Anything that only causes untold grief and misery, and has no benefit other than its own miserable existence, I have no compunction removing from the planet.
That description seem to fit humans pretty well! You could relate it to the way we treat each other, or the way we have treated other animals and the planet in general.
The last few mumps outbreaks have been completely among the vaccinated population. So it may even be safer to be vaccinated for mumps than to get something that makes you more likely to get it.
I guess you have never used a sticky rat trap. That stuff does not run and will stick to you as soon as you touch it. Just cover the car with that glue and people will stick to it permanently.
His idea was to allow only kids and licenced adults. That is the funniest part. How is my kid going to have access to a kid internet, but I won't be able to get on? Perhaps if all children are taken from their homes at birth to be raised in large warehouses or something, but I don't see many people accepting that route either.
That would suck. It would be like drawing with a marker on glass. No one ever does that.
Never been to an office with a shortage of white boards, but no shortage of big windows? People do it all the time. Not ideal but it works.
Or the Combat Information Center (CIC) room on a Navy ship. The people who write on those have to write backwards so the officers on the "correct" side can read what is written. The best ones can write a single sentence with both hands starting at each end and meet up at the middle. A couple of pictures.
I saw the transparent LCD display on slot machines at a trade show in Vegas over 6 years ago. They were mechanical reel slot machines with the front glass as a clear panel that could draw lines or pictures over the matching symbols. This video shows one that is a bit fancier than the ones I saw years ago, but after the spin you can see the lines draw across the matches.
There are women who have had breasts cut off completely because of a false positive. I don't think it is such a small mistake as you make it out to be. And just the stress alone could cause a lot of harm to a person.
You could call your car say, thirty mins before you want to leave downtown or have it pick you up at a give time...
Better to call it 45 minutes ahead of when you expect to leave and let it drive around the block for the extra time. That will just create more traffic and so the car will take longer to get to your destination. Better call it an hour ahead just to be safe.
I'm thinking they will end up refunding or a class action suit will happen. It's the cops responsibility to know the laws they are writing out tickets for.
Sorry, that is wrong. Courts have found that you cannot expect a police officer to know the law that they are enforcing. And if they make a mistake it is ok and they can proceed with your trial and incarceration. http://thinkprogress.org/justi...
On the one hand, I kinda agree with you. Let the cops issue whatever tickets they want, and let it be hashed out in the courts. It's no different from letting anyone sue anyone else for anything, and letting it get hashed out in the courts.
On the other hand, then you get things like "I'm innocent, but it's too much of a hassle to prove, so I'll just pay the damn fine", and I feel that cops, or hell, government in general, should be held to a standard that discourages such practices.
And I also support the use of deadly force as self defense against the "mafia in blue". If they break the law so frequently with no consequences, then they are no longer the upholders of the law. They are just another criminal organization and defending yourself against them trying to kidnap or shoot you is perfectly acceptable.
Except that you don't compare the prices accurately that way. If the oil to heat your home is cheap, you will use that and pay the health care and environmental costs in your medical bills and government taxes. But the solar power that produced the electricity that you could have used to heat your home might have been more expensive per unit of home heating, but you would have had none of the other costs added on later so would be cheaper overall.
Yeah, but "those people" don't care about getting to the truth. They only care about getting someone to confess, even if it is a wrongful conviction. They would count an innocent man going to jail as a success and the same man leaving free to be a failure.
Try out a Kerby Vacuum. They are expensive as hell and use bags, but the suction is awesome. It gets more dirt out of the carpet than the first vacuum got even after the first one had been used first. It also keeps the motor cooling air flow separate from the vacuum air flow by a solid steel wall. No reduced cooling when vacuum pressure drops or damage if water is sucked up. Life time warranty on the things to.
They are really great when they are new. Once the rubber gasket seals between the parts no longer make contact with the mating surface, they loose suction. So unless you are going to replace every part on the vacuum every year or two it does not work so well.
If you think you need a control to test something, then all science dealing with the stars and galaxies and dark matter and the universe in general are not science since we have no way to make a control. I guess we can't say how the planet Jupiter will orbit next year since we weren't able to create a control planet that does not follow gravity! And we should just stop sending satellites into orbit since we don't have a control experiment that does not have space around it. I think you are claiming too much is needed.
The strange behavior of quantum particles and entanglement could be due to the way the simulation saves memory by not duplicating particles that do not have a separate interaction with the universe. And it only resolves when needed, when it is observed. And the quantum nature of the universe is because it is a computer simulation that has a limit to the values it can represent. And the visible edge of the universe due to light speed / CMWB could also help to limit how much processing needs to be done.
But the actual charge is on a credit card. And since the real card is never put into the reader, the chip is not used. If someone gets the card number they can make charges with it without the card or the phone or the pin. If the system required the card and could not make a charge without it then Apple pay would not work unless they put the actual chip from the card into the phone.
Put it another way.... say you needed an artificial arm...would you probably wouldn't run down to the nearest street fair and buy a "Toysmith 6135 Galaxy Grabber Robot Claw", merely because it was a cheaper commercially available alternative.
It's funny you use the artificial arm as your example. There are a lot of news stories of people building hands or arms for people using 3D printers for much lower costs than the medical ones cost. It is basically the same thing. Either the kid has to do without, or someone with a 3D printer makes a hand for him and he functions very well. But we don't want that, do we? Not enough money going into the 1%ers pockets!

And never underestimate the amount of lies you are fed by the corporations and government entities involved.

That's the one I use for back. I don't usually use the backspace key to go back in the browser history because that does not make sense.

This will also help to hide how much support is needed for their OS and make it seem better than it is.
Wow! That was good. I laughed at that reply. Kudos to you and thanks for the chuckle.

The moment that fetus decides to stop being a parasite on someone else it can have its right to stay alive.

Of course, there are the people who didn't realize the rule changed and thought they were parking illegally...
Negligence of the law isn't a defense, in either direction.
