In the old west gun fights were very rare. Nothing like what hollywood would have us believe. People had a whole lot more respect for one another. More guns would cut down on a lot of the horseshit out there. More guns, less crime.
I wouldn't think they would be still running by now. They're 30+ years old now. I had a guy that bought a 286 from me years ago. He tracked me down I think in the 2000s, it finally crashed. He wanted to replace the disk. He had a 20 meg disk and this was for a dentist. However after all this time I would expect the boards inside to be going bad.
It never was "trickle down", it was more like trickle everywhere. Everyone benefited from his policies. It did work and the US saw the greatest expansion the world had ever seen up to that point. We're about to cross it again it looks like under Trump. The Democrats economic model doesn't work anywhere in the world that it's tried. That's a fact, so is Reagan's economics.
Not hard to find. Just look at the numbers. Bill Safire was right in his time, however dog whistle has a new meaning today. Don't like what conservatives are saying - get the dog whistle out and call them a racist, fascist even the N word because the left can use the N word to describe a conservative black man or woman with impunity. Watch the dogs come out on queue.
What's funny is when the dogs don't know the psychotic left has changed what they hate. Good example is Comey. Cobert was caught flat footed when he said Comey was fired by Trump and they all cheered. They didn't know that was now a bad thing. Cobert had to clue them in. Some people might say the people on the left are really stupid.
We're scared. She'll get her walker out and chase us off her lawn. More like it, she'll get her mindless thugs to do it.
Ever see her district? Hollywood could use it for a post apocalyptic set. Like most Democratic run districts. Yet people continue to listen to these fools.

Might want to check this out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... In fact, Democrats often talked positively about Trump until he was a candidate for the Republicans. Black rap songs aspiring for him. A lot of black people are seeing the hypocrisy.
How do I break this to you. What you're telling me is you don't know what racism is. It's really offensive how people use it to describe someone simply because they don't agree with them. Usually over something very minor.
You complain about him pointing out black people get in trouble with the law, then bring in Hispanics which is an ethnicity and not a race. They're really just white guys for the most part. You can be black an Hispanic as well. The Census Bureau has a table on that and that's what was agreed to decades ago. Not subjective. As for the criminal problem - just look at the numbers. Black groups point it out. Trump had problems with people that happened to turn out to be black counting money. I'm sure there have been Jews that steal (Bernie Madhoff comes to mind), however I've worked with plenty of Jews and I've never had one steal a dime from me. I have plenty of black men & women steal from me doing business. OMG have they stolen from me if they get half a chance. That's fact, not racism. How much? I'd say well over 100K over the past 30 years. Well over 100K.
So I don't do business with black people anymore? Nope, in fact I own a bunch of houses and every one of them has a black family in it. In fact I recently helped get a black man out of jail. He was in for a violent related crime. I don't think he did it, which is why I helped him get out.
Sure you want to go into the immigrants? Especially the muslim bit. They have a history and they'll tell you that's how they take over countries. Come in, they don't assimilate, they take over. That's what they're doing in Europe with their enclaves and that's what they're doing here. Not that far from me in Virginia there's an enclave that I can't go to. Even though it's supposedly a public area. Little by little they take over areas, governments, put in Sharia law and then it's theirs. Resist and they kill you. In France there are a lot of no go zones. This is something Europeans fought for centuries to keep out and now they're welcoming them and even paying them to come. The stupidity of the young.
So let's talk about the Mexicans. Do you watch the fake news or the real news that'll tell you about how they have done DNA tests on these kids and can prove they are NOT related to the adults that brought them in? Child trafficking, sex slavery. They will claim they are their kids right up until the DNA test proves they aren't. Plenty of MS13, which is a big problem in PG County, right next to Washington DC. They murder a lot of people. In fact you have to murder someone to become a member. So why isn't it ok to talk about this? Sure there are people not like that, however there are a lot that are. We have laws about this. Why isn't it ok to enforce these laws? Why penalize the people that came in legally? Why are so many people duped by this.
I know about racism. I grew up with it. There was a city about 5 miles from mine that had a guard shack to prevent entry, Jews, Blacks were not welcome nor allowed in. I think the shack was removed in 1972. Black people couldn't buy in most neighbourhoods, only certain areas. Go south a little bit and they had separate bathrooms, separate water fountains for black people. As if they had a disease or something. Black people had a guide for how to travel. It was called the Green book. A black man could end up dead without it. No kidding. Black people couldn't get certain jobs. Can you imagine that? It's charging black people more to barrow money than the same situation white person. It's not showing a black man the same houses as the white woman. Same financials, she's white, he's black, shown different neighbourhoods. That's what racism is like. So who passed these laws, usually refe
I met a guy at a pool party that had a very scared up shoulder. He had major surgery done. He said he was a British citizen and hurt it. They said it would be a little over 5 years to wait to fix it, however they would fix it eventually. So he said it was actually faster to move his family to America, become citizens, get coverage and get the operation done here.
Then I keep hearing how great the UK and Canadian systems are.
Shit, the UK didn't have a minimum wage in the 80s and in the 90s I was working for less than $3.10/hour.
But hey, keep judging people by your own income level. Doesn't change the very substantial shift downwards in the cost of photography in the last 40 years.
You said it cost you more than a day's income, so I believed you had a job. Maybe you know a money fairy or something? If you didn't have a job you need to let us know how you came upon your money. If it's an allowance from your parents I'm not impressed. It means nothing as a measure.
I used myself because I consider myself at the bottom back then. I mean bottom. I was just a step above homeless. Some of us when we hit 18, that's it. Out of the house you go. End of discussion. If I had $100 in the bank it was a wonder. Maybe we just had it that much better in the US than the UK? Maybe, I don't know. I remember when I was married I had about $300 in the bank. Not a whole lot. I made it work though. Those days are behind me. At least for now.
