  1. However, I'd rather the country be destroyed then allowed legalized abortion and gay marriage to continue unchecked.

    And here we have it. Despite all the evidence that Trump is in no way a moral, religious person. Despite his three marriages, despite his well-publicised affairs, despite his misogyny, despite all the ways he shows that he does not uphold Christian values, you can't stand the idea that two people of the same gender might get married.

    Your hatred for Clinton is rooted in your own bigotry, not any facts (other than "alternative facts", AKA lies).

    You just want to control others. You want to impose your own moral values on others when their actions have no impact on you.

    You are a bigot, sir. You should be ashamed to call yourself a religious person, because you don't espouse the true values of Christianity. You just want control. You are simply an authoritarian, not a religious person.

    You, sir are an idiot. Seriously. Yes, Clinton would have been a terrible president, but compared to Trump, she would have been the best president the US has ever had. Instead, you voted for a racist, misogynistic bigot who takes his advice from someone who wants to destroy the USA.

    The main problem with Clinton was the influence that Wall street had over her, but just look at Trump's appointments.

    All I can say is that, at work we use mostly consumer SSDs made by a large Korean manufacturer. They are under heavy use (completely overwritten about once every 30 days and we can't TRIM them) and they seem to be holding up. Those manufactured by a large Idaho-based manufacturer didn't seem to last as well.

    However, this is a very small sample and may not be representative. We don't have any critical data on the drives: it is a minor inconvenience if they die.

  7. Under her, Yahoo nearly tripled in value, from about $16 billion to $44 billion.

    And none of that increase in value was due to any decision that she made. It was entirely due to the increase in the value of Yahoo's Alibaba holdings.

    How has Yahoo's value changed during here tenure if you deduct the valuation of the Alibaba shares?

    Also, it is not that hard to test your own meter. Turn everything off. Make sure the meter is reading zero watts. Then turn on one device at a time, and measure the power bump.

    And what if the error is not in the instantaneous reading, but the figures that get accumulated and sent to the power company?

    From TFA:

    Two weeks ago a senior police officer at a road accident ordered me to stop recording audio and delete any video that Iâ(TM)d already shot. I didnâ(TM)t delete the video so the officer took my press ID card, recorded my details, and told me that my camera would be seized.

    Was this illegal activity that might have been captured on video, or was it some kind of security service activity that the authorities didn't want to see the light of day?

    Which is precisely why we need to use the old common law definition of rape. Which requires either a whiteness or a whiteness immediately after the fact who can testify to distress and injury that occurred

    You didn't read that article, did you? Or you did not read it through.

    One of the most important facts that the article exposes is that people who are raped don't always show the reactions that would be commonly expected.

    And in how many cases, the victim is pressured to falsely withdraw a true claim of rape? It happens. How often? Nobody knows because no one in a suitable position wants to gather such statistics. Just like other statistics that show the police in a bad light are not collected.

    Read this case in which a woman who was proven to be the victim of rape was let down by the police, forced to withdraw her claim, prosecuted for a false report, yet was eventually vindicated.

    You should stop getting your news from Breitbart.

    Obama didn't change the reporting, he changed the policy on how people are returned to Mexico. The numbers are still counted the same way as before, but what happens to illegal immigrants has changed.

    None of this changes the fact that I posted that illegal immigration of Mexicans is either net zero or negative.

    Rerouting traffic to the best available route is a feature, not a bug. Seriously, it's a feature. Don't mess with it.

    The pinch point in Fremont is the freeway on ramp and then over the hill on i680. It doesn't matter how you get to the on ramp. Rerouting does nothing to improve the overall traffic issues.

  20. Looks like a road stoppage? Find a parallel city or state road.

    Take a look at a map of the area. There is one alternative route (highway 84, also known as Niles Canyon road) and it is a narrow, twisty, and dangerous road which is often slow because of the volume of traffic attempting to avoid the freeway. The clue is in the name of the road: "Canyon".

    You did read that Fremont is in California, right? California is the only state in the nation that does allow lane splitting.

  22. Take a look at the map of Fremont. People commuting North in the evenings on i680 get off at South Mission and attempt to get back on at North Mission. Or they may have come off i880N and are just attempting to get onto i680N. They are not looking for local establishments, just a short cut.

    i680 is frequently very slow between these two junctions, hence the desire to get on at the N Mission junction.

    The local establishments lose trade because actual customers cannot get close to the local businesses during the evening commute.

  23. Unfortunately, lots of websites won't accept such email addresses.

    I even have one case where I registered using such an address, but the website was changed so that now it won't accept such addresses, so I cannot use it for orders, change it or even unsubscribe. Fortunately, they don't use it to send more than about one email every two months, so I really don't care.
