Florida does have a drainage problem but that doesn't mean there is not also a water shortage. Saltwater intrusion is a major problem because of the amount of water being sucked out of the ground by all the people living in the coastal areas.
Nitrogen makes the sky look blue to an observer standing on the ground, but that is a scattering effect, and I doubt it has much affect on the color of a planet as observed from space, which is mostly about the light reflected from the surface (or clouds).
As far as I can tell from the preview, eth ( Ð ð ) comes through fine but thorn ( ) does not. Let's see how it looks once I post. But you can see them both here.
Th as always been a bad choice, it represents 2 different sounds, neither of which really sound like the combination of t and h. I support the use of eth and thorn in English.
There are plenty of fossils from 100 million years ago. Those represent just the tiny percentage of animals that got accidentally buried somehow. We bury our dead on purpose, often with jewelry and in caskets that have metal parts, etc., embalmed, and all lined up in neat rows. I would think there would be plenty of evidence, even in 100 million years. Plus we generate an enormous quantity of artifacts, many of which are at least as durable as bone, and most of which end up in landfills, which is pretty ideal for preservation. The buildings will collapse pretty quickly, but much else will remain. Interestingly the pyramids will probably be around long after most modern buildings, since they are pretty much solid stone and in the desert.
I don't know what you are doing, and I am not familiar with Jeeps, but I have never stripped a torx and I have stripped hundreds of phillips heads. I would outlaw phillips heads if I could.
The US constitution doesn't use this word. The declaration of independence does but it doesn't say anything about the right to not incriminate yourself, and doesn't have standing as a legal document in the US anyway.
Despite being more than half the size of the one that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in February, the 30-foot-wide asteroid posed no threat, according to NASA.
So despite being smaller than something that actually hit earth and did no significant damage, it posed no threat? Wow, that is sure surprising! Who writes this shit?
Note that such a thing is the basis for treason..."Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
Except he didn't actually levy war on anyone, nor collaborate in any way with our enemies. All he did was trash talk. So there is no way this would be considered treason in the US. The US Constitution defines treason very narrowly, and for a damn good reason, because it was and is used to stifle freedom of speech in other countries.
Yeah, the $50 gift card as a Christmas bonus (yes, I got that once) is worse than saying "we're sorry, we can't afford anything this year". It's an insult.
The low deductible plans still have a deductible (at least the PPOs do, the POS/HMO might not), so the difference is not 8k (actually 8k must have been my previous employer, I just looked at my current plan and the deductible is 3k. This is for employee+1. Plus my employer contributes a big chunk to my HSA with the HD plan so I come out way ahead with the HD plan).
Plus if you really have a catastrophic illness or injury the max out-of-pocket is the only important number - health care is not free once you reach the deductible, you still have to pay a percent until you reach the max out-of-pocket number, so that number is the only one that affects your finances. The difference in my plans for that number is also about equal to the difference in the premiums.
I agree it's just one of many factors, and I've worked for bad companies with good freebies. But the well-stocked breakroom costs them so little money compared to everything else that when they do cut that cost it is a bad sign, i.e. the "canary in the coal mine" reference in the summary is accurate. I've seen it happen.
My last 2 employers have given me a choice of several plans, but the high-deductible plan was always the best deal. The premiums are so much lower that they make up for the deductible. Put the savings on the premium into a savings account and use it to pay the deductible. If you really do get sick enough to max out the deductible it will cost a little more (but not a lot) but otherwise you save a ton of money. Plus they cover 100% of preventative care, which the regular plans don't. The deductibles are 8-10k, which I can afford to pay out-of-pocket, but even if I couldn't most providers will setup a payment plan and you can pay it off over time with the savings from the premium. Maybe you have a crappy employer with no choices on the plan and a bad deal on the one they offer, but that has nothing to do with it being a high-deductible plan.
The main problem with your argument is that we are already paying for the treatment of the hobo and the gangbanger, and we always have been. We don't let people die on the curb outside the hospital. The costs are factored into the medical bills and insurance of those who can pay. And for most diseases it is far cheaper to do preventative treatment or early treatment. So universal healthcare saves everyone money.
Many doctors declare that they are closing up their practices before Obamacare kicks in.
citation? (and anecdotal quotes from a few right-wing nut-cases saying they will close their practices don't count, because in most cases they won't close their practices (just like none of them moved to Canada when Obama got elected), and even if one does it is just one person, not statistically significant.)
This is not necessarily all bad, since rich people may be less corruptible, since they don't need the money.
How do you think they got rich in the first place? Yes, I know a few people got rich by some combination of hard work, smarts, and luck, but in general those people aren't going to go into politics (they've got better things to do). Some people get rich by inheritance, and they often go into politics, but are generally entitled out-of-touch shits with no idea how to govern or do anything else worthwhile. And then there are all the people who got rich by some form of swindling or corruption, and they love to go into politics (if not already there).

So NYT is claiming they were doing scheduled maintenance during the busiest time of the day. Really? Who the f*ck is running their IT department?

Vixen just means female fox, and the connotations you are thinking of post-date Latin by at least a millennium.

True, and Ringo was not the original drummer for the Beatles, but it's kinda silly to count it that way.
Lets think long term and unethically, which I suspect defines a fairly large number of politicians.
I think short term and unethical describes the thinking of many more.
you'd need incredibly twisted logic and totally ass-backward laws to support these ideas.
yeah, cause it's not like we have any twisted logic or totally ass-backward laws is today's legal system

At 65,000 miles out, its not flying. (its in orbit around the sun)
Even if it entered the atmosphere it wouldn't be flying, it would be falling (and burning up quickly).
Unfortunately, when they don't get / lose a job because of something that was found online they will realize the importance
It's highly unlikely the employer will tell them why they didn't get the job, so they probably won't realize.
They'll be the only ones without an online record of all the stupid stuff they did as teens.

Presumably some of them were detonated and therefore known for certain to not exist.
