If the science is correct, hiypertension damages blood vessel walls, leading to more plaque (scarring) formation, further narrowing them, leading to... more hypertension.
If this was true, there would be plenty of supporting evidence. There isn't.
Microsoft was bad because they abused their dominance. Today, more people run Android than Windows, and Microsoft's dominance is fading. They may still be evil at heart, but they have less leverage to cause harm.
Comparing Amazon to the old Microsoft is silly. Cloud services are not like OSes and office suites. If Amazon fails to provide good service at a fair price, their customers can go elsewhere without much trouble.
healthy working hours, vacation time, enough time off to cook healthy food and spend time with family = less stress.
In the short term, stressful situations can cause your blood pressure to rise. But over the long run, there is no causal link established between stress and permanently high blood pressure.
Minecraft is a platform, not a language. You can write plugins using C++, Python, or other languages. The video shows a Scratch-like drag-n-drop language. It looks like a good way to get kids interesting in programming.
You forgot the part about it being DESIGNED and SOLD by an American based company.
The tax has nothing to do with where it was designed. If an American company has a design center overseas, they pay the same tax as if it was designed in America. If a foreign company employs American designers, they pay no tax on overseas sales.
The only thing that makes a difference is where the money is INVESTED after it is collected. It is taxed if it is invested in America, creating American jobs. It is not taxed if it is invested overseas.
No other country attempts to collect extraterritorial tax on sales outside their borders. And certainly no other country is idiotic enough to use such a tax to penalize investment and job creation.
No they aren't. Conservatives disagree, and even strongly disagree, with progressives. But actual censorship is coming from only one side.
A conservative who complains about liberals censoring free speech, then turns around and wants to ban flag burning, is a hypocrite.
Please provide an actual recent example of liberal views being silenced. It is easy to find dozens of examples of conservative speakers prevented from speaking on college campuses and other venues. The opposite is rarely true.
Much of this is due to the distribution of political viewpoints. Most conservative areas have plenty of liberal people. Even the "reddest" of congressional districts are ~30% Democrat. But there are some areas, including college towns, that are overwhelmingly Democrat, so many liberals don't know a single person that is openly conservative. This leads them to believe that conservative opinions are not only wrong, but are evil and immoral, and should not even be expressed.
This extreme fastidiousness is also why Japan's suicide rate is higher than the US homicide rate and suicide rate combined.
There is more to it than that. In Japanese culture, suicide is often perceived as honorable. So that makes it a more acceptable way to deal with problems.
The suicide rate in Hungary, Poland, and Russia is higher than in Japan. Even in America, the suicide rate is nearly twice the homicide rate.
Much of TFA is misleading. Google, Facebook, and Apple all have privacy statements that expressly and unambiguously state that they DO NOT share your data with anyone. Perhaps they are lying, but TFA provides no evidence whatsoever that they are.
Amazon's privacy statement says that they DO share your data, and describes who they share it with, and why.
Microsoft's privacy statement appears to have been drafted by a large team of lawyers, working with their PR department, to say as little as possible about anything. It even has a subsection on "Fitness and Health"... that says nothing about privacy.
Lumping all these companies together is very misleading and unfair.
In China, these were mostly within the political class. Stalin and Hitler tried to exterminate entire ethnic groups.
The famine of 1966 was Mao just getting warmed up.
The famine of 1966 killed only 2 million. Heck, even Pol Pot killed more than that. The "Great Leap Forward" famine of 1959-61 killed far, far more, and was caused almost entirely by incompetence.
There might be a clue in that in both species grandmothers play an important role in caring for and training their son's children.
Actually, human grandmothers help with their daughter's children. Not so much with their son's children.
Several studies, including this one, have found that when the maternal grandmother is part of the household, children grow faster and are more likely to survive. Paternal grandmothers confer far less benefit, and may actually be detrimental.
Orcas live in matrilineal pods, and grandmothers generally have no role in rearing their sons' offspring.
Disclaimer: My wife's mother lives with us, and my kids are doing fine. So there you go.
You want real mass murder? Check out Stalin and Moa.
You are comparing apples and oranges. Although Mao killed more people than either Stalin or Hitler, the vast majority of those deaths were from economic incompetence rather than intentional malice. They died from a man made famine, not in death camps or gulags.
Selenium. Web automation used to be the only area where Firefox was clearly superior. But they broke it with FF version 54, and there appears to be no plans to fix it.
they made you take a class to touch just about every tool
The classes were quick and hands-on, often just 20-30 minutes, with plenty of practical tips in addition to safety. I never felt they were a problem, and I learned something in every class, even when I had previously assumed I was an "expert"
It couldn't possibly be that it was a stupid, pointless, unworkable idea.
It may have been financially unworkable, but it was neither stupid nor pointless. I was a member for years, and used it for plenty of prototyping projects. They had CNC machine tools, laser cutters, welding equipment, a full woodworking ship, 3D printers, and even sewing machines (for "welding with cloth").
They always seemed pretty busy, so I am not sure why they failed. I am sorry to see them go. This could have a detrimental effect on the local economies, since a lot of members were working on startup ideas.
The only drawback for me was the age limit. Much of the equipment had a minimum age of 18, so my kids couldn't come with me to work on their own projects.

Microsoft is still as bad as they have ever been

Now get back to work.
According to my psychologist, it's the same thing.
Yes, they are the same thing, but "Aspergers" has been dropped from the DSM, so "high-functioning autism" is now the technically correct term.
I control my DJI drone with my burner phone, not my primary device. There is nothing on it for them to steal.

General discontent with conservatives is somewhat deserved
Feeling discontent does not justify censorship. You can disagree with someone without trying to silence them.
You forgot the part about it being DESIGNED and SOLD by an American based company.

Who pays the tax on a good? The consumer. Raise the taxes on a good? Guess who still pays. The consumer.
You are missing the point. If a German buys a phone made in China, the American government doesn't collect any tax. Many Americans feel that is wrong.
Roy Moore is Trump's hand-picked child molester
Trump supported Luther Strange, Roy Moore's primary opponent, so no, Moore is not a "hand-picked" child molester.
Now, to be fair, so are most conservatives.
No they aren't. Conservatives disagree, and even strongly disagree, with progressives. But actual censorship is coming from only one side.

They still do. Polls consistently show that viewers of Fox News ...
Fox News is a cable company, not broadcast TV.
THIS BULLSHIT TODAY is orders-of-magnitude worse than the 1996 changes.
The difference is that in 1996 it actually mattered, because people still got their news from broadcast TV and radio.

People already allow housekeepers and babysitters into their homes. How is this different?
Which is why the West and especially the US has been more agile in its development over the last few hundred years.
China has developed as much in 30 years as Europe did in those few hundred years.
Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are all democracies, but most of their development occurred while they were repressive dictatorships.
It is not at all clear that tolerance of political dissent is necessary for economic development or technical innovation.

Any entity that cannot stand strong in the face of criticism does not deserve to be empowered, for they are weak.
The belief that criticism should be tolerated is a product of the Western Age of Enlightenment. That belief is not held by most non-Western cultures.
