Probably because in this world, employee's are treated like crap all the time. I remember when companies did the right thing at least some of the time and employees did favors for bosses in a pinch. Now it is a game and both employee's and employer's try to screw each other at every opportunity. So the question would be, if I am a pilot do I want to be the chump that does the company a favor by working at the same rate when I know the next chance the company gets they will screw me? I know I'll still do stuff for customers gratis, and I also know I am a dying breed of chumps.
Except under ACA, they probably qualify for free insurance. Which pushes rates up for people that don't. I even saw one report suggesting people keep narcan in their home just in case. WTF.
I was a minor in the 60's and I still knew. Granted I was not a kid that fell for peer pressure much. The problem is that even with the ad's, in fact maybe because of the new ad's kids who smoke will be seen as rebels and become the cool kids again.
Agreed, since probably the late 60's you'd have to have lived under a rock your whole life not to know smoking is bad, very bad. In other news, shooting heroin, along with most other recreational drugs is bad for you too. The unbelievable fact is that your health insurance rates are only increased for smoking.
I've taken front tires out in 20K miles on a 4400 lb car. You have a light foot. TC will not save if you corner aggressively. I regularly hit.9g on corners. Tires are rated for 40K.
Umm, except everyone is telling me autonomous cars are safer than people. Wouldn't the same be true for airlines and with that assumption, the airlines would be more likely to go with autonomous since the cargo is more valuable.
In 1972 the Lockheed L10-11 flew from Dallas to Palmdale (including takeoff and landing) with no pilot. I still don't see an airline without pilots. If anything I'd think trains would run without a pilot and yet they have them too, and they run on fixed tracks. I think self-drive cars may be further out than anyone expects.
Trump is right for the wrong reason. He just hates CNN, so a very bad reason to oppose the deal. The deal should be opposed because mega companies are not good. I could totally see him being ok with ATT merging with VZ though. Especially if he holds stock in both. What is good for trump is good for america and that is the lens he sees everything thru.
In the US some drivers work in teams (hubby & wife) to extend driving times for time sensitive loads. If it is very critical they may even replace the team with a new team so the truck is running continuously.
For me at least, my RA was paid out of a government contract. So likely they would have had to increase my stipend to cover the taxes, which would have meant increasing the cost of the contract the government paid. I think probably most of the RA's are being paid on fed money as it is so all this plan does is increase the revenue/spending circle of the fed tax dollars, The plan is just stupid on so many levels.
Depends on the power company. Austin energy no longer does net metering. They pay me I think 10.6c/KWH and I pay them their standard rates (which are greater than 10.6c/KWH when usage is above 500KWH for the month). They have reduced the 10.6c once (was 11.?) and I expect they will rinse and repeat. As long as you are tied to the grid, their rules. When I installed the system it was net metering. I was not happy with the unilateral change.
Given that when I lived in Tucson the house was cooled by evaporating water (they are called swamp coolers) and the house had no A/C, I just don't see squeezing enough water out of the air to be worth it even with free energy. I think it was like 6-8% relative humidity. There is a reason Tucson has a giant airfield for mothballing thousands of old Air Force planes.
Real gun control in Japan. I worked at a company that would have Japanese clients from time to time. One of their favorite requests was to go shooting at a range. We had an AE that spoke Japanese that would take them.
FYI, none are headless. If you count total linux boxes, add another 10 for beagle bones & pi's. These act as controllers for things like the pool. Check my website if you are looking for a linux based pool controller. I also have another one setup as a irrigation controller as just 2 examples. These SBC's along with ultra cheap P/S's have made it trivial to build stuff.
I've got probably 8 machines, all running Linux. This box is the only one that ever surfs. The others are used for real work. Kind of sad that correct method to determine desktop share is surfing.
TMZ already does this. Ironically they sometimes break news before the big guys because they can afford the reporters. I don't remember the exact numbers, but a NYTimes reporter was lamenting how TMZ had like a dozen reporters at the LA courthouse all the time and the NYT's only had one occasionally. TMZ will pay for tips which also gives them an advantage according the NYT reporter. Interesting times. And yes, full disclosure, I check out TMZ's website from time to time to see if they got a scoop.
Why? 1. More people. 2. They value education. Most kids in the US want to have fun and find all them fereigners a pain because they push up the curve. I know a girl in the math program at UT who is now in her 2nd year and has yet to complete a math class. She might get thru one this semester. She dropped the first 2 she took. 3. They want it. 4. US is spending most of its resources on sports and political fighting. I am not even surprised anymore when I hear about some new left/right wing "think tank". That is pretty much where everything goes these days. Trying to convince others we should spend more/less on ??? or cut/raise taxes.
Perhaps when they stop paying football and basketball coaches obscene salaries and pay professors and grads what they are actually worth the quality at universities will improve.

She must have a light foot. The S is about 5500lbs and if you push that much weight hard it will eat tires.

Umm telephones and text messages still work last I checked. Nope not on FB.

Imagine Apple or Google(well LG, sammy...) fixing a 10 year old phone, or just keeping the software updated.
Why?
1. More people.
2. They value education. Most kids in the US want to have fun and find all them fereigners a pain because they push up the curve. I know a girl in the math program at UT who is now in her 2nd year and has yet to complete a math class. She might get thru one this semester. She dropped the first 2 she took.
3. They want it.
4. US is spending most of its resources on sports and political fighting. I am not even surprised anymore when I hear about some new left/right wing "think tank". That is pretty much where everything goes these days. Trying to convince others we should spend more/less on ??? or cut/raise taxes.
I'm not sure it is this. Could also be the robots are coming after MY job this time. Machines good as long as it was someone else's job.
Perhaps when they stop paying football and basketball coaches obscene salaries and pay professors and grads what they are actually worth the quality at universities will improve.
Fixed it for you.
