... with current ISP bandwidth and monthly data limitations. Not to mention the lack of 8k TVs and Blue-ray devices -- or affordable ones anyway. And... there's no real benefit to 8k for a typical home setting. So, who's this for? People with money to burn?
While we were there, I was in full view of a family where the teenage son spent the entire meal on his phone reading posts under the table - Snap, Insta, FB, whatever, I couldn't tell and don't care. I was frankly shocked. I get that you have to pick your battles as a parent, but damn, Thanksgiving dinner is a hill worth dying on. Neither parent had a phone out, so far as I could see, so they certainly had grounds to quarrel with him.
I have a friend who has a teenage daughter with severe Asperger's. They were in town a few years ago for Comic-Con and I took them out to dinner. Her daughter spent most of her time on her smartphone as it was the only way she could handle being in a public social setting like that. (She did better at Comic-Con because she was dressed up in costume and, I believe, "not herself".) She and I did talk a little, whenever she was ready, and we all had a pretty good time. When I dropped them off at their hotel, her daughter hugged me goodbye, which surprised her mom, who said she had never seen her do that w/o being prompted.
Maybe things were different with the kid you saw, but keep an open mind going forward...
President Donald Trump said he doesn’t buy his own government’s National Climate Assessment detailing the devastating impact climate change will have on the American economy during a Q&A session with reporters on Monday.... “I don’t believe it,” Trump said. “No, no, I don’t believe it.
But Trump has taken a very different attitude when it comes to the business he owns.
As Politico detailed during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump International Golf Links sought to build a seawall to protect a golf course he owns in Ireland from “global warming and its effects.”
In a permit application for the wall, Trump International Golf Links cited scientific studies indicating that a rise in sea level could result in damaging erosion in a bay near the golf course.
“If the predictions of an increase in sea level rise as a result of global warming prove correct... it is likely that there will be a corresponding increase in coastal erosion rates not just in Doughmore Bay but around much of the coastline of Ireland,” the application says. “In our view, it could reasonably be expected that the rate of sea level rise might become twice of that presently occurring.... As a result, we would expect the rate of dune recession to increase.”
Neither can my 17-year-old nephew, who asked, "why do they even make cars with manual transmission?" (sigh) I hope correlation doesn't equal causation, 'cause he would make a horrible car thief - impulsive or otherwise.:-)
All my cars have been manual, including my current 2001 Honda Civic EX and 2002 Honda CR-V EX -- as will be any new cars I eventually buy.
Plus, they require you to install software to your computer that tracks surfing, keystrokes and even takes screen grabs and photos via your computer's camera -- and this is typically on a gig worker's personal computer, not an employers' machine.
Good grief. That is fucking appalling. This Liemandt guy sounds like a complete sociopath.
Obviously, one would (should) get a separate PC and use it *solely* for this work. This also makes it easier to deduct it 100% as a business expense.
The process described in the patent involves parking the car in the sun, opening the windows slightly, and optionally turning the engine, heater and fan on.
So, they've patented a way to make global warming worse? Thanks Ford.

if it isn't meat...
Ya. It's a "steak-like substance". (Says so in TFS)
Probably tastes like "despair".

Personally, March of the Penguins would be pretty far down on the list.
It was a joke commenting on the actual lack of action in 2001: ...
Look. I like this movie, but why didn't they pick something with more action, like March of the Penguins?

... should be 4x10^84.
My grandfather says 4x10^83 should be enough for anyone.
A group of researchers found three unrelated families where individuals had mitochondrial DNA from both parents.
Hmm ...
But darn it, I want my PC to have accurate time.
The optical lattice clocks they're talking about "would take longer than the age of the universe (13.8 billion years) to lose a second." (from: Scientists Build Atomic Clocks Accurate Enough to Measure Changes in Spacetime Itself). If you think your PC will last that long, I want to know more about it than the clocks... :-)
No more drinks and conversation. Eat and move out, so the next group can come in.
Table turnover is one of the key metrics for profitability.
Anonymous Cowards are such romantics...

How so? Show me that the US actually was the country responsible for the increase. Until then this is a lot of hot air.
That explains it! There is a LOT of hot air coming out of Washington, DC. Most of it's probably CO2. :-)
That's a hell of a thing to say! It's a desolate frozen rock!
Not so bad. If you look in the photo, off near the horizon, there's a Starbucks.
Probably not "any" car. Pure electrics aren't made with manual transmissions.
Hadn't thought of that; thanks!
Most impulsive car thieves can't drive stick, ...

All my cars have been manual, including my current 2001 Honda Civic EX and 2002 Honda CR-V EX -- as will be any new cars I eventually buy.
And here's the kicker -- if the thief is inside he will remain locked inside until police can arrest them.
More likely, you'll find one of your windows or the sunroof broken or kicked out and the car empty.
The solution is to engineer something to feed the cattle or the people (that doesn't come from cattle).
How about using a different kind of cattle for feed?
If the reductions achieved in the UC Davis study could be applied across the worldwide livestock industry, ...
Applied *worldwide"? That's a pretty big undertaking - and a LOT of seaweed routinely grown and, probably, shipped as a feed additive.
See buttcoin isn't the only way to lose money.
A good proctologist can help you find that ...

So dead is "a little sick"?
They're not dead, they're resting.
If they were, he (the FCC) would tell us - to make the ISPs look good - duh.
... is starting to eat their own.
Well... They're less fatty and chewy than the Right.
... this decision would keep the floodgates to a torrent of spam texts closed ...
Torrent is not a good way to distribute spam texts.
Musk also announced the initial crew and alternate crew selections.
