Just skip straight to the election to get rid of Hindenberg and Schleicher all at once. Hell, the economy is so bad, and the Mark so worthless, I'll take ANYONE over those two clowns!
I was about to moderate this discussion, but saw your post and decided to reply instead. Could you cite some examples of this? I live in Atlanta and have some activist acquaintances who would be interested in such things.
Just stuff I remember from years ago. I (thankfully!) haven't lived in Atlanta in a couple of decades, but I would be surprised if it changed. There was an off-duty cop on a bike who pointed a gun at a friend and shouted "FREEZE!" even though it's not certain what he was doing that was illegal. Then, there was the time I went through a red light that hadn't changed in about 10 minutes at 5 am (I assume it was broken). A police officer in his own car chased me down while flashing his high-beams at me. I assumed it was some nut or drugee, since this was downtown. I was chased by this guy until a police car with flashing lights blocked my path. I called out to the officer that some nut, right behind me, was chasing me. I was then informed that the "nut" was a police officer. They did not even give me a ticket, though. But, this was after the officer said I "must have enemies" and that was why I was scared of some random car flashing lights at me, and that even in other states, I should have known that car had a police officer in it. Basically, a line of shit so they could stay out of trouble if I complained.
I could only imagine what would have happened if me or my friend were black. We would probably both be dead now.
Funny how all of the police officers that all of the Anonymous Cowards know are all mean bullies that won't listen to nobody nohow. Sounds like the Anonymous Cowards needs to get some better friends. All of the Police Officers I know or have interacted with have been courteous, kindly and understanding.
Where I live now, I would agree with you. Atlanta cops on the other hand (as well as a few other cities) are the scum of the earth.
See also, the Atlanta Police Department. "De-escalation" is obviously not in their vocabulary, and they frequently pull shit while in plain clothes and not identifying themselves as police officers.
If raw food item A is vulnerable to pests, and raw food item B produces a protein that pests don't like, why not splice the ability to produce that protein into item A? Is that any different from eating a meal where A and B are mixed together on your plate?
Oh, so that's how gene splicing works! You just get two different things together and shuffle them around a bit! Who'd have thought?
But. Africa. Regional political unrest can undermine labor costs
China has plenty of weapons and military advisers to send to Africa to prop up the regime of their choice. Even troops, if necessary. Any rebels won't have a chance against a government backed up by the Chinese.
See, they are getting more American every day! Give them another fifteen years, and they'll be the ones invading the middle east.
Wanna bet? I have sent out 350 resumes in the past 9 months, and I have only received one offer. I spent 5 years as a design, manufacturing, and quality engineer and no one even looked at me. Tech is hiring from overseas or new graduates with NO experience and they are being worked to death. Jobs abound my ads.
Geez! Maybe you're not getting any offers because you are a belligerent asshole!
I have a problem with Google's new tendency to use UK-centric names for their new photo captcha. They show me photos of burgers and fries, trucks, planes, etc. But they call french fries "chips", airplanes "aeroplanes" and trucks "lorries" or something. It's like the people in charge over there don't understand that on the Internet you must use common, world-wide english, not a dialect specific to a tiny part of the planet.
British English is the standard throughout the world, both in the Anglosphere, and in countries where English is taught as a second language. English did come from England, you know...
It is chosen because it is divisible by 1,2,3 and 4.
You want also divisible by 5. 60. There are reasons why 12 and 60 have been common for time and measurements. So you can describe fractions of something without fractions (or decimal).
10, on the other hand, is less interesting, except that you can count to ten easily on your fingers. (The reason why it was chosen).
No, base 12 is used because the Greys all have 6 fingers on each hand. Duh!
in Britain the higher a politician ranks on a search engine the more likely it is because s/he is somehow involved or implicated in allegations of serious child abuse.
Do you want a paedophile running the country?
(apparently there has been at least one (Edward Heath)).
People tend to idolize too easily. It seems to be part of why we have such a disparity in incomes in this country. Steve Jobs could not have done anything without the engineers at Apple. Credit needs to be spread around more.
You're so right!!! Your intelligence is without bounds!!! Have you written I can read and memorize? Please? You will be my new god!
... on the one article in which the Moo Cow guy should post (e.g., using cow moos to take down drones, or something like that), he can't be bothered to do so (at least, not yet).
Hhhmmmm.... Already modded down and told to "eat a gun" for what should have been understood as an obvious parody of conspiracy theorists, complete with ALL CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!
where scientists blamed it on climate change and demanded a lot of money again? Because that happened. At this point they're like personal injury lawyers; any opportunity to stuff their pockets / I mean save Gaia.
Odd, I read the whole article, and there wasn't a single word about that. Why don't you take a handle blender, and repeatedly fuck yourself with it.
Only because they got caught by external entities. And caused loss of face to "China".
Of course, if it were an American corporation doing this, there would only have been a minor (in terms of corporate profits) fine. No one would even go to prison, or even have to do community service, let alone be executed for causing the deaths of so many people due to knowingly tainted products.
THEY want us to believe that things like defective O-rings and damaged heat shields are the reasons for the Challeger and Columbia disasters! NOT TRUE!!! They space shuttles were SABOTAGED because some of the crew members had discovered the TRUTH that the Apollo moon landings were FAKED!!!
Reagan who, as we should all remember, was funding Al-Queda (should be Al-CIAda!), has a suicide bomber hidden in the orbiter mid-deck, secured in one of the sleeping stations, ready with a block of C4. George W "Twin Towers Assassin" Bush, eager to avoid eerie similarities, had one of the crew as the bomber. This time, he used someone who had been wrung through the CIA's MK-ULTRA program years before. When the appropriate signal was given, KAFLOOEE!
This exhibition is a mockery to those MURDERED by these brutal regimes!!!

Is anybody here really considering voting for him? Or any other republican or democrat? Seriously? We're doomed! Doooomed!
C'mon folks! Get it together here...We still have over a year to find something a bit more acceptable, *a blender, anything*...
This reminds me of what Fry and Laurie suggested to replace Margaret Thatcher.

Privacy is an outdated concept. It is a low price to pay for safety from terrorists.
Says the Anonymous Coward! Perhaps you should check out this concept.

Literally, fuck science. Cops need to trust their instincts, not some beaker pusher or head shrink.
Another quality member of the Atlanta Police. Seriously. At least this one can write in complete sentences.

Yes, that certainly explain the golden parachutes so many bank CEOs got, which is really the norm in the corporacratic world.
I guess Poe's Law is still very much in effect.
