Yeah, I thought about adding it to my post... but felt just a little too over-the-top asshole in the event the parent post to my original was non-American.
Most laws he will try to pass probably will get vetoed by Congress or the Senate (forget who vetoes who) and when they try to pass laws, he's veto them because that is the sort of asshole he is.
Pres gets to suggest new laws to congress. Congress can choose to vote or drop it on the floor.
If a bill passes congress, the pres can veto. If the bill is vetoed, Congress can overrule with 2/3 majority in both houses.
If a bill is passed into law, Supreme Court finally has the power to review and deem it unconstitutional.
Of course you might. There's nothing like America for single-issue voting.
"Well, yeah, he's a complete idiot, and he'll plunge our country into a new depression, and half the population will starve to death, and the other half will eat them to stay alive, but there might be a few more jobs for American tech workers at the end of it!"
"It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people!"
I think your being unreasonable. There government actively encourages low standards in education. Jeez, just look at the Burger State where they mandate the teaching of something that is blatant nonsense.
In such a climate, how would you're spelling rate?
OK, answer me this: How much does a Calorie (kilocalorie) weigh? How much weight do I lose if I burn one kilocalorie, or under which conditions?
(Btw, if you're referring to food Calories, it's always a capital C, or preferably just call it kilocalorie.)
"old science" was something along the lines of 3,500 kcal in a pound (2.2 kg) of fat. However, some quick googling seems to indicate that this statement is being viewed as (partially) false nowadays, due to the way that weight-loss tends to taper off as you lose weight; though I cannot really find any specifics as to what the "new science" actually is.
My bet is that it's a ploy by nutritionists, etc. to get you to pay more into the system (i.e. because "we're keeping the actual data secret"), rather than have something that anybody can work with -- like the "3500 kcal is the stored energy in 1 pound of fat" statement. Suppose a good way to test it would be to grab a pound of fat (say lard or tallow or something) and burn it and calculate the energy release.
IIRC (and got the napkin maths right), you should be able to raise 350 L (approx 10 US gallons) 10 degrees C while at sea-level (i.e. one atmosphere air pressure), so it should be a pretty easy test. Though I fully admit the fallibility of my napkin maths .
Nah, they just have to give it enough programming that it can fix itself after the goons try killing it... though you're not really gonna find a well-stocked radio shack these days.
I wonder how much of a chance there is those times come back...
The ultimate step to controlling reality is to erase all evidence of a reality that contradicts the one you desire, to the point where even those harmed by the changes you promulgate will prefer your version to a conflicting one
Anyone who does that are desperados, and in the current era we live in, many entities - from humongous entity such as the government of the United States of America to that pitiful UK news rag joint are trying everything they can to erase the reality
They think they can hide the truth?
They think they can keep on repeating their bold face lies until they become truth?
What are they thinking?
That MiniLuv and MiniTrue will actually start doing their jobs, and the populace at large will simply be grateful for their chocolate rations to be increased to 25 grams per week (some of us realizing that last week our ration was 40 gra -- &^#$#)@!*$ NO CARRIER
"We don't care, we don't have to, we're the phone company" doesn't quite sum it up anymore... and well, "We don't care, we don't have to, we're the phone/satellite company." just doesn't have as nice a ring to it.
death-star or no, AT&T just doesn't have the same flavor of evil as TWC & Comcast. Least not in my experience anyway (now, I've never had them for anything other than landline... and that was short lived, as they couldn't compete in the "internet" market... and still can't where I live).
it's apparently pure diesel fuel (i.e. C12H23, or thereabouts). So, yes a [volumetric unit of your choice] of this stuff will work in exactly the same manner as standard "extracted from crude oil" diesel currently produced.
They grew up in a time of blind jingoistic nonsense, though people are now growing up in the same, possibly even worse with all of the constant propaganda.
The older generation is smart enough to know that the cold war never ended. Stupid millennials are going to be in for a rude awakening when Russia marches on Europe.
Nah, we (they? stupid non-hard dates for generation lines) partially grew up on Command and Conquer.
I for one await the day that the Allies call upon me to command the forces on the Eastern Front.
What would happen if every single railway company would have different track gauges?
Lots and lots of trans-loading stations... and increased costs, etc. Probably would cripple the economy (as it seems to run on cheap Chinese goods that're built to break in 3-4 years in the first place... "They don't build 'em like they used to" and all that).
In my case, 1 star and 5 star reviews are filtered out (if possible) from the results I'm reading.
2, 3, and 4 star reviews are where the meat of the "good" reviews are (i.e. the "Look, I'm not a pro, but still I consider myself better than average. Tried using features A,B,C,D that're listed as supported, and work flawlessly on [other brand of same thing], however those features do not work on this device." ). Obviously it's not a flawless system, but usually the reviewers giving it 2-4 stars ALSO include steps for fixing problems as well -- or better ways to assemble it than what the instructions said.
Wtf, so much better has been built. If if not those, just shut up and install wordpress. But someone wrote a book on it OK
just like all the people still using Sendmail, BIND, SCO Unix, or Windows: apparently being mediocre (or just plain shitty) is a highly effective strategy and will guarantee for a system long life.
I get the idea of moving away from Sendmail, SCO Unix, or Windows... but for a DNS Server what would you consider "better" than BIND?
Slashdot Mirror
So .. never, then?
And nohup up is what systemd is breaking in this "update" ... do try to keep up.
Check out Devuan (devuan.org) ... systemd-free fork of Jessie. Still in the 1.0 beta, but it runs well for me. Community seems fairly active too.
Don't you know that MINITRU^H^H^H^H Twitter is 100% truthful in everything that they provide?
That's with Verizon EDGE, and a sufficiently large data plan (IIRC it's 6 or 8 GB / month). They'll then take $25 off the monthly handset charge.

WTF happened to slashdot, not even getting movie references anymore.
Get off my lawn and watch the movie.

"Congress" is made up of the Senate (2 reps per state), and the House of Representatives (Reps dependent on state population).
Pres gets to suggest new laws to congress. Congress can choose to vote or drop it on the floor.
If a bill passes congress, the pres can veto. If the bill is vetoed, Congress can overrule with 2/3 majority in both houses.

Google TiSP?
Still a pain in the ass changing the UI around in that manner... I still muscle-memory to the task-manager (formerly, menu) button.
Domenic Merenda is a man who is virtually encased in an aura of marketing shtick.
I think you accidentally added "virtually" to this statement ...
Design of yesteryear coupled with all the Lenovo MITM software of today! What could possibly go wrong??
