It had a female lead who was more than capable of taking on the bad guys. Yes, there was a bit of the "Dirty Dozen" element, but Pine's character existed more for romantic tension and to help this strange woman in a strange land adapt to very new surroundings.
It didn't have bra burning scenes, if that's your idea of feminism, but I know one thing, my youngest daughter absolutely loved that film and Gal Gadot has become quite a role model for young girls and women, so if that's not a female-positive message, the very essence of feminism, then I don't know what is.
And what was wrong with the Wonderwoman movie? Post-Nolan, it's the best of the new batch of DC films, and in general I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Have you ever just tried to watch a movie?
I remember back in the day being told that it wasn't safe to look at the sun even with heavily filtered/polarized glasses during an eclipse. Not even welding masks or goggles were safe, and the only safe way to look at an eclipse was via an indirect method like a pinhole projector. Even now I see the warnings suggest that even with "proper" viewing glasses, you really shouldn't expose yourself for more than a few minutes.
Actually, there were a good many studies that conflicted with the "low fat" diet, but unfortunately the sugar industry has enough money and power that it was able to put out enough misinformation and put enough pressure on public health officials in many countries that they got the mantra of "get rid of fat", while they did everything in their power to make sure the amount of refined sugars in foods skyrocketed. But the fact that refined sugars are bad for you has been known for decades.
You are heavily exaggerating the differences between populations so far as dietary needs, and really, you're going to find distributions even within a population, but the reality is that hunter-gatherer populations simply did not have access to high-carb diets, and in particular there were no refined sugars. Whether you're from Western European heritage, East African, Japanese, Inuit, Native American, the fact is that caloric needs are fairly consistent, and no one has evolved the ability to deal with highly refined sugars. Full stop.
The buns are loaded with sugar as well, and there are other issues with processed foods, but yes, pop really should have a skull and crossbones on it. A more interesting question might be, what if he just ate the patties?
No, the whole epidemic is because the sugar industry poisoned the well through manipulates studies and manipulation of governments to grossly exagerrate the risks of data so they could push more of their product. Frankly if any industry should be tried for crimes against humanity, it should be the sugar industry. The numbers of deaths due to over-ingestion of sigar-loades foods dwarfs tobacco.
It depends on the problem. If you're talking about large scale multi-regional infrastructure, well, that's what the Federal Government was designed for when it was rebooted after the failure of the Articles of Confederation. Now I applaud these people in rural areas for taking the initiative (and hope they don't run afoul of the same Big ISP attacks that their urban cousins have suffered when daring to put in their own infrastructure), but the fact that they have to cobble together their own solutions to get access to 21st century communications systems is a sad testament to state and Federal level failure to take the lead on delivering such access.
Trump has so managed to alienate his own party that even early backers like Rep Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) clearly have significant buyer's remorse. My prediction last year that if Trump won, his Administration would eventually become so alienated that even Congressional Republicans would turn their back on him is coming true, just a helluva lot quicker than even I imagined it would. Hell, even members of his own Administration like Rex Tillerson are actively distancing themselves from him, perhaps hoping they can survive a potential impeachment, or perhaps simply hoping to hold on to their dignity in the face of a man for which dignity is a concept that is completely foreign.
Clinton at least acknowledged that some of the industries in question (ie. coal) were dying, and that the Federal government should do more to assist in economic diversification. Trump just told a bunch of people he'd somehow magically make it 1950 again.
Now of course a lot of that would be up to Congress, and maybe Congress wouldn't have been interested in any economic diversification and job retraining that a Clinton Administration wanted to put into action, but then again, it's not as if Congress is showing very much interest in helping out Trump, so maybe you're right, maybe it wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference, but at least Clinton showed some reason and realization of the economic reality of areas like the Appalachians.
Perhaps some of the purchases, like a phone, fall below the line where they'd be considered an asset. That may work, but, for instance, go out and buy an expensive multifunction copier/printer/scanner/fax machine, and you're looking at well over $1500, and there's no way you're going to be able to write that off as an expense.
Like the subject says, in almost all use case scenarios consumer leases are a scam. They great for the leasor, who gets a constant cash flow because most consumers can't afford or are unwilling to pay the buyout at the end of the lease, and thus create a perpetual rental situations.
It's different for businesses, because while actually purchasing a capital asset means you can only write off the asset via depreciation, which can take a few years even for a phone, a lease is a regular write off. Unless your self-employed, and thus can gain some benefit from the monthly write off of the lease, it's better just to buy the bloody phone, either outright (which is what I do, I don't do phone contracts) or as part of a contract.
Porting an application from the desktop to the phone is no trivial matter, even if the APIs are similar. Yes, internal data structures and probably a fair bit of the under the hood code remains the same, but your interface, where a good deal of effort of such software goes, is going to be overhauled.
Didn't have to wait long for the vague "The Windows phone is so superior!"
Windows Phone offered nothing that the other major phone OSs didn't offer. Exchange integration is present on pretty much all major mobile platforms now, and since MS is marketing versions of Office for these other platforms, well, there's even less reason to consider Microsoft's offerings.
Microsoft is walking away, you can stop defending there next iteration of their failed mobile strategy. Unless you're a shareholder, in which case you should be hopping mad at at the sheer stupidity of the amount of cash and resources dedicated to something everyone knew was doomed.
Someone who got conned by an MS sales pitch, that's who.
I eagerly await the "Windows Phone is the best phone over, and only iSnobs and Android fruits care about apps!" The Microsoft phone defender is almost as pathetic as the Blackberry defender.
I prefer mnemonic commands rather than Get-* commands that can get very long. Yes, I know some of the more common commands have *nix-y shortened versions, but that's only a fairly small subset.
I've had registry hives get clobbered a helluva lot more frequently than I've ever had text files go down, and really, a rootkit in Windows is going to be able to access the API calls for the registry, so I fail to see how either way a sufficiently clever rootkit can't disguise itself.
A lot of your statements seem more like special pleading, and I'm not buying it. Arguing binary logs and configuration files are superior because they're harder to fake really is just an argument for security by obscurity.

They'll just make sure the state government makes the project illegal.

No shit. Every CPU back in the day was hot enough that if you got three workstations running them in a room, you could turn the heat off.

And wow, now I'm getting downmodded for wanting someone to demonstrate the veracity of their assertion.
If it happened then citations should be forthcoming.
Citation?
