Scanning is fast and easy, if you are willing to destroy the book binding so it will autofeed. There exist robotic page turners, but just cutting the book apart and tossing it into the hopper is much more common.
I've been friends with people studying library science.
If you want to really upset them, mis-shelve a book. But they are the kind of people that work at real libraries, used by real researchers, not your average public library.
Public library employees are more likely politically motivated. They want to keep indoctrinating texts on the shelves. Since this Utah, they are likely right wing, but the same thing happens in NYC.
No. Facebook keeps all of 'them' in one place where they can be ignored as a group.
Can you imagine how much worse the rest of the net would be if all those morons were jumping up and down going 'look at me, look at me' everywhere but facebook?
It was the explanation I received for why their email was so fucking broken. Consistently taking the better part of the day to get a message to the recipient.
Pragmatists have moved the line of what can be owned, but heavy industry is pretty much right out in socialism. Farm land is a question. Private tools of craftsmen? In any case you are just carving down a command economy of 50, 60, 70% of economic activity, still broken. Far too much power, fucked guaranteed.
Suggest a better pragmatic definition?
'Nut job' uptread suggests that at least the commonly owned means of production would be directed through 'democratic socialism'. He may not know history, but at least he knows his own philosophy, just in denial. Better than you.
Duh, but the point is that the system will degrade fairly gracefully. It will run less efficiently, but even if regions island, the lights will stay on most places.
Basically, variable weather makes the system be overbuilt for 99% of days. On the remaining 1%, cascade failure is distinctly possible, margins are too tight. The theory (spinning reserve) is that every region should always have margin equal to their biggest single power source, nice theory.
Emergency facilities/Hospitals provide backup power, duh. Allowing them to turn on their backup generators (damn the EPA) would pull the system back from the edge on the hottest/coldest days. But utilities would just further underbuild, depending on that capacity. You'd be back in the same place, only worse, in ten years. Tons of solar (or other predictable but crap capacity factor power) could change that calculus. 0.01% backup power can be dirtier than 1% backup power. (Just change the laws a little, allow emergency facilities to go on generator when utilities call for load curtailment.)
When investors say 'cash' they often mean 'cash equivalents'. High liquidity, not entirely no risk, some will be hedging, looking for zero risk, there is no such thing.
If shit really hits the fan, paper money isn't great, sometimes it does OK, other times, not so much. But if you think _that_ negatively, you'd have to start with steel, brass, led etc.
What you really want is an established line of credit/prequalified and locked mortgage (unless you can raise enough cash to buy real estate outright). Even there, lines of credit can be pulled. Timing the mortgage lock is always the key. I'd say 'at the first sign of trouble in China' * is already too late. A lock costs money and can be worth a lot. If the lender is on the hook they can get really assholeish to try and prevent the close, to be fair, anything that moves rates by a lot will also change appraisals. In your scenario you will be hugely pressed for time, get the long lock, it will cost more. On 'the upside', in times like that Mortgage bankers know they are walking dead, they will get desperate for business.
Don't use a loan broker, go direct to a loan originating bank. Brokers cost points for nothing but bad metaphorical 'blow jobs'. Unless you need someone to tell you how smart you are and fill out forms for you, just don't. Like an extra, optional, layer of car salesmen in the deal.
If you have time, pass the real estate peddlers test, it's so easy, house peddlers can pass it. Can save you 3.5%.
Mortgage bankers _hate_ 'cash from the mattress'. Get a 'bank' account, some place that won't rob you, so you can show balances growing faster than the difference between old rent and new payment + taxes + insurance. They _love_ that, the female bankers puddle when they see those #s (watch them squirm in their seats). If you are serious, prequalify at a few places, so you can pull the trigger on a lock. Find a place (regional, privately held banks that are playing in mortgage origination are a decent choice, make sure they aren't just brokers) that will let you buy a lock without a firm offer, you are basically buying an interest hedge**. Sharks everywhere, locks get _expensive_ if everybody sees the impending trainwreck. That's why you want a few pre qualifications, so you have a decent chance of finding a 'fat, dumb and happy' one sleeping.
* China has the biggest bubble I can see, but also the most government and institutional support for status quo + growth. Who the fuck knows?
** If you can qualify, you can just buy the hedge, but your chances of catching a days lag in pricing there are zero.
Worked in the industry for a decade. Wrote simulation shells that did short term forecasts based on on system conditions, did data reductions etc (e.g. This unit IS going down for unscheduled maintenance, how much will it cost to shut it down RTF now vs after afternoon peak?) Went on to 'tech lead' for significant energy trading/risk management platform. Ran on many traders and grid operators desks...don't ask, won't tell. Did once see a bug because grand total on printable VAR only had room for 10 digits plus sign. Assigned to Brahmin coder, week later I fixed it myself, I digress.
What you say isn't really possible. What they typically do have is a secure network, which runs operations, staffed with lots of ex-military actual Engineering school grads. That network is being monitored by redundant data integrators which present integrated (by some time interval, usually hours/half hours or minutes, back when I was up to my nose in it) system data to a second less secure (but still as secure as any corporate) network where routine operations run. That server is usually locked down tight, read only from the less secure network; but that is only software. They also like to run diverse OSs, lots of 'big iron' and Unixes and home brewed binary data formats. These things were mostly architected before Windows was common, particularly on the secure side it's still loaded with 'legacy', likely to remain so until they have a complete staff turnover. Old Dilbert with neckbeard flipping a nickle at Wally and telling him to get a better computer, that's the dude.
Routine operations need access to internet based facilities. To schedule transmission line capacity, trade power, get closing prices from grid operators, weather forecasts and unit availability from neighbors (lots of VPNs). But that part of the operations could more or less crash and burn and it will only cost money (and extra CO2). Operations, more or less, ignores trading at the minute by minute level. Trading gives them trade schedules and operations will try their best. But if 'shit happens' they keep the lights on and let the accountants worry about reconciling to 'what should have happened'. Which is sometimes a bitch of a computational problem, fortunately most everybody involved are engineers and close enough is close enough. Pennies aren't statistically significant; try and explain that to an accountant. Don't recommend it, just say 'not a material difference' and get on with your life, I'm digressing again.
Internal propaganda for the Democrats. Trying to prevent cynicism from setting in, but only working for the very dumbest most indoctrinated of them.
Seriously this was one laptop with some malware, found by a routine virus scan. It's the Washington Post, no credibility left except with the poor snowflakes that need to be constantly fed a reassuring yet terrifying narrative.
The worst thing about these kinds of efforts, it leaves the Democrats with their army of chanting morons, but those with two working brain cells still fall away. It will serve as its own punishment.
Ours, sowing chaos so the sunnis/shia kick the fight out of each other is _clearly_ the least evil path. They deserve each other, being two sides of the same religion. Just as the Catholics deserved the Protestants, and vice versa, in their days of open war.
Define socialism. I see capitalist welfare states. Private ownership of means of production. Though in some cases the state owns too much, but not all.
No corporation has as much power as those running a socialist economy, not even the worst historic monopolies were even close.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like you agree with them.
That is a different server. Those who had the copies of the missing emails from Clinton's server, were saving them for blackmail.

