However the US has outsourced at least in part its deforestation to countries like Canada (where my wood pellets come from) and Brazil (where mcmeat comes from).
Well there are rules unions and other legal precedents. Police officers are not "at will" employees.
However by any reasonable standard an officer who commits extreme misconduct (falsifying evidence to hide their own culpability) that officer should be fired and charged with a crime. Unfortunately an unreasonable standard has become the de-facto standard at least in many big cities (I have no idea how widespread this is)
yeah good luck with that strategy. This lady was "lucky" that: 1) she wasn't killed or fatally injured (she may have lasting permanent damage though) 2) the police were not successful in destroying her evidence. They appeared practiced. Who is to say they won't do a better job next time. 3) The police fabricated (and witnessed by other police stories) was an obvious fabrication thanks to her evidence. They accused her of trying to run over the police and had other police officers to back them up. They would have been "justified" in killing her to "defend themselves". It sickening the amount of power that corrupt police officers can have.
I have met plenty of good (or so I believed) officers, but now I am terrified of them.
I really want to beat the game as a wizard. I'm kind of angry because I had a bag of holding with EVERYTHING, spellbooks scrolls of earth and MagicBane!, but somehow my bag disappeared and I can't even get through the tower because I'm a boulder short and no scroll of earth. Digging with my pickaxe didn't work either
As far as modern games I've only played nethack and slashem (I've played rogue and moria) Crossfire too, but crossfire is so different.
I can honestly say that after over 10 years of nethacking I am not very close to winning. I love getting a ring of teleportation and eating a bunch of leprechauns and tengus to become "jumpy" though.
Wow so much unsolicited relationship advice. There certainly are some good answers about larger fans and quieter cases, but the problem of "long USB cables and long HDMI cables" causing propagation delay and lag is interesting. I have never heard of this issue before. How long are we talking? Are the cables shielded? Do you have repeaters in the picture?
Yeah in a 3 week study with 16 people on carefully controlled diets. The doesn't invalidate significant findings of studies like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...
First we should look at the past: In the past Harvard was in fact able to influence Exxons policy, by.... guess what? divestment http://www.thecrimson.com/arti...
As to whether or not stock price affects the company. It does, the company does not sell 100% of its stock. It is used as capital (can be sold) and even awarded employees with sign-on bonuses as well.
As for what the goals of the divestment campaign are, they do not appear to be stopping oil or driving oil companies out of business. This seems to be a strawman that you have created. In the first link I posted, the goals of divestment campaign in Stanford are as follows (ftfl): "Thus our demands of the fossil fuel companies are simple. In order to show that they are committed to a livable future, they must Stop seeking new fossil reserves Stop promoting climate change denial and lobbying against climate policy Commit to keeping 80% of theirproven reserves in the ground
As long as fossil fuel companies continue with business as usual, they must be though of as an unethical industry, recklessly pushing us toward global catastrophe." (Case for Fossil Fuel Divestment at Stanford University)
With an ever-growing population and an increasing crunch for resources, climate change is possibly the most significant threat that humanity will face. If these students want to take an approach that is legal, nonviolent and proven successful in the past to try to influence major corporations in a better direction, I say more power to them.
At a very minimum, creating a market for the stock creates a very real demand for ownership in said stock. Divesting decreases the value of existing stocks (including those owned by the company), and buying increases the value. To argue this point is foolish.
If you want to make the point that divestment is a useless gesture, you should first acquaint yourself with the reasoning behind this nonviolent strategy for achieving political and social change: http://www.fossilfreestanford.... http://gofossilfree.org/commit...
Divestment is a legitimate technique of opposing that which is morally objectionable. Divestment campaigns were led against South Africa's highly-profitable aparthied businesses. Did it hurt the value of South African diamond mines? Possibly not in isolation, but as part of a series of similar campaigns aparthied has ended.
Fossil fuel industries do need to exist, but investing in big energy companies today is like investing in the mob. More drilling in high-risk areas, deregulation, and lower fuel taxes are at least in these students' perspectives, the wrong way for the planet to go, so a top educational institution on the planet which campaigns to strongly be in favor of being 100% sustainable (http://green.harvard.edu/), should not be investing in unsustainable practices.
As far as cost is concerned, it's available for $200 with no contract (carrier-locked to AT&T). Once a procedure is known for unlocking, rooting and using with Tmobile, I'll be their next customer.
The problem is most people who are gay can hide it for the sake of silly social stigma.
If having visibly blue eyes was a social and cultural stigma that caused parents to disown their children and it was common to cover them with brown contact lenses, then your comparison would be appropriate and I would commend you for throwing out BS social rules and living your life as an out blue eyed person.
So I say good for Tim Cook, maybe he will make it easier for others.
Interesting. Your reference does seem to claim only 7%. However it does claim that animal agriculture is the most significant fraction of the 7%:
Although the scientific literature points to reduced meat consumption as an effective mitigation strategy in regards to climate change?[25, 30, 31, 38, 39], to date, agricultural production has been largely ignored in climate policy [40, 41]. A study by Wiresenius, Hedenus, and Mohlin concludes that implementing an emissions tax of ?60 per tonne CO2e ($77 per tonne CO2e in 2012 USD) on animal food products would reduce agricultural CO2e emissions in the EU by 32 million metric tons annually, which represents approximately 7% of the EU?s total, annual agricultural GHG emissions?[40]. An emissions price on the downstream consumption of GHG-intensive agricultural goods (i.e. a GHG emission tax or emissions trading scheme) is one means of implementing a CO2e construct using price signals and market forces to implement diet shifts as a climate mitigation strategy.
The UN study (which supports my claim) factors in things like methane emissions not only from cattle grazing but from anaerobic decomposition of livestock "waste pools", livestock processing and refrigerated transport. Also slash and burn of rainforests (60% of which is claimed to be for cattle). The full study is here: http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/...
Looks obnoxious doesn't it? That's because you fucking people who are like that are fucking obnoxious. No one takes fucking responsibility for their shit in anything, this included.
well since consensus is now that animal agriculture is responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11... One easy thing we can do is stop eating cows, then stop eating all animal products.
Also even though I bicycle to work, I need to convince my boss to let me work from home "to stop climate change";-)
I think specifically they want to have a discussion, but one of the ideas proposed was to exploit the centralized nature of DNS to require people to get licenses before they could have a "website" (presumably each website would have it's own domain name so foo.com/~user1 and foo.com/~user2 would all fall under foo.com's license or something)

yeah i didn't put magicbane in the bag of holding. I still have magicbane, but no bag of holding (full of goodies) and i'm forgetting all my spells :(
A nymph must have took it when i wasn't paying attention doh!

Ooops sorry wrong link. This one talks about risk plateau: http://nutritionfacts.org/vide...
It seems awfully unscientific to come to any kind of conclusion based on a study of 16 people over a 3 week period with engineered diets.
There is a saturated fat plateau. When you consume enough saturate fats, you cannot absorb them, but that doesn't mean it's a healthy amount to eat.
Add this to the list of misleading studies: http://nutritionfacts.org/vide...

The problem is most people who are gay can hide it for the sake of silly social stigma.
