What use is it to society to punish a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old that are in a relationship for having consensual sex?
The assumption is that the 15- and 16-year-old are too young to handle sex responsibly, and will as a result end up with either disease or pregnancy. Since society as a whole is better off with less disease and less unwanted pregnancies, preventing 15- and 16-year-olds from having sex presumably results in a net gain for society.
The reality is that the policing, punishment, and resulting "destroyed lives" from banning this consensual sex is probably even more detrimental to society as a whole, but getting support to change the law to "let more kids have more sex" is going to be tricky.
I would get "Who Was Albert Einstein?" by Jess Brallier from the library and give it to them. The whole "Who Was" series is great, as is the "What Is/What Was" series.
Consider an area that is to be divided into 10 districts. If the population is made up of 90% horses and 10% cows, and all cows live close to each other geographically, it would be nice (and "fair") to have 1 of the 10 districts be a cow-district with a cow-representative.
Without net neutrality rules, Comcast is allowed to slow down Netflix traffic to the point where it's unusable, just because they feel like it. They're allowed to tell you "use our Xfinity streaming service instead", and you're allowed to switch to their competitor (which doesn't exist in your area).
Without net neutrality rules, Comcast is allowed to charge you extra money for a not-slowed-down-Netflix, and they're allowed to charge Netflix for that same privilege.
Without net neutrality rules, Comcast can make more money by giving you shittier internet access without you being able to do anything about it.
And if you think Comcast won't pursue new ways of making more money, I applaud your optimism.
It sounds to me like he is simply looking to replace Excel
He was. TFA mentions he already switched. This article is just a clickbait title and an advertisement for "cloud-based technologies from Anaplan Inc., Workiva Inc., Adaptive Insights and their competitors".
(c) but as far as I know, separating captive males and females is not so easy
Since the males don't bite, it sounds like you can rig up a fresh side of pork with some automatic fly-swatters, and just kill the ones that land for lunch.
Also, none of the articles I looked at on this topic included a link to the video. What is it with "news" no longer linking to their sources? C'mon people!
To me, it's a machine or tool. Like a Hummer. Use a Hummer this way and it does something. Use it another way and end up with bruised fingers. It all seemed so simple and transparent and obvious . I just groked it, long before the concept of grok, and I could not for the life of me understand why other people couldn't get it.
So a power-user that knows precisely which of the two she intends can pick the right one.
The annoying part is that one of the two is just a swipe away in the new control center, while the other is in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying âBeware of the Leopard.â
Don't forget about free local channels via OTA antenna, which is a very good option for anyone in a (sub)urban area. ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and usually more. There are some costs for the antenna and DVR (if you want one), but no monthly fees.
I'm sorry, but it looks like you didn't understand the point I was making. Perhaps that was my fault, because I see now that I could have made it even simpler. Let me try again.
half of what you pay at a gas pump is tax
That is wrong, because at most you currently pay $1.83 per gallon at the pump, of which $0.58 is tax, and that is much less than half.
Sorry if my previous post confused you. I hope I made myself clear this time.
So currently, the highest anyone is paying at the pump is 31% in tax.
If you are unwilling to tell the truth about obvious facts, I have to conclude everything you posted is a lie. Sorry you suck at debating so badly that you resort to easily disproven points to make your arguments.

TLDR: nurture
Only thing I can imagine is if that's 4.4mm wide, and pretty flat.
It's not. It looks just like the old 3.5mm one but fatter.

Our universe has uniform complexity, EVERYTHING is complex, not just one thing.
True, but most of that doesn't need to be simulated. Only the parts that I interact with are actually relevant. Everything else can be optimized away.
To me, it's a machine or tool. Like a Hummer. Use a Hummer this way and it does something. Use it another way and end up with bruised fingers. It all seemed so simple and transparent and obvious .

If we're going to pimp products, I'll mention the ChannelMaster DVR+. Same one time fee, and 14 day channel guide included (some restrictions apply).
Kill-and-Restart is the new refresh.

Facebook will share the space with 300 Bristol-Myers Squibb employees.
I misread that as "Briggs-Myers Squib" and thought well that isn't very nice.

Probably half of what you pay at a gas pump is tax
People in North Carolina pay the highest in state and federal gas taxes, at 57.55 cents per gallon.
Current NC gas price: $1.83
So currently, the highest anyone is paying at the pump is 31% in tax.

Yup.
When you spend 8 hours bagging other people's groceries you can get an employee discount.
When you spend 3 minutes bagging your own groceries you can get the enjoyment of faster check-out.

Work from 20 to 50, save 30%, and expect to live from 50 to 90 off those savings? I can do the math on my fingers to see that's not going to work.
Even if someone saved 100% for 30 years, inflation will ensure they can't live off that for 40 years afterwards.
