I'm guessing that the above are being attributed to those in ancient times who actually dared to think for themselves and question what their elders decreed, and it does not include the "Earth is unmovable on its foundation" crowd?
When can I purchase a DSL modem instead of paying AT&T $7.00 per month for equipment rental? I tried to purchase it but they refused. They have even raised the prices for "renting" this increasingly outdated VDSL modem. There is no UPS involved, just a 2Wire router.
When I got set up with CenturyLink here, the option was to lease the modem or purchase it. The pricing was set up so that ownership was more than paid for after 13 months of service. I think June of this year was the 13 month point. And coincidentally, either this month or next month, Charter-Spectrum will be set up here at 60MB compared to CL's 12MB; which means I will be jumping ship, and can then actually resell the CL modem.
A shame AT&T is dicking you over by not allowing purchase of the equipment. Guess that might have to do with AT&T effectively being the telecom incumbent dinosaur that is sloooooooooow to change procedures and policies (this is how we have always done it, and we will crash this company into the sea before changing our ways); whereas the "younger" services are more flexible and open to change.
You can't bring someone over from China or India to fix your vacuum cleaner, ergo you can't really be outsourced. Better, as wages drop through the floor people are going to have to ditch the disposable lifestyle and actually repair vacuum cleaners (instead of taking the trip to Walmart).
Electrical work is a pretty safe bet. You won't get rich but you'll always have a job.
Just wait until the Goobacks arrive from the future to take everyone's jobs for a small fraction of what these jobs pay to contrmporary workers.:D
It already exists. It's called finding a job. Where I live, the SF Bay Area, there is unlimited demand for filling jobs that pay $11-$14 "minimum wage" no skills and $18+ for low-end skills.
And chances are, the cost of living in that area is so horrific that even the $18/hr workers either have to spend the greater part of their free time commuting to and from work, working enough additional jobs so they have a 23 hour work day, or have to find a bridge to live under; because those subpoverty wages are nowhere near enough to actually be the minimal living wage that minimum wage was intended to be.
I don't think trucks' or shoes' producers are not aware that bad guys are buying their products, it's just that in most cases they can't differentiate them from other customers.
Defence attorneys are knowingly aiding and abetting criminals. Should we throw a book at them whenever we find out they were aware that their clients really did it? Aren't they wilfully obstructing justice?
Unless they are providing legal counsel services during the sentencing phase, then they are only still aiding alleged criminals. Just being accused or being on trial does not automatically mean guilty. That is what trials are for, to determine whether or not the accused is in fact a criminal.
Screw the focus on dropping the Nexus name. The name they should be dropping is YouTube Red. After all, no matter how their pointy haired folk try to spin it, it will always be easily confused with the already preexisting Redtube.
So hire programmers instead, since the ban apparently only mentions coders. If someone applies for a job and their resume says they are a coder, that one goes int he rash. If they say they are a programmer, then they can be hired.
In that case, since I refer to SJWs as the Butthurt Brigade, Then a brigade of trolls would suffice. Or at least it will if my me-ism of The Butthurt Brigade manages to catch on.
That's what this attack on the right to free speech is. Those 13,000 dipshits that signed it should be shipped off Stalinist Russia.
That would require a time machine though. And if you had that, you could just go back and convince their mothers to take it in the arse or down the throat on that fateful night.
After all, as a wise man named Ergo (The Magnificent) once said, "If you're going to wish, wish big!"
I had briefly considered ending the post with something like, "as anyone who makes a move toward the bar's landline phone would probably be shot immediately, or in the UK glared at and shouted at to stop."
But I figured I would leave that little opportunity to someone else.:)
I'm sure the bar has a phone you can use in emergencies. Heck, the bar tender might already be on the phone by the time you ask them for emergency services.
Under most emergency circumstances that would work. But, if it is something like an armed robbery or any other hostage situation, you would not be able to ask the bartender to use the phone, because he would be dead the moment he reached for it. If voice recognition is mature enough (as I asked about in another part of the discussion), then someone could mutter almost inaudibly into their BT mic that is on their earpiece, and have their smartphone call 911 without anyone else overhearing them.
Armed robbery? Why the fuck do you think that the robber will let you make a call?
Just out of curiosity, is voice recognition on most cell phones mature enough to where a person with a Bluetooth earpiece (that also has a mic) could have their phone call 911 (or the UK equivalent) without the perps overhearing? If so, that could conceivably an argument against blocking, as anyone who makes a move toward the bar's landline phone would probably be shot immediately.
Nobody is going to hire you if you go around doing it too often, so I doubt you'd get your chance to do it thousands of times. And ultimately, they are greedy so hope you turn the company around. Warren Buffet said he has a problem finding people greedy enough to work for him because usually what happens is talented people become hundred millionaires and retire. He said it's very difficult to motivate a billionaire to come into work every day in a high stress position. I know I wouldn't.
Well, if you liquidate the company and make tens of millions out of it, you don't need to ever do it again. You now have enough to live happily and comfortably ever after. Why not take those millions and simply enjoy the rest of your life?
I suppose that non-conforming exhaust system I bought COULD be used as a piece of art. I didn't actually SAY i would install it on a car even tho it asked what car it was for.
Same as buying a bong was legal as long as you didn't call it a bong cause then it's not.
Thankfully, that is no longer illegal here in Oregon. Now at the smoke shops, they can freely refer to their bongs as bongs, and tokers as tokers. And on that note, the vaporizor should be warmed up, so now for tonight's first 420 moment.:D
Both of the friends we have bought from here (first charged $150 for an ounce, and the second was the $100 ounce guy) grow and produce primarily for the medical MJ industries. Since these guys have been my little brother's best friends since they were kids, they are essentially giving us wholesale prices.
I am guessing it will take one more full ounce purchase to keep supplied until I can get the grow room down in the basement operational again.
more expensive by an order of magnitude: in 1976 the Boston price for an ounce of killer Columbian was $35 (yes you read that right, $35); in 2016 a fucking GRAM costs $20 and ounce costs what, $450? Nice work, you stupid right-wing fucktards.
I am posting this AC because DUH.
Wow! That is some expensive shit. Last ounce I bought here in Oregon was only $100 (high quality stuff too).
As I posted in a discussion on the eBay seller forums almost half a year ago (in a thread where someone was freaking out about some listings showing kids in the photos)
We are going to need larger trees soon, because what with every one having a child predator, a terrorist, a drug dealer, and a Commie hiding behind it, there won't be any room for the next media boogeyman that comes along to keep the masses in their permanent state of fear and distrust.

Like Descartes, and the typical male human perspective, your perception is backwards.
And don't forget that according to Professor Bruce at the University of Australia, Descartes was also a drunken fart... "I drink therefore I am."
I am a Cosmetologist. I also have a BS in Astrology. That pretty much makes me a scientist.
I presume in this instance BS does not mean Bachelor of Science?
Good for the dwindling cable TV customers.

I know. Lets make a wonderwoman movie but cast a man as the lead role and not even change the name.
Like what Disney has planned for an upcoming Splash remake?
I think a gruff of trolls would work, and has a nice ring to it.
shot? in the UK?
I've heard that just can't happen....

I thought it was rather surprising that that Rothchild bozo (you know, one of the planet's owners) was not at the top of the list for richest person.

Funny, I thought Hebrew National was a brand of hot dogs, not a bank. Who knew ?? (grin)
That was my first thought too on the headline. And they are quite delicious. Oyvey! :D

A pair of legislators in California have introduced separate pieces of legislation aimed at grabbing more money from the state's citizens...
