There's nothing weird about Russia wanting warm water ports , of course, you wrote that. But there's nothing weird about Russia wanting a buffer of client states to blunt land assaults. Ballistic missiles being used would likely mean nuclear war, and that's a losing proposition for all sides. Land assaults can be done today, since they always relied upon political preparation and semi-surprise. So reestablishing the Warsaw Pact 'alliances' is very useful for Russia, and clearly NATO establishing relations and membership with those states moves the political/military line of defense further east, which is not good for Russia.
It makes sense. Russia under Putin is behaving both predictably and rationally. Their limited attempts to influence politics in other nations is also rational, and is unexceptional. Not that it shouldn't be exposed, denounced as diplomats do, and even perhaps countered, but it's predictable. Most nations do this, and a surprising number of nations that would not seem to have a stake in the outcomes of other nations' affairs do so just to establish their cyberwarfare capabilities. Imagine this - if you could, with a minimal investment in armament, such as a crate of AK-47s and a few dozen land mines, develop a military capability that would bring American to its knees, would you? That's the equivalence of cyberwarfare. It take surprisingly little in resources to wage cyberwar at the same level, and with equal results, against any nation, large or small. If for no other reason, some tinpot/crackpot dictators do this just to pump themselves up, distract the opposition foreign and domestic, and extract concessions or aid from other nations. Win-win. All you have to do is know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
If you consider ejecting young men out of your society, into a foreign culture where they are entirely unprepared to survive much less succeed to be nonviolent, then the Mormon practice of polygyny would be nonviolent.
Simply put, polygyny leaves the unmarried men at a significant disadvantage, and in authoritarian societies can lead to such expulsions, or outright violence. Mormons are not so inclined to murder their young men, so expulsion was the most common result. Recently only the fringe fundamentalist Mormon sects practice this, and with predictable results.
Please, if you're going to fiddle with theology, at least get it right. And yes,not only were the Jews supposed to murder the Christ, but it was necessary. Read. It's well discussed, and has been for centuries. Joel Osteen has nothing to add to it.
I sit next to two team members who loathe VB, and are using it by choice to solve problems and increase productivity in meaningful ways, rather than use tools that are too expensive to justify.
Complain all you want, VB does work. Still. Right tool for the job, my friend. Whatever it is.
Um, I'm not sure how to express this so that it is understood, but I'm certain that experience shows this is wrong. Some religions may, but ultimately religion exists to show people a truth. What they do with it is largely determined by the truth. If their faith teaches they should serve a god that wants the best for them, including a relationship with that god, they may indeed be 'better' than not. If their faith teaches them to serve a god that requires them to rule over all other peoples, well, disagreeing with them can lead to something hard to describe as 'better'. If their faith teaches them that all is fate, and they can only influence their own circumstances, I'm not at all sure in what direction that leads.
Clothing and shelter are considered necessities in the developed world. Does the free market fail there?
Healthcare is a commodity also, necessity doesn't change that. If a free market in healthcare existed in America we could test the theory, but it doesn't and hasn't for decades, if not longer. Your premise, I believe, is flawed.
Yes, my chosen religion requires me to change my attitudes and behaviors, not just in public. Most any philosophy would, to be fair, so tarring religion that way seems narrow minded.
"They just want to see non-whites as the ones in power." So, by your definition, progressives/liberals are racist by definition?
I agree, and it's refreshing to see it plainly stated. Using race as criteria is racist by definition. Look carefully at the histories of the major political movements in America. and see the undeniable truth.
I would rather have another HP-41C. Damn, what a machine.
But no, current smartwatches offer no compelling feature for me. I can teach Google Now to hear me through my jacket. It can dial my mom's* number for me, open the sports radio* app I prefer, and set a timer for the steaks on the grill.

This instance shows an example of an ad that is probably, probably, infringing.
Craigslist was challenged for this. From the article:
"The FHA makes it "unlawful to print or publish or cause to be printed or published any advertisement with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, family status or national origin."
This post advises that the 2010 Equality Act prohibits publication, and so holds the publisher equally liable...
Section 623e of the ADEA specifies an employer is prohibited from "(e) Printing or publication of notice or advertisement indicating preference, limitation, etc." Continuing:
"It shall be unlawful for an employer, labor organization, or employment agency to print or publish, or cause to be printed or published, any notice or advertisement relating to employment by such an employer or membership in or any classification or referral for employment by such a labor organization, or relating to any classification or referral for employment by such an employment agency, indicating any preference, limitation, specification, or discrimination, based on age.".
I suspect, as a matter of law, a newspaper could easily be found to be liable for having been an agent to "cause to be printed or published" such a notice, and liable for its publication.
When I see ads looking for degrees but not experience, I assume they are looking for clay.
When I see ads looking for myriad experiences I generally find they are looking for visa opportunities, claim there are no qualified applicants and go the visa route. I notice our gummint has started vetting the visa applicants to see if they actually meet the requested criteria. Seems it's harder than I knew to prove that they do.
I've gone from office machine repair to word processors to pc repair to network and systems admin to technical analyst for a financial institution. Not total reboots, mostly evolutionary, though the analyst role had me learning the payment industry while I spend 30% of my time supporting a PC app and web apps.
Most 'older folks' do end up training into entry-level jobs. In fact, most people train into entry-level jobs. That's what training gets you, until you build experience, which isn't training per se.
ps - 'older folks' is slang I hear from 'young kids' meant to describe 'too old'. I get that a lot from the Millennials I work alongside. I'm fairly tolerant of that soft discrimination. Most would not even recognize it if it were pointed out to them. But in the main they are adapting well to our corporate culture, and they will pretty well also adapt to the 'older folks' that actually make their ideas work. Funny thing, they like success. Who knew?

Of course Russia messes with us. Duh.
Even clothing, then, is not a 'free market'. As nothing, bu that definition, is free.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Oh dear. So we are arguing about made-up murder?
I understand.
The proportions seem to confirm what TFA purported. Polygyny leads to the death of male competitors.

That's a swing and a miss, but you're forgiven. I like my coffee burnt. Broaden your horizons. My 90-Two was not stirred by this.
WiFi.
LTE.
Your TV.
Etc.
Electromagnetic emissions are everywhere. You're already bathed in them.
(this should be good)
True. 'Free' power fits right into the Socialist meme that was in ascendancy back then. Still is. Still failing at everything but killing people.
My first thought, reading this story (the story story, elsewhere), was 'dang, that Nikki guy finally got his props'.
But no, Tesla is a polarizing figure. Not like Einstein is in any way controversial. Oh, wait.
They were SUPPOSED TO.

Not many Active Directory systems permit self-enrollment. In these systems displaying the login/password message makes sense.
Wrong that the goal isn't to make changes, but to merely agitate?
Interesting. I gotta work this out.
That was my point. I left off employment, but clothing or retail is generally not a protected market. Generally. Think it through. Redlining.
