  1. But how would they attach the sharks?

    Please. Corporate profits are MUCH MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than mere human life!

    In 2008, UC was about $25000 per annum, including room and board.
    By 2015, it was about $30000.

    Thank the FSM both my wife and I had high paying jobs, because we were offered ZERO financial aid.

    It isn't. Because Harvard will give the kid from the family with 10K income a free ride (assuming he gets in at all).

  10. Re:It's about landmass on China, Europe Drive Shift To Electric Cars as US Lags (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I was referring to the fact that the Greater LA area is so spread out that a lot of people have 50-60 mile commutes. If said people do not have charging stations at the work location, they can't use a typical EV.

    Most people not from CA don't realize that the greater LA area is larger than some states. It consists of LA, Orange, San Bernadino, Riverside, and Ventura counties.

    Who will teach the librarians to code well enough so that they can pass on that knowledge to the kids?

  13. "Hey guys! Let's go out to ${BAR}!!!!! Oh wait, first we have to have a five minute training session with a doctor!!"

    Yeah. Right.

  14. Diabetics are trained to use their syringes.

    The idea of an epinephrine autinjector is that if you go into anaphylactic shock, someone else (who may be untrained) can use it on you.

    BFD. Try to RTFA. It's kind of hard to sell phone recorded audio to fans.

    This. I was a caregiver to my ALS-stricken wife for three years, and after she passed away, I was diagnosed with PTSD. It's not just combat that's stressful.

  17. From TFA:

    If you do decide to send any and all information Microsoft's way, the company promises that it won't use any of your information for the sake of targeted advertising.

    Meanwhile, on the screenshot right above this line is the option "Relevant Ads".

  18. Re:CDA was NOT written to protect free speech. on Supreme Court Will Not Examine Tech Industry Legal Shield (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Because they were taking action against the site, not the people posting the ads/content.

    The safe harbor provision of the CDA protects the website.

  19. CDA was NOT written to protect free speech. on Supreme Court Will Not Examine Tech Industry Legal Shield (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    It was written to DENY free speech -- specifically porn.

    It just had to have the happy side effect that, after the porn ban was ruled unconstitutional, the "safe harbor' provision stayed in effect.

    This.

    My GF and I went to the local iPic. For those of you who don't know what iPic is, it's one of those theatres with the massive reclining seats and in-seat service (including full bar). The theatre itself is excellent.

    One night we went out on a date, and wound up watching "Hardcore Henry". We walked out 20 minutes into the movie. The theatre offered us seats to "Batman vs Superman".

    'Nuff said.
