At least this House vote gives us some clarity about what the GOP *really* think of Russia: "No problem".
I'm inclined to agree. Mr Putin isn't perfect, but he's a long way better than most world leaders and it can be argued he is defending his own country's interests effectively and isn't really a threat to the US. Pretty much what Putin himself has been saying.
We should remember to discount GOP fear mongering and bluster on the subject of Russia. They don't really mean it.
Some one needs to study philosophy or our civilisation will literally lose its mind. OK, most of us go through our days taking granted the values we hold and little understanding of the ideas (and their origin) that govern our world. Most of us are on ideological and philosophical autopilot.
Or civilisation would be much better off if we charged $25,000 a year to watch TV and university study was free.
Sorry, Dude. The US is now largely irrelevant in the Middle East. George W Bush nuked any remaining cred the US had. The harm Bush did will echo for decades. Obama is powerless as long as he (and the US generally) continue to give Israel a pile of cash and a free pass no matter what. Even Israel craps on the US...
GM and Chrysler aren't good examples. They deliberately crashed their companies so it could become politically acceptable to build their cars in China.
This was Ovid to me from 2003. They we're being told what they needed to do.... and ignored all the advice. There had to be a reason that. New factories in China was the reason.
And with that, discussion of the important issues in the original post was hijacked.
Unscrupulous employers blaming their workers is nothing new.
The real problem here is debt. If the people who work for these asses had cash in the back instead of debt milestones around their necks they could flick these guys the finger and tell them train the cheap foreign Labour themselves. Good luck with that.
Calling your people lazy when you're just a greedy prick is bad karma.
There are probably two sides to this story.... At least. We only have one of them.
Ordinarily, the university management failing to back up a lecturer would be appalling.... Unless the lecturer was appalling.
We can't know from the summary.
Water used to be free in all restaurants, even McDonalds.
Then Coca-Cola worked out you could charge for it as long as you refused to provide it for free.
Terrorists.
As a stop-gap measure (on the way to poisoning the entire planet anyway, eventually).....desalination would buy some time.
Religion and cigarettes are two obvious proofs as to why the human race has no future. Not a rational one, anyway. If we can't guard our sanity / mental health and our physical health directly from delusion and voluntarily consumed carcinogens........the air, earth and water doesn't stand a chance.
Take the salt out of the ocean water. It's right there at the beach. It will buy some time.
Agreed. The US would be a much better, saner country under a parliamentary model, with representatives elected via proportional representation. The US Constitution is proving to be a disaster..... though of course most Americans wouldn't understand why even if you explained it to them. They know next to nothing about alternative political models.... Or why NO ONE copies the US model.... At least, not in the last 50 years.
Yeah...because citizens having guns worked so well in Libya and Syria.
Why don't American pay attention to reality?
Guns would just result in fascist theocracy in the American South.
BS to this: "the cold waters of Earth's deep ocean have not warmed measurably since 2005", according to a new NASA study, leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have stopped in 1998. It started in 1978. But there really has been no warming this century."
The careful choice of words about "deep ocean" ignores the rest of the ocean.
It takes centuries for the deep ocean to be affected by what's going on up top.
Beware of lies told in this way.
Seriously?
Stop studying the Earth because what they are finding conflicts with what the GOP prefer to believe?
That's insane.
Who votes for these idiots?
It verges on evil.
It's only a scam if the intention was to defraud or deceive. I don't think that applies here. It's been an opportunity to put the idea out there and see who gets behind it and sorted it with cash. I'm fairly certain that if they were on target to raising the funds we would see concrete things happening. It was always outrageously ambitious. Good on them for trying.
But this is perhaps also an example of how private operations are relatively weak compared to governments.... Who do the heavy lifting everywhere.
Governments are edging toward a Mars mission. The US$3 trillion Bush flushed down the toilet in Iraq would have been more than enough.
Keep their options open. The tax thing won't be an issue unless they have income that qualifies. Most European countries have tax regimes (and much better service as a result) that leave little room for the US to claim any money.
Don't "tell" her anything unless it's just stories about you and your family and how you felt about things and about her. She your hopes and dreams. She'll want to know you better even though you're gone.
That's the sort of thing she'll look to for insights in the decades ahead of her... And each passing decade will allow her own experience to see, anew, meaning in your words.
I'm closer to 60 then 50. Most people my age would prefer paper books. No argument. I'm just not one of them. I prefer having 200+ books in my back pocket. My e-reader, ideally, let's me annotate what I'm reading.... So I have searchable relevant markers. I can look up words that need looking up. When reading on my phone on a plane I hold it with 3-4 fingers - lightly - whereas the person next to me with a big fat paper novel soon grows tired of wrangling the big, fat thing. Distraction? Don't be! Grow some self discipline.
If you want a practical demonstration of the effectiveness of hype / propaganda, go to New Zealand or Hong Kong or Paris a week before the Superbowl.
You won't hear a word about it. It's like it didn't even exist.
So the difference is: the noise we allow into our heads in North America about things like the Superbowl that amount to less than 'doesn't matter' almost everywhere else.
If you don't run any AV software how do you know you haven't been infected? The 'best' botnets don't degrade you're system performance much and don't get in your way because they don't want to subjectively detected by the user. They just did in the background quietly pumping out moderate traffic that doesn't alert or alarm the use of the infected machine. By not being greedy.... They don't get caught... And millions of PCs infected this way amount to a huge resource made up of small resource consumption each.
Point is.... How would you know if you haven't used AV software at all?

Troll. Besides.. Mud fish are people, too.

The Chinese are the best bet. Now technologically advanced and also determined to get it done. They also don't have a GOP to wreck everything.

The image isn't orthographic. It's a woman smiling while wearing a hat. I see that on the bus many mornings on the way to work.

Just one more example of a conservative government stealing from the many for the benefit of the few.

Also.... This guy's enlistment in the army was canceled. Why? Is he a bit crazy maybe? Entrapping the mentally ill wouldn't be too hard.....eh.

"Arrogance"? We know we don't know. That's why we're looking. Sheesh....
You nailed the description of middle managers. It verges on being a definition.....
