"it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years..."
Note the use of the word "Legally". If you don't like what he did, change the law, don;t bitch about him following it. There are plenty of other corps (such as Apple) doing similar things.
Besides just that fact that what Trump did is actually legal would automatically make it fuck load better than MANY things Clinton and her foundation has done/is doing.
Obviously I'm generalising and this is all my experience, but they're really pretty uncommon especially in nicer restaurants. You see them a lot more in pubs and (mostly American/American-influenced) fast food chains though.
Exceptions are obviously made when serving from the left is not practical, but in most restaurants and when it is practical, it's usually done.
"The SBU wires are lower speed signal wires that is allocated for Alternate Mode use only. USB Power Delivery is required for Alternate Mode negotiation before these pins may be used for any purpose".
Doesn't sound like headphone power-level or analog to me.
Sure its faster when you finally get to the table but that time saving is lost waiting for the table. Thats another wierd US thing, the belief by businesses that its OK to keep people on hold on the phone forever (due to unusuaslly high call volume) or waiting in the entryway for 30 minutes before you even get answered/seated. I bet you never had to wait 30 minutes to get a table in Italy.
Is it considered polite/acceptable in the USA for the waiter to pass plates over, or reach across the table/other people's food? It isn't in the EU. There, waiters are taught to ALWAYS serve from the diners left side, and that the best kind of service is so discreet that the diner didn't even notice it happened. Truly good waiters take pride in turning that into an art form.
It must be a uniquely American thing to equate massive levels of attention with good service. As a Brit now living in the US, all the unwanted interruptions you get when you're just trying to enjoy a slow, peaceful restaurant meal really took some getting used to.
I swear servers actually wait for you to fill your mouth before they comes over and ask "Is everything OK" every 30 seconds.... and whats with the rush to clear plates from the table? especially even before everyone at the table has finished eating? That's considered the height of bad manners in pretty much every other country I've ever lived in or visited.
BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc. They make out like bandits because they reprogram 3rd party parts (transmissons etc) explicitly to make sure they can't be replaced by an otherwise identical part bought direct from the 3rd party manufactuer, then their dealers can and do charge like 3x the actual cost for the same thing and pocket the difference.
Ahh VERY interesting. So all you need is about $500 worth of used broadcast equipment, a bible, a white suit and a fake smile, and you can scam stupid people for donations region-wide on TV for free. Nice.
You're falling into the same broken thinking that the cable companies are doing, and assuming the number of subscribers will remain constant if they do nothing, which is clearly false.
$3*n can be more profitable than $10*n, because the value of n will be different in each case.
There is nothing so special about cable TV channels that they should get protection from free market economics. As far as I'm concerned if a channel has no subscribers then it deserves to die. Per your example, IMHO the less crappy evangelist channels we have the better. For me personally the ideal would be zero, but I get that others may not agree. Let them pay for those channels, not me.
If they let people only pay for the channels they want rather than force them to buy a whole package of useless crap, far fewer people would be cutting the cable. The cable companies have known for years that people want this, but they remain too greedy/arrogant to provide what their own customers actually want, so the market is rightfully killing them off. At some point they will finally be forced to deal with their own egos just to survive, but by then it will already be way too late for them, because most of their market share will have already moved to other sources such as Netflix, Amazon etc. that already do a much better job of meeting individual needs affordably.
Its beyond obvious that Comey is Hillary's stooge. Not only from his conclusions into her investigation but when you dig into the other ties between them. I can't believe how anyone is continuing to take him seriously on anything, especially anything to do with Hillary. Come to that, I can't believe how he's still employed and continuing to avoid his own prison stretch.
An optional temporary solution for certain OfficeJet printers? Wow thats big of them. I'm VERY glad I already broke a long-time habit and chose other than HP for my last printer purchase. With this kind of response from HP I will actively avoid ever buying another HP product.

> Actually, in a lot of law intent is a factor.
A factor in sentencing only. Its not a factor in deciding if you broke the law.
That "highly useful" barometric sensor they put in place of the headphone jack uses 1.21 Jiggawatts.
in the eyes of the law Intent is not a factor, in guilt or innocence, unless you're Hillary Clinton.
again.... its LEGAL.
Also thats how MOST big businesses work these days. Look at Apple.
Don't like it? vote to change the law.

...their first task was to evaluate Hillary for security clearance.
What actually happens if you get elected as POTUS but can't qualify for Top Secret security clearance?
...that said I'm quite happy to believe that in Italy, it took you half an hour to walk from the only free parking spot to the restaurant.

You forgot something: "..which for you will mean an increase of an extra $localizedSupplyAndDemandFactor per month"
>> ..too much of anything is not good for you.
Observant Jews are hardly the perfect model of avoiding too much of anything.

> No, the fact is that nobody can profit from it so why bother.
The brands do, they REALLY do.
> You do, on some level, have to accept on faith that the devil isn't keeping your brain in a vat, tricking you into finding all this science stuff.
No I don't because faith isn't science. I accept that science hasn't proven all things, but I certainly don't need to fill that vacuum with faith.
Nope. Philosophy explicitly can't be proved by scientific method. That's exactly why its philosophy and not science.
Remind me again why society thinks everyone who wants a child MUST get one? ...or why they couldn't have adopted?
Goddammit, I just found a qubit that needed annealing but I think its slipped down the back of the sofa.
