The government should keep indemnifying the plants, for the good of the planet (Mother Gaia). Price isn't everything -- we can afford it if we stop sending our military scum on homicide sprees halfway around the world. Want an example to look up to? Look at France.
The majority of users running DESKTOP Chrome are mobile? Allah forbid that there would be two versions with two interfaces, one for mobile, one for not. This is just Scroogle Scroogling its sheep... I mean customers.
Problem is that welding the same fucking thing day in, day out, or plumbing, or residential electric can get boring as shit for an intelligent person after a few weeks to months. Manual labor should be a choice, but it shouldn't be a forced choice, either.
That's why you don't accumulate "things" and/or end up holding a giant Craigslist sale a week before a move. Other than a few sentimental items and my personal data on a few hard disks, I could sell everything tomorrow, move across the country or abroad, and not feel any loss.
Agreed: I worked in a call center for a major US phone co back in the 90s. I was told to write customer issues down on a paper pad, wasn't given a computer to look up customer accounts, and was told to lie that I was looking up account info despite having to capacity to do so. Got myself fired after about a week -- I ended up telling quite a few customers the whole story for fun and giggles.
The high-school grads that couldn't get a job without a college degree probably ended up going to college (which you can do relatively cheaply in CA thanks to socially liberal policies) and working work-study jobs (no longer unemployed).
It's not that "college education causes unemployment", it's that the high-school grads that aren't able to get a long-term job with only an HS education typically continue their education, thus removing themselves from the "HS grads only" group.
If the water is clean enough to have a cafeteria at work and to run a soda fountain, it's clean enough to drink. Any old fountains can be replaced with newer ones... Some newer ones are even designed to fill reusable bottles -- they have a counter for "plastic bottles saved."
Blah, blah, blah. Kids can survive without being wrapped in bubble wrap. Also, once kids stop using a sippy-cup, I imagine most of them drink from glasses made of glass.
We're talking about food vendors, right? Most food carts aren't on Grubhub or Seamless -- they just park outside of locations that have lots of "walk in" customers (train/subway stations, office buildings, universities, etc). They typically take cash as payment, though some are starting to accept cards.
For 1., stop criminalizing addiction. Sale of heroin should remain illegal, use should be a medical issue, not one for the police. If people aren't worried about being arrested, then they won't have to hide in public restrooms to shoot up. Better yet, have safe injection locations like in some European countries.
Yep. I've never got food poisoning from a street vendor, but did get intractable, two-week-long, stomach-cramping trots'n'vomits from a supposedly high-end restaurant.
I find this hard to believe to be honest. Many restaurants in NYC (Manhattan) have "lunch specials" that are $10-11+tax (9%). With 20% tip, that's about $14.50. With 15% tip, just under $14.
And this is in a fairly wealthy part of the city, not on an outlying part of the island. Why would Austin be that much more expensive?
Depends on the tracker. There are some lower-end devices that work strictly locally -- they talk to an app on your phone (if that) but don't require creating an account for them to work. They even work WITHOUT a phone in some cases.
They're basically pedometer/watches.
Have a 2-way switch feeding the microphone. Either feed it ambient sound when you actually need it, or feed it a loop of a pr0n audio track. OH! ALEXA! HARDER! YESSSSSSS! SIRI! WOW! HARDER!
Personally. I think the criminals and terrorists are often better people than the average nice person, and especially than people in power. Put it this way, if I saw a drunk driver, a cop, and a politician's limo all collide at an intersection and end up on fire, I'd help the drunk first -- more likely to be a decent human being than the other two.
"Nice" people make the best followers, the best apologists for evil. The average Nazi was "nice" and popular at parties. You know who wasn't "nice" and who was shunned and hated? People like Stauffenberg and Sophie Scholl, who dared speak the truth.
Get over yourself -- better to be "that guy" at a family gathering than to remain silent in the face of evil.

It actually looked like an electric-blue mushroom cloud for a little while...

You're allowed to have "things", just don't bitch when they tie you down. Do you own them or do they own you?

A/C wasn't common until the 50s/60s, so people probably drank more water to cool off.

And it doesn't allow you to charge the phone and use the headphones, you fucking cretin.
What if they WANT to "face the trash, crime, and waste?" Not everyone is a OCD coward like yourself.
Greece, Italy, Costa Rica, and Portugal all beat out the US, and none of them are as antiseptic and germaphobic as the US.

Remove Windows, install real OS. Problem solved.
Disappointing that basic science and maths courses don't even make the top 30 or so...
I ignore the posted signage unless there's someone in authority to give me a hard time about it.
