Yeah yeah. Funny how the Brexiteers always counter with vague accusations of lies but can somehow never be specific.
Remain didn't make a compete lie the cornerstone of their entire campaign. Brexit camp knew it was a lie yet plastered it in the side of a bus and paraded it around the county.
The people doing the crunch are almost never the same as the people promising the deadline.
I've tried not having a work/life balance before. It's kinda ok for a bit of you're doing it for yourself. But if I'm working for someone else, no the hell way I'm sacrificing my work/life balance to meet a deadline I had no input into scheduling.
If it harms me career, sobe it, I'd rather have less of a career and actually enjoy my life than churn and burn for what?
It's getting to the stage where no one's allowed to say anything negative about annoying or anything online anymore because any such sentiment will be shouted down with accusations of "white knighting", "virtue signaling" or some other equally stupid and misused phrase.
So, I'd appreciate it if you stopped white knighting for R* and the games industry, you know? It's not like you signaling your virtue about not helping people will actually help.
That's the cheap bit. Loading a whole lot of stuff into a bunch of shipping containers is cheap and easy. Loading the container onto the ship is cheap and easy. Getting the ship to go from China to the US is incredibly cheap per item shipped.
Likely more fuel was burned getting the item to your door within the US than was spent moving it all the way from China. And that is expensive road fuel not incredibly cheap bunker oil.
The expensive bit of handling the packages etc is much cheaper in China because labour costs are much lower.
More of the same desparation. Literally the only argument left for you now is apparently "you haven't read it". When faced with overwhelming reality, deny it exists. Good plan.
No, that's not correct. The ne that caught fire, the windscale pile, was a very low burnup plutonium cooker specifically for making nuclear bombs. In fact the fire was caused by it being pushed way beyond both its deisgn remit and limits in order to meet a very tight deadline for a bomb test.
There's no reason why he should have felt obligated to listen to his crappy manager's statement on not bothering to come back to work, for example. I'm pretty sure he could have pushed back on that and won without too much difficulty. It's very likely he could have switched teams too.
That's exactly what happened. He kept coming in and applied to loads of different teams. He went to several interviews but ended up taking a job at a diferent company before switching teams.
Similarly fake news about voting is not going to impact anyone actually going to vote. Why would anyone be checking Facebook anyway for polling status?
I see you've gone smoothly from "it's not fake" above to "it doesn't matter" to "no one reads it anyway". Gotta stop those "liberal fascists" (your words from earlier in the thread) getting in at any cost, eh?
And meanwhile including Chernobyl, nuclear power has fewer deaths per twh than any other form of power. Nuclear power has a tiny number of very high profile incidents versus vastly more lower profile incidents.
I refuse to let emotion override hard statistics, personally.
It takes a true moron to read a title that was written as humor literally.
Ah the lsat cry of the desparate "I was only joking".
Well gee you should be able to school me real good then.
I just did, except as with everything you don't like you simply pretend it doesn't exist.
It's the original IPCC report. If you don't know what's in it by now then this it's wilful ignorance on your part. You are clearly desparate t believe it's not happening and no amount of evidence will sway you.
But nuclear power is still plenty dangerous. The first problem is that it can provide the material to make nuclear weapons. Won't do us much good to avert Global Warming if some rogue nation starts World War III with nukes.
Given this is an article bout the UK: that's not relly much of a problem since the has at the best estimate a few hundred warheads already.
The second, more insidious problem is that human corruption and incompetence is scarily likely to lead to another major accident such as Fukushima.
That is a problem except it was corruption and incompetence combined with a massive natural disaster (nuclear powerplants are well built). The UK is on the whole geologiclly stable and just doesn't have natural disasters of that scale.
The UK also has a good record on nuclear power safety. The biggest incident relted to nuclear power was the 2005 leak at the reprocessing plant where a 20 tons of nuclear fuel disolved in acid leaked out of a pipe and into a containment vessel. None leaked into the environment, and no one was injured.
It wasn't a radically new HMI in the way a touchscreen or a voice recognition is; it was a physically miniaturized version of our old qwerty friend.
Not 100% sure I agree. I mean I don't especially like typing on a touchscreen. apart from the lack of feel, the on-screen qwerty keyboards are much the same as blackberry ones. So, I wouldn't say they're radically different, and you certainly see people going for it with their thumbs still.
Note the history of the authorship of that specific book (and I'm not even talking about the _original_ origin as a fanfic) is a little less black and white. It was not "written on a BlackBerry".
I thought it was, well maybe the original original? How much um edititing did it take to turn it from a fanfic into a novel?
BTW, remember how I said authors are not generally masochists? I think given the particular book we're talking about here, we can assume that this author doesn't fall into the general case.:P
A tiny physical keyboard which is more or less thumbs only. Nothing like a proper keyboard. But my point stands, you can type an entire novel on an input device designed for short input.
The OP's point is that you don't try to write a novel on a touchscreen
"you" don't try to write a novel on a blackberry either.
Don't forget about the windows keys. You can bing them to useful things. If you make the right windows key an underscore, you'll have it just by your thumb.

You crunch to meet the deadline you promised?

You can un opt out of the limits too, and your employer is legally mandated to allow that.
Landis habitat
That's not the same Landis who's posting up thread is it?
By no means an expert, but I though string theory was essentially some sort of extension of super symmetry.
Yeah tons more sulfur.
but here they were circling half the globe.

Still don't have anything to back up your position ?
Yes the IPCC report, I told you. It made predictions. They have occured to within error bars.
Except that's part of reality so you will deny it.
You don't know what it says do you ?
More of the same desparation. Literally the only argument left for you now is apparently "you haven't read it". When faced with overwhelming reality, deny it exists. Good plan.
Windscale is/was a "civilian" Nuclear reactor.
No, that's not correct. The ne that caught fire, the windscale pile, was a very low burnup plutonium cooker specifically for making nuclear bombs. In fact the fire was caused by it being pushed way beyond both its deisgn remit and limits in order to meet a very tight deadline for a bomb test.

We are talking about nuclear power are we not?
So why bring up an irrelevant point about a very early nuclear weapons program?
It takes a true moron to read a title that was written as humor literally.
Ah the lsat cry of the desparate "I was only joking".
Well gee you should be able to school me real good then.

To be for CO2 control while wanting economic growth is simply not possible.
Don't worry, we have Brexit, so the latter won't be a problem.

Well played, sir!
You'd obviously prefer carpet bombing.
Yes the only two choices are carpet bombing and murdering people by drone.
Saudi Arabia uses Sharia Law, and the "jury" consists of educated clerics who are far less likely to be sway by appeals to emotion.
Wow you managed to find something worse than a jury. "appeal to emotion" is pretty much the definition of religion.
Desperate stupidity ?
Yes.
Look if it makes wrong predictions and you believe in it any way it's not science.
Like I said, it takes special kind of desparate stipidity to take a sci-fi film as a serious scientific prediction.
None of the IPCC reports that have been around long have made correct predictions.
That's just you making shit up because you're desparate.
I'm not surprised. What's the point of having duplicate keys?
It helps with piracy.
Which is not a smartphone
It was a smartphone back in the day.
It has a physical keyboard.
