I can speak to this with some authority. I have 8 children. In 2006 our TV broke and we never replaced it. It was quiet in the house.
Fast forward to our last child, a young boy as the most recent example. he hadn't seen movies or any TV before he was reaching for toys when we were out shopping.
He gravitated towards cars, planes, and soldiers immediately. Without any prompting media programming or other outside influences. His inclinations were very stereo-typical male. All my girls chose girly things, and hell one has been in the 'everything must be pink' phase for a very long time now.
All these European countries with pollution in their lakes, you might think they had a World-wide war with Bombs, and gas, and things detonated or masses of un-used ordinance buried everywhere.
"OMG There's POLLUTION EVERYWHERE"
Well, yea, wars do that. They destroy everything they touch for hundreds of years onward.
Most cars could be much more easily fixed back then and it paid to have a mechanic to replace a belt or make an adjustment or two.
Now days there's too much specialized computer shit that requires computers to fix. In my mind a car that can't be fixed on the side of the road is less reliable than one that requires a full bay and thousands to repair.
I think you are conflating stupid with uneducated. There are a lot more of stupid educated people, than there are smart educated people.
I think what you meant to say was "It's not fair to deny poor people an education and then call them stupid." From my perspective, more smart people come from poorer childhoods 'cause they had to figure out, how to figure things out.
Knowledge does not increase intelligence, knowledge amplifies intelligence.
If we don't go into civil war over our right to be able to stop it with the 2nd amendment that is.
Keeping government in control of the worlds most powerful military in check gets a lot harder when we are reduced to crossbows, swords and belittling comments.
I did say bordering on treason. With information being a tool of weapon it would seem they are trying to discredit everything our President is doing.
If Information weren't a weapon, then espionage wouldn't be an issue.
if there's ever going to be peace on Earth then we need to stop finding differences to hate each other for, and we certainly need to stop finding someone or some group to hold forward as a boogey-man to revile. It's not productive to the advancement of society.
I am sorry but your claim doesn't have much merit. The last decade has proven individual perceptions aren't reliable when they differ from the result of a real event.
Brexit voted in favor of leaving the EU, person x hates it, therefore they project that the country didn't want it. Brexit DID happen, Trump IS the president, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it was some miracle that happened despite the will of the people.
Please, please ( why am I repeating this so long after the fact )
Please, just mature and deal appropriately with reality.
I would normally mod this down as a troll but I am going to feed it instead:
What the Brexit and Trump votes proved is more people that don't buy the media's bullshit voted than those that do believe the bullshit.
And honestly, anyone that thinks they are better than anyone else for any reason are the problem here. Accusations aren't evidence, calling people xenophobic, racist, small minded etc doesn't make them so. It just makes them ( rightfully ) not like you, your cause, or your candidate.
It had nothing to do about gender, race etc. It had to do with the candidate was utterly reprehensible in her conduct and track record. As exemplified by the meltdown of her constituency afterward. Based on that fact alone we know we dodged a bullet. The media has been bordering on treason in it's 'reporting' of Trump and his activities.
Living in America and receiving a highly filtered / edited newsfeed on the brexit topic I am going to guess that this isn't the first time something like this has happened, and that Brexit didn't happen for no reason at all. it takes a lot to move an entire nation to agree in the polls against the push of popular media even.
So far this action tells me that Brexit may have been the best thing to happen to the UK for quite some time. Right now it's just the.eu TLD. ( that we know of ) With a clearly petulant EU leadership that's appointed and not elected I shudder to imagine where the line would be drawn between necessity and atrocity.
The problem is the liberal logic that thinks it's good enough to want something, rather than prove something, and then they ignore anything contrary to their desire.
The same is applied to the accusation is evidence crowd. When they make a claim they believe that has made the claim true, bereft of the need for evidence.
Is there any single discussion where the analytically challenged or terminally envious don't immediately start calling into question their opponents sexual prowess or capability?? I have tried debating the point with these ppl, they honestly believe it's scientifically proven:
OMG they have a nice ( Insert name of nice property they worked hard for ), "he has a small Penis", or "you know she's fucking for it".
I see what you're saying. You didn't mention anything about audio, but for me that's all those devices are really any good for. Actually using them is a completely separate matter.
There's absolutely zero Apple products or software allowed in my house or on my network so it's a moot point anyways.
Ultimately the end result is to record music to *listen* to it at some point.
Humans have ears, not hardware paths. We don't process digital signals, we need analog. In the end, there will be speaker coils causing air to move to create sound we can hear.
The hardware path is irrelevant. The end use is analog. Which is what really boggles the mind as why they would use USB C for audio if they don't also allow charging or other activities to bring value to the change at the same time.
If you're referring to software that intercepts audio for recording it's a trivial effort to cut the wires at the earpieces and patch to another device recording. Just make sure the grounding braid is disconnected at the jack to prevent the 60hz hum and you're golden.
We used to do this back in the 8 track and cassette days. Looks like I need to grab that reel to reel I saw in Good will the other day...
Height of the storm surge can be affected by factors not attributable to the storm, like high tide.
What was the absolute lowest atmospheric measurement in Millibars and how does it compare to other storms?
I will give that the combination of tide and other factors coincidental to the storms arrival may have made it the most destructive event, but not likely the 3rd worst storm.
I knew about the storm, its like every storm we have every year. It's no bigger a storm this decade than it was last decade.
New photos of the same old shit wind and waves just now they are in 4K, 60Hrtz or better, on a thousand channels that no longer shut down for the evening.
I was the same old deal this last week as it was when Indians lived here.

It's not programming, it's genetic. Get over it.

Right, will get on that straight away!

It's from buzzfeed so it's automatically of dubious origin.

tl;dr
UK dodged a bullet.
Hrm, been thinking it's time to start weaning myself of the free stuff online anyways.
This might the real catalyst I need.

Gotcha,
Perhaps it's time in the Earth's cycle that the great lakes region returns to giant glaciers.
Good luck over there.

I will give that the combination of tide and other factors coincidental to the storms arrival may have made it the most destructive event, but not likely the 3rd worst storm.
Is it rated by how much damage it's done to aging and hastily repaired infrastructure or by how much press coverage it's received?
Not AC,
I knew about the storm, its like every storm we have every year. It's no bigger a storm this decade than it was last decade.

I did 5 weeks there as a contractor and begged the recruiter out.
Not my culture. F* that place.
