There are about 500 nuclear power plants worldwide and 24 years for this prediction to come true. There is a 1 in 24,000 chance that a given plant will have a Chernobyl event this year or a 1 in 48 that any plant will have a Chernobyl disaster this year. Both those numbers seem remarkably high and I agree that they are getting pretty liberal with their numbers to get to a 50% chance.
Face it, no one in their right mind would want a traceable record of their visit to a prostitute.
Which is quite impossible to avoid when you use a "call girl" and don't pick up a "hooker" from the street.
How is that impossible, you can meet at a hotel you paid cash for, call her on a throw away phone or a pay phone. Where is the personal information leak?
It's not hard to build a dragster that can outrun a Bugatti Veyron in a quarter mile but I wouldn't call one faster than a Veyron until it beat it around a track with corners.
A Veryon did the 1/4 mile in 9.7 seconds, if you go to any drag strip there are very few street legal cars that are going that fast. It's not as easy a putting a turbo or nitrous on a stock car and ripping out the extra weight.
It's top speed was 121mph the 112 was it's 1/8 mile speed. It's 1/8 time and speed are on par with cars running in the mid 9's but torque at high rpms is what electric motors lack.
That's the problem you can't have unlimited freedom if you protect the people from the consequences of their decisions. If society has to bare the burden of supporting an addict then society should be able outlaw those decisions that lead to that outcome.
Of course if can fit into a lot of devices if those devices are designed for it. Would it have killed them to make it backwards compatible with the hardware that already exists? I'm sure it has all sorts of lovely features but is it really too much to ask for the designers of this shit to think about future proofing their designs as well as backwards compatibility?
I won't be happy unless it's compatible with an 8 inch floppy disk.
Habitual drug use for a TS is much more difficult to overcome even if the person has stopped. You have to convince the investigators you will not use again which is much more difficult for someone with Obama's drug use history.
Elected officials are granted access to classified information even if their history would exclude an ordinary person. This happens with many members of congress with questionable pasts. I remember reading that Obama would not have been granted a TS clearance, due to his many associations with foreign nationals, drug use, and associations with domestic terrorists, had he been a regular person.
I'm guessing their metric has to do with value of the vehicle and cost of maintenance. If you assume the car lost 60% of it's value after 6 years then annual costs should only be 60% of the loan. This of course makes no sense on many accounts which is more evidence that it is the metric they used.
I could get 6 hours a day if all I did was work and watch TV. The most TV I watch in a sitting is Saturday cartoons with the kids while my coffee kicks in so I can make breakfast. If I sit for longer then two hours I start to get frigidity and have to get up and do something.
So you are saying if the addiction is not the cause of their inability to be a productive member of society, you are okay with them being an addict?
Yes, If the person is able to manage their addiction enough to contribute to society they are not my concern. When that changes they can choose their addiction or welfare.
What if, say they are an untreated bipolar person?
I see your still having trouble understanding the sentence I'll try check boxes this time. Remember you need all 3 check boxes to qualify.
[ ]-Addict an untreated bipolar person is not an addict
[ ]-Unable to be a productive member of society due to addiction again a bipolar person is not an addict
[ ]- uses welfare because they can't keep a job due to addiction Again not an addict.
I'll help you analyses the sentence since you seem unable to.
If however you can not be productive due to your drug addiction and must use welfare because you can't keep a job you don't deserve welfare.
The person has to be an addict, unable to be a productive member of society because of that addiction, uses welfare because they can't keep a job due to their addiction, if they meet all those criteria then they don't deserve welfare.
You know, you make the assumption that the reason the person on welfare is on welfare is because of their drug addiction. By the way, wealthy people also burn out while using drugs, its just that it is easier to hide.
Where did I make that assumption? If you didn't quote what I wrote I would think you are responding to the wrong person. Just reread my comment below.
If however you can not be productive due to your drug addiction and must use welfare because you can't keep a job you don't deserve welfare.
You want addicts running the engines of the economy? If you ask me, a bunch of addicted job creators are much more of a threat to the country than some welfare queen or Walmart worker addicted to vicodin.
If you can be a productive member of society and do drugs then you are not my concern. If however you can not be productive due to your drug addiction and must use welfare because you can't keep a job you don't deserve welfare.
I know GM did a free replacement of catalytic converters for many 2001 & 2002 cars that became plugged because a piece of insulation broke off. They offered this for cars within 10 years 120,000 miles which is way outside their warranty.
MS does a lot of shady things, but that isn't one of those.
It's not shady to inject undocumented code, that collects system information, into binaries? I'm pretty sure that there would be a shit storm if some of the software I wrote tried to phone home on the protected networks it's used on. I suspect that was how this was found the software started setting off firewall warnings and they traced it back to the the compiler.

Your strawman is a little weak, smoking crack != having more welfare children.

1. Will she face ANY sanctions of any kind?
She will be placed on double secret probation
2. If WE would lose security clearance, will she?

frigidity (adjective) - to become distant or cold and restless.
I had a professor that gave up TV, he moved out to a commune and hadn't watch TV for 10 years. His dated TV references were top notch.
I could get 6 hours a day if all I did was work and watch TV. The most TV I watch in a sitting is Saturday cartoons with the kids while my coffee kicks in so I can make breakfast. If I sit for longer then two hours I start to get frigidity and have to get up and do something.
It hasn't stagnated, just all the easy cool stuff has been done.
It's my mistake I assumed a 1st grade reading level.

[ ]-Addict
an untreated bipolar person is not an addict
[ ]-Unable to be a productive member of society due to addiction
again a bipolar person is not an addict
[ ]- uses welfare because they can't keep a job due to addiction
Again not an addict.
If however you can not be productive due to your drug addiction and must use welfare because you can't keep a job you don't deserve welfare.
The person has to be an addict, unable to be a productive member of society because of that addiction, uses welfare because they can't keep a job due to their addiction, if they meet all those criteria then they don't deserve welfare.
Sounds like you are volunteering to suck the water off the lithium batteries when the first idiot takes his Tesla boating.

It's a tangential relationship to size and distance. The GP compared the two in radians.
2mm grain of sand 1 km away
atan( 0.002/1000) = 1.14e-4 degrees
37m asteroid 14e6 Km away
atan(37/14e9) = 1.51e-7 degrees
The asteroid appears 750 times smaller then a grain of sand at those distances. A grain of sand 750 km away would be a much closer comparison.
You want addicts running the engines of the economy? If you ask me, a bunch of addicted job creators are much more of a threat to the country than some welfare queen or Walmart worker addicted to vicodin.
If you can be a productive member of society and do drugs then you are not my concern. If however you can not be productive due to your drug addiction and must use welfare because you can't keep a job you don't deserve welfare.
Are you one of those people that thinks that it's not your money, it's the government's.

Movies so bad a series was created to make fun of them. AI's 1st attempt at making a movie is not so bad when compared to the other garbage out there.
