Same announcements, same message, same speakers, same venue
Of course.
There are a bunch of companies out there that offer conference-as-a-service. From travel to accomodation, venue, decoration to social events - of course taking special dietary, cultural and religious needs into account - you can outsource your conference. Of course they're trying to be unique, but they still base everything on their expirience and "best practice"
Neither a lack of calories nor availability of sterile* food are a problem in the US or in any area where fast food is readily available.
I'm not saying I don't do fastfood. But that post that was trying to make it look healthy was just ridicioulous! There is nothing wrong as long as you see it as the occasional beer. But having a look at obese USA is probably a sign that too many people including c6gunner actually believe that fast food is beneficial. Another step towards Idiocrazy. Brawndo. Plants crave electrolytes!
*Ignoring that completly sterile isn't the best option either - everyone is running to the probiotic stuff
Clearly Google is past the point of innovation, they are trying to "fix" something that isnt broken and no one really wants.
Like "fixing" horse carriages that worked by inventing a car? That's the very definition of innovation vs. simple repairing. Tinker with something even it is not broken. It's either improvement or breaking, but if it's in a new way it's innovation.
These things either are becoming more and more non-linear (who does still watch TV? Whenever you're having superbowl - it won't be at prime time for 23 out of 24 timezones anyway!) or child care centers that have long opening hours (up to 24 hrs) and you pay as you go without defined drop off/pick up times OR are only scheduled to meet peak demand. (train/plane schedules) that would profit from demand being spread more evenly.
Sun rises at 4am here thanks to DST.... Without it would dawn around 3am.
I definitely want to keep it.
OK, during winter I can't decide if it sucks more to be dark again by 5am or if it's worth to postpone it to 6pm but 9am still being pitch black night.
Yes, nostalgia is the main reason here. But that will properly protect us prom legislators going overboard and ban the toys of their childhood.
But there are differences: The classic Pannini images were evenly distributed. So with a large enough network at the schoolyardyou could trade for the ones you needed without being ripped off. And you could mail order the last missing ones for your album, so you did not hunt down the last one missing by buying and buying again.
Most important: you wouldn't go on infinitely. When your album was full, you would stop There is no way on earth that a game company would stop selling loot boxes. It's too easy to create further demandwith an update.
All in all, the costs of taking part in the collecting the players of one world cup was (from a grown up viewpoint) more or less forseeable.
These toys are interchangeable. All give around the same time of fun and you're not buying over and over again hoping to get that one special rare toy. It's not gambling if you win a compareable prize every time. (Probable exceptions are the collectors figurines like "Happy Hippos" but it was always grown up collectors hunting them as they offered less play value then the regular toys)
OK, 50 olympic pools of mercury sounds pretty dangerous. If someone dropped 50 pools of mercury somewhere, this definitly would be dangerous. But then again: How did it get there? Why concentrated in the arctic? I'm pretty sure no one disposed the worlds obsolete mercury thermometers there, so... coal burning? How many coal was burned in the arctic? Probably not much compared to past and modern industrial centers.
So I'm setting up this hypothesis: If coal burning is the main source of mercury, the arctic received much less of mercury than any other part of the world. Only due to the climatic situation there, it was trapped in the ice. But then, even tose 50 pools can only be a fraction of mercury pollution compared to the rest of the world.
But you have to ask, has that discrimination been found to be unlawful in a court of law like say Ladies Night or is it untested, or even specifically allowed?
I would have guessed this was untested as this is a win-win. Women get cheaper drinks, men get a place with more women. I'm wondering who was stupid enough to sue.

That's how you used to do that: Add precompiler macros (#ifdef) to your your ressource compiler source file.
For example, I have ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Yes, but as you said: you have it. You don't identify with it.
I visit slashdot from work you insensitive clod!
Probably not. But I can't imagine a scenario where you would have to and the only alternative would be McDonalds.

Ah... ok...
but still... desperately finding reasons why all the previous ones don't count... really?
It is neither inexpensive nor safe.
And you're mixing up "tasty" with "engineered to be addictive"
And for "sustaining", watch "supersize me"
Proof of concept?

What animals are inconvenienced by DST?
I mean sure, Rover might get his walk an hour later, or Bessie get milked an hour earlier,
And even here: Why does Bessie needs to be milked at 5am? Milk her one hour later during DST!
On the other hand it's the single thing that adds most of the difficulty...
How did you teach her to read the clock?

That's not the main problem. Wikipedia is an ecyclopedia and as such not a primary source.
Thanks. I would have expected such a tiny detail in the summary.

Well... you learn to ride on older horses...
That was the motto of a guy back at school who would frequent an ~40 bar. (This was pre-internet) And quite successfully.
"serious people"? I thought tinder was meant to be more casual.

And discounts to under 35yrs aren't encouraging them to become frequent visitors?
