We also can get fired or otherwise disciplined for taking too many days off when we're sick.
Coincidentally, my grown daughter, who lives with my ex-wife, just now called me about this very thing. Evil-X has had a few eye surgeries lately (nasty ones) and my daughter told me her mom is driving her crazy because X is getting fired for missing too much work because of the surgeries, despite having worked there the last seven years.
I told my daughter to tell her mom to talk to a lawyer. I don't know if it will do any good.
Well, of course they are. They're stuck in the 1990s when they had that monopoly and didn't have to deliver quality. Now, they can't, and it's biting them in the ass.
You hate science because it conflicts with your religious beliefs
You hit the nail on the head, AC. He worships money, and as such hates taxes. So of course he's against anything like food stamps or science or labor unions.
No, that was a different Aldebaran. The Aldebaran that the death star destroyed was in a galaxy far, far away. This Aldebaran is practically in our back yards.
Aldebaran (α Tau, α Tauri, Alpha Tauri) is a red giant star located about 65 light years away in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. With an average apparent magnitude of 0.87 it is the brightest star in the constellation and is one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky. The name Aldebaran is Arabic (ØÙØØرØÙ al-dabarÄn) and translates literally as "the follower", presumably because this bright star appears to follow the Pleiades, or "Seven Sisters" star cluster in the night sky.[3]
What shitty design! One would assume clicking that arrow would take you to "New Releases". What would be wrong with having it look like a button and having it marked "back?"
Yet another instance of Windows' historic unusability. Not as bad as "File" in that stupid Office ribbon, though. But still terrible.
Second, why the hell do you give a shit about DRM in streaming content in a subscription service any way?
Because the Linux box uses the big TV as a monitor, and I hate Silverlight so refuse to install it on my XP and W7 boxes. But mostly because it's completely unnecessary and does no good for anyone except the sociopathic programmer who writes DRM.
That doesn't help you much if you're not in Germany (or Amsterdam or Nevada). Pot is legal in Amsterdam and Washinton State and Colorado, but that doesn't help you much if you're 5000km away in Florida.
Did you not even read the damned SUMMARY?? It was very popular and sold very well on iOS and Android, but not jack shit on wRT. Now, why would that be, I wonder?
I would think that any non-single "customers" would use cash so their wives don't find out, so how could the IRS determine earnings with any accuracy?
How does the IRS determine earnings in a neighborhood bar? Most of them here don't even accept credit cards and most people don't even cash checks in them very often. Neighborhood bars are mostly cash-only, yet the IRS seems to collect their taxes just fine.
Withdrawal symptoms of methamphetamine primarily consist of fatigue, depression, and increased appetite. Symptoms may last for days with occasional use and weeks or months with chronic use, with severity dependent on the length of time and the amount of methamphetamine used. Withdrawal symptoms may also include anxiety, irritability, headaches, agitation, restlessness, excessive sleeping, vivid or lucid dreams, deep REM sleep, and suicidal ideation.[22]
we are an aging society that is cannibalizing its stored wealth to lavish retirement and health care benefits on the older citizens
LAVISH retirements and health care benefits?? If I had to live on SS alone I would be in dire poverty, and anyone who lives on SS alone is dirt poor. LAVASH health care? If that were true, AARP wouldn't be selling medicare suppliment insurance.
Lavish, my ass. Compared to civilized nations like Sweden and Norway and Germany, the benefits geezers get are disgustingly niggling.
Military dominance is all about spending. It's quite like a bleeding edge computer. You spend thousands on the best of the best, and in a year's time anyone could have the same setup from a quarter the price.
If you're talking about North vs South Korea, or USSR vs USA then yeah. But in the case of today's US military, we spend more on defense than the next ten big-spending countries combined. We could slash the military budget in half and still be untouchable by any nation on Earth.
However due to union rules there are enough breaks and halts in construction, waiting for the proper permits and inspections...
What a crappy construction company! First, it treats its workers so badly that they unionize, then they wait until construction starts to appy for permits... this company won't stay in business long. Maybe the Magratheans will buy them out in bankrupcy proceedings for their assets?
A team of former NASA executives will fly you to the moon in an out-of-this-world commercial venture combining the wizardry of Apollo and the marketing of Apple.
For a mere $1.5 billion, the business is offering countries the chance to send two people to the moon and back, either for research or national prestige. And if you are an individual with that kind of money to spare, you too can go the moon for a couple days.
I take it English is a second language to you, so you may find this cartoon helpful. Also be aware that most English speakers don't read books and apparently don't pay much attention in school, so it's not wise to emulate anything you see in a messageboard, or even most blogs.
I think you meant to reply to the comment I replied to rather than me. I was replying to someone who said a tornado would ruin a blimp, I pointed out that tornados ruin everything in their paths. Overcoming something that can twist huge steel girders is quite an engineering problem! As you say, though, nobody's going to be flying a blimp or an airplane through weather that threatens tornados.
Sadly, it doesn't. An acquaintence of mine was jailed for some minor offense here in Sangamon County, and he died in agony from a perforated colon because they thought he just had a stomach ache. Of course, his family sucessfully sued the county for a shitload of money.
They're not going to let you out of custody, they're going to have a guard on you at the hospital. When the hospital releases you, back to jail you go.
Your "oldest trick" is quite ineffective. It also costs the county a lot of money.

I don't. Were it not for DRM I probably would.

There's no way to tell from TFA, it didn't state how much electricity was generated.

If it looks like a heart attack and it acts like a heart attack, then it must be a heart attack.
Meth and cocaine can give the same symptoms of a heart attack, and if you treat them with standard heart attack treatments the patient will often die.
The other possibility is basically, well, withdrawal will do that to you.
No it won't.
Hey, I'll go!!!

isn't it worth a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars more to get the opinion of an attorney or a CPA
The people who bought these houses couldn't afford attorneys or CPAs, nor did they know they needed them.
Sadly, it doesn't. An acquaintence of mine was jailed for some minor offense here in Sangamon County, and he died in agony from a perforated colon because they thought he just had a stomach ache. Of course, his family sucessfully sued the county for a shitload of money.

it would have burned, and quickly, but there would have been no "bang".
More like "whoomp" and not loud at all. Empty a firecracker and set fire to the powder, and it won't go "bang" either.
