It would be akin to me taking you to court for slander or libel, and when evidence is requested I bring in a comic strip with speech balloons that I drew at home to illustrate what happened.
Anything electronic can be falsified. Easily. Especially if the source that generates the.. whatever.. is private, and stands to gain from thigns.
If you get busted by a PI bringing in evidence from a home PC, you probably should've argued harder. I'd say get a new lawyer, and that may not be a bad idea, but not everyone may realize how easy it is to make outright false information.
Simple sites > flashy shiny sites... besides, since 1997, the proliferation of the internet and its wide-spread acceptance and the ease with which it can be accessed and used has caused the signal/noise ratio to take a dive straight into the shitter.
I've been on a huge metal kick, and just recently got done parsing out (in my own obsessive way) all my dark tranquility, at the gates, in flames, and kreator.
I am a bit confused as to how both lists managed to miss huge older bands like sepultura and sabbath, though O_o
metal is pretty back-door these days from what I can tell. aside from the junky poppy type stuff you catch on the radio on occasion.. is it just me or does that stuff sound like someone set it next to the emo in the fridge and it sucked it up like a box of baking soda?
And right there's the problem. Wearing headphones while you cross a street is not a problem. Wearing headphones while you cross a street ON WHICH THE MOTORISTS DO NOT OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS.. well that's not even a problem.
It's when you combine that with wearing headphones and paying no attention to your surroundings.. that's what'll get you.
If NYC wants to write more tickets, they should just write more tickets. Run a red light, intrude on a pedestrian crosswalk, get a ticket. Yeah, it'd cause a headache and a half. Maybe that would prod someone in the ass to actually correct the traffic problems in NYC.
Now, I know it's very tiring to carry a keyboard all the way back there, and exhausting to have to lean over to switch the plug for the new keyboard, but exercize is good for you.
I'm using a keyboard I got with my computer.. the one I had 3 boxes ago. Actually, it's so hard-used that the little nub on the J key is worn off.. and the one on the F key is getting there.
It's not just key positions people get used to, but the angle of the keyboard itself, and the feel of the keys. Feel of the keys is HUGE for me.
So basically, you're just saying that you're so cantankerous that you couldn't switch a keyboard to a user's preferred older keyboard, a change that would entail less than 5 minutes work on your part -- hell, you could just tell him to walk by and hand him the old keyboard in exchange for the new one, even idiots can switch them -- because.. why?
See, it's all about electrolytes in your body. If she normally drank things loaded with crap and junk and a lot of salt, she'd be able to slam down a lot of water.
My guess? She was a low / no sodium fanatic.
I did a bit of digging about this a while ago (because over the summer I was working in 100-degree-plus heat). If you have a lot of sodium and other electrolytes in your body, you will dehydrate faster, but you also can REhydrate faster without danger. Low electrolytes, you can survive with a lower total volume of water in your body, but you become very susceptable to water intoxication when you try to rehydrate.
Basically, if you're in the heat, if you're sweating a lot, if you'll wind up gorging on water at some point.. eat salty foods. Yes, the salt "dehydrates" you, but it makes it so that you are able to hold a greater quantity of water in your body safely. And since you sweat the salt out anyway.. it's really actually very critical, and healthy. Low sodium diets should be ONLY for those with serious hypertension, blood pressure type issues (which also means they limit their physical activity), and for those with such a low level of physical activity that it's probably unhealthy how much they don't move. Aside from that? Eat salt. If you eat more salt, just GET SOME EXERCISE, IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
Hi, I was responding to the parent. Not the article.
""Rest assured, California is not the only state with barely enough power-generation capacity..."...at maximum load, which occurs during the day during business hours. Which is not the dead of night and way off-peak when most of these cars would be charging. Several companines have discussed timers and/or remote control switches such that the power company could "schedule" your recharge such that your car isn't on the grid at the same time with everyone else's."
That part.
I realize it's got a gas engine. Why have the plug in the first place if I'm not going to be able to use it? And what about entirely electric cars, which seem to be some sort of wet dream around here (and which seems, for the reasons I stated, to be about as realistic a dream as Communism).
an aside, I love the "offtopic" moderation. Yes, because saying something about wall-charging electric cars and the drawbacks is offtopic when we're talking about wall-charging electric HYBRID cars (but of course comments such as "OMG WHY NOT TAKE OUT DAH ENJUN AND PUT IN MOER BATTARIEZ??!1 are on-topic and insightful).
You go tell them. I can't stand when people ignore good advice and endanger their own well-being and later expect you to help them AGAIN.
I don't feel the least bit bad nor the least bit inclined to help the guy who cheats on his wife with whores and winds up infected. I do feel bad for his wife. I don't feel the least bit bad for the promiscuous youth who ignore repeated warnings than a huge percentage of their population is infected and they should use protection. Hey, I AM that youth, my country's a HELL of a lot cleaner, and I STILL have to put up with those godawful rubber bags on my hang-low. No, nobody likes condoms, but they beat dying. You want unprotected sex, get married in a good monogomous relationship with someone and BOTH get tested first.
ps: being poor is no excuse. free condoms are all over the place, you just have to get off your ass and go get them. no, they're not great -- but they work. you want more sensation through them, or you want some wacky ribbed shit or.. who the hell knows what all they have these days, I don't.. you pay for em. but basic protection? that's free. go to the clinic. free.
Awesome, so you're saying that my own personal vehicle will start behaving more like public transportation?
Count me out. What I like about having a car is the fact that I can, at any time, with no warning, grab my keys and go somewhere. If I have to worry about having plugged my car in BUT IT NOT HAVING BEEN CHARGING DURING THAT TIME, well, that just.. sucks.
Also, having such a limited range means that for those that drive NEARLY the limit round-trip to work, there's no extra charge left if they, say, have to swing by the store on the way home, or leave early on account of children, or even drive out and go somewhere for lunch. That, coupled with the excessive amount of time it takes to charge?
3 hours to 'fuel up' for 40 miles, or I can pump 16 gallons of gas into my car in maybe 10 minutes and that'll take me 500 miles.
The way to stop the AIDS epidemic is to stop all those poor Africans from constantly fucking everything that moves without ever using a condom. Yeah. Medicine is fine but it's reactionary, and doesn't STOP the spread, it only helps those already CAUGHT by the spread. A more cautious culture about sex, that includes a lot of condoms, would STOP the spread. And then you'd have less people to treat.

