My lifelong hobby, baking, cooking, pickling, and making foods like sausages, bacon, and other cured meats at home, came from taking Home Economics in HS.
This. Home ec, shop, and and automotive should all be required classes.
First wave feminism did not hate men. First wave feminism had some legitimate gripes.
Sure they did. They were also full of shit on a scale that's positively biblical, as none of them were demanding the right to be drafted into Vietnam, the latest in a long line of wars that men were forced to fight in. Ask a good 70's feminist about that, and they'll invariably deflect that they were opposed to the war, as if that matters. Plenty of men were opposed to the war as well, but that didn't matter when their draft number came up.
women need more education to achieve the same level of success as in the workplace than men
Er, no. To achieve the same level of success, women need only make the same level of sacrifice. Shitty jobs, stressful jobs, dangerous jobs, extreme amounts of overtime...that makes up the entirety of the "wage gap", which should more accurately be called a "work gap".
The "75 cents on a dollar" canard is based on ignoring all those factors, as well as men being less likely to take parental leave. If you compare apples to apples - experience, education and hours worked - the "wage gap" disappears.
It is according to islamophobes, consciously or not. Ask one to describe a muslim, and you're invariably going to get a description of a stereotypical Arab appearance, or second choice, sub-saharan African.
16 of the top 20 college football programs are revenue positive. Everyone else (300+ schools) is pretty much losing money because of football, mainly because they believe in your incorrect narrative.
And according to Paramount, the movie Forrest Gump lost money, even after it had made $500+ million dollars at the box office. From the NCAA link:
But at the median Division I school, the athletics budget rose more quickly than the institutional budget, requiring the athletics department to take a larger percentage of institutional funds.
Uh huh. And how much of that "institutional budget" comes from athletics? Ticket sales, merchandise, broadcast rights, alumni donations....going to be a weee bit skeptical that only 16 football programs are revenue positive. And I say that as someone that doesn't really care about sports or football, and hasn't been to a college game in over a decade.
Ask a FederaI agent sometime how many plots they foil every year (many of which go unreported) which are planned by Muslims vs "homegrown" non-Islamic attacks.
You must work chest-thumping threats into sentences on a regular basis - so your paranoid ammosexuality is noted. Are your sheets vinyl or polyurethane, for when you wet the bed while reaching for your piece after every bump in the night?
It's not Islamaphobia when the fuckers say "Death to America" and are working at building atom bombs and the like.
Even Mossad says Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program, you racist dumbfuck. As far as "death to America" goes, America overthrew their government, spent decades supporting a brutal dictator who tortured dissidents, backed Saddam when Iraq invaded Iran, has murdered their nuclear energy scientists (or knows who did), has as the Democratic frontrunner for the '16 election a woman who causally said she would 'totally obliterate' the country, all for their non-existent nuclear weapons program.
However, these accelerated product cycles put a lot of toxic stuff into landfill
How's that? You turn your phone into Apple as a part of the upgrade program, they will recycle the parts or reuse them to repair older phones, or sell then as refurbs.
You don't trade your phone into Apple, you'll sell it, give it away, or use it like an iPod touch. Or drop it in the recycling box at the front door of a Best Buy.
don't provide any extra utility
Faster processors and better screens don't "provide any extra utility"?
No matter if this is true or not, how is this the fault of the maker of the bluray player?
How does that have any relevance to the content of Bluray being more locked-down than content for iOS devices? How many of the top Bluray manufacturers were not a part of the Bluray consortium to begin with? One of them, Sony, has a sizable movie studio of their own....and releases all their Bluray content laced with DRM.
Apple control both ends. They both sell devices and control which application can be installed on it. And applications that can be installed on it can't be of any use on any other device.
So do the manufacturers of Bluray players. And car software. And video game consoles. But no one calls them "walled gardens", because they aren't Apple.
Carrier (or SIM) lock has nothing to do with rooting.
Good thing I wasn't talking about SIMs, then.
While it is true that a gaming console is as locked down as an iPhone, an Android phone isn't.
That's okay, anyone who roots their Android to get around carrier software (not networks, software) but then whines about iPhones is still a wanker. Take the same (or less) effort to root an iOS device, and you can install anything you want with Cydia.
That's not a real response, maybe because there isn't a real response that can be made.
No one is going to complain about "walled gardens" on car software - well, maybe they will now that Apple is getting into the car software business, because Apple. No one complains about "walled gardens" on their Bluray players, or the "walled gardens" on their game consoles.
walled garden = ad hoc argument masquerading as principle.
If the Swedish Justice System was so bad why did he go to Sweden instead of some other country?
Because he hadn't committed any crimes in Sweden before he went there????
You can read whatever agenda into my posts you feel like, by admitting he didn't know what the Swedish system was like you're agreeing with every damn thing I just said.
