Ditto. I could care less about fashion, but shaved heads are so commonplace nowadays that plenty of guys with full heads of hair shave. It may have started with Yul Brynner, but it really took off with Michael Jordan, Patrick Stewart, and the 1992 U.S. Volleyball Team:-) https://www.nytimes.com/1992/0...
I'm 40, and I've been shaving my head for almost 20 years now. I've been bald for so long that I wouldn't want my hair back even if there is a cure.
Of course you have to have an idea, investigate it, write about it, and finally promote your work so you can get paid. In what alternative way do you suggest journalists operate?
Agreed, I have never heard of Axios until I just now clicked the link to check out this story.
Judging by some of the other articles on their website, I can't tell if they're biased, sneaky, or just plain sloppy.
For example, they are running an article on "How Congress reacted to the strikes on Syria", with the reactions being "for" or "against". They labeled the following from Lindsey Graham as "against":
Sen. Lindsey Graham said in a statement: "President Trump deserves credit for working with our allies and ordering this strike against Assad...But I fear that when the dust settled this strike will be seen as a weak military response...It's not the type of sustained, game-changing strategy that will lead to Assad, Russia, or Iran changing or reevaluating their strategy in Syria."
I'd hardly label this call for more of a "sustained, game-changing" strategy as being "against" the airstrikes.
which belongs to a non-nuclear state that other nuclear states have sworn to defend
Are you talking about the Budapest Memorandum? No where in there does it say that any of the signatories are sworn to defend the Ukraine:
1. Respect Belarusian, Kazakh and Ukrainian independence and sovereignty and the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
4. Seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, "if Belarus/Kazakhstan/Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding these commitments.
These things can't die soon enough, but with it being the only way certain types of document communications are allowed (certain medical and legal records), we'll be stuck with them for quite awhile longer.
how much they spend on toys for children per capita
The U.S. would easily be #1. Why save money on healthcare or education when little Susie absolutely must have the new Tickle Me Elmo or the Cabbage Patch Doll? We can't have her be the kid that's not cool can we?!?!
Mine was during the 2nd weekend of the Wii release. There was a line waiting for Target to open, with about 75 people standing out front (I got there about 5 minutes before opening). An employee opened the doors to announce that they didn't have any. I knew GameStop wouldn't have them, and I wasn't about to go to Wal-Mart or the other Target. It suddenly dawned on me that Toys 'R Us was right down the street. I hoped in the car and swung by there, about 2 minutes before opening. There were only 2 folks waiting out front. They had over 20 Wii's in stock.
I was dumbfounded that so few people thought to go by Toys 'R Us. It was such a different experience that I decided to always go there first when shopping for games.
Thanks to Obamacare, in civilized states, everyone pays the same price for insurance regardless of pre-existing status.
Are you suggesting that 62% of the States aren't civilized? That's how many had premiums double since 2013. Most of the rest that didn't double still saw an increase.
Hepatitis is another one. It can be caused by an infection, severe alcoholism, genetic disorders, etc. It's really a few different diseases that cause the same symptoms.
I think the reclassification for diabetes makes sense, but I'm going to hate to have to explain to people that I'm now Cluster 1. The general populace already had a hard enough time understanding it, and this will just confuse them more.
It's even more of a shame to see the folks here on this site confuse the matter.
Depends on how far back you want to go for something to be "new".
I consider virtualization to be a complete game changer. I know it's existed since the '60's, but only if you forked out huge sums to IBM. We now have virtualization for the masses.
Thanks for putting some sanity in this thread. I don't know if the folks on here who think we're going to be out of work in 10 years are living in a sci-fi fantasy world or just trolling./S It's a good thing that we invented the cotton gin, so that we didn't have to rely on slavery anymore.....(oh wait, that actually made things worse)...

Which parenthesized part? The one at the end of 15 USC 2302 (c) ?
It's like the broken window theory of law enforcement
This may be a bad example. After the New York police went on "strike" a few years ago, crime actually dropped:

and the FBI confiscate all their computer hardware
Aren't they in the UK? I think this is outside the FBI's jurisdiction, unless you meant to say Scotland Yard.
The UK also hasn't been to keen on extradition lately.

Indeed. It's rumored that Microsoft skipped Windows 9 because of potential compatibility issues.

The Judge has some pretty unconstitutional (liberal) logic applied here.
Considering that it's a UK court, I'd say it being unconstitutional is spot on, being that it's not covered by the U.S. Constitution.
This is 9th circuit crap.
I don't think this is in the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction.

won the space race
Why is this in the list? If the "winner" isn't the U.S., who is?
Why in the world was this modded +4 Informative?
Sweden could easily take of this by promising not to extradite him to the US
But those charges were dropped...from what I can tell he's no longer under investigation by the Swedish.

Assange is still hiding out because he fears extradition to the U.S. This may prove that was never the case.
They think their peashooters are going to protect them from a "rogue Federal government".
Funny these guys didn't get that memo.

So if something crashes at 16:00 (when people are still at the office), but isn't fixed by 19:00, it stays broken until the morning?
I guess that may be why 67.1% have "asked" to be exempt.

Yes, we need to reform healthcare funding, but the ACA definitely wasn't the solution.
Europeans don't want Americans to exist....until they threaten to withdraw from NATO or enact trade tariffs.

If you look at the supporters of minimum basic income, lots of the really prominent ones are... tech billionaires
And they support this not because they feel people will riot, but because they can't pay them less if they have UBI.
and they're also smart enough to realize that Marie Antoinette didn't have such a good retirement.
Which is also why they happen to support very strict gun control policies.
Digg FTW ;-)
