Interestingly, as drug warriors grasp at ever fewer straws, they've found a tenuous linkage between Cannabis use and schizophrenia. Somehow they never propose criminalizing felines though.
They found a tenuous link? Must make them pine for the good ol' days when they just fabricated a strong link between the two.
The problem with that is that the developers are like the doves they sell in front of Buddhist temples in Thailand. As soon you set them free they're trained to fly right back.
Obviously this must mean that Martian rocks and Earth rocks share a common ancestor! Once again, Slashdot tackles the tough science questions that other media don't dare touch.
Was obviously sarcastic, as you seem to be implying. Which would mean that what you really meant was:
This does not obviously mean that Martian rocks and Earth rocks share a common ancestor! Slashdot does not tackle the tough science questions blah blah blah
Except, as my GP stated, those rocks do share a common ancestor.
So were you being sarcastic or not? If you were, you were wrong. If you weren't, you're the first person in internet history to have been understood as sarcastic when you weren't (rather than the typical reverse).
You do realize that link is to a propaganda piece right? Teachers do not average 11.5 hours a day. I have known plenty of teachers personally, and 11.5 hours a day is complete BS. About the only teachers that work any significant about beyond the 6-7 hour school day are teachers that must grade essays. So, your myth is already busted.
As a teacher I rarely work less than 12 hour days. From mid-February to the graduation ceremony in June I didn't have a single day off (a few short days on weekends, but never a full day off). I'm not really complaining, because I do take advantage of summer/christmas/thanksgiving, but, in general, I work from 6 am to 10 pm minus a few hours in the middle, 5 days a week in the fall and 6-7 days a week in the spring (though you're right about one thing, grading essays is a lot of that). All told, I worked somewhere around 2500 during the 9 months of last school year including every thing: class time, prep time, grading time, supervising/organizing extracurriculars (which is why I worked more days/week in the spring, without extra pay), and professional education.
Congratulations on having a sane boss. Somehow in the last 40 years MBA types have collectively forgotten what was learned in the first half of this century by every factory-owner/manager in the country: making employees work longer hours (past 40) results in less total production. They somehow think they get better value from 60-hour weeks, when in reality they're losing money on it.
Um, yes they (we) are. I teach in a low income school district currently, and as a single guy I make roughly double the median family income in the area. That's as a first year teacher (and before counting insurance benefits/student loan forgiveness programs). Pay in our district tops out at 5 times the median family income. Granted, it's a very poor area, but I'm still better off than almost all of my friends from college right now (who can't find any work thanks to the awful economy).
Corporate HR, bosses, and police should be reasonable? BWHAHAHAHAHA! Next you'll be saying some ridiculous shit like copyrights should expire, or congressmen should listen to their constituents.
In the US aiding and abetting requires you to actually aid and abet the CRIME itself, though you could be charged with obstruction of justice for withholding information. However we have the right NOT to incriminate ourselves, which means that anytime a police officer asks a question all you have to say is "Fifth Amendment" (which cannot be used as evidence against you in court). You would only be charged/convicted with obstruction if they could prove that your answering would not incriminate yourself in any way (and at this point you should be having a lawyer do all the talking anyway).
As opposed to bullying him and threatening him with the ruinous legal fees he would have to pay to get the court to rule in his favour? Yeah, I'll take this. A step in the right direction is a GOOD thing, even if it's only part of the way there.
Oblivion was boring. Morrowind was not. I did Mage's guild, Fighter's guild, Dark brotherhood (the high point of the game), and the main story line my first play through (and more, I'm sure, but it's been several years and that's what I remember). Did not even slightly compare to Morrowind in terms of expansiveness, creativity, or fun (with the exceptions that Dark Brotherhood was great and they fixed alchemy, although in Morrowind you could pretend alchemy wasnt' horribly broken if you wanted).
Morrowind (House Telvanni, Mage's Guild, Thieve's Guild, Main Story Line) vs Oblivion (Dark Brotherhood, Main Storyline, Mage's Guild, Fighter's Guild).
At least in the case of the Thai wives, those pretty young wives as you call them, are considered quite ugly in Thailand (which like most of Asia has a general cultural fetish for whiteness). Darker skinned girls (no matter their physical appearance in other regards) are considered ugly (and they're the ones in the case of Thailand that end up marrying foreigners in droves). I don't think the Asian males miss them much.
If the investor turns out to be mistaken, keeps them from having really bad PR of telling the next Brin, Page or Zukerberg that they aren't fit to be a CEO in their early days.
Except that Brin and Page were told EXACTLY that by the guy who did fund them. Hence the arrival of Eric Schmidt.
It's not about established businesses at all; it's about businesses getting special favors from government, which tilts the "playing field" in their favor against smaller competitors that aren't getting special treatment by the government.
Except you're making a false distinction between "government" and "other established businessmen." Do you know who all those Representatives, Senators, and assorted top-level appointed bureaucrats are? The same people running the companies. Saying they're getting special favors from the government, while true, obscures the reality: they're getting special favors from each other, masked by the false legitimacy of government. OP was spot on.

I think it's obvious by now he's trolling, not shilling. It's the only reasonable explanation.

NPR's late to the party. All of this has been common internet knowledge for YEARS.
You're doing those in the wrong order.
What if your local sheriff's name is John Brown, and you're planning on moving away tomorrow?
The problem with that is that the developers are like the doves they sell in front of Buddhist temples in Thailand. As soon you set them free they're trained to fly right back.
I'll answer the way a man with two penises answers when his tailor asks him if he dresses to the right or to the left: yes.
Someone's got their panties in a twist. Should I call someone to help you with that?
I'm thinking you're the one who's not...

Mars needs a Luna Park, clearly.
It's not everyday that a single murderer causes a company to drop an entire model from their lineup.
If you weren't paying attention then they were never torturing anyone in the first place.
Some of my students don't have reliable running water or power. I don't think bugging their parents for donations is going to work...

Because Federal law trumps state law, and Federal makes it a crime to do that on the internet (unless the site allows it).

That usage happens quite often. For an expensive law firm, though, it seems like a stupid error.
Usages that happen quite often are by definition not errors. Source: Every linguist of the last century.
