there could quite possibly be another Holocaust towards the Muslims
If that happens, one can be assured Israel will say or do nothing, just as they did with Srebrenica or the near-concentration camps in Bosnia which the Serbs created.
It's only the Jews which have had bad things happen to them and they will keep reminding people regardless if the same is done to others or if they do the same things to others.
So a more accurate reading of the 2nd Amendment . . .
Which, of course, is exactly what was done. You, the citizen, had to bring your own weapon, your own powder, and on a specific date, perform drills.
The catch was, and the NRA will deny this with its last breath, the citizens who owned firearms had to be registered with their local government entity. That's how it was known who to call up in times of war or insurrection (the two main reasons for the militia).
Obviously this will never fly today because, you know, big government, but every time people bring up the 2nd Amendment and their Constitutional right to own a firearm, it's always nice to remind them of everything that was originally involved. Then suddenly their argument changes because we can't do what the Founding Fathers did.
Let's try this. Take the can in which the die will be placed and screw two holes into it, one inch from the top and bottom along the vertical plane.
Drill two holes of equal distance into a large wooden disc and affix the can to the wheel via screws. Place die in can and securely cover open end of can with clear plastic.
Attach a reciprocating arm to the wheel such as those used in steam locomotives to turn the wheels.
As the wooden wheel turns the can turns upside down, rolling the die. On the way up the number of the die is set. When the can reaches the top the rotation of the wheel coincides with the 4 second delay of the camera.
Instead of a tech-related roller, affix the can to a non-radial disc (i.e. a disc which has a small flat spot)
When the attached arm rotates the disc and reaches the flat spot, it will remain upright long enough for the camera to take a picture. The arm then pushes the disc over to tumble the die then brings it back up for the next picture.
Think of the arms of a steam locomotive and how they are used to rotate the wheels of a train.
Ahh, sorry. I thought you might have been but considering the number of people on here who toss out the ridiculous, "It's free!" when obviously someone has to pay for it, I wasn't sure.
As you can see, those same people who claim everything is free don't like when it's pointed out forcing people to pay money does make something free.
I would hardly consider paying over $3K per year to see a doctor once every other year to be free.
Because the sole reason for corporations to exist is to maximize profits for the owners.
False. Corporations exist to provide a product or service. Profits are a byproduct which allows the business to continue to provide the product or service.
It doesn't matter whether they want to do it or not, it's their job to make the software ready for customers.
If customers want a better UI and, oh the horror, a more intuitive interface, then guess what. You're a developer. That's what you're going to develop.
Would be nice if these developers who talking about paying high salaries for good developers would show some evidence for this need because all I keep seeing on here are people who whine about having to do their job.
So what if say due to a software error a small kid gets miss identified as safe to run over and car does that and keeps on going that is hit and run a felony + felony manslaughter.
No, it's called Natural Selection. The kid shouldn't have been in the road in the first place.
or you don't buy it and you're a freeloader off other people's taxes.
As usual you are assuming someone can't pay their own bills. Instead of thinking positive, that the person has taken responsibility for themselves and planned ahead by having money put aside, you're assuming all people are complete idiots and thus necessary to make everyone suffer by forcing them to hand over their money to a private company.
Just goes to show how ridiculous your argument is when one considers how many people are now freeloading off other people's taxes through subsidies. Instead of a small percentage having to be propped up by the taxpayers we now have millions being propped up by the taxpayers.
Either get a really cheap tripod when you do these types of interviews or a monopod. Having the image wander back and forth for five minutes is not good.
So Uber is admitting it's a taxi service but doesn't believe it has to abide by rules for taxi companies, nor do its drivers who don't have a business license or insurance to protect their passengers.
Good to know people can make up whatever shit they want. I think I'll open a theme park, with blackjack and hookers, and call it recreation sharing. I'll make a ton of money since I won't have to worry about paying taxes or dealing with any ridiculous licensing or permits.
You can't argue that the Israel is allowed to conquer another people's land while simultaneously claiming the other people aren't allowed to fight back.
Sure they can. It's done all the time. It's called hypocrisy.