Willfully obtuse? He wasn't accused of any crimes before traveling to Sweden, aside from the purely political ones whined about by the United States. So the "why did he go to Sweden instead of some other country" is the first of many non-sequiturs..
If the Swedes wanted to turn him over to the US they could do so simply by lying
And Obama could order the USAF to launch drone strikes on both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump tomorrow, but that's not going to happen either. There is no way the Swedish government survives if they've spent years crying rape only to say "just kidding, guys! It was really just a pretext to hand Assange over to the U.S. the whole time!"
OTOH, if you have ever actually dealt with Swedes, you know their obsession with proper rules and procedure borders on OCD (their shock when someone is so gauche as to cut in line has to be seen to be believed), and it's quite credible for them to claim they can't sign such an agreement since it would not be valid under Swedish law.
Even the top paid hack on this subject, Rei, admits that Swedish laws don't allow deportation for "intelligence crimes". Sweden, like most civilized countries, could vow not to deport a suspect to a regime that's fond of executing and torturing people they don't like. Regimes like the United States.
Again, you're not understanding how it works in Sweden. Sweden is not an Anglo-Saxon country with a legal system based on Jury trials. It's its own country, based on a completely different legal tradition, which uses Swedish. The terms can be translated into English, but that doesn't mean they magically become the same English-language concept anyone who watched CSI is familiar with.
Ad hoc canard #347. Swedish authorities have done exactly that - traveled to other countries to question suspects without bringing them back home in handcuffs. Hell, they've offered to do that with Assange in London.
You're delusional.
You're a fool and a tool for an empire.
Look, this isn't hard. If Sweden says this is about rape, then fucking make it about rape and promise not to hand Assange to the United States.
Or we just got to the point. If "design" is limit to those doing the physical work of turning ideas into reality, then much of Jef Raskin's "fathering" needs to be stricken from his biography, as many of the ideas he came up with were implemented by others.
If those coming up the ideas deserve some of the credit, then Jobs deserves Macintosh credit for the multiple proportionately spaced fonts. It's a binary, A or B situation.
yes and there are n number of addon things made for ford cars... doesn't mean it's a good idea for them to integrate them into their product line.
Well, yeah, trying to rig up a nitrous system to your Ford Focus isn't going to do great things for the lifespan of the engine, and strapping a gigantic spoiler on the back is going to be fugly. But GPS navigation and integrated blutooth audio is pretty sweet. When has Apple done the former, as opposed to the latter?
And who cares what it runs? "pro" and "iPad" for pro consuming?
The Surface Pro tries to be three devices, and does a passable job at each once Metro has been castrated: a tablet, a laptop, and a desktop replacement (with dock). The iPad Pro is just one thing: a tablet.
To cut a long story short, Apple isn't trying to copy the Surface Pro with the iPad Pro. The iPad isn't running the same OS as the desktop, it's not intended to replace a laptop, and it doesn't have a dock feature to replace a desktop. It was released two years before the first Surface, so you probably could have ordered a stylus and keyboard from the Apple store before you could buy a Surface with either. Lastly, Apple started calling some of their products "Pro" at least six years before the Surface was released in 2012.
the guy who was the real "father of the Macintosh"
The guy who left the team because he didn't want the Macintosh to have a mouse? Who was so focused on making it cheap that he wanted to gimp it with a 16 bit processor limited to 64k of memory?
Raskin: the Father of Hatorade.
Jef deserves a lot of credit for putting the team together and birthing the project. But you also have to give Jobs credit for pushing calligraphy, which is why the Macintosh had multiple proportionately spaced fonts. Which is why Apple owned the desktop publishing market for so many years, and helped them weather the tough times in the 90's. Raskin's quote was wrong, by his own time frame and choice of products to mention.
Couldn't you make the same argument about 720p video? Who needs better-resolution-than-a-dvd when we could all still be using cell phone cameras that take 320 x 240 video at 12 fps? If nothing else, wider adoption of 4k video might spur networks and producers to put out more of their product in 4k.
When it will get more interesting for cell phones, imho, is when these quad core processors and GPU's start doing reasonable attempts at image stabilization while taking said video.

They would have been if the perps had been vaugely muslim-looking.
You mean the ones planned and funded by FBI informants so the FBI has "terrorists" they can arrest?
You must work chest-thumping threats into sentences on a regular basis - so your paranoid ammosexuality is noted. Are your sheets vinyl or polyurethane, for when you wet the bed while reaching for your piece after every bump in the night?
Probably not. Because he's probably not a paranoid moron with no ability to asses threats.
Even Mossad says Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program, you racist dumbfuck.

And this, kids, is why you shouldn't do meth and 'shrooms at the same time. Have you tried leaving out the meth?

It's the Hatorade Distortion Effect.
You literally would have said that to any response. Haters gonna hate.
And the Surface has 55% of the pixels of an iPad Pro. Selective comparisons are neat that way.
