Of course they couldn't have added those first two sentences. If they did, they'd have had to admit that Global Warming isn't the main reason for declining fish stocks and that their scare headline was nothing more than BS.
Back when I was having trouble getting to sleep, I was in bed, with the lights out, hoping to get drowsy enough to doze off. Somewhere around 5 AM, I would get solidly to sleep, and woke up some time after eleven. I was reasonably refreshed, but not as good as I should have felt.
I had considerable trouble getting to sleep, often taking over two hours after the lights went out. and, if I did manage to get to sleep, I'd wake up within two hours, and take another hour or two to get back to sleep. I'm retired, so even if I didn't really get to sleep until 5 AM, I could just sleep until I woke up. I had a sleep study done, and it consisted of my keeping a sleep diary of when I went to bed, when (roughly) I got to sleep or woke up and if I got up during the night. This told the doctor that I needed to shift my sleep cycle to earlier in the night and now my sleep is more regular and closer to normal. It still takes more time than I'd like to get to sleep, but at least I can get back to sleep without much trouble, and am ready to get up at a more reasonable time.
Actually, in Hebrew, it's the very first word. In Hebrew, books, prayers and weekly Torah portions are almost always named by their first word. Torah portions are named after the first word that's not been used yet because otherwise there'd be an awful lot of portions who's name would translate into "And the Lord said unto Moses." Also, of course, one of the central prayers of the service is called the Amidah, meaning "The Standing Prayer," because the congregation stands while reading it.
No need to refer to SF or Heinlein. All I need to do is point out that as far as the Earth/Moon system is concerned, having a base on the Moon gives you control of the ultimate High Ground.
You don't understand. First, the health care are from the union, not the supermarket, meaning that you can move from company to company without worrying about your benefits. Second, I not only received my VA compensation during the shutdown, there was no problem with my having an already scheduled colonoscopy, and getting travel compensation for the 500 mile round trip it took. There may be some difficulty right now in processing a claim for new benefits, but once you've gotten your claim accepted, the checks (actually direct deposit) come in like clockwork.
If you want good health insurance, you can also work in a unionized industry. My father and sister both worked in unionized supermarkets and ended up with lifetime health care and a pension. I picked a different route to lifetime health care: I served a hitch in the US Navy and get all the care I need through the VA. And, the only reason I don't have a pension from the VA is that my monthly compensation for my Service Connected Disabilities (30%) is higher than the pension would be and you can only get one or the other, not both.
Speak for your self, AC. I've been eating yogurt since before it came flavored, and still like it. Not only that, just try making tzaziki or tandoori chicken without it.
I take it, then, that you've never tried plain unsweetened yogurt. Not only is it tasty and nutritious, there are lots of recipes out there that use it.
I said "discourage," not "forbid." If the Feds paid less for those cheeses than for other, more popular varieties would probably be all that's needed. If not, simply stop accepting processed cheese slices or string cheese for storage, and let the farmers who insist on making it try to sell it on the open market without subsidies. Once they see that they can't sell it that way and still turn a profit, they'll have two choices: stop making it, or go bankrupt.
If Americans aren't eating processed cheese slices or string cheese, the Feds should be discouraging dairy farmers from making it. Sell off what they've got in storage to supply the market, and get the farmers to make other cheeses instead, such as Swiss, Cheddar, Muenster and Jack. Also, get them to make more yogurt, as that's very popular now especially among the health conscious and those trying to lose weight.
t's likely gone and there isn't much anyone can do about it.
If that data's still useful, it's not gone. There's at least one backup copy stashed in a safe deposit box somewhere, probably in a small European or South American country, if not both.
This is why girls, especially in that age group, carry their school books across their chests. Either they think their breasts aren't big enough and want to hide them, or they think they're too big and all the boys will be staring at them. (This isn't guesswork; I once asked a woman about it and that's what she told me.)
I think you have that backward. Sears catalogs were thick and heavy, so they were printed on thin paper to cut down on shipping costs. Once the family was done reading it, and making any orders, putting it in the outhouse saved money because they didn't have to buy TP, assuming it was even available back then.
China's wall didn't work very well because far too many of the gate keepers were corrupt and took bribes to let the barbarians through. Hadrian's wall worked because the men in charge weren't corrupt. It's not a matter of picking the wrong men, either, it's a matter of culture. Chinese officials were expected to feather their own nests, although it was sometimes used as an excuse to bring somebody down who had fallen from favor. Roman officials (especially military officials) were expected to administer the law objectively, without consulting their own interests, and any corruption was swiftly and severely punished.
There are definitely some interesting parallels between the Lensman and Star Wars universes.
This is probably not a coincidence. I was told, years ago, by Bill Ellern that Lucas had wanted to film the Lenseman series, but that Smith's older daughter wouldn't give permission.
Good question. I'd have the registrars require people requesting to buy a.com domain to explain what they're going to use it for, and reject any (with an explanation of what.com is for) that don't qualify. Granted, people can and will lie about it, but at least the companies will have made a good faith effort. And, at least some of those requesting.com will change to a more appropriate TLD once they understand. (I'm fairly sure my friends would have if they'd known.)

Get real, folks. Breaking the windshield doesn't destroy the car; it's still completely drivable, it just needs the windshield replaced.
Congratulations, you've just reinvented the Amateur Press Association, commonly referred to as an APA. Yet again, history repeats itself.
In CA water usage was about 90% for industry and 10% residential.
California is largely agricultural, mostly using irrigation. How much of that 90% went to watering crops?

This advice might have helped several years ago when I was having trouble sleeping. It's more than a tad redundant now.

Normally, I'd have gone that way. In this case, using North Korea seemed more appropriate.
In South Korea, only old people welcome new overlords. In North Korea, speaker-assistant overlords welome YOU!

Still running a 32bit 2.4 kernel?
Not only that, it's still using SysV init!