Leave it to slashdot to be the one forum I use, out of about a half dozen, that doesn't use bbcode.. and me not remember.

I seem to remember days when one could design a wonderfully functional and snazzy-looking page from naught but caffeine and HTML..
oh for those days, when pages merely DISPLAYED things that I wished to VIEW.
Except you have to be a crafter, with a particular specialty, to make those epics. And by "PvP" gear you mean "Arena" gear, which..
well, I don't know exactly how the points will work out in the Arena, but rest assured Blizz will not make it easy to attain Arena gear. At all.
So what? Drive it anyway!
Who's gonna stop you... you're IN KITT. You CANNOT BE STOPPED.
Sometimes in the quest for pointless checks from the guv'mint, it is neccessary to miss points and simply make a loud noise and demand things.
Hmm, I live in an area that's free of disasters, and gets enough rain.
You both need to GTFO and STFU. Give me money for not deciding to live somewhere people shouldn't be living.
And with that money, I will invest in plywood sales in Florida.. yesss..
Well, there was the whiskey rebellion. and shay's rebellion.
neither were really that big, but.. just filling a lil gap there.
You deserve a cookie for that.
I've been on a huge metal kick, and just recently got done parsing out (in my own obsessive way) all my dark tranquility, at the gates, in flames, and kreator.
I am a bit confused as to how both lists managed to miss huge older bands like sepultura and sabbath, though O_o

I can't not comment on 150% of the house and the senate being needed to override a presidential veto.
Back in the days when I played DAOC, there were several instances where the Albs would crash emain.
It was their super-secret ultimate weapon to stop a relic capture.
I still think it was intentional, and I'd wager to this day they still would say that it was the hib's fault..
Stop all the downloadin'!
And right there's the problem. Wearing headphones while you cross a street is not a problem. Wearing headphones while you cross a street ON WHICH THE MOTORISTS DO NOT OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS.. well that's not even a problem.

Not really, actually.
Water intoxication is a strange thing.
See, it's all about electrolytes in your body. If she normally drank things loaded with crap and junk and a lot of salt, she'd be able to slam down a lot of water.
My guess? She was a low / no sodium fanatic.

Yeah.. no.
