Nice followup to the Obamacare PR fiasco, dipshits. Alienate half your customers by being a dick about providing health care coverage for your employees and then top that by spamming everyone's cell phones with unwanted texts.
One more is a hat trick. You're this close to the stupid trifecta, might as well go for the gold.
Maybe announce you don't want to pay for birth control and alienate your female customers. Or rape comments are all the rage these days, though it would be hard to come up with any new material on that topic.
Every time I see this kind of thing it just confirms that the biggest threat to peace and the ones creating racial intolerance and hatred are the US Government.
How exactly is that flamebait? Whether you agree with the sentiment or not, that's what a lot of people outside the U.S. think.
When Customs starts interrogating foreign lawmakers over their political positions, it's only going to make that perception worse.
Lets try to find something else renewable that will work.
It frightens me that this is the level of intellectual clarity the majority of America brings to big problems.
The report said it would not work for more than 5 percent of transportation fuels at the current state of the technology, not that it wasn't a viable alternative if some of the technological challenges can be addressed.
That's what this bit means: However, the potential to shift this dynamic through improvements in biological and engineering variables exists.
Maybe you should stick to problems that can be solved by banging rocks together.
Enclose the cockpit, add some seat belts and safety features and that would be a heck of a commuter car for people who live someplace like Seattle. No more ferry lines!
You won't read anything about Biden not being engaged tomorrow. So far he's making Ryan look like an amateur and he's not letting Ryan get away with lying.
It may seem hard to believe now, but gold, silver and diamonds used to lay on the surface of the Earth. It wasn't until man got to the point we were writing things down that we started collecting the shiny things on the surface.
All I'm suggesting is it could be naturally occurring or it could be ejecta from an impact event involving an asteroid with a high metallic content.
It's hard reading IT train wreck stories, especially when the damage is self-inflicted. And yet I saw that same attitude, on both sides of the transaction, acted out over and over.
A long time ago a CIO I worked for said he wasn't worried as long as he had a throat he could choke if things went sideways. The only thing he cared about was having somewhere to cast blame.
Those were the days I naively cared about doing a good job.
Much more likely to deregulate, support offshoring, and expand the H1-B visa pool.
That's because of those moocher tech workers who feel entitled to 8 hour work days, decent salaries and health care coverage.
Obviously they've never lived in the "real world". Where if you don't like your crappy, slave-wage job you can just ask daddy if you can borrow enough money to start your own company.
Clarence Thomas used to work for Monsanto as an attorney in the 70s. I'm going to guess that a hypocrite won't really care about a little thing like conflict of interest.
It didn't stop him from ruling on the Affordable Care Act.
I watched the unedited footage, it wasn't that bad. In Europe they show traffic accidents in all their horror, burned bodies and all.
I just don't get why this is such a big deal. I loath Fox News because they're the propaganda arm of the GOP, not because of something trivial like this.
You advertise a job at a ridiculously low wage, or with ridiculous requirements, and when no American worker responds or qualifies (because American programmers and engineers won't work for $30,000 a year and don't have 20+ years Java development experience), you run crying to Congress and the Labor Dept. that you need more H1-B visas to fill the "critical shortages of qualified workers.
I still get H1-B phony pitches. ColdFusion programmer jobs half-way across the country offering $35K a year. Yeah, I'm going to pounce right on that.
No Americans want that job, time to bring in an H1-B!
If you want to make electric cars more popular and push the technology, then start holding electric car races with a really big winning purse. Then you'll have millions of innovators in garages all over the country working on improvements to electric vehicle technology.
Toyota failed because they approached it as a different type of car instead of a new type of transportation.
James Angel, a professor at Georgetown University and a member of the board of Direct Edge, said Mr. Arnuk and Mr. Saluzzi were stoking irrational fears of a market that is providing good returns to investors.
Oh, really? And just which investors would those be? Certainly not retail 401(k) investors.
The problem with the stock market is not that nobody is making money, the problem is a handful of people at the top are making a crapload of money and everyone else gets bupkis.
The big institutional traders have faster-than-lightning systems that limit their downside losses. By the time most people get their 401(k) statement it might as well be scribed on clay tablets dried in the sun, it's ancient history. Those people are the ones getting boned by the Math of Loss.
but beyond that any claim of a food shortage just seems silly.,
I hear that argued by the religious right anytime the subject of overpopulation comes up, even though the math is pretty simple.
We have a planet with a comfortable capacity of 5 billion and a population of 7 billion. Apparently all that extra food and resources are going to magically rain down out of the sky.
From the article: For billions of people around the world, food comprises up to 80% of routine expenses (for rich-world people like you and I, itâ(TM)s like 15%).
I put the people who downplay the potential for mass starvation in the same category as people who deny climate change. They're both whistling past the graveyard so they don't have to make any sacrifices in terms of changing their lifestyle.
it will always feel like a small step above camping.
Say what? I don't know where you've been staying, but none of what you said is true. RV parks, unless they're wilderness campgrounds, always have electric, water and sewer connections and many newer RVs have 10-12 gallon hot water tanks which a lot more hot water than my wife and I have ever used at one time.
Not something you will want to do for several years.
Says who? The longer you're on the road, the less inclination you'll be to ever go back to bricks and sticks and having your house nailed to the ground. We've been on the road for three years and found that many of our problems with traditional housing stem from a lack of convenient mobility.
Most generators will run an A/C unit on an RV just fine. If your RV has two A/C units most likely your generator is already sized for the load. The only time we've ever run ours is when we stopped at a rest area and wanted to take a nap or make lunch.
For the OP I have sections on wifi, satellite and wireless internet coverage. Right now we get high speed to our 5th wheel from the cable company, just like we did at the last two parks we've stayed in.
And as far as comfort goes, you have to learn to live in less space but the space you have is better organized. And there's someone else taking care of the yard work, cleaning the pool, grooming the golf course and stocking the bar.
Full time RV living is more comfortable and way more convenient than you might imagine. It's not a great choice if you have kids, but my friend up the street is a Unix admin for a hospital chain and he's lived in RVs for the last 10 years. You couldn't get either one of us back in a house. Traditional housing sucks in comparison.

Now we know where the trouble in the patent system is coming from. A fish rots from the head.

I'd settle for a car that starts.

Biden is crushing it.

It can lose an engine and still make it into orbit! Seriously, how amazing is that?
I supposed they could go with fewer engines, but if they lose one the consequences are greater.
Now they have proof the fail-over systems work. Don't mess with success.

Fight fire with fire.
Perhaps a camera system that pinpointed the guilty party would be more useful. You wouldn't get everyone, but maybe enough that word would get out.
I still like your idea better but frickin airliners with frickin lasers are just never going to fly.
I've brought down a few of my coworkers the same way.
I watched the unedited footage, it wasn't that bad. In Europe they show traffic accidents in all their horror, burned bodies and all.
I just don't get why this is such a big deal. I loath Fox News because they're the propaganda arm of the GOP, not because of something trivial like this.
The only place I can see this working is suburbs with wide spacing between homes, or rural areas.
Or Nebraska.

As long as it's not pushing forced ads, I have no problem with Ubuntu setting up a shopping network and app sales.
They have to make money somehow and this seems like one of the less offensive services they could implement.

Some pics of the SCA and Endeavor flying over KSC and the rocket garden.
The guy next to me was shooting video, watching it today I forgot how loud it was. It was a great moment.
