No, they didn't they had 59. Moreover, republicans weren't just filibustering, they were placing anymous holds on every single piece of legislation during that time period on the condition the the democrats pass the tax cuts for the rich they demanded? remember those? Now they want to worry about the deficit. This is seriously 100% the fault of the 2008's senate republicans.
The fun thing about American politics that republicans have discovered is this: It doesn't matter is a smear is true, it definetly doesn't matter if it's hypocritical, as long as you repeat an ambiguous one or two key accusations, they'll stick.
Yep, there's no way Keynes ever cited historical precedent regarding the mechanics of behaviorism. There's no way that field has been refined through better mathematics, theoretical corrections, and observational studies since then, either. Keynes totally just wrote novels where characters who agreed with him turned out to be right and everyone else died. Marx was a little different, being that he was a philosopher; anyone who trusts philosophers to make insights about the world as it is, instead of insights about modes of thoughts and approaches to understanding, are deluding themselves.
That's not the same. Trains aren't routed. They do extremely well with long distance deliver effectiveness. They do extremely poorly with short distance efficiency. Two completely different problems. Trains solve weight*distance/energy. This purports to solve #ofdestinations/energy.
I'd like to point out that these are all either problems faced with city water systems, the internet, or traditional shipping. People tend to be pretty miffed if a water line bursts, their ISP loses power, or a UPS truck is totaled with their fragile package on board. The reality is people tend to survive these sorts of failures becomes it's not actually deadly to go without water for 2 hours. Your grocery parcel can probably wait a day without you starving.
Ported is kind of the wrong term. The dark alliance games had nothing to do with the PC series by the same name. They both just took place in the same Pen-And-Paper setting. Believe it or not, there was a Neverwinter Nights game that had nothing to do with the more recent ones made in the 80s. As long as you acknowledge that Dark Alliance had nothing to do with Baldur's Gate besides being in the city of Baldur's Gate, it was an ok-ish game.
Yeah, it's not like they had D's when you were young. Kids these days with their D's and their getting driver's licenses at 16. We had it so much tougher.
No, this is wrong. Where did you learn your orbital mechanics? There's another major factor in the orbit time of satellites: the mass of the star. The more massive the star a planet orbits, the faster its period will be for a given distance.
That may be reasonable from an empathy standpoint, but you're completely ignoring the fact that we live in a modern society with specialization of labors.
As unfair as it is, some people find that military service is the kind of job that suits them personally, while others do things like law, IT, engineering, or a host of other specializations. Your argument is totally valid for any sort of draft, though. Drafts should start with children of elected officials.
What on earth made you think that taxes were my main point in that statement. I addressed them last, after the problems like jailing people for harming no one but themselves, driving gambling underground where fraud would be more prevalent, and arbitrarily restricting peoples' recreational activity choices. The taxes are a secondary concern, and you should feel ashamed for such cherry picking of my arguments. I suspect youu won't, but you should.
I know. But its so much worse of an idea than forbidding citizens from doing something they enjoy or care about, sending some to jail for such excellent reasons as otherwise they might be poorer, driving the behavior underground where the poor saps can be robbed with no recourse, and then not get any taxes from it at all. That would be not nearly as bad.
Your point is so excellent.
The reason that that was presented as an argument that ginko doesn't work as described was because the alternative medicine industry frequently made such claims. And unlike vague claims of improving memory and mental performance, Alzheimer's had a very clear medical definition of symptoms which could be assessed somewhat objectively.
Alternative medicine, like many pseudosciences relies on moving the goalposts as a means of protecting its arguments from invalidation. Its claims are prone to scope creep by those looking to make a buck, since almost no claim is ever scientifically verified. For modern medicine, verification of basic claims comes before marketing, and unproven claims are not allowed by law. The end result is you don't have scummy claims like those regarding Alzheimer's disease above. The original introducers of ginko giloba never made any such claim about it, but because there was no grounded research about it's subject before it was sold, it was marketed with any extraordinary claim that a savvy businessman thought might catch a few suckers.
The point of this post is that your analogy is unreasonable because people were making claims about Alzheimer's and Dementia, and another unresearched claim on a similar subject being demonstrated to be false is a reasonable point to note. These days, medical treatment is the realm of science, not intuition, and when things start unsupported by science, there's a pretty slim chance that it really has any medical meaning. The low hanging fruit of natural solutions has already been found(e.g. drink lots of water/juice when you're sick, eat vegetables, exercise frequently: these are all things you'll hear from your doctor in spite of them not being big pharmaceutical cash cows) .
Good god, who mods you people up.
Here's an interesting thing about global warming research. Whether a scientist's discoveries support or debunk global warming hypotheses, they still get the same amount of grant money. "The money" would only influence the topics a researcher would pick to study, not their results, unless there was some specific expectation for what they get.
This. Is. Crazy. Can you not see in your own post that you're claiming a massive global conspiracy and not even ascribing a source of motivation to the people doing the work? Is this some kind of Poe's Law thing, because it's not funny. Part of the point of a conspiracy is that those participating gain a benefit through its exploitation. You're alleging that these scientists don't know anything about the massive liberal coverup they're participating in, but at the same time are actively working towards it.
Can you not see that what you're saying is at least a little delusional? Is this honestly the reality you see around you?
Pandemic studios never made anything worth having, and all their crap seemed to be loaded with what might be called EA problems.
I won't miss EA Game Originally Produced by Another Divsion III: the dead horse chronicles.
If the problem were seriously bad music would be people be pirating it. That is the worst possible justification of piracy ever. Besides these are people selling fraudulent copies. Real album covers, real stores, real money. Their goal is to make money off of work they did not create. It's slimy and evil, and they have no sympathy from me.
I always thought bundling useful tools with an operating system(i.e. IE) was a poor example of leveraging a monopoly to corner a market.
However, discontinuing support for old products to FORCE new ones on customers, that is leveraging a monopoly in an anti-competitive manner. This is a much more reasonable case to take against Microsoft's more shady practices.
Oh yes, you're right, there's no way you could sell the device you just invented. It's absolutely impossible that this money is just padding for the billions such an invention would actually be worth. Researches have to fit all their budget into incentive money and never have private investors as well.
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm also fairly certain that copyrightable material produced by the federal government of the United States is automatically public domain and could not be placed under a more restrictive license such as any copyleft. The office of the president elect is under the purview of the General Services Administration, and I imagine would be under similar requirements.

Yeah, because Peru is "3rd world" it must be a shithole where no one can eat or survive, right? Not every developing country is Somolia.

... demanded a $799 license fee from every sufferer of Alzheimer's Disease, since he owns the copyrights to the disease.
Darl: "How dare you develop that disease without paying me first!"
They all just forgot.

They're not trucks at all. Trucks are massively wasteful. Here's a hint: not every delivery(especially home or office) is shipping container sized.

Not if it has a small chance of making them less likely to be caught. Then there is a huge incentive.

This guy was annoying them with all his "help." No one promised a return ticket.
Yeah - and any missing DNA can just be taken from common frog species!
Whatever it takes to get two of them. Once we have those, we can get to the REAL science. Large Hadrosaur Collider.

Well, I for one, welcome our new national guard overlords.
