitimacy for government... but it's a shitty way to decide whether something is actually correct.
It's more a way to answer the question of, "what should we do?"
I'm really interesting to see if the RNC will let him actually represent them
Yes, because the alternative would mean they lose power. That is why the parties have survived so long: they adapt easily, without prejudice. When the "old guard" gets too much of a hold on a party, then the party dies.
Rolling Stone had an unusually insightful analysis of Trump. I suggest everyone read it.
Basically, every single politician running is fake, there for show, and lying to you. Trump is just better at the game.
If you want to know what Trump would be like as a president, his concrete plans, it would be the same as he's always done: build things. He's serious about building a beautiful, great wall of Trump (beautiful in his eyes only). For things he doesn't care about, he'll listen to his advisers. Oh, and he'll destroy ISIS.
Number two, what if the warrant asked for impossible things.
This is something that's been dealt with in legal theory. If you disobey a court order, then you can be thrown into jail for contempt of court. However, you cannot be thrown into jail if the task given to you is impossible (a more common example might be, a court requires a divorcee to give the car to his ex-wife. However, the man cannot comply, because he has already sold the car). IANALBIC (I am not a lawyer but I'm cool)
Maybe, but the Republican Establishment should take responsibility for the situation of embracing Jeb Bush as their chosen candidate. That was a foolish move there. I'm glad Bush* are out.
When you want to sell in China, you need to decide if you can follow their rules. If you can, then you can sell there. In the USA, where Apple was formed, you can follow the rules also, and Apple has helped the police and FBI with plenty of warrants and probably non-warranted assistance
Indeed, if the US government says that Apple must remove encryption from its phone, then Apple will certainly comply. They may fight it, but if it comes to the end, they will comply.
The primary difference is that the US people have more of a say in directing the actions of the US government. Will the government make a law saying Apple can't decrypt by default? It's up to us and our fellow citizens.
I'm sure with a history of political characters like McCarthy, Hoover, Nixon etc. that this won't be abused in the future./s
The amazing thing with the NSA program is how quickly it was abused. Almost every abuse you can think of has already happened, and almost as soon as the program was implemented. Love INT? Yup. Spying on politicians? Yup. Influencing elections? Maybe.
no matter how carefully and respectfully I explain.
You're probably not being respectful. You probably look down on the for being creationist, and probably also for being stupider than you (and frankly, they probably are stupider than you).

But a lot of the battery breakthroughs do pan out. Remember what laptop batteries were like in 2000?
How cheap would it have to get to become reasonable to cut yourself off completely from the grid?
Reading an analysis and thinking critically about it is the opposite of trusting, you dingbat.
That's a good interview
Fracking technology can be profitable as low as $36 a barrel, and the technology is still improving. So don't expect prices to go back to 2008 levels; they won't for a long time.
The way I saw someone put it, the parties have become "incubators" or "accelerators" for third party candidates.
And that is why democracy is a good method for providing legitimacy for government... but it's a shitty way to decide whether something is actually correct.
It's more a way to answer the question of, "what should we do?"
There are so many different ideas for re-doing our time system that we have to categorize them to keep track of them all.
Some are better than others, but none is enough of an improvement to make it worth the switch.

Fear and outrage. Can't get anything done without outrage. They're two sides of the coin.

To be fair, Megan Kelly was a corporate lawyer before becoming a TV host. She is not a wilting daisy, and not many people can stand up to her easily.
He chose to repeat it. He knew what he was doing. Here's a really good analysis of Trump, and his opponents.
Frankly I don't care if he calls anyone a pussy. I just wish we could get a presidential candidate who is competent.

You know, if I were that obnoxious when trying to explain things, I'd never change anyone's mind.
That's true, you are correct.
Even liquified sugar turned out to be more dangerous.
none of those things are "indulge in superstition."
No time for that.
Most people get bored trying to figure out what to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon
I really feel sorry for those people.

Nice.
