Hell, I'm just trying to eat beef/animal products that are more natural than the normal stuff you see in the grocery stores.
I'd rather cut down my meat intake (quality over quantity), and have say beef, that is grass fed, allowed to eat what it normally eats, and not needing all the hormones and anti-biotics....
I'm certainly not wanting to swing the complete other day and have synthetic "dead animal".
Why are we trying to go so far away from foodstuffs that mother natures put on earth for us...?
It isn't like most of us (in the west) are starving or anything.
I don't understand. Is there some other prerequisite for residency rights besides... residency?
In most cases, you have to show proof of residency for 6mos or most often closer to a full year.
Most college students that are from out of state, are only there for the months college is in, often leaving for summer, and hence, never are there long enough to establish residency.
Sounds like the answer is right here, revoke this law.
I've never heard of such a thing....I was an out of state student at my college for all 4 years I went, I paid out of state tuition, etc.
I never was able to register and vote in that state, but I still could in my state of residence.
Aren't most states like this?
Anyway, why don't they change this back. Seems unfair to have transient folks voting and making regulations and taxes that true residents have to pay for later...
Serious question(s): What sites have you been to that don't allow you to zoom and what phone are you using? I've never had this issue on the last two phones I've had that have this type of zoom (Galaxy S3 and HD2).
For those of us complaining about waining eyesight and phones...it isn't the websites that much that are the problem, but the apps and icons themselves native to the phone.
You can't usually zoom the display of icons and normal apps on the phone.
And hell, I don't websurf that much on the phone anyway, too hard to see much on that even with zooming...and then having to move all around the screen to see anything. I do web stuff mostly at home or on the tablet, the phone is mostly native apps.
For countries that actually have privacy laws (the US doesn't, but many other countries do), this is clearly illegal. I would love to see some criminal cases filed against prominent figures in the US government...
Why would you think another country's privacy laws could be used against members of another country's government. They don't apply outside the original country's borders....
MI6 isn't allowed to spy on British citizens.
The NSA isn't allowed to spy on Americans.
But Britain and America are allies.
So MI6 let's the NSA spy in Britain and looks the other way.
The NSA lets MI6 spy in America and looks the other way.
Afterwards, like good allies, they "share intelligence" and now MI6 has all the surveillance data the NSA gathered in Britain, and the NSA has everything MI6 gathered in the USA.
A very very small fraction of blacks commit murder
But, most black males are killed by other black males.
And, blacks seem to commit more crime per capita than any other race in the US, by what seems to be a much greater degree than their numbers by % of the US population.
When I watch the local news, I mostly see black faces as those the cops are looking for for a crime, or have picked up for a crime, or are caught on crime cameras committing crimes.
I just don't see that many Japanese folks as being a problem for the crimes in most cities I visit and watch the news.....
If you're in the bathroom long enough to even need reading materials, something is very wrong.
Seriously?
From my experiences, and talking with friends, we ALL pretty much refer to the toilet as "the Library"...we all catch up on our reading while sitting on the can.
I figured it was just a guy thing, since most women I know have no clue why myself and my other male friends keep an assortment of reading material in the bathroom.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't being irregular or constipated, just that it does take more than 30 seconds to sit and shit...so, might as well catch up on reading while in there. And for so many of my married friends, it is a good opportunity for a little me time from the wife, as that that is the one place and time they won't try to follow them around.
My company, a mid-sized fabless semiconductor company, has been laying off engineers and offering them 16-30 hours per week positions via contract houses. The company gets to reduce their costs all around as a result, it pressures the staff they keep to work harder to avoid being the next one, and the people they let go usually take the contract work because it's still better than unemployment.
Why don't the engineers incorporate themselves, and just come back to do corp-to-corp 1099 contracting...and what way everyone is a winner?
The correct solution to amazon paying this little is just to raise the minimum wage for this job. If you don't want to do that, then you think this wage is fine.
???
I read the part about simple day laborers sorting boxes making nearly $12 / hour and was amazed....that's pretty high pay for manual, no education required, simple work.
I wouldn't have guessed hourly pay was that much for a grunt job like that.
And, no, forcing people to buy privately-run health insurance based on legislation written by the insurance industry is not socialism.
It is if you go with the assumption that they knew this would break things fiscally, and not work...and merely be a first step towards single payer by the Fed Govt, then yes, it would be socialists in nature.
When Obamacare was being legislated, many talking heads were saying that likely this was the case that this was merely a first step towards socializing medicine for the US, since they couldn't do it on fell swoop.
Bring in this version, break the bank, it doesn't work, but it disrupts everything so badly that "Single Payer" is the only way out...
Neither are bigots that think they aren't bigots despite an eagerness to assume some goofy kid is a dangerous criminal.
But, when said young man fits the description of those commiting crimes in that area (often pictured on camera footage on the news), is it being bigoted to be a little fearful when you see someone of that description approaching you just because there is a race difference?
