Funny, none of my addons broke going from 4.x to 5.x, and none of them updated automatically either. Same version as before.
Saying addons break going from 4 to 5 is going to require some citations as one aspect of this update was a change in how addon compatibility is handled.
Oh yeah, paint up a Super Shuttle bus, load it up like OKC, drive it up to a terminal and bye bye airport lobby.
Although, honestly, all you *really* need to do is go in the out door and that'll shut the airport down for hours too without all that pesky covert purchasing of fertilizer, the bus rental/purchase, busted detonators, and the radical gets to do it another day!
They don't even need to blow it up! All a terrorist has to do is look at a plane funny and suddenly we're wearing form fitting body suits to get on a plane and getting handcuffed to the chair.
And no, I don't think the descriptive term 'pussy' was over the line. I think it's a very apt term to use. We're so irrationally scared of planes being hijacked now, we'll subject ourselves to humiliations that are starting to make the Vietnam War Hanoi Hilton look like the Hanoi Hilton on 1 Le Thanh Tong St, Hanoi.
The 80s were one long string of hijacks and bombings of airplanes, yet people still flew, security didn't go batshit insane, and we're going 'Bring it on!' Here comes 2011, and now we're cowering, wetting ourselves everytime someone starts praying in an airport and crying for the (apparently incompetent) government to SAVE US!!!1!1!
(Debate for another time: why do we suffer the government to do airplane security right? Aren't they incapable of doing anything right? That's all I heard during the Health Care Act debates... Just sayin.)
So, yes, the OP I responded to is a pussy. And so are you. And so is everyone else who demands this security theater.
I suggest accepting this and trying to be pragmatic about it, rather than being frustrated that human nature isn't logical. It's going to drive you nuts.
Being a politician *should* mean having to make the hard decisions people will hate you for in the name of a strong union. We used to have diplomats. Now we have politicorporations. John Adams killed his shot at a 2nd term by not going to war with France (XYZ Affair). Now we call those with anti-war views in bed with Saddam Qadaffi. How far we've fallen...
Look up the history of hijacked and blown up planes in the 80s...if one terrorist attack now can destroy an industry, I guess we were just ballsier in the 80s.
Yep, and thanks to them, they got to pull off a one time only ever event. Plane hijackings stopped becoming a legitimate terrorist tool as soon as the first tower was hit. (Who came out of 9/11 as the biggest heroes? United 93.)
The fact is terrorists are NOT stupid. They know they can't pull this off again, but they're having a hell of a time laughing at us pissing ourselves to soaking levels every time someone drops a penny at a security line.
Your pussy nature has let them win, exactly what you think you're trying to prevent.
People die every day, and in the US it's more likely to be from bee stings than terrorist activity. Yet we've determined to spend billions to make that a zero percentage. What about those terrorist bees!?
The penny has a smaller purchasing power than the half-cent did when it was phased out...in the late 1800s.
Honestly, competent financiers would see us ditching the penny as a step forward...we'd stop stamping out millions of them a year. Check that, four billion pennies were stamped in 2011. If pennies are so resilient why do we have to keep making so many?
Good luck finding an insurance provider to even help in covering treatment though...
Oh, and yeah, I doubt drug companies would have researched this. This is procedure, not pill. Fat chance of this being developed outside military medical research.
I know, isn't it great when you can use their own arguments against them?!
But, frankly, we're talking about factory floors here. There's already no expectation of privacy. Why these places don't already have security cameras installed as a defense is beyond me; it's not like this is a new phenomenon. For example, when I go to work, I pass two really obvious cameras right in the lobby and there's a good number more outside.
Do I have any expectation of privacy at work? Not remotely as much as I do in my home. Is it in the best interest of my employer to have these cameras? Yes.
Fact is, these events should already BE on video, and not from undercover carrot humpers, but from the factory's eyes in the sky. If these places don't have security like this already, what's stopping the veggie-terrorists from doing real sabotage?
So, none of these places have security cameras? If we can make security systems that can survive hurricanes we damn sure can make cameras that can survive living in an abattoir.
If the company is adhering to the rules of the law, they wouldn't have to worry about being defamed by people who lied to be hired and then made covert video tapes.
What about THAT side of the argument, Annette Sweeney, farmer and Republican legislator?

Man. Up.

Already nuts, but it does drive me to drink.
I'd work on their campaign is what I'd do.

And somehow airlines survived the 80s.

Not dissing bees. In fact, you could argue from my analogy I'm saying bees are more bad-ass than terrorists.
Yet the airline industry survived the 80s. I'm not going to bother listing all the hijackings and bombings. There's a metric fuckton.
So your logic only holds water if you apply the assumption that we're pussies now.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so damn depressing.
Meanwhile, every month people die in car accidents to equal about another 9/11.
Clearly our priorities should be stopping an event less likely than a shark attack rather than...bah, whatever, enjoy your security theater...
And to that I say... 'so?'

Notepad has been working flawlessly for me, I can say that much.
You could.
Which is why it's now illegal.

He's going to loose his mind for certain.
do you have a 401K or a pension? You're likely a shareholder of something.
Nope. Basically, I'm fucked come retirement...assuming I don't kill myself with cirrhosis first. I've made peace with that though.
Is this supporting terrorists or supporting stockholders?
One in the same...
It was all snark. This would likely fall under "experimental procedure" or "under study" for a good 20-30 years. Penny-wise, pound-foolish.
Well, unless it was *drastically* cheaper...time will tell...
Actually, Jake's trip to Pandora was to pay for this procedure (basically). Pandora was a mining facility (basically).

(snark, snark...)
There's "farms" and then there's "killing floors."
Where do you think these damning videos are being filmed at?

Mongol empire. That was Kubli Khan and his forces that were repelled by the kamikaze.
No one has a monopoly on repression in that region. Ebbs, flows, pendulum swings.
