I wish people would stop saying that. Yes, they are fiat currencies, but that does not mean they aren't real money or that all fiat currencies are equally arbitrary in valuation.
The value of the USD is measured against other currencies and against the things which one would like to buy. In most cases it doesn't really matter to me what it's doing versus the RMB or the CAD as I don't convert my money to pay for things brought in from those countries, I pay a price denominated in USD. Now, in practice shifts in those currency exchange rates will affect how much I pay, but so do all sorts of things that could affect domestically created things as well.
Bottom line, the folks claiming that fiat currencies aren't real don't have any idea what they're talking about. Currency is just for convenience so that you don't have to buy an entire cow just because you want a T-bone, don't want to take delivery immediately or want to do a 3 or 4 way trade.
Kids have no privacy, by law the schools are required to provide PII to the military recruiters so that they can be hounded for years on end and generally lured into something they probably don't want. If I had wanted to be hounded by the US Navy, I could have given them my contact information, it's not like they don't have advertisements or a phone number for various locations to call.
If I'm understanding the excerpt from the law correctly, this only applies to people that only provide cloud services, so MS would be free to do that itself if it so chose because it's not usually just a cloud provider.
That's why you go to a college that actually has standards. There are schools where that is the case, then there are schools that demand a bit more, and you'd be nuts to suggest that the people doing hiring haven't figured out which degrees are valuable and which aren't. At least as far as large employers.
It's not miniscule, some hard core addicts drink the stuff because there's actually a significant amount of alcohol in there. I think these days those folks have switched to methanol followed by a trip to the ER or drinking hand sanitizer.
I'm pretty sure that's not true. These are Federal courts appointed by whoever the President is at the time that the seat vacates, so for that circuit to get out of whack with the other ones by that degree would be rather unlikely.
More likely, they see more cases that the right goes nuts about and people see that as evidence that they're further to the right. What's more, courts can only hear cases which are brought to them, they can't go out there and look for cases that they want to rule on.
No, that's not true. There is a small area inside the customs and quarantine area where you don't require a visa to be if you're traveling to another country, but that's related to international treaties and isn't a real border. It's also related to the fact that that's where they do the actual inspection and stuff as it's the most reasonable place to do the inspection.
Yes, but regardless of which way you shift the time, you end up with the same problem. 6 hours of school and 1 hour for commuting each way leaves you with no margin for error in terms of scheduling it so that kids aren't out when it's dark.
The reason why you have kids schedules set like that is that they're small and tend to act with poor judgment. The last thing you want is for them to come and go in the dark if you can help it as there are tons of bad things that could happen to them that would be less likely to happen with older people.
Whether you pick standard time or savings time, either way you run into the problem where you have 6 hours of school and 8 hours of sunlight. The only way you can arrange that so that kids aren't commuting in the dark is by centering it.
So, we should throw out trillions of dollars of infrastructure because the Europeans can't cope with our measurements?
As far as metric goes, there's absolutely no reason to learn them if you're not a scientist. It makes a few things less convenient like cooking, and makes nothing more convenient that you would normally do in daily living. It's mostly elitists in Europe that have this obsession with making the US change when really there's no incentive at all for us to do so, and a huge incentive not to ever change.
I lived under the metric system for a year and it did absolutely nothing positive for me beyond what imperial measures did.
I've advocated making all even months 30 days and all odd months except November 31 days with November receiving the leap year day. Simplifies things completely and never leaves people guessing, except for if it's a leapyear or not.
All that means is that rather than going to work at 9:00 AM PST, I'd be doing to work at 17:00 GMT, which would be of no benefit at all to most people. The people for whom it would be some benefit are probably already using GMT, UTC or something similar.
The imperial measures aren't a pain in the ass if you know how to use them. In fact they're easier in some way as you don't have to decimalize things. I can use a half, two thirds or a quarter when I'm doubling or halving recipes, something which is somewhat more convenient with non-metric measures.
The only people I see arguing against imperial measures for daily living are people who don't actually know how to use them. The contrived examples people use to prop up the metric system aren't ones that ever occur in real life. We don't compare the temperature to freezing and boiling to decide if we're hot, we rarely if ever think about both miles and inches at the same time as the precision wouldn't make sense.
And as for date, unless you're a proponent of year, month, date, you're day month year system is the worst one in common use as it ensures that the time dates are never in order with out kludge whether you care about sorting by month or year. People rarely if ever want to know what happened on a specific date in random years.
You could solve that problem by scheduling school in a more reasonable way without effecting everybody else. Ultimately with only 8 hours or so of light at the winter solstice, the only way to avoid that problem is by centering the school day around noon.
Bottom line is that it makes more sense to just schedule things properly than to kludge things together.
Not really, this would be more like not giving an alcoholic cough syrup because of the alcohol content.
And it's a very real concern, despite what some of the pro-drug folks around here seem to think. Just because it's for medicinal use doesn't mean that the body knows that.
No, the reason why American health care is so expensive is a lack of preventative care and free riding. In other nations, because everybody is in the system, everybody pays into it. The only people who don't have no money and are a significant minority. The US, that minority has been about 40m people out of a population of about 310m and those people aren't opting out completely, either they wind up in Medicare eventually or they get their services through the ER at the local hospital.
Regulations are not a part of the problem to the extent that it's worth worrying about until we get those other things fixed. Then we might need to fix the regulatory environment.
WA state has had tolls at points and in the past they've all been taken down after the infrastructure was paid for. We're doing another wave of them, so who knows what will happen, but they were approved of by the voters and the measure required them to be taken down after the infrastructure is paid for.
Bottom line, is that tolls are great, they only tax the people that are actually using the infrastructure rather than everybody, and if you use congestion pricing, you can encourage people to use less which is a net win for everybody.
To be fair, China doesn't have the kind of reputation that those other ones do for women's rights. Women in China are doing just fine over all compared with those other nations. It's better to be a man in China than to be a woman, but it's hardly the gulf that it is in some parts of the world. Women are capable of doing quite well for themselves, including administrative jobs that in many countries a woman would be barred from doing.
The only problem there is that it completely ignores the male experience. People get all up in arms about these things when they negatively effect women, but you see very little concern for the effects of men by all this misandry.
Porn is just porn, and it's unlikely that you'll find a niche that doesn't have a male for female equivalent out there where it isn't physically impossible. But, there's no particular concern here for the negative effects on men, it's the supposed negative effects on women that are being focused on.
Such blatant hypocrisy just serves to under mine the aims of equal rights and provides ammunition for people that really do think that women are less than men.
You see that all the time in the US, It's the Violence against Women Act ignoring the fact that fully half of the offenders are women and half the survivors are men. But, since women are valued, they get focused on and men get ignored because quite frankly men are only as valuable as their paycheck.
Not really, the kidneys can only hold onto sodium that's potentially going to pass through them, the do precisely zip for sodium that gets secreted by the sweat glands or if there's a sudden over hydration that occurs.
Craving itself is based upon different needs from a different time, your body doesn't know that getting the appropriate level of salt isn't as hard as it used to be.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect that they'll be confronted with fraudulent accounting practices if they're lucky enough to get to sign a deal with a major record label.

Pretty much, as a general rule, the more clever the Wall Street investment, the further away you should run.

The companies worth working for usually have better HR.

They can open those letters if they want to. Or at least that's been the case in the past. Not sure if this ruling would apply to that or not.
Yes, but regardless of which way you shift the time, you end up with the same problem. 6 hours of school and 1 hour for commuting each way leaves you with no margin for error in terms of scheduling it so that kids aren't out when it's dark.

There's no need to refute it, you're the one that's responsible for backing the assertion.