I think it is more pattern observation, and you tend to be a bit reserved/alarmed/reactionary when you see someone that fits the description of those committing the most crimes in a certain area. Seems a natural self protections reaction more that unadulterated bigotry.
If one observes a pigeon shitting on all the cars in one area (under a statue perhaps), is it bigotry to be a little cautious parking your car and seeing a a pigeon heading your way....maybe you want to park somewhere else ?
Utter hypocrisy of moving employees off-book, into sub-contractor scams, where hours are guaranteed to be less than 30-per-week so as not to qualify for Obamacare - CHECK.
Err, this isn't something just with Amazon.
This is becoming a pretty widespread result of Obamacare...lots of places are reducing hours to keep from having to pay the new fees/taxes.
It isn't even doing it through subcontractors. I know of other businesses that are reducing hours to under 30. My Mom got caught up on this....and I know of others in the retail (national department stores) that are getting hit the same way.
Also, there's lots of small businesses that are hanging at the 49 employee number to avoid the Obamacare mandates.
Whether you agree with Obamacare in full, in part or not at all....I think most everyone can see that these two reactions in particular apparently weren't anticipated as side effects as widespread as they seem to be at this point.
While I agree in this case and SO many others of late, that the govt. / law enforcement is going so heavily handed (who breaks a butterfly on the wheel?) on so many cases today that just don't warrant it (this one included IMHO)...they didn't kill the young man, he decided to off himself.
Really??? Tagging is a mystery to you? Tags are an extremely common kind of metadata. This is a tech website that uses tags.
I've seen the tag thing here on slashdot, but I'd not seen it anywhere else on other sites I use..so, I figured it wasn't something so limited as that, to my perception.
And frankly, I've never really see the use for the 'tags' they have here on/., I can't find what they are really used for even here.
I'd heard about people tagging or identifying people in pictures on FB, but it didn't seem to be about that....and I'm not on FB, so not sure if it is used there.
So, I was just asking, the synopsis of the article seemed to assume everyone knows what they meant by 'tags'....as if they were so ubiquitous as to be common knowledge by everyone.
Your eyes, your heart, your nerves, and other organs benefit from eating organ meat.
For example, your heart benefits from the taurine in hearts.
Too much organ meat is bad for you from what I'd read....
That being said, I don't rely on dead animal protien for all my needs, I do try to balance out my protein needs from as much plant based foods as possible. I'm cutting back on animal proteins, and for the most part they are my pleasure eats, but not my main source of protein and nutrition.
Go to a market in rural China sometime. Those people will eat about anything (and I'm not even joking).
LOL, I said the first thing about the natives here in southern Louisiana when I first moved here, but they end up making it all taste good, so, I'm no longer the picky eater I was when I first moved down here.
I dunno..with reference too food and what I eat, I guess it has a lot to do with what I can afford.
I'd don't generally eat animal "guts" or offal...I can afford the better cuts.
I don't eat bugs because I don't have too.
That being said, I'm usually good to try almost anything once to give it a try, providing there is plenty of alcohol involved, and no eating of genitals (no, I don't want any animals' balls no matter what the preparation is).
I don't feel limited in any way by my food choices either...and I'm certainly not starving.
I guess I'll have to click the links and read and see if a definition of tagging is in the linked article...but I couldn't surmise from the synopsis what tagging referred to.
Well, to be fair, there are a good number of women who enjoy that and will hate your guts if you try to get them to do anything else.
Hey, I'm not being critical or it, nor am I complaining.....I like that so many of them like that too!!
Fun position for everyone....but just was illustrating a point, and let's face it, the person that is not on all fours face down...is in charge of the situation.
People who want 4K video in their homes, for one. Or even decent high-def. I've watched streaming video, and the picture quality just doesn't cut it for me even on a laptop screen, much less on my widescreen TV.
Thank you!!
I didn't buy a nice 59" plasma tv, hooked too good audio, to watch crappy content on it...
For some stuff like TV shows or older stuff, sure a stream is ok, but when I want to watch a newer movie, in FULL definition, and sound, I rent a BluRay. I buy very few movies, but I do buy a few concerts on BR.
Not everyone watches all their media hunched around a 15" computer screen, some of us have living rooms and/or entertainment rooms where we appreciate large HD images and sound.
Its a large reason I don't feel terribly inclined very often to go watch a movie out in a theater, they have a hard time competing with my system, which by the way...has a fully stocked bar very near by.

Man, who's writing the article synopsises (sp?) these days?
Lately they're assuming some fairly arcane things are common knowledge....
Why would you think another country's privacy laws could be used against members of another country's government. They don't apply outside the original country's borders....
They already do this...have been for awhile.
I'd guess that would have to do with the citizens of the UK already being so used to being under surveillance ...with all the cameras everywhere.
They've been there awhile too...and remember:
"What one generation accepts, the next generation embraces."
But, most black males are killed by other black males.