As for photography, is it really that much cheaper? Sure, I have a canon DSLR and I think it has around 3000+ shots on it. The last one was probably around 12,000+ shots. Nice high res shots. Now if I go to print them, it gets expensive fast. I don't have a lab like I used to. So I'm back to a retail place. If I want trash, Walmart or the local other places. If I want a nice photo of my Daughter's wedding, that's some money. The one hanging in my living room was around $150. In the 1980s that same picture taken with my AE-1 would have been $20 all day long by a bunch of shops. Probably less than that if I shopped around. If I print it on my HP Laser printer? Yea, dirt cheap. Good for a lot of people, no where near the quality of that $150 print. In some ways I suppose, other ways I think it's probably more expensive unless I consider my income. If I consider my income now, hell yes. It's really dirt cheap. I pay a lot more in taxes than people make a year in the US. I know, that's probably not as impressive as it once was since a lot of people don't even pay taxes. We have a lot of freeloaders. I wanted to compare pictures from when I had no money to someone today that was in about the same situation I was back then and I know some people like that.
Interesting. Sounds like some of the same concerns from the past. The third link, at the bottom they tell us not to eat meat.
Real bitch around where I live. I work with a local farm in Maryland. Turns out there is no place that we can take cattle around here, we have to drive around 2 hours to a place near Baltimore. Even though there is a local place for deer if I shot it. It's not a commercial place or some FDA garbage regulation.
You're short. Trump won with 306. It's not his fault a couple people didn't vote in the college the way they pledged they would. Clinton had 232, 5 people didn't vote for her that were supposed to. Did Hillary blame you? Just let her know if she somehow missed you so she can come back and blame you too. Imagine if that despot made it.
Why? What is so terrible about him? He's racist - ok, show me. You made the claim, prove it. I know you can't because it's BS. I challenge people to show me that all the time, no one can. Right along with everything else they threw up and didn't stick. We know the Dems lie, Harry Reid said so with Romney about his taxes. Bold faced lie.
You're just like one of Hitler's brown shirts. Well intentioned, no brain.
There are powerful people that make a great deal of money with problems in the country. People that would have to get a real job if it weren't for their manufactured crisis. Take the whole mother/child separation bullshit. This happens every day to American women when they go to jail. Yet somehow it's not supposed to happen to an illegal that broke the law coming into the country? Why? It's a lie wrapped up in a moral argument.
Nobody would vote a drug dealer into power, no matter what your allegation.
Don't underestimate the stupidity of an electorate. We used to have Marion Barry. Mayor for life. At least mayor until the news papers stopped telling Washington to not vote for him because he was a no good, good for nothing bastard. Even the Simpsons made fun of him. As soon as the press layed off, he was out. Seemed like there was always a scandal with him. Kickbacks, etc. They were like - see, don't tell us we can't elect him!
Supposedly Bill Clinton had big drug connections when he was Governor. They used to fly the drugs right into his state. Don't know if it's true or not. If it is, then we elected a drug dealer President.
Holy crap, 1.5 years for a cataract? I would have been fucked. Both eyes when they decided to be a problem went from clear to 75% gone within two months. The other eye decided to be a problem about 1.5 years after the first one was operated on. Here in America I saw one of the best doctors in the US and it was done within a few weeks. I'm a pilot and that would certainly ground me during that time. So I'd be out for almost 3 years. I got the multifocal lens. It's a bit like christmas at night with the rings around the lights. As they have settled in it isn't as bad. I can still fly a single engine plane into Tampa or NYC at night, no problem.
Seriously? Photography was cheaper'n shit in the 80s.
When a single photograph cost me more than a day's income (which was the case in the 80s) it sure as fuck wasn't cheaper'n shit.
I certaiinly didn't carry a camera in my pocket that could take thousands of photographs for a marginal cost of 20 minutes charging its battery.
Where in the world did you get your stuff developed at? Maybe you were blowing them all up to 8.5X11" or something? I still have a ritz camera package for 35MM color print for 24 double prints and it was $22.76 in 1987. So even if you considered 1 per, that's still under a buck a shot. In 1983 minimum wage was what, $3.10 or something an hour? I remember the film itself was dirt cheap. This is at Ritz to boot, Fotomat (or your local destruct-photo) was cheaper. Prints are what cost you. I used to shoot a lot of slide film, then print it if I liked it.
Maybe if you bought Polaroid film, now you're talking some money. Crappy quality though quick picture.
I used to buy bulk B&W film as well and develop it myself. I must have bought a hundred of those tins over the years until I got married.
I'm a biology nerd. This is news that matters to me.
Good. So talk about it. Talk about how Greenpeace pulls bullshit to put things on the endangered list by looking for animals where they don't go because of altitude or other factors. Talk about the abuses of the other "environmentalist" groups that are just out there to make money for themselves by duping stupid California people.
Now let's talk about how the last administration would fine oil companies for killed eagles, yet not a dime for a fine if a windmill killed an eagle or anything else.
Very funny. He was special prosecutor before most slashdotters were even born. Where was I? Funny you should ask. I worked about 4 blocks away from him at another Government agency. They were corrupt as hell back then too. Everyone lied Ken said. The Dems of today makes those guys look honest. The Dems now expect to get away with it because they do almost all the time. It's like Tammany hall all over again.
If you're good at php, python is the next logical step. You'll love it. It has a really nice IDE and it's awesome. You'll be wondering WTH have you been using PHP all this time when there's Python.
