I think that's how I remember it... "Ask not what your country can do for you, because we only do what's cheap and easy." Must be the new American anthem.
Well, that's what you have to do when the country is in DEEP debt, and about half the population is leeching and paying no net federal taxes, not to mention that no one seemingly wants to work any more (unless it is their 'dream' job, that starts out right outta school at $125K or better).
I've tried and 2600 picture tears, or is static...same thing with different units on my different TV's I cannot get any 2600 unit to display on any HDTV I try.
My main one is a Samsung Plasma 59", last of the plasmas....and I have tried everything to get the old games to play on them.
I'm just hoping it will let me play Kaboom...hooked to a modern HDTV....and not have to try to kludge running though an old VCR or the like to try to get it to sync with my LCD/Plasma/OLED tvs.....never have been able to get that old original 2600 to work right with video on modern tv.
Quit letting people from terrorist prone countries or parts of the world into YOUR country...where they refuse to assimilate and become pots of festering terrorist ideology waiting to unleash itself into the host country.
Troll?
Wow...this is a perfectly valid point of view, unless you don't believe a country should have sovereignty and the right to protect its borders and regulate who comes into your country....
isn't it about time they hired you on full time? If it's occasional work maybe not, but it sounds like your full time job.
It's Federal Govt. contracting....they renew the contracts about every 3 years...and you just get picked up on the next contract vehicle, doing the same stuff.
A little hard to get in, but once you get your foot in the door...no sweat.
I started out working same contracts, but as a W2 employee of the contracting house....but from there, switched later to 1099 with the prime and secondary to prime contracts.
There are no questions at all as to wether you are an employee or contractor....and yes, if you are good, can network...it can be a VERY long term gig.
This is one federal agency recently, but prior to that, was with other agency for almost 11 years, doing basically 3 different things, but same agency and mostly same people.
The early crusades were against heretics of all sorts
I think you're confusing the Inquisition with the Crusades.
Regardless....all the other religions have civilized and aren't in the business of widespread killing of those not of their particular brand of religion...except for the stone age Muslims.
It is they who need to come into the 21st century and learn to live and tolerate others.
Many of the other religions aren't perfect, but they're a darn site better and SAFER than the present day muslims.
Someone should have told the Aboriginals & Native Americans that a long time ago
That was a LONG time ago and different situation...the lands of the world were all up for grabs....war is not terrorism.
Now we have decided who has what land and civilizations formed....and now we have people just blowing up and shooting people, and slashing them...for theological reasons.
Most of civilization has come a long way...these throwback religious zealots have not and they are the problem, that needs to be addressed.
Hmm..I guess the crusades were some type of party.
Bad example...the Crusades were a reaction to the Muslims overtaking the "Holy Land"...and not letting Christians in....it was a defensive move back in the day.
Once again, the Muslims were the initial aggressors.
The cities are shitholes in large part because we've got these welfare queens living in the middle of nowhere that we have to subsidize. And to make it worse, the shitheads in those small towns continually vote against measures that would increase the wealth generating power of cities, so they can get a tiny tax break.
You might want to first address "ground central" of the welfare queens....Big Cities and the ghettoes they seem to foster as their courts.
Talk to the rest of us after you get that all cleared up, eh?
Oooh, how original. Which piece of shit Abrahamic faith is your favorite? Let me guess. Christianity.
You know, when we have radical Presbyterians running around, driving trucks through crowds on holidays, gunning down co-workers on Xmas party days, and bombing outside of concerts and just generally shooting and blowing up groups of innocent people....we can start worrying about those damned jihadist Christians then....but, until then, why don't we try to address the problems folks at hand now, eh?

