Except that Budweiser is not a pale ale, it's a pilsener.
Pale Ales have flavor, pilseners are just bitter, and thin and taste the same going in as they do coming out.
Not a great analogy. Anti-virus software has been shown to be responsible for exactly what you described, not to mention growing evidence that many virus authors are on the payroll of antivirus companies.
Both my children are far more serious than I was at their age.
I dropped out of UC Berkeley in 1982 (was a Physics major) because I was too stupid to understand that while university wasn't what I had thought it was going to be, it was still the best way to discover the stuff that would interest you for the rest of your life. I stumbled through the first year there, barely matriculating due to an idiotic policy at the time (maybe still extant)- first come first served enrollment in courses - courses that were mandatory for my major. WTF is up with that ?, surely if they're mandatory, I am just automatically enrolled in them; why the fuck should I have to queue up for hours to enroll ?
Anyway, my kids are much more alert to this kind of thing than I was, they are somehow more used to negotiating these types of issues, and playing them to their advantage. They party less. They work with more enthusiasm for their jobs, which they have chosen because they are genuinely interested in them, rather than for the money.
I spent my youth in a cloudy, dream state - which wasn't bad, I'll admit - until I woke up at about age 20 and realized that I had better get my ass in gear and get something done with my life. Even then it took a 6 year stint in the US Navy to turn myself around and become anything like my children are at an earlier age.
Perhaps they have benefited from me explaining some more of the fundamentals of life to them better than my parents did me - although I don't think that's the case. None-the-less, they are certainly nowhere near as lazy as I was, and more conscientious about their place in society too.
Perhaps they're a bit special for their generation, but my experiences with their friends tells me they're not. I have high hopes that their generation will clean up a lot of the mess brought on by my parent's and my generation.
I am a parent, and I also feel like perhaps Kindergrarten should not be about only "play time". By the time I was in 1st grade, everybody could read, Dick and Jane level books. Those books are such beginner level that you wouldn't use them to teach an adult learning a new language.
As an example:
"Who is it?"
Mother said, "It is not DIck. It is not Jane...."
The fact is, most children entering into first grade nowadays aren't at that level. Their parents - frankly - suck !
So, Kindergartens have little choice to spend this time trying to provide the most basic instruction that used to be left to parents.
In fact I vaguely recall that it was mandatory that a child be able to write their own name, and address and telephone number before they could attend Kindergarten. Guaranteed that requirement doesn't exist any more. From some of the stories I have heard, Kindergarten teachers are happy if all their kids are toilette trained.
The answer 61K joules doesn't tell you much unless you are really familiar with energy.
So, let's look at another similar energy values to help us understand how much energy the solar panel experienced (for lack of a better word).
This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... bullet (when fired) has a muzzle energy value of about half that amount. This is basically the size of round fired from a.50 Calibre machine gun. That gun is so large, that it is difficult for one person to carry it, and is normally fired from an anchored position (a mount). This is a common ship-board defense weapon against small craft.
If I open a new spreadsheet (without a template) the default behavior is to convert data types to randomness. Some numbers are interpreted as dates, and so on. Not only that, but frequently, having converted it, I am unable to reset. Instead Excel will display #ERROR or some such nonsense, even though clicking on the cell will show the original data in the toolbar area.
Please tell me you understand why this is a design flaw. The default behavior for an application like Excel should be to preserve data, not convert it. Just as the default behavior for a Word Processor should not include making decisions about how I want text formatted without me explicitly formatting it - changing font, indentation, line spacing, etc. Yet, Microsoft Word does this too, and then doesn't even include an option to show me what formatting codes are responsible, so that I can remove them, and restore the text to un-formatted.
This is simply crap programming from MS, as per usual.
Oh, yeah, the single quote - so obvious that the solution to the problem of Excel's stupid, stupid, stupid default behavior of *silently modifying your data* is to put a freaking Single Quote character in front of every cell data element.
Why can't the default behavior be that the data is just not modified, at all, unless I tell Excel I want it to be.
Let's assume that nobody buys a car before they are old enough to drive - 16 in most US states but let's round it down to 15.
Let's assume that most people beyond the age of 85 don't buy a new car because of failing health, eyesight, finances, etc.
85-15=70
70/2=35
15+35=50
It is completely logical that the median age for a Toyota purchaser is 50 - in fact, I suspect the median age for the purchaser of almost any item other than a lolipop, or adult diapers is about 50.
7.5 billion budget and 60,000 employees works out at 125k per employee.

I am wondering about the economics of this whole system.
What is the real cost of an airplane blowing up ? Not including the human element, it's at most 100 million (average).
Question: If we shut down the TSA, how long would it take for 75 airplanes to be blown up ? Let the free market figure it out. Let's somehow incentivise insurance companies to cover acts of terrorism, then see how long it takes them to insist upon *effective* screening. And see how efficiently it can be done.
Let's be clear. Breakfast is quite literally the first meal you eat after you have gone without food for a length of time. You "break" your "fast"
That's about the only reason to consider breakfast as more important than any other meal. One would hope that the first thing you eat after a fast, no matter how long it is, is something reasonably good for you. In that sense, Breakfast *is* the most important meal.

I particularly enjoy the lack of correct conjugation in that sentence.

Yes, a Flash Video demo.
Ek = 1/2 mv^2
m = 0.001 kg
v = 11,111 m/s
Ek = 61727 joules. That's 14 kilocalories, or about as much energy as in 2 ml of alcohol
...I knew you were a flash in the pan.
Quite possibly the most succinct analysis of Sharepoint I have ever read.

Indeed, and that's why the notion of Breakfast being the most important meal is senseless - in fact it's almost a tautology.
Every meal is the most important.
Let's be clear. Breakfast is quite literally the first meal you eat after you have gone without food for a length of time. You "break" your "fast"
That's about the only reason to consider breakfast as more important than any other meal. One would hope that the first thing you eat after a fast, no matter how long it is, is something reasonably good for you. In that sense, Breakfast *is* the most important meal.
Yep, that's why most of us aren't gazillionaires already.
That's what risk/reward is all about Dude.
