...or is anyone else also concerned about the long-term safety of a fairly high-powered microwave transmitter strapped to the same location of your wrist for days/months/years?
Of course it is. The common sense to not step into place of potentially fatal danger without first at least checking is basic survival as old as life itself.
I personally believe that this ongoing mission to eliminate all forms of natural selection and safeguard more and more stupid people is actually a bad thing for the human race going forward..
>> 65 percent of e-cigarette users had tried to quit smoking... About 8 percent of e-cig users succeeded in quitting for at least three months
Wow that's a pretty big fail rate. Is E-Cig juice really so addictive? If so shouldn;t it be banned? I mean what about people that are now hooked on vaping that never were cig smokers?
So you seriously think that expecting muslims to follow through on their own promises and actually take a stand against terrorism is somehow committing an anti-islamic "jihad" (assuming there can be such a thing)?
As for your ridiculous strawman argument: At what point did I ever even suggest that I support muslim fundamentalist violence against other muslims? Of course I don't. At least respond to what I actually said please, not just presume its OK to put your own liberal insanity in my mouth too.
The Israelis don't need to blow themselves up. They have enough money coming from US-based Jews and the US government to buy endless military vehicles like jets and big fucking tanks that they regularly use to bomb and bulldoze the homes of legal civilian residents of Palestine and the Gaza strip, and also to starve them out by blockading aid and food trucks getting to them.
Totally agree. The fact that they pay lip-service to fighting terrorism but continue to let these radicalized psychos hide out in their communities is the clear indicator of the actual mindset of these so-called "moderates".
>> Why would you think that housing or food or bus rides would dramatically increase?
Well it won't rise dramatically, just enough along with everything else to totally consume your free 10k/yr (or whatever). Let me ask you why would you think it wouldn't?
>> Prices are set by what most people WILL pay,
Exactly. and when everyone has an extra 10k/yr (or whatever), everyone WILL pay an extra 10k/yr (or whatever).
Its a turd and I keep finding bugs in it and relatively obvious ways to break it. Apparently no one writing systemd actually tests their code before checking it in.
>> What makes you think there wouldn't be competition for the newly funded people's money?
because its not a true free market. Of course there's competition but they all agree to not go below a certain point, so they all make a big profit.
Its the same reason I'm paying $67/month for cable internet here in the US (even though its like $15/month in the EU for fibre) and a new cellphone costs $700, even though it almost certainly costs a handful of $ per unit to make.
Yes of course there are exceptions. When people talk about groups (e.g. guys are....) they generally mean "on average", unless they say something like ALL guys are....
Also if you don;t mind me saying... if he is as you say.your BF is a COMPLETE control freak. ALL those people are more trouble than they're worth and you need to dump him before it causes you a lot of pain before inevitably going nowhere.
Unlike what most people apparently believe, the market price for something has almost nothing to do with the actual cost of producing it. It is actually entirely based on supply and demand. The price for things fluctuates accordingly.
So assuming everyone gets say $10k/yr just for being alive, the average cost of living will just very quickly go up by $10k/yr, leaving a net benefit of exactly 0 even possibly a negative benefit because we will have to pay more income tax because of our "free" income. For the rest of us, the higher cost of living just means everything is more expensive and the really poor will just suffer more.
I put it down to most companies increasingly blatant exploitation of their employees leading to said employees being less inclined to work long extra hours on demand for nothing in return, not even any credible guarantees of continued employment..

Assuming its not in the same spot all day every day, not really.
No, we THINK we know what microwaves do.

>> nor is having to watch out for such.
Of course it is.
The common sense to not step into place of potentially fatal danger without first at least checking is basic survival as old as life itself.
Yes I think you hit the nail well and truly on the head my friend.

>> Why would it be banned if cigs aren't?
Because its new. ITs too late to ban cigs so they have been grandfathered in. If cigs came out now they would be banned straight away.

Thats some fucked up logic you have right there.

We're beyond already there.
>> you can pack 6 of them on the road compared to every car, and are extremely low cost so they promote upward mobility of most workers
Typical American. Space, cost and upward mobility do not outweigh being able to breathe.
Not really. You just dont use any production systems at all.

No. How about you respond to what I actually wrote instead of putting words in my mouth.
Totally agree. Yaaaay for yet another case of natural selection in action. Just happened a few months too late.
