Every time I see these meteorologists on TV waving their metaphorical "THE END IS NIGH!" signs on the latest "This one is going to kill us all!" weather event in another shameless bid for ratings, I'm reminded of that video of the news "reporter" reporting on a hurricane as if he was about to be blown away by the ferocious winds at any second, only to see a bunch of elderly couples calmly walking around behind him, enjoying the beach.
I've seen some pretty impressive shameless exaggeration and exploitation of weather events for ratings over the years, mind you. But the Weather Channel has really stepped it up a notch here in a graphics department. Kudos to them!
When asked for comment on the AirPower's status, an Apple Store representative turned pale, swallowed his emergency cyanide pill, and yelled "Father Steve accept me!" before collapsing on the floor.
Poor kids from shitty schools get all the attention. But no one ever gives a shit about smart kids. Everyone just assumes the smart kids don't need any help. But think of how high they could sore if we stopped focusing on helping some poor kid from the ghetto who's probably never even going to college and started focusing on the kids who might actually cure cancer one day.
So fuck all that feel-good/virtue-signalling shit, I'm banking on the smart kids who might actually provide society with something useful someday.
Ah, who am I kidding? I'm never going to get rich. I'm just one of the smart kids who never gets to benefit from a diversity hiring or quota program.
Not to mention that "parent" suggests patriarchal patronization, as if strong women and minority programmers need "parents" to tell them what to do, instead of having their own agency.
Helped me quit too. Vaping is the first thing that really worked. Those patches, gum, etc. are fucking worthless. But vaping let me draw down my nicotine usage until I didn't need it at all anymore.
I suspect that's why to government wants to ban vaping. If people quit smoking, then goodbye tobacco tax revenues. Vaping scares the tobacco industry and politicians, because it actually WORKS in getting people off their over-taxed cancer sticks.
No worries. The people shall write a harshly-worded letter to the EU leadership detailing their grievances! And, if necessary, follow it up with a very harshly-worded letter!
Obviously the farmers who are buying Deere think they're a better value than the competition, or they wouldn't be buying them would they? It's not like John Deere doesn't have plenty of competition to choose from. Shit, I used to work on a farm and I never rode a Deere in my life. My farm bled red, thank you very much.
So John Deere offers better value for the price then, because they invested the R&D to have their equipment communicate better while their competition sat on their asses. Either way, there's nothing to stop their competitors from investing in some R&D and offering that same technology too, and nothing forcing anyone to buy Deere.
It's a little hard to bargain when your working class job can be replaced in a minute with a worker in India or China willing to work a 60-hour week at a fraction of the cost you want for a 30-hour week.
Case, Massey Ferguson, and dozens of others. But farmers like John Deere because they're cheap. But that cheap comes with strings attached.
Farmers are basically cheap bastards who want to have their cake and eat it too. They want Deere's cheap prices, but they don't want the repair center lock-in that allows Deere to sell so cheap.

Maybe they've come back to build us some more pyramids.
He lives in heaven with Snoop now.
Please tell me it's still okay!

And yes, I'm pretty sore about it.

It helped me quit. Do you think I'm bullshit?

When it comes to Brexit, the UK government is like the car I had back in university: forever stalling.
No worries. The people shall write a harshly-worded letter to the EU leadership detailing their grievances! And, if necessary, follow it up with a very harshly-worded letter!
Yes, because the UK without kind-mother-EU to guide them will surely just begin to throw out all their human rights laws.
Of all the arguments for staying in the EU, this has to be the most absurdly ridiculous one yet.
Back to AOL and strictly walled gardens, I guess.
Haven't you heard? Words are now considered violence.

LOL. Are farmers a protected class under the Civil Rights Act?
Well, then go buy from Case then. Is there some law that says a farmer has to buy Deere?
It sounds like Deere agreed to give them the manuals. So let them DIY their own parts then, or buy them from a third party.
