We have about 150 years of direct evidence that this happens, but some people are still sure that robots will take everyone's jobs, and must be stopped. It's ok I've got insurance for that.
Yet they never lost a satellite through an error made at that faciilty. The USSR has lost satellites through such errors. NASA has. COMSAT has. But not all those old guys in Sunnyvale. How'd they do all that while being on top of a Hellmouth? Didn't the frequent vampire attacks make their jobs difficult?
By the way, I live in downtown "Union/Democrat mismanagement-ville" (Chicago) and pay around $6,000 in property taxes on my $500,000 condo. Combined with a low state income tax, negligible commuting costs and a high salary, I have very little to complain about. So rampant gun violence doesn't bother you?
Also, I find it laughable that so many republicans are concerned about 'welfare' and 'entitlement' yet happily sign on for farm subsidy bills that cost trillions, to keep the votes from fat-ass, lazy, uneducated, corn-fed, bigoted midwesterners rollin' right in. You do realize that a good portion of those farm subsidy bills was nutrition aid for all those single mothers and urban poor, who aren't voting for the same bunch of politicians as those bigoted midwesterners(I'll leave out an approximation as to just how uneducated or uninformed one party's base is as compared to the other). The only party that matters, the grow govt. and its power over the people party "the appropriators" is the true enemy of a free people.
Then of course we have had severe storms like Sandy You know what followed Sandy? One of the mildest Atlantic Hurricane Seasons. OMG! climate change might cause fewer hurricanes in August. This post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy brought to by Ignorance and the letter P.
Oh no, I mean 20% *more*. And I'd tax coal and gas too. Actually I want to do a 1% tax increase per year up to 100%, but nobody takes me seriously when I say that. Unless you are a fucking plant, you 're just making food god damn expensive w/ your taxes, unless starvation is you goal at which point, that's why no one takes you seriously.
One feature of many of the societies facing that peril is domination by men. Women have no say, not even in how many children they wish to have Yeah, all those female dominated societies have done such a wondrous job of surviving to reach a point where overpopulation could become a concern. We should look to our Minoan cousins on how to run a society.
A: But doesn't that same problem exist with gasoline-fired cars if you run out of gas and there's no gas station around? Then a nice man with a nice truck brings a gas can, and(this is the important part) minutes later, one is off on their voyage. But what if we took the time to expand the infrastructure of electric charging stations? I mean, out in the desert, for instance, you could set up solar farms to help supply the stations with power, something you can't do with gas What if I rode around with RTGs instead of batteries? What if my car came with a huge sail I could deploy, that would be true solar power. But hey, you've solved a problem no one had, how to get power in the middle of the desert no one drives through for electric vehicles(slow clap).
After 3 years he will have done untold damage and the apathetic voters will probably vote him in again. We love economic growth and we don't want the party to end. Environmental stuff is just a party spoiler. I'm ashamed of so much that is going on here. Man, doesn't democracy suck? Esp. when the vast majority doesn't agree w/ your chicken little sky is falling alarmism?
No you've got this wrong. Its the men who are being outsourced. Women can reproduce via sperm donor and if a computer can offer better companionship and more patience then... well you can see where things are going. Yes, don't build a robot to: kill spiders, open jars, or take out the trash, and you'll be fine.
That was Monbiot, not Man Potential whoosh, here I believe the GPP was referring to the film Heat directed by Michael Mann(not the same guy), not the novel Heat, which you are correct was written by Monbiot.
he should consider modifying his personality to be more attractive to what the larger numbers of women feel they want in a man. I noticed you used "feel" instead of "say" if this guy were independently wealthy, I am sure he could have his pick of potential mates, but since he isn't, he's trying to increase his chances of success by casting a wide net. Seeing as how the typical courtship pattern involves the man making the first move, obtaining that first date is a successful strategy. his (later, but maybe not much later) divorce lawyer will also be suitably grateful. Given the success rates of marriage w/out data mining, I am not sure how he could do worse.
Don't know what this guy did, but it seems as though this woman is using a restraining order as a tool for revenge rather than to prevent violence. If this is true, for shame! Wow, such naivete. Yes, Virginia it has been a decades long established practice esp. in divorce cases to use restraining orders as leverage and revenge. The threshold for getting such order has been reduced so low, there is little disincentive to get one for spurious reasons.
I used to think the same, but unless one can sell their backyard grown product to their neighbor (legally), then it's all just a rouse. Think about tobacco. I can grow it legally, at about the same difficulty level as pot. But I can't sell it to my neighbor. I don't even think I'm allowed to give it away. This has nothing to do with human rights or constitutional freedoms: it's because there's a lot of money to be made in taxing packs of cigarettes. Welcome to Wickard v. Filburn only it was wheat and price controls not tax, but your 72 years late.
They don't trust their own people because large organizations, all large organizations, are run by control freaks. Would you include the govt. as one of those large organizations? Kinda worrisome when you realize govt. tends to have a monopoly on force.
I heartily agree, I have a Galaxy Nexus that became almost useless with my car's handsfree when Google swapped the Bluez bluetooth stack for Broadcom's in 4.2, 4.3 didn't fix the problems and there's still a thread in code.google for the other Nexus phones using KitKat. CM10.1 and 10.2 work perfectly with my car making my phone useful again. I would also pay 30-50 bucks for that(not to mention there's an effort to port 4.4 to the GNex something Google refuses to do[Thanks, Texas Instruments]).
No. You wheels would've stopped turning sooner, but your car wouldn't have stopped. If you'd stood on the brake pedal with no ABS, you would've skidded further than it took you to stop with ABS. That's why ABS is there. The simple fact is, you were driving too fast for the conditions, and, on that slick snowy road, no braking system on earth could've gotten you to stop in less than 100 yards. You can't cheat physics. So much is wrong in this. First, if the wheels had locked up the car would have become a snow plow and that creates a pile of snow in front of the wheels. Second, had he deployed a drag shoot he could have slowed the car down quicker as well. Additionally, depending on the vintage of the car and the quality of the traction control/ABS, a slick snowy road can make those systems lose their minds. Since it is an edge case, modern systems will have the driver of the vehicle adjust the ABS controls b/c the standard ABS response is the worst way to maintain control.
Yet our actual life expectancy is just 33rd. To put that meme into perspective that's 79(multi way tie) vs 83(#1) if we got 1 more year we'd jump to 27th and 2 more years gets us to 17th. So b/c I'll miss one Olympiad, I'm not going to give up my freedom to the coercive paternalists who just can't wait to tell me how to live.
the 7,000 millionaires who paid no federal income taxes in 2011. Could that be b/c they are idle rich sitting on trust funds that instead pay capital gains tax in lieu of the income tax? Perhaps they are people like Steve Jobs who pay themselves one dollar salaries such that they don't earn enough income to pay federal income taxes?
After all, between the US and China, the US is the one with a long history of invading sovereign states for no pressing reason except profit. The people of Tibet and Vietnam would be to differ.
I don't want to change the size of government. I want the people to take back control of government. Translation, I don't want to end tyranny, I want to change tyrants.
You mean the whole bit where the United States decided to embargo Japan instead of leaving them the fuck alone which prompted Japan to contemplate an attack on Pearl Harbor? Wow, somebody really wasn't paying attention in History class when covering 1933-1941. Newsflash, the US didn't embargo Japan just to be dicks, they did it b/c the Empire of Japan had spent the previous years fucking up Manchuria.
France has free abortion on demand. Up to 12 weeks, yes afterwards not so much, but hey just get your abortion facts from NARAL and you'll believe that only the US has any restrictions on abortions in the Western World.
