Back in the old days, I used to ask for the afternoon off every once in a while and then show up for work that day in a nice suit. Everybody figured it was for a job interview and I got another raise.
... if my web browser already uses the X-UIDH header label? If Verizon monkeys with it, they could be breaking some app. And get charged with tampering. Never mind that I just set it to:
X-UIDH: Go suck an egg.
And if only a few people directed their web traffic through a simple proxy that rewrites the X-UIDH header, we could really screw with Verizon's plans.
More expensive than simply shattering some rock down to the desired granularity.
Perhaps we could sinter fine desert sand into larger, coarse particles suitable for beaches. Focused solar energy as a heat source is one possibility.
A lot of beach sand is actually broken up sea shells. Calcium carbonate. If we could find a way to sequester CO2 by producing CaCO3 and using that to bind desert sand particles together, we could use that to solve the erosion plus global warming problems.
The Elwha dam removal project may turn out to be a shot in the foot of all the fish people.
For years, we have all been taught, and regulations and law have been made based upon the 'science' that salmon are unique to individual tributaries. In fact, the claim is that each local population is a unique species (because language in Endangered Species Act is set up to protect unique species). But then the Elwha dams came down. And the newly wild stretches of river are being repopulated by salmon. Not the same runs that lived there before. Just some fish that happened to be passing by on their way elsewhere (someplace that the fish people claim they were driven to seek) and they said, "Hey. Lets check this place out!" And the stories we have been told are turning out to be pure b*llshit.
So, salmon are salmon. And habitat is habitat. And we should be able to trade the Elwha for the Snake river. Or some hatcheries.
The fish people go absolutely ape-shit over hatchery fish. Weaker* (they claim) than native runs. But stronger in that they can't be allowed to compete and must be hand sorted out of the returning runs whenever possible.
*There was some truth to this back when hatcheries were first started. People didn't understand genetics and diversity as well and would create an entire crop from one or two females and males. Now we know better and can easily mix and match genetic materials across multiple populations (Copper river salmon in Lake Washington anyone). And perhaps produce more robust runs than even nature could create.
... wants you badly enough, they won't go through recruiters. They call directly. And if you are being hired by some company to work on a proposal for some knowledgeable customer, that customer will suggest that they want certain people on the job.
When a company flys you to their HQ for an interview (on their nickel), that's a good sign. When they fly one of their senior people out to talk to you, that's better.
Some Chinese employees will work for the CCP or its affiliates as a "side job" money through internal networking.
You think Snowden was an anomaly? Only in that he went public with the data he swiped. This stuff goes on all the time between the CIA/NSA/FBI and various private corporations. Just replace the Communist Party with the names of some large DoD contractors and the behavior is remarkably similar.
Now your cafeteria is in competition for yet another worker skill and that against your engineering department,
Using an abacus (or slide rule) was taught in many countries in grade school and was (might still be in some contries) a prerequisite for a high school diploma (or its equivalent). The experience and speed comes from working with one on a daily basis in a checkout line.
... secrecy is what the lizard people want. And since this agreement is for their benefit and necessary for their plans to subjugate the human race, we must comply. That's the current rumor and, until participants in the TPP provide better information on what's being discussed, its the best one we have.

It will be revealed where Han Solo has been stashing all those NHTSA recall notices.

The crisis is over. Everyone back to your SUVs.
We are also running out of idiotic tree huggers
Just plant trees. They will attract the tree-huggers.
The problem is that all the good cove property is taken and the real estate industry needs to foist eroding headlands off onto someone.
It appears that Mount Stupid may be made entirely of Dark Matter.

Or black, let's not forget that.
Perhaps they'll legalize that in the next election cycle. We can only hope.
Already have too many slow drivers in that state.
Glad they didn't say "football-sized" or we'd have to go down that whole units thread yet again.

I'm pretty sure chasing black people around with hound dogs qualifies as a major sporting event down south.

Ever seen a race between an experienced abacus (or slide rule) user and calculator user? Often times, the old technology wins.
