I saw on the TV a long time ago that the jack that came with the old VW bugs is perfect for this task. And who said the nightly news isn't educational?
Federal Reserve starts cranking up interest rates, investor funds start drying up, unprofitable businesses start dropping like flies...think I've seen this movie before.
Or, I suppose, one could replace "Federal Reserve" with "Animal Spirits" if they wanted to tow the party line.
You have no right to make yourself a nuisance to people who don't want to hear what you have to say.
Yeah, you're right, all those civil rights activists who got lynched and the 'four dead in Ohio' at Kent State were asking for it because they were a nuisance.
All the reasons you give sound like the justification for 'free speech zones', like 'why should I have to listen to some nutter with a megaphone while I'm trying to enjoy feeding these pidgins' because, you know, reasons.
Most people already figured this out a while ago but apparently you weren't playing attention. Most drivers just don't care apparently since a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow (which, incidentally, is the principal behind 'interest') so they happily pull the equity out of their car.
Kind of like people pulling the equity out of their houses during the real estate boom, to them it seemed rational at the time but in hindsight wasn't the best plan.
I have never once seen someone able to do it in the decade I taught commercial semi (articulated lorries?) truck drivers though I heard claims of this type and many more that were even more amazing.
Every. single one of those 'amazing multitaskers' failed, because every one with that mistaken belief in their heads have one thing in common. They practice what they preach and show everyone just how poorly this works.
And since it takes an exceptionally clean driving record to even get to be trained by me, I was training the top of the class compared to the driving public as a whole. And many of them still sucked.
The salvageable ones learned the Smith System and by and large became good, responsible drivers. There are always exceptions, but they don't generally last long once they are on their own.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to call bullshit.
You can't really take a sub-section of the driving population (people learning to drive trucks who aren't really familiar with the vehicles to begin with) and extrapolate that to the entire driving population.
Spend a day with someone who's driven professionally for almost two decades and did a couple tours driving around Iraq then decide how long it takes to get enough situational awareness to safely pilot a vehicle through an intersection. Hell, man, I city-drive distracted most of the day and still have 'an exceptionally clean driving record' with a big target on me since people want to get a huge payday by getting hit by a company vehicle.
So, yeah, 'amazing multitaskers' do exist in the real world...
As opposed to what? As fewer jobs become available, the alternatives are give a portion of it or have it all taken by force. Do you really want history to repeat itself?
Ok, show one historical example of a technology that lead to a permanent destruction of jobs.
Just one. In all of human history. Can't be all that hard. I can wait...
And no, this time isn't different because reasons.
Do you really want to pay $5 for a tomato, because that's the alternative.
Do you really believe that if they paid everyone a basic income that prices wouldn't adjust so they are exactly relative to current prices plus the added basic income?
That's more likely how you'd get to $5 tomatos (though paying people to sit on their ass all day to not pick tomatos would probably work too).
I was thinking about having FBI for dinner tonight, think that might be the Subway $3 special today...or maybe it's BLT, mix those up a lot when my tinfoil hat is on too tight these days.
Dude, bash on winders has been available to the unwashed masses for at least a week now. Beta or no beta every single piece of software better support it or they'll be hell to pay!
This is the USA. We're the ultimate example of why privatization is a bad thing. Want ambulance service? Oh, no, you're taxes don't cover that. Pay up. House on fire? No, your taxes don't cover that either -- pay $900/year for the privilege of maybe having some of your stuff saved if it goes up in flames. Instead of the lowest possible cost spread across an entire nation, it's essentially legalized extortion and most people just try and do without.
As opposed to real live legalized extortion where if you don't pay they steal your property and/or throw you in jail?
Oh, wait, I think I see the difference, with legalized extortion you get to directly benefit from the stolen labor of others while the 'essentially legalized' version you must pay for what you use.
No shit...
I 'liberated' the Kuwaitis, I 'liberated' the Iraqi, figure I've done enough for 'democracy' without someone forcing me to vote against my will.
OpenFX is kind of a pita, takes a bunch of work to integrate it into an application and then you have to build plugins for every OS/compiler version. Not to mention that you have to deal with 'artist types' whining when it doesn't all Just Work (tm) because they downloaded MS Super Fancy Millennial Edition Compiler Suite while the app is compiled with MS Poor Folk Express Edition.
Plus it's just a plugin system and not designed for cross app image compatibility hoohaw with built-in indestructible image whateverness.

IDK, maybe we could take the money we pay people not to farm and use it to feed the homeless internment camps in the desert?
I know, crazy idea...
Call me strange but second only to lighting up a cigarette, I've always found it a turn-off if a woman pulls an iPhone out.
...soon to be followed by the rescue call where her chihuahua has an immediate medical emergency but, 'it was nice, we should do this again...'

Seriously, now I'm even sadder...
I've got no dog in this fight but...

Makes me sad.

No, Morton Salt reactors, in the Utah.

Probably depends on how much military aid they get from the US to buy the things.
Installed it on my laptop when it first came out, it sucked ass at playing videos (the primary usage of said laptop), put Fedora back.
It was sooo worth it though...

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

What, like limiting an individual to two terms as president?
Eh, /me needs to use proper html tags...

Save As does a conversion on the original jpg/png/whatever while Save doesn't. Seems like a 'feature' to me.
The silk screen press taking up space in my living room would disagree. Just need a four color press to do the CMYK thing...
