I might be out of my mind, but not from deafness. With my cochlear implant, I hear pretty much what I used to hear before I went deaf from spinal meningitis at age 17. Without my CI, it's just mild tinnitus. Either way, having been deaf for 30 years, I'm used to it. Aside from the boredom, this room would pose no problem for me at all.
Most of New York does, but be extra careful when you get to New York City. They have their own level of stupid out there. Even having CCP from another county within NY is not enough. You have to get it from NYC, and good luck with that.
Gotta call BS on this. The media were called "message force multipliers" under the Bush administration specifically because they were so amenable to whatever Bush wanted the rest of us to hear. It was independent outlets, like McClatchey, or foreign news services, that reported what might be called "truth."
Not mine, but I wish. I have bigger legs from years of cycling and running and I found that sleeping under the covers was a recipe for disaster: I got too hot, even in the winter. Instead, I sleep on top of the sheets, under a loose acrylic blanket that allows me to regulate how much of my legs are exposed - most of my lower body in the warmer months, and maybe my calves in the cooler months. Works well for me.
Who would volunteer to inspect this "dud"? And where would be a safe place to crack it open to check inside? On the other hand, one "oops," and you wouldn't exist long enough to know it.
Stand down, soldier. One way or another, we all have to die. Beyond that, at some point, the world / galaxy / universe will end. A sense of humor helps keep things in perspective.
I believe I adequately addressed the "non-removeable" aspect: it's false. Could it be easier? Sure. Is it "non-removeable"? Hell no. Is it difficult? Only if you're a retard.
If they weren't negligent, it wouldn't have happened. If I hit someone, accidentally, with my car and they die, I still get charged. If corporations want to have "people" rights when it comes to campaign finance, they can suffer the consequences when they fuck up like this, intentionally or not.
Exactly. For the most part, Obama is doing the same thing, maybe even moreso, than Bush, and yet, "real Americans" who loved Bush hate him. Why is that?
It's all for "improved customer experience." If they know to whom you're talking, or what pictures you're taking, or what documents you're reading or writing, or where you are at any given moment, they can better tailor their services to fit your needs. I'm surprised this isn't patently obvious./snark
For a while, I worked as a substitute teacher in my school district. I had one longer-term engagement teaching the at-risk students - the ones that the district had pretty much given up on, but would not outright expel. That group of kids got basic financial management classes - balancing checkbooks, among other things. The "normal" students didn't have classes like that; I never asked, but I'm guessing the administration thought they'd just pick it up naturally.
That so? You haven't actually worked on a factory floor, then. I was only kidding - it's a perfectly absurd approach - but you would not believe some of the concoctions people have come up with that are, in fact, in use on factory floors. And once they're in place, it's sometimes hard to get rid of them, since it costs money to bring systems down to swap things out - even "taped together bullshit" - and people might not know why it's there in the first place.
Then, connect it to an ATtiny - ATtiny85 should be fine; it's only a couple of bucks - and program it to go on and off as you wish. Side benefit: it runs on batteries in case the power goes off.
I propose that the editor be replaced by my second-grade grand-daughter - I mean, she can edit just as well, right? - and the "fancy, expensive" computer that the editor currently uses be replaced by an Etch-A-Sketch. Or Crayons.
No, no - because it's a 3D printed gun, it's in a super class of gun, like a laser on fricken' shark's head. You just point it, and zammo!, instant death! That's why the mere download, construction or possession of these guns must be outlawed.
About six months ago, or more, I was in a hobby shop in western New York - not necessarily a hot-bed of anything, really; Amish dudes and farming? - and the guy behind the counter tried to impress me with his position as "investigator of potential terrorist activity" based on a sheet he'd been given by the authorities regarding suspicious purchases that could be masked as mere hobby activity. I chuckled - yeah, right, this is gonna happen around here? And you're gonna catch a would-be international terrorist, Gomer? - and groaned inwardly, at the same time, for what we've become.
This is my neighborhood! Go do this shit in your own backyard! Just because we're sparsely populated, out here, doesn't mean we don't care if you ruin our terra firma.
Left behind were craters as wide as 2 metres and as deep as 45 centimetres.
Oh. Never mind. Geez, I didn't even hear the blasts...

That's a hell of an air gap to cross.
Under Harper, isn't Canada actually "America Lite"? So it would, in essence, still be only America, right?
Are our "inalienable" rights suddenly "alienable" because we're overseas?

I call BS. I replaced a battery in an iPhone just last week. Three screws, one connector, bada bing, done. Cost $25. See iFixit.

Excellent summary, that seems to be lost on so many people. Too bad I used up my last mod point earlier this morning.
My iPad 1 works just fine. Yes, certain apps crash, once in a while, but not enough to be a bother. As they say, YMMV.

Cut a network cable and break the wires out, one to each port of one of these:

If you submit the idea to Make, I get credit.
If our own government takes away all of our freedoms, will the other countries then like us?

Grades shouldn't matter, if the real goal is knowledge.
