Where to begin? Denial of reading the classics. The elimination of poetry and Shakespeare. Replacement with texts designed to limit vocabulary and more importantly, limit thinking. The almost assured dropout rate of at least 34% as the kids too stupid to achieve common core drop out from frustration and the kids too smart for common core drop out from boredom.
It's likely great for the 68% of the kids in the middle of the bell curve, but universal literacy is not going to be accomplished under it anymore.
In Oregon, there's actually a program to make "Double-Dipping" legal. Basically, if you can find a way through self employment to earn up to 25% of your unemployment check, you can. If you earn more than 25%, your check is reduced dollar for dollar to 125%, at which point it disappears (and presumably, at which point you're the equivalent of fully employed at about $1 over minimum wage anyway, and no longer need the check).
Right now, the market is so muddled I can't even tell from my non-functioning state website whether I qualify for subsidies or not, let alone be willing to put 1/6th of my paycheck towards health insurance that has such a huge deductible it will only pay if I get in a major accident.
I mean that he's being judged by modern standards. By the standards of the Spaniards, Italians, and Carib of his time, everything he did was perfectly justified (for instance, long before the Spanish arrived, it was quite common to raise money for the family in the Carib culture to sell children into slavery- the Spanish just brought a new market).
Grosseteste was the church. The only science of the day was theology, and his model is a special case of the exact same theology that led to the theory of the Big Bang later.
Crowdsource it. At $300/stupid environmentalist, or $8 for every person on earth. The slush alone above the $50 billion you'll raise ought to be plenty.
Oh wait- $8 is more than *half the population of the planet makes in a week*.
It's either the Peter Principle or the Dilbert Principle, depending on the business. Has almost nothing to do with government, and everything to do with either promoting people past their competency or hiring sociopaths who don't know the first thing about what a man with ability looks like because they have an MBA from Phoenix.
The dirty little secret- it isn't hard at all if you are willing to compensate adequately (including, if necessary, training to create men of ability).
How Microsoft has gone backwards: In Visual Studio 2012, I barely get 73 columns of text when I first open. After moving all the side windows of metacode to the other monitor, I get a more respectable 125 columns.
"Bad Trip" is used to describe any situation where a person has an emotional experience that they are having trouble handling.
There's another definition- any situation where a person has such reduced cognitive ability that their actions preclude survival. The stereotype is the guy who thinks he is superman and tries to stop the locomotive, but other similar situations exist.
Exactly what I was thinking. I've known too many suicides in my life on bad trips, from the "I can fly off a 20 story building" to the "I'm superman and I can stop a train" to not know that LSD affects the instinct for survival.
The only other advice I have to give, is check out the free tools that surround the areas you are interested in. Expanding closed source software is still a money pit, and perhaps always will be.
So are some of these vaccines. In fact, for some of the weakened-virus instead of killed-virus variety, some of these vaccines *are* the disease they are hoping to prevent.
What are the real risks of vaccines? Incredibly hard to tell when even the CDC uses weasel words like "risk of death is extremely small" instead of giving us a percentage from the study- and the original white papers are always paywalled and copyrighted. You can't calculate risk without knowing actual numbers.

And 78% of the test with a ruler and marking column C.
Gates only supports the common core because it will create students stupid enough to buy Windows 9.
The problem being that Common Core is a step *away* from universal literacy.
I have insurance through my wife's union- which is a union of daycare owners. Was the only way to get insurance prior to this year.
My point is that obamacare didn't really fix anything at all- it raised costs, not lowered them.
This article explains the hidden urban thought completely and why rural thought is different.

Is the day I'll sign up for my own insurance.

Won't do a lick of good, I'm on Bonneville Power.

So basically another way we could raise the money to defeat King Coal would be to use Exxon's taxes?
Yep. Because he wore that funny outfit in his portrait in the article for the fun of it!
Just look at recent scholarship on Christopher Columbus.

Oregon's far enough.

First *concentration* was 1938.
Morning glories did not evolve overnight in 1938, nor apricot seeds, nor any of the other plants this drug can be concentrated from.

Wow, mod parent up.