Not to mention, working from home as a introvert, fantastic, working from home as an extrovert, sure way to go nuts. I worked from home and enjoyed roasting a chicken for lunch, only takes a few minutes to set up at morning smoko and then set the timer and work. You check every time you stop work for your always favourite coffee and snack, always there. Then at lunch out comes the fresh roast chicken and you enjoy a great repast as you have an extended relaxing lunch whilst watching a movie and than back to work. All done in your shorts because you started work as soon as you woke up, no time lost doing anything else, except for a morning cuppa and relieving yourself as necessary. You can get a huge amount of work done by more than enough by 3 oclock even with a long lunch, stop there or work into the early evening and take the whole afternoon off tomorrow.
Ditto!!
My eating habits are GREAT working from home...I have time to take something out to thaw in mornings if I want....I've also fired up my smoker in mornings, or rotisserie on ceramic grill for lunches...it is nice to have time and full kitchen to cook and eat good meals.
And if I'm low on food, I take my "lunch break" to run up the road to grab some veggies or whatever and bring it home to cook.
I find the main problem with this...is having to make sure I hit MUTE on the phone on teleconferences if I"m eating something crunchy!!!
For the past approx. 5+ years, I've been working on a contract gig, large federal govt. agency.....from home.
Everyone on the teams, work remotely, all across the US, and there is NO problem in getting things done.
This is all IT work. Servers are in data centers we hit remotely, we have teleconferences for meetings...IM for screen shares if needed.
It works great. No problems her, and yet...most of the folks I work with, I have no idea what they look like, or anything about them other than their voices.
Frankly, I LOVE this work mode. I do my job, I'm home for package deliveries (no more getting stolen off porch)...you can be doing things around the house even while on conference calls (yay for headsets)....
And my commute is a blistering walk across the hall from my bedroom to my office.
Frankly, I get MUCH more done at home these days, than I did in the office....and doing it as a contractor is great as that I get to bill for all hours worked.
Sure, I'm available more often...but I always get paid for it too.
Reminds, me, I need to check with my CPA to see if I can write off boxer shorts and t-shirts as work attire.

Hmm...we use gas for heating and cooking here...
Of course, it never gets that cold here, but I surely NEVER want to give up my gas range for electric....ugh, that is NO way to cook (electric).
It would be cool to have a solar powered ELECTRIC fence on the border....fry anyone that tries to cross illegally.
Instant fajitas!!!

Not to mention, what happens when the computers crash (they always do)...you're gonna need Dr's to read films till the systems come back online....
Patients needing emergency reads won't simply go on hold till the computers come back online....

Good bill rates too....
Wow..I've never lived in a house that didn't have it...even OLD 100+ year old houses, had window units put in.
Then again, I've lived primarily in the south of the US or out in Arizona....neither place is really livable without AC.
I can't sleep very well in a place warmer than 71F at night...
And today present date....who should you fear violence from more...the IRA or whomever, or the muslim jihadists?
I"m not afraid of many Irish groups coming to my shores and flying planes into buildings or shooting up Xmas parties....

Most of civilization has come a long way...these throwback religious zealots have not and they are the problem, that needs to be addressed.
I have a couple that I use for online or large purchases...which I pay off in 30 days.
That being said, I prefer my daily and routine spending in cash...nicely untraceable, and private.
If local stores go cashless....they will also go customer-less as far as my patronization of said establishment goes....
Nah...I just happen to think the terms "Rap" and "Music" happened to be mutually exclusive terms....
There is plenty of "black" music I enjoy, if that's what you are trying to imply...that I don't like rap because it is black?
Most of my favorite music is the blues or blues derived music, and that came directly from US black artists.
And...the link you quoted me, I didn't say anything there about any particular race, now..did I?
Well, with the show them mentioned, "The Get Down"...easy to figure why it flopped....its subject matter.
Bad example...the Crusades were a reaction to the Muslims overtaking the "Holy Land"...and not letting Christians in....it was a defensive move back in the day.

Err...why would you not have A/C in your home?
I suppose you could just substitute "woman" for wife and have it a bit more generic.
It just happens...it is in their DNA.

I do make it a point to not FLASH it around, but I don't feel its a dangerous thing to carry....and I live in New Orleans.
Hell, these days, you're more likely to get mugged for your cell phone or get it stolen than anything else...
But..in the article, it said they were NOT using race as an AI training factor....so, it wasn't racial bias being programmed in.
