As the timeline has been altered, the circumstances leading Spock to be more strictly logical have been altered, and he secretly leans more towards his human, emotional side.
But make Sulu gay? THIS SHALL NOT STAND!
So, *circumstances* lead someone to be gay? It's not an inherent trait? See how that can be an issue?
Bomb squads keep explosives around to destroy bombs. The standard operating procedure is to pick up the suspicious device, put it in a big, steel, blast-proof vessel, and use a glob of plastic explosive to blow it up.
I was interested in computers since I was around 7. My first computer was a V-Tech "Learning Computer" which barely did anything, but I played with it all the time. My dad bought a used VIC-20 from a friend, and I sat with this book and tape until I could program Basic:
It's not technically a "free speech" issue, since it's not a Government agency forcing this..and at this time the only "free speech" restrictions are the Government, a private corp can do whatever it wants inside it's contractual agreements.
Inside it's contractual agreements is the key phrase. If the apartment complex changes it's leasing terms, you pretty much can get out of your lease instantly, as the original contract you signed is now invalid. A contract that says the terms are whatever one party wants it to be is unenforceable, all the terms need to be laid out at the time of signing. Any modifications need to be agreed to by all parties. It may be slightly different for rental contracts, but the basic stipulation applies.
There may be additional regulations that apply to rental contracts as well. Generally you can't lump terms into rental agreements that are completely outside the scope of renting an apartment. You can write in that the renter has to maintain the lawn. You can't write in that the renter has to take care of the super's parent's house. I think regulating social media activities falls pretty far outside the scope of renting a piece of real estate.
Can you explain why unemployment (or more accurately, the labor force participation rate isn't a priority in your analysis?
Because, if your country is experiencing stagflation, your employment rate is going to be pretty darn low. Fixing that situation should be #1 on your list of priorities.
There are, of course, lots of other important factors to take into consideration for a healthy economy, but if you are setting your economy up for deflation, that's the only factor that you really need to pay attention to, because it's going to affect *everything* else.
Think if it this way - unemployment is like cancer and deflation is like a heart attack. If you have cancer and are having a heart attack - you still need to take care of the cancer somehow, but if you don't take care of the heart attack first, the cancer is kind of moot.
It's because China is using a protectionist practice.
Western scholars figured out the problem with this practice hundreds of years ago. Problem is - it screws with your money supply something fierce. You end up having to radically manipulate your money supply, and you wind up with deflation and endless stimulus spending. Japan did the same thing in the 70's and 80's, and they've been paying for it over the last two decades (stagflation in the 90's-2000's, deflation since then.) China's turn is coming up soon.
And Peep and the Great Big World is a friggin' amazing show. But for every decent show there are a dozen Baby Genius, Leapfrog, Animal Mechanicals, Barney, etc...
Most kids shows on Netflix have bad ratings because most kids shows on Netflix are garbage. There are a few good ones - those generally have better ratings. They stock up on those ultra-cheap Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks knock-off "movies" from Brazil, there are a ton of them. They also stock up on cheaply made "educational" TV shows made for the FCC's educational requirement.
I like the breakfast menu analogy better, as it's closer to what an API actually looks like and, usually, behaves. It's really just a list of things that trigger off actions. Those actions vary from restaurant to restaurant. The car analogy isn't quite as close, IMHO, as mechanically you are much closer to doing the work.
Why would someone get a per-device royalty for talking into a microphone for a couple of weeks? Do the icon designers get a per-device cut? Do the programmers? The industrial design guys?
If you want a per-device cut, go out and design and build your own device.
I find it hard to believe that something in one quantity can cook meat, but doesn't destabilize tiny atoms when in a lower quantity. (And we are talking quantity here, right? Given that the frequency and amplitude are relatively constant?)
That's because the amount of energy needed to increase Brownian motion is orders of magnitude less than the amount of energy needed to pry atomic bonds apart.
Also, the amount of energy released by a microwave oven is orders of magnitude higher than a cell phone, and is directional (IE it's not omnidirectional like a cell phone antenna)
As I understood, the fear is not about ionization, but about the biological effect of modulated signals.
Modulation doesn't matter. The frequency of the modulation doesn't matter. It would be like saying that, at the same volume, classical music is perfectly harmless but reggae will destroy your hearing. All that matters is the volume.
Other than that, the reason you can hear cell phone signals on a radio receiver is the cell signal is causing the radio receiver circuit to heterodyne. Unless the human body has some sort of natural frequency shifting circuit and amplifier, a cell signal isn't going to cause a low frequency harmonic in your organs.
The problem with Venus, as with Mars, is the lack of a decent magnetosphere. Earth's magnetosphere is it's "Secret Sauce." It's difficult to get a decent biome going when every medium-sized gamma burst from the sun bombards the planet's surface. You could build lead-lined underground bunkers and grow everything using redirected light from sonotubes, but then you might as well just colonize the moon.
The cost of housing in San Francisco has absolutely no relationship to the cost of building a house in San Francisco.
The issue is there isn't enough housing. Adding to the cost of building homes doesn't incentivize building more homes. When you increase taxes on cigarettes do people buy more cigarettes?
This is actually something that is of benefit to this initiative.
What? What initiative? Affordable housing or bolting solar panels to everything?
The housing prices are so removed from reality that no one will notice an extra few thousand spent on a solar panel.
It's pretty far from a few thousand. A cheap system averages $25,000 to $30,000, without incentives, for a single house. It's not just the cost of the panels, it's the inverter and electrical hookups.
I'm thinking more along the lines of apartment buildings. You want to incentivize builders to put up affordable apartments. Forcing them to pay hundreds of thousands, or millions, of dollars for a solar system isn't going to help.

This is how government works. Keep having referendums until the voters get it right.
You are totally innocent. Your stuff, however, is totally guilty. Try to prove otherwise!

How many working, deployed hardware implementations have there been?
Beyond that, people think if you eat genetically modified RNA, it will get into YOUR DNA.

They are 24% heavier than the same-sized ICE vehicle.
It's being built by DAMAC properties, Trump's company designed the golf course and put it's name on the project.

A more proper statement would be - A company that is licensing Trump's name and using his design firm uses slave labor.
Well, according to an anonymous source it's slave labor.
Hell, truthy enough for politics, right? //Not a Trump supporter

US companies don't use Panama as an anonymous tax shelter. They use Belize.
The dump was from a Panamanian law firm that set up shell companies. Europeans like Panama. US companies like Belize. And, sometimes, Barbados.

San Francisco seems to be having a pretty major housing issue. What's the best fix? Make it more expensive to build things!
