Won't really work as the actual problem is that the last generation who thinks it's impolite to hang up on someone who cold called you is finally dying off.
Which generation would that be? I don't think that generation actually existed, as I'm in my late 50s, and witnessed much older relatives do exactly what you're claiming they don't.
The most scientific oriented government, both in policy and origin, is undoubtedly the modern democracies, created by men who were careful to study the flaws of the powerful, to account for them, and to allow for change should future generations gain more wisdom on the subject.
Which ones do you speak of? I think it could easily be argued that those modern democracies evolved in an environment that included religious value systems. Do you have any examples to the contrary?
According to a new Associated Press analysis, the average price of a round-trip flight within the U.S. for the first half of 2014 was $509.15. That’s around $14 higher than the same period a year ago. What’s more, soaring flight prices have outpaced inflation: Average domestic airfare has risen 10.7% over the past five years, after adjusting for inflation.
Clearly there's a disconnect between the two articles.
Having only spent a few days in London years ago, I don't know. Having grown up near Hamtramck, MI, which had the 2nd largest Polish population outside of Warsaw for any city back then, I was exposed to a lot of that, so maybe it was a dumb question.
So, because you don't see the point, that makes it vacuous? Well, let's see.
1. It would either back up or disprove the GP's point. 2. It would either back up or disprove the point of the article. 3. And finally, my curiosity got to me regarding an area like SV, which is very dense in tech, vs. that of London which IMO has the claimed culture, finance, fashion industries, but not nearly the tech density...I wondered how it would compare.
The loading and unloading time of an aircraft is extended much more because the idiots in charge want to load from the front instead of the back first.
Maybe direct ticket prices, but not when tacking on all the additional fees we have now. I've been traveling internationally since the 70s, so my experience doesn't match what you describe.
This/. meme cracks me up. The terms liberal and conservative are relative to your point of view. Just because from your vantage point everything is to the right, doesn't make it all conservative.
So, can someone list a few of the innovations that have come out of the London area in the last ten or twenty years? It's a serious question...I don't know.
I think I was with you in the previous post, but this one lost me a bit. Let me use my own example....
If I run a business that rents a corporate box at NFL games, and I entertain customers there, and sign a huge contract in said box, by what seems to be the same logic, I should have to pay another fee to the NFL. What am I missing?
Yes, that's become more common to drop the land line, but you're not even in the majority yet. And no, that doesn't solve the problem for everyone. I'm not tethered to my cell phone, and can't even carry it in certain places I work. Unlike most millennials, most folks over 40 don't hold their cell phones will showering, driving or fucking, So, having a land line and answering system keeps me from missing things. When I'm home, my phone announces who's calling. If I don't recognize the name, I let the answering system respond. Now get the fuck off my lawn.
I was just on the phone with a subordinate, and saw that I had another call from someone who I'd been waiting two days to reach regarding a very large contract. Based upon some folks comments, I should not have interrupted my ongoing call because that's supposedly rude...seriously? I could have let them to to voicemail (in most cases I would have, and I'm very happy we're not losing VM because I'm on the phone most of the day). Instead, I politely asked my sub to hold for a moment while I took the call. I then asked the other party if I could call them back in two minutes (since they had been so difficult to reach) when I expected to complete my ongoing discussion.
I see the removal of VM as a penny-wise pound foolish proposition. The loss of a single customer could easily be worth more than the amount saved.

You can't go back and charge contractor many years after they sold you a product.
That's one good commercial, and its air time. Okay, maybe two
Um, Superbowl commercials only cost about $4M. Typical prime time adds are much less, by about an order of magnitude, sport.

If you believe what you just wrote, you know zip about logic, data, and making conclusions. Have a nice day.
Even if he was wrong in every other case, unless you have a problem with the message, you shouldn't be shooting the messenger.

Is that too vacuous?

is there a pre-fondling program we could join? you know, get it all done at once, in one, uhhhh, lump sum ?
That might evoke some other "premature" issues for you.
There is barely anything that is a foot long
But how many centimeters long is a pornstar?

Having been to 48 states, living in several of them, and spending six years of my life in Europe, I'll call bullshit. YMMV
Is Dragon's Den similar to Shark Tank, or purely tech oriented?

Is London where you developed or discovered your xenophobic streak, or did that happen after you moved to the countryside?
What's this based upon?
Why is the parent modded Flamebait? Is there something inaccurate about his post?
Even smart weapons kill innocent bystanders. Do you think that is lost on the people doing this?...rhetorical question.
It's finally making it's way through the courts...

Oh, you mean like my Cisco IP phone that beeps (no, it doesn't ring). Yes, line 2 lights up and the caller ID is displayed.
