Thanks. I'm in favor of (at least) some level of national/universal health insurance, which would obviously be tax-funded, and I thought I was pretty clear about that as well as actually agreeing with (while correcting) the parent post. Sometimes I seriously wonder what moderators are thinking when they mod troll/flamebait as clarification and constructive criticism are not either - nor is objective truth (a phrase which should be redundant).
I'd trust it more if it didn't have a fallible human behind the wheel.
I trust computers not to drink, drive sleepy, fiddle with the radio, talk to the hounddog on the CB, text cousin Willy, be aware of what was happening around it for a full 360 degrees every microsecond.
As opposed to the fallible human that programmed those computers... who have no personal responsibility over the vehicle, who may have been drunk, sleepy, fiddling with the radio, etc... Ya, I know - but testing! blah, blah, blah... That still makes my ass twitch.
Looks like the factory has both a history of accidents (2 previous deaths) and owner/name changes. That could indicate a culture of disregard for safety.
The owner of an automotive parts assembler gave thanks that he would not be receiving visits from pesky environmental and workplace overseers.
The president of a trucking company spoke of a “tremendous dark cloud” lifting when he realized he would no longer be feeling the burden of rules and regulations imposed by the Obama administration.
“My gut just feels better,” said Bob Fleisher, president of a local car dealership. “With Obama, you felt it was personal — like he just didn’t want you to make money. Now we have a guy who is cutting regulations and taxes.
Thankfully, those pesky environmental and safety rules and regulations protecting people and getting in the way of profits over disposable employees will be going away...
Oh, they'd all be complicit, sure enough, including that stupid twerp Ryan. But just as the ACA, put together by congress, became "Obamacare"; so would congress's new unaffordable / unavailable lack-of-care act become "Trumpcare."
IMHO, the legislative buck stops when it gets the president's signature. The only way it would not be Trumpcare is if it made it through both houses, and then Trump vetoed it. I don't think that's likely. Do you?
Nope, I'm with you on that. Just pointing out that it's basically Ryan's idea - Trump doesn't seem to have any of his own...
Personally, I would like to see some level of tax-funded national/universal "basic" (or catastrophic) health care/insurance with additional coverage available via the private insurance market.
Sure, here you go. People who reenact the movie Fame. Like people who reenact the Civil War, but for young, dancers and singers. They sing the body electric. Not sure why it's on/.
Besides, they are NOT authors, they're middlemen who have their own interests first.
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. They bought the rights, it belongs to them. For example: You're not a car maker, but you bought your car and now it belongs to you.
Emacs is a remarkable accomplishment. And it's easy to see how the handful of folks who can memorize the bizarre key bindings and innumerable conventions and navigate the buffers efficiently could love it and find it to be enormously satisfying and productive environment. But it's not something most of us can use, much less use effectively. A road better not taken I think.
Agreed and, just noting that, I've used Emacs since the mid 1980s and am a big fan. To be fair, the key bindings aren't really that bizarre and most are pretty logical (and you can re-bind them as you like, but I recommend against it and, for commonality, I only add using unbound sequences), but the learning curve is a bit high.
This new standard will enable amazing video games and high-performance web apps for things like computer-aided design, video and image editing, and scientific visualization... Over time, many existing productivity apps (e.g. email, social networks, word processing)...
Too bad I use my web browser for - you know - browsing the web, like 99% of the time and I suspect most other people do too. Those other things are better suited for local applications. Ya, I know: but, but, but... no buts. Firefox; stop trying to good (or mediocre) at everything and concentrate on being great at one thing. Seriously, you're not Emacs.
Pfffffffft, that's NOTHING. You should see the death panels we have up here in socialist Canada. They're literally at the door of the hospital. If you get sent to the waiting room on the right, you're not ever going home. I hear they take you to the "waiting room" where they use a bolt gun to finish you off, divy up your organs and grind up the rest into government issue dog food. I know someone who's cousin's relatives were given an urn full of cigarette ashes and told to kiss off. Don't even get me started about the 98% tax rate on income over $20!
Sure, but you all are very, very polite while doing all that.
If you think all GOP are going to support it you're insane. If you think all Dems will oppose it, let's wait till the bribes get handed out.
I'm not sure which is worse. That Republicans will screw people over without a bribe or that Democrats will with a bribe. On the other hand, the former is pretty much a dick move, while the latter is just politics.
I hate seeing these wild claims about 3D printing, which wile cool are disingenuous and skip over so many important details that turn out to be real buzz kills.
Just wait for the announcement of a 3-D printed 3-D printer! And 4-D printers are next, but it will require a strong cup of tea...
May be was just all those employers, like Bill Looman, who said they wouldn't hire anyone until Obama was out of office are now hiring again:
Bill Looman, the owner of U.S. Cranes, LLC, told a local NBC affiliate, 11Alive, that he put up signs on his company trucks stating:
"New company policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone"
Sorry to be pedantic, but doesn't it look much more like a ravioli than an empanada or a gyoza?
In any case, it's ethnic food and, whenever the Earth and Pan are properly aligned, it's a foreign thingy over US airspace w/o proper clearance. It's gotta go.:-)
... the argument carriers use to charge differently for various data plans is that bandwidth is a shared, finite / scarce resource. By allowing "zero rating" they're ignoring that rational. Therefore, why can't *all* data plans be flat-rate, "unlimited" and/or all data be zero-rated?
No, it says if a US Person is incidentally picked up on the wiretap, that information must be "minimized".
Un-wad your panties. What you and I stated are not mutually exclusive. They're not allowed to target US persons, but if one is incidentally picked up, it must be minimized.
Yeah, you can grow things in Mars regolith. If you first remove the toxic perchlorates. And the hexavalent chromium. And the general excess of arsenic. And on and on. Basically, if you take a highly polluted natural material and remediate the various pollutants from it, then add water, you can grow plants in it.
Sure, the toxic substances may need to be removed to make the potatoes safe for us to eat, but will they just, simply, grow without removing them? Growing and eating are two different things.

As long as it tastes good. And no being close enough or not to bad is not good enough.
Perhaps a prophecy, from Better Off Ted, season 1, episode 2, Heroes about lab-grown meat:

Thanks for the info. (Seriously don't know why my post was mod'ed "troll", but I'm not new here, so ...)
I believe that this is the more likely scenario: ...
More likely, the company didn't want to cover his dying wife on their health insurance.

... they would get free health care.
Well... "free" as in "tax payer funded".
Personally, I would like to see some level of tax-funded national/universal "basic" (or catastrophic) health care/insurance with additional coverage available via the private insurance market.
Bond:
Trumpfinger:
At this point, it would, technically, be "Ryanfinger", but I digress.
SNL Weekend Update offered an alternative spelling for "TrumpCare" (or "RyanCare") -> "Don't Care".
... or explain what a 'Famer' is.

Hopefully, on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 and Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

Here in Iceland a ketchup-flavoured salt is popular on fries (us)/chips (uk)
That's really confusing - because there's salt in ketchup.

A remarkable number of people think the martian is based on a true story
That's nothing. Many people think our president and other elected federal officials actually care about them.
