Ever call Microsoft for technical support? Yes, they're all from India. ALL OF THEM! That shit should be fucking illegal. No wonder silicon valley (Facebook's Fuckerberg too) is pushing for imigration reform. The 0.25%ers are looking to further increase their wealth via disparity among them and the rest of the population.
Not that I disagree, but I'm cynical enough to believe this was a cost cutting measure from server/bandwith infrastructure, internal support, and litigation. They probably figure that you would get the news 3rd party via some other IT security e-mail whom will collect RSS feeds already.
Modern human civilization is predicated on the cost per BTU of energy. The cheaper the energy, the less manual work a human needs to perform AND the more plentiful food can be made/grown. Raise the baseline cost of energy, and the entire world suffers in some form or fashion. Really, if you think about it, value isn't in money, or precious metals. Real value is pegged to the cost of BTU; which is why cheap nuclear energy is so critical. But until we transport, pack, and use energy to drive kW engines in the double-digits, the hydrocarbon will be the source of fuel for the majority of people. Nuclear is the only thing close to salvation, but we know that's not going to happen.
I love how my previous comment got modded into 0 TROLL. I'm proud to prove how fucking clueless the mods are. So yeah, fuck fuel cell technology. I'm better off investing in a bug-out bag considering how the absolutely clueless will drive civilization to ruin. Have fun with that, I'll be prepared.
Gas. It will *always* be a form of petrol that's the main fuel for vehicles. Well, unless teleported technologies becomes feasible. Anyways, you won't find energy as dense, transportable, and quick to refuel as with a liquid hydrocarbon. Now, if you want to make petrol net carbon-neutral on the environment, we can have that discussion. The idea of going away from petrol is pure folly however!
It's not amusing; It's sad. What we call socialism (in the US) is nothing more than totalitarianism and indentured servitude to the government (debt never gets paid off and forever dependent on one political party) under the guise of socialism. That's why you guys in Europe are perplexed about this. Our "socialism" not like the socialism in Europe. I'm not in favor of either, but ours is fucked up in orders of magnitude regardless.
So I work 40 hours of real work and an additional 20+ of so-so work. That's not a bonus, that's to prove I'm a valuable enough to keep my full-job. I'm waiting till they replace me with three young grads. Churn-n-burn baby. There's always a fresh supply of graduates that will slave their way to pay off the student loan debt.
So, ignore Chas. It's all Regan propaganda bullshit. Only the Democratic party can save you. If only you dumb fucks could see the light of day and realize that socialism is the answer. The rich will never go away, so taxing the middle-class is how we pay for the poor and their little brood-lings.
Sorry Chas, your realistic answer is far too dangerous for the ministry of truth to allow!
Sure. For those with typical male pattern baldness, it's their hair follicles that are sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). As I understand it, DHT is created when testosterone is metabolized. Cut the nuts off, and there goes the DHT.
96 SC2 with a failing rear main seal. That, and the hastings rings were known to be crap. In addition, I had to change the camshaft cover seal. That seal turned into brittle "plastic"; I can only imagine how the rest of the seals were.
Basically, I liked the car when it was new. The engine however used poor materials.
You can, not me. I've seen both sides of selling and buying a home. I wouldn't want to be without a good real estate agent. And yes, I've fired many in the past. Sometimes you have to go through a few before you find the one that makes a good partner in the deal making. That, and they help you from getting screwed. The good ones do anyways.
Say what you will about Saturn, but I remember back in the 90s how purchasing a car from the dealership was pretty transparent. The price was hardly obfuscated.
Really? What's the positive argument for global warming?
Increased vegetation for the planet. Notice I didn't say it was good for human civilization. But yes, in theory, an increase in CO2 will provide the planet with more carbon to build life with. In short, plants will soak this stuff up!

As I've said before, this flooding is a Democrat voter drive. Just ask Nancy.

A libertarian view is that you can do what you want with your own body. The parent was suggesting an act of personal responsibility, violent or not.

Forget subsidies for a moment. In 2025, 20K won't buy you shit with the rate of inflation we have now!
Soylent Green...in SPACE! That's one way to advance recycling technology.

Technically, Oxygen is "a resource out of place". Where do you want to start and end that line?
So it's about pride. And Asians are extremely prideful.
Or don't have casual sex with people you know little about. AKA don't go fucking around.

Yes, because red is a stimulating color for the eyes which induces an ass-load reflex to shit all over the fucking car like a shooting string of jizz.
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) for publicly traded companies. It was created in the aftermath of Enron. Email retention of 7 years is mandatory under SOX.
A limited-slip differential (LSD) is good stuff to have while driving.
When I romp on the accelerator, imagine flower petals coming out of the tail pipe.
