Bwahahahahaha! My work installed a whopping TWO electric charging stations. You know who uses them? The President and Vice-President. Do you think ANYONE who works there will buy an electric car knowing they'll be taking the two head honchos' parking spot?
China helps them because they don't want to lose face and admit they sent untold amounts of men to die in the fifties to defend an essentially crazy country, and they want a buffer to a US friendly country, South Korea, to prevent US influence from being right on their border.
And then we store all our nuclear waste on the dark side of the moon, but it explodes, sending the moon veering off into space. Oh, wait, that happened in 1999. Nevermind.
It seemed to be a combination of his transition AND celebrity. But the transition was fueling the celebrity enormously. In the end, wealth/celebrity often equals a get out of jail free card.
And daily, I deal with kids who ignored this artificial scarcity, and now their beautiful freedom to take various drugs has made them a continual burden on society, as their ability to think and focus blew away like a coat of dust on a windy day. They're permanently screwed. And please don't tell me that legalizing it would have kept any of them from doing this. That the edgy members of society would have suddenly started checking into clinics to accept their prescribed doses of narcotic.
It's simpler than that. If a central authority controls all payment, they can eliminate you simply by removing you from the system. You can't eat, you can't buy anything, you can't travel. you have no way to pay anyone.
What, exactly, is a scumbag? Other than something i often hear television cops growling as they collar a bad guy? I mean, are there actually bags full of some sort of scum that someone once said "Hey, that'll make a good insult!"
So I'm reading "John Oliver gets fired...." And I think 'Yeah!", because honestly, he's just shrill and unfunny, and his British accent on US televsion doesn't work in making him sound smart. If he and Samantha Bee had children, they would be the most deadpan unfunny creatures in the universe. But then I kept reading, and was disappointed.
I"ve had the opposite experience. Windows : Do whatever the hell you want, we'll nag a bit but really don't care. OSX: You must do this as I say. If you wish to do otherwise, you're doing it wrong.
This is anecdotal, but having grown up in Southern California and visited Spain, the weather and geography seem reasonably similar. I always assumed that's why the priests setup shop here originally.
Often choosing what you enjoy or think is necessary is better than taking the "big" opportunity. My sister is a nurse, and pushed into Nursing CNO work. For the past few years, she drives a nice car and looks miserable all the time.
Unless you've lived through a toxic work environment. You can't understand it. I once had a job with such a level of incomprehensible workload: The manager would load you up and expected everyone not to get through it. We believe he had asperger's as well. HR was unresponsive. Three team members had left after shouting matches. I found myself, one morning, staring at a screen with an unfixable issue and realized I'd been staring for 30 minutes. No work, no problem solving, not even daydreaming.Just blank staring with shaky hands.. So I got up, went downstairs to HR and quit. HR herded me into Stress leave ( Staffing was low, they were getting hammered over people quitting, stress leave was better on their numbers). I had 5 weeks off to sit in therapy sessions with people who had it worse than me, to learn how to handle this. When I came back, nothing bothered me and I often told my manager what he was asking for was impossible. He'd pop a vein, I'd say "Sorry, but that's just how it is. If you'd like, I can verify this in writing". Six months later, I found a new job and did quit.

In fact there's little difference between men and women _excepting_ the sexual organs themselves
Well, that an the fact that every cell in their body is different...

All I remember reading is what a huge nightmare it was, people running around in India looking for cash, empty ATMs, people lining up, etc.

So, essentially, the 60s?
People who speak one way can be better than people who speak another.

It's a shame things take on meanings other than their original intention.
Pepe was a such a happy and gay fellow, after all...

Why do you have a laptop if you're using it as a portable. Or do you mean you let it sleep between movement?
Assuming you're not serious, you sir at are the troll of the year~!

You do realize we're talking about a different kind of "Nuke", right?

People have done this forever. I bet there was some galley slave in ancient Rome mad because he wasn't first bench.
