Towels, and lots of other fabrics, are washed in a lot of chemicals before being sold - this is done to make them more attractive. Pro-tip: Thoroughly wash them before use!
Based on your post, I think what you're looking for is "Proportional Representation" - issue with that is that due to how News work, it quickly descends into 2-party thinking, even when you have 10 parties.
Just thinking, if a decent-size quad-copter can deliver say 100ml of mustard gas, it may be completely harmless in and off itself; when news spread that mustard gas made it anywhere near the white house in any amount....
Considering recent studies show that cancer is more likely to be caused by genetics than smoking..
Link please.
I saw a study about a set of cancers, where genetics were shown to have same or more influence than environment, but that study specifically excluded certain types of cancer, including lung cancers.
No, not saying you're full of bullshit, just saying that you should back your statement up.
I just tried Beyond Earth (free on Steam - wuhu). Seems smooth, but manages to be more glitchy than Civ5 - has several of the same issues, but throws in a few extra (incl being not-stable).
Overall: Good game, shame they forgot to fix things.
Best I can tell, based on US Pro-Republican/Anti-Obama images I'm receiving online, the Saudis have absolutely nothing to do with the drop in oil-prices; it is all due to the Republicans being elected into Congress and having changed all laws to be pro-US instead of pro-Islam.
I've "lost" my programming teacher during a verbal exam, and she gave me a lower grade on a written assignment since I came to a different (but valid!) solution than she did (there wasn't specified what type of solution was needed, only the problem), but where it got really bad, was when the following semester she presented stuff right out of my team's project-paper from the previous semester... without even acknowledging it being an almost-direct rip-off. Took it to the principal/head of the school, who wouldn't even look at the paper before declaring that of cause she wouldn't do that.
Closing on almost 2 decades later, I hear that she is still there, and still incompetent.
Yeah, abstraction-layer, that hides the "ugly bits" of each manufacturer's implementation is very much required - I opted to "roll my own", writing a Qt5-based library that detects various (networked) products through manufacturer-specific protocols, and then presents a standard interface for each type of device (e.g. "Smart Light" interface to "LIFX Light", "Hue Light", "Holi Light" etc...)
2 "small" issues is finding time to write support for each protocol, and getting support (products, specs) from each manufacturer
I have a mate, who seems to enjoy fixing things. As a result, the value in fixing stuff, for him, includes that enjoyment, and it is suddenly worth it. For me, on the other hand, I find that I have little interest in the act of trying to take stuff apart, fixing it and reassembling it, and my time is "better" spent elsewhere.
This naturally means I'm more likely to throw things out than he is, and I'm part of this "lost generation".
Note: I've trained for both electricals and electronics in school, I have the base knowledge required for fixing many types of things (if not the hands for it).
Even when signed in, I could not play any games, due to a too-tight reliance on PSN's services.
"Any" games? Or just multiplayer ones, because single player games and single-player modes worked just fine. I played Diablo UEE on the PS4 during some of the outage, it defaulted to LAN mode when it couldn't reach PSN.
Sorry, I was less-than-clear in that statement: I could not play any ONLINE games(*) due to [..] PSN - see previous sentence pointing to PSN being a single-point-of-failure specifically for online games(*).
*: online-only; I do not have any online-games for PS4, where a single-player component can be played offline, though I do have a game where the single-player component requires PSN access (Destiny)
The estimated costs (estimated by others) for the PS+ extension, is ca 5 mill USD. Add in the cost of the 10% discount. Question is now, does this cost more, or less, than implementing a design where a (regional?) PSN server-set is not a single-point-of-failure for every online game?

Netflix is obligated to do this to maintain its licensing agreements with the Media Mafia.
Yeah, I understand that. What I don't understand is why the big media conglomerates put such baffling restrictions into their licenses in the first place. Is it to comply with licensing agreements that they made? Is it truly idiotic licensing all the way down?
Tradition - this is how content has been licensed for decades, and since it worked in the past, it has to work in the future no matter the level of shoe-horning required.
Content was/is licensed per distribution: * country * distribution method (Satellite, Cable, OTA...) This way, content could be licensed to a cable-TV based channel AND a satellite based channel in the same country. The lines have been blurring in the last decade, but the content distributors are trying their darnest to keep the old model, even if it means they are loosing money to "pirates".

Wouldn't know - haven't really gotten it to work.

Then you shouldn't have voted for Obama!

If it stopped working, there could be a sudden influx of machines/devices being returned to stores.
The hardware in this case appears fairly average.
As an owner of a Samsung BluRay player, I can confirm the Software part of the above statement.

Gold-pressed Lathinum!
Worked for me - don't know if it is still collecting data, but I did untick the checkbox.
I just installed the Origin client - it specifically asked for permissions to collect statistics during the install process.

AM and PM mean "anti-meridian" and "post-meridian", and at noon on the day of the summer solstice, the sun should sit on the celestial meridian.
Easier to remember as After Midnight and Pefore Midnight :)
"If Logsdon is correct, static NASA funding will mean that beyond low Earth orbit human space exploration will remain an unrealistic aspiration."
So the only option for anything human beyond LEO is NASA? Chinese not able to ever, ever do it? Russians? India? Europe?
In India, people with severe facial deformities are often revered as profits
Not sure if typo ...

I like my coffee mug not knocked over, and to not whack my love in the face because I didn't see her.
If your love doesn't notice the big black box strapped across your face, perhaps a whack or 2 will help her pay a bit of attention to you?