Being a direct response is not relevant? Fuckoff AC. Libraries know which reference books they are constantly reshelving.
Most libraries don't want you to reshelve books. Too much chance of getting it wrong.
They know which books are looked at, they could easily scan a barcode when reshelving references.
Because they are pushing a agenda.
Someone will be along to checkout 'It takes a village' any year now. They just know it.

There is plenty to criticize Germany for. But calling it 'poor and dirty' just shows you have never been there.
I suggest 'rules crazy' and 'obsessed with the opinions of others, like lifelong middle schoolers' to describe the Germans.
No. Facebook keeps all of 'them' in one place where they can be ignored as a group.

That was the good Comey; the one who lied about the law to give Hillary a pass.
Not the evil Comey; the one who gave the election to Trump by actually looking at new data just before the election.
It was the explanation I received for why their email was so fucking broken. Consistently taking the better part of the day to get a message to the recipient.
Read that back, with a mental flip of who is on what side?
Do you see how wrong you are? It's not often that someone basically writes: 'white is black, when my side does it'. You just did.
No true scottsman.
It was only Marx and Engels that said it.

Try 'Next Car Game: Wreckfest'. Just demolition derby, no guns.

I little ironic, posting a cybersecurity article on a wordpress site. Tempted to go edit that, to say something else.
You're the ones trying to distract from the facts by inventing a source and attacking it.
Denial is normal, but it's not healthy to stay there too long.
Get on with anger, get it out of your system, impotent anger isn't good for you either.
Compromise...good luck.
You will all get to acceptance eventually. Don't make any important life decisions in the meantime.

Fair enough, I assumed you were against boring cars.
The valley to the west of the Sierra Nevada is called the 'Central valley'. 'SI valley' is not in the central valley.
You still fail. Wrong mountains.