Israel will trot out how horribly the Jews have suffered over time (which obviously they have). Then, once they are the majority, they turn around and do the exact same thing which was done to them claiming some kind of moral high ground or religious justification.
Then, when you call them out for throwing people off their land and stealing the land for Jewish settlers, when they sit back and let Jews destroy Palestinian property, when mother and child are burned alive by Jews, when Israel refuses to grant building permits to Palestinians living in Israel, when Israel controls another country's borders and decides when and if to give them collected taxes, the first words out of their mouths are, "Anti-semite!"
When the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto fought back against the Nazi repression, they're heroes. When the Palestinians fight back against Israeli repression and occupation, they're terrorists.
The new improved code uses fancy stuff that wants magical built-in compiler support
Imagine that. Someone thinking, "Ohhh, shiny! Let's try this because it's new and cool."
Instead of, "I need something to get the job done in the simplest fashion."
There's a reason analog light switches are still around. They just work. No bullshit about having to talk to a computer to decide what to do. Clean and simple. Just like code should be.
Most likely these were the same people who claim trickle down economics works. Kansas is the most recent victim to fall prey to this canard but I'm sure someone, somewhere, will dredge up this nightmare in the near future, completely ignoring the previous decades of failure.
This raise in pay seems to have worked but, as you pointed out, we have to wait for the long term to be sure.
Because look at all the tax money spent over the decades on initiatives to facilitate a better lifestyle by pointing out the dangers of drug use.
Everyone knows they're smarter than the experts and keep snorting, injecting, smoking and swallowing everything they can get their hands on.
Since that didn't work, the government implemented a tax to force people to hand over their money to private companies so all of the above people can keep doing what they're doing, secure in the knowledge they never have to change anything they do because someone else will pick up the tab.
Even now communities are spending scarce taxpayer money to make sure people don't have to suffer the effects of heroin usage because having the person not doing the drug in the first place would make too much sense. It's simply easier to take from everyone else than it is make the person take responsibility for their actions.
It's amazing how the anti-government, anti-big brother crowd on here jumps at the chance to interject big government into people's lives, especially through taking their money.
What axe? I'm stating a fact. Bush had six months of daily warnings of an impending attack, INCLUDING Clarke's own statement a few days after Bush was sworn into office, and a briefing statement titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the United States".
Further, contrary to the lies of those in the Bush administration, the outgoing Clinton administration did leave them a comprehensive plan. We know this because it's been declassified.
If you like, I can keep going with the facts which show a) Bush had been warned, many times, prior to the 9/11 attacks, both from the outgoing Clinton administration, Richard Clarke who spanned both administrations and daily briefings, b) Bush was warned one month before the attacks that Al Qaeda was planning to hijack planes to attack the U.S. and c) Bush ignored everything until the last second when, on 9/4, he finally had a meeting to discuss what Clarke and others had talked about months prior.
Considering the percentage of people who still voted for Bush after he ignored six months of daily warnings of an impending attack and allowed the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history to take place, then compounded his incompetence by letting Bin Laden because he refused every request by troops on the ground for more troops to block Bin Laden's escape at Tora Bora, or the fact he then set out on an unprecedented lying campaign to justify invading and occupying Iraq which had nothing to do with the attacks, I will agree with you... You need no further proof that you can't fix stupid, and it isn't limited to Alabama.

How much do you think Cox has been paying their insurer? How long has Cox been paying their insurer?
Now when they need it, the insurer gives them the big middle finger.
Just goes to show what a scam insurance is. You pay, and pay, and pay, and pay, all for nothing.
Cox would have been better off keeping the money they paid for insurance. At lest then they would have gotten some use from it.
Ahh, sorry. I thought you might have been but considering the number of people on here who toss out the ridiculous, "It's free!" when obviously someone has to pay for it, I wasn't sure.

I would hardly consider paying over $3K per year to see a doctor once every other year to be free.
No, but we did get free healthcare!
How is it free if I'm forced to hand over my money to a private company? That's part of the definition of fascism.
Because the sole reason for corporations to exist is to maximize profits for the owners.
