    how is that any kind of argument when ASCII is even older?

    It's a counter to an argument that was irrelevant to start with.

    Can you think of ANY good reason to stay stuck in 1972

    Sure. English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch haven't added any new letters since then.

    when better, well-established standards are available?

    Let me know when they are.

  2. Young person with natural skills wants to learn from the master, but master resists. Then eventually drops some wisdom, but padwan still needs some experience to really get it, because they are strong willed.

    Like Lightning McQueen and Dusty Crophopper.

    With the added bonus of better plot, dialogue, and character development.

    A refreshingly concise answer, for once ;-)

  4. Is it harmonized in the sense that you have to do it? Or in the sense that if you do it you must do it on these dates?

    I can remember when the UK wasn't in alignment, you you'd be on the same time as Paris for a week at one end, and out by two at the other. And now, thanks to Nigel Farage we'll be able to do it again! That'll stick it to the boche!

    Unless there are some years without a summer (there hasn't been one for 200 years) that's irrelevant when looking at trends.

    It'll influence a decision to go now or to wait three months, but not whether to go at all.

    For that to work it'd almost have to be government-owned and government-run, funded by taxpayer money.

    They tried that with healthcare. Didn't work. #deathpanels. Believe me folks a hundredandeleventyone.

  10. guaranteed the US will have another financial meltdown sometime in the coming years.

    It doesn't matter, because the true patriots - the 1% - will have bought either their own private islands or citizenship in some tax haven.

    The minimum wage is intended to provide such annual earnings as for the lowest-paid worker to meet his minimum needs. That's what it was created for.

    Normally, he responds along the lines that those jobs are for teens who live at home. Or women, who rely on a man to provide the essentials. Or black people, who don't like to live in houses anyway.

    I wonder if the gun that he brags about keeping taped to the underside of his dining table - with one under the hammer - has come loose and blown his brains out. Wouldn't that be a shame?

    That means the guy at the bottom... we need grocery baggers and burger flippers; he deserves to be recognized as an important part of the economy.

    He hasn't come back with his usual "those jobs aren't intended for people to make a living at" response yet?

    We owe these people support. We owe it to them to carry them to the next job. We owe it to them to keep them out of poverty when their wage isn't enough.

    That explains it. He probably had an aneurysm when he read that.

  20. there is no direct correlation between being black and dying earlier

    You appear to be using "correlation" to mean "causation".

    A correlation can't be direct or indirect; it's a mathematical fact reflecting how changes in one variable correspond to changes in another. It says nothing about how or why.

    Wrong. Productivity is output per unit of input. Usually the input is labour hours.
