"Are you a terrorist?" "Yes! Awe, you caught me!!!" "Get outta here, you joker." "Allahu ackbar!" "Yeah, yeah..."
Sounds nuts? Not as nutty as this fantasy land bullshit. There is a fucking reason we have borders. Because not everyone likes the same thing as everyone else. Isn't that what made it so appealing to all these celebs that said they'd pack up and move if Trump got elected in the first place? Wait, did any of them leave? Fuck no they didn't. Fantasy land bullshitters.
If you have FMLA, there is more protection. Some of these examples sound like sickly people or people with kids that inevitably get sick and need care. Neither are not necessarily FMLA cases. Anyone stop to consider some of those workers who frequently call in and are habitually tardy, the points are adding up, and when they call in it pushes them over the threshold? Shit my wife's employer dings more employees for "patterns of behavior" (subjective, because they feel like fucking with you) than objective occurrences.
Hey, it's probably a right to fire... oh, wait, haha, silly me: right to HIRE state. I get the two words confused, because whenever I hear about "right to hire" it has to do with canning some poor fuck.
And that's just it. Historically, Windows paid the bills and the PC was an incredibly open platform. Now Apple is gaining traction there but their business model has no idea how to cope with it becoming more of an open platform.
Why? Well, partly because it's there. A customer was getting rid of pro-level workstations and gave me one, so after it gathered dust I thought I'd take a stab at it. Took a lot of rebooting, trying this and that, starting over, and beer. Finally got it to work.
Second reason: I'm considering getting a MacBook for my next laptop. Call this getting my feet wet. I use Windows for 2 things: gaming and Office. I don't game on my laptop and I use linux about 95% of the time on it. I can use macOS for a lot of the same things I use Linux for.
The belief is diets high in fat contribute to coronary artery disease, not necessarily because fat floats in the blood stream and sticks to your arteries.
Evidence suggests there are actually a lot of mechanisms at work there. Hypertension causes arteries to harden, salt may exacerbate this. Genetics are an underrated contributor. A cardiologist had explained to me some people are just more genetically predisposed for atheroma than others as he was cathing the coronaries of a former fighter pilot, now airliner pilot, in excellent health who ultimately needed coronary artery bypass grafting. This pilot had excellent HDL and LDL levels, no history of high blood pressure, just chest pain. His father had a heart attack before the age of 55: premature coronary artery disease.
Biggest problem is the high mortality of post MI patients even with stents. We don't want to talk about it, but it is almost a dirty secret about stents and MI that kills a lot of people. Why would we? It would make having an MI sound like a death sentence despite medical advances. They can die for a myriad of reasons: heart failure or in-stent re-stenosis. Post-MI sudden death can be due to ventricular arrhythmia that has NOTHING to do with the stent, but because of surviving, yet sick, cells in an area of MI scar.
My point? It is still not fully understood. We have a lot of indicators in evidence that do a good job, but more work has to be done.
Who wouldn't want early retirement? It can be done, if you work for it, but it's still not guaranteed, and stereotype millennials don't want to work for it. With the growing gig economy appealing to millennials, I'm interested how many of them are even saving for retirement.
A title discrepancy here. While they do make more money giving incentives for using their branded credit card, literally buying miles is for suckers, which most frequent fliers know and they do not buy them.
Flakey, white, and mild tasting. Kind of like a hog fish (providing you've had one of those). I've been saying for a while, if you want to get rid of them, give seafood lovers a taste of them. Their flesh is not toxic, that's the spines. Since they won't bite a hook, catching them requires labor-intensive spear fishing, but this may help despite the initial investment.
Gotta be tolerant. Have to be. It is intolerable to not be tolerant. Unless people have different opinions and beliefs, in which case they must be intolerant, and then you must be intolerant of their intolerance. Just be careful you don't become intolerant of your own intolerance because that would be intolerable.
I'm considering Vive for a flight sim. Other than the motion sickness, how does it work? Does the forward facing camera help? I've heard about smudged text on the instrument panels and some people would recommend TrackIR over VR. Also considered it for Elite Dangerous, which is possible to play without looking at your keyboard but X-Plane not so much.
That's what I was expecting the end of the Matrix to be: the "real world" was just another facet of control. I really hung on to Morpheus saying the matrix was about control from the first film. I was sorely disappointed.

That'll make TSA's head spin when they think about what they want.

No, that can be fixed by putting leather helmets back in the game. Bet those defensive players won't be putting their heads down then!
Just want to throw in there: someone was buying the participation trophies for those millennials. The older generation is partly to blame.
Maybe this is why my own measurements of data usage differs from theirs. They always say I'm using more. However, they still charge me.
We were hitting the cap x3 months streaming. 4K really eats it up at like 10-15GB per hour.
They'll just keep tightening the data caps in their favor. Keeps me from watching 4K streaming which I can't even get on cable.
Don't be so hard on the slashdotters for being Freudian. They can't help it.
These dumb fucks don't know how the internet works and they want to regulate it????
Clearly these guys don't realize who their constituents are.

Everyday. Right now, even.

Let's see if all this 2-factor authentication is everything it's cracked up to be!
And I can just look at my watch when I set the meter, because I think for myself like that.

Just calculate 0Â kelvin to a temperature we can actually achieve. Nevermind the physics that comes with it. Bah, details!

I thought in quantum computing a tree could be a tree or not, or both a tree AND not a tree. So how can we be sure what it's telling us?
