Then which category would you refer incompetent staff I meet half of the time I visit a doctor? They can't answer questions they are supposed to answer.
Also the amount of bureaucracy is staggering. Why someone from the family now need to be present all the time during simple 10-minute knee surgery just because patient is having anesthesia?
All the moronic crap they invented in the last 10 years serves just one purpose - minimize potential litigation, not to make better service.
Health industry is just another industry where patient satisfaction, patient needs is secondary to bottom line - profit.
...yet the surgery instructions I received in the beginning of this month were partially handwritten. The amount of technological backwardness in health industry compared to everything else is shocking.
and phrases like "golden age", "everything" in the text don't help either. When people start talking like that, I am always tempted to remind them how incredibly redundant we are on all levels. How absurdly whimsical our demands are that drive the market. That is that if you consider only one big scale that there is: which is survival of human race.
Nothing is over until is over. Facebook grew up to the ability to sell shares. That's all that happened, nothing more. The fact that is the "biggest" in whatever sense they mean it, does not mean anything. We also had the most expensive ever artwork sold every year or five years.
Sorry, can't help it. I stuck with Verizon from God knows how many years, switched to my first data plan this year knowing that lucky first adopters had it unlimited and now this brings a sweet joy of satisfaction and sort of commie style equality: NOW we all are in this shit together.
> and an overwhelming abundance of insanely cheap food
Though it might be 10% of my "disposable income", but it's not 20% of my real "disposable" income (that is official disposable minus rent expense), which becomes around 50% of income minus all other bills and payments
One should measure everything in regards to savings, not income. Foe example in regards to 401K payments each month.
Yes, it's food. But why? Why do we eat McDonalnds? Because it's tasty, and it tasty because it has calories.
Thousands of years the most important part of food was calories: to chase wild animals, bend your back on plantation, fight enemies with swords, lift, carry, dig, stab, grasp, run, exert yourself in every possible way, and for all that we need plenty of calories, and we did not have enough most of the time. That's why calories taste the best: the more vegetable oil I put on the pan while making hash browns in the morning, the better they taste (up to the certain limit of course).
Now we don't need calories, but we are still addicted to it. Our stupid body still craves them.
It is very unreasonable to think that people will change in their food choices.
Now exercise: it's really stupid activity to do physical work for the sake of physical work, talk about Sisyphus. You either have to bring out your inner child capable of having a joy of moving around aimlessly spending all this energy or you have to be really determined on losing your weight.
So we have both options: cutting on tasty food and doing useless work that are doomed to fail on mass scale.
And we are doomed, the humans wall-e discovered ARE our future.
The only way to bring us back in shape is a technological reset that will create both lack of calories and necessity of hard physical labor. We will look like morlocks.
It's either fat eloy or skinny morlocks, there is no in between.
A restoration to a nation where slave-owning is standard practice, where only white male property owners have full citizenship rights? No thanks.
You don't have to do that. I merely suggested that rather than diminishing rights of the former slaveowners to the rights of their slaves, one should may be try to extend the rights of former slaveowners to their former slaves. Obviously, you would want to exclude from that the right to own a slave (you and many Americans)
Oh! Yes! Now I am getting it. You are exactly right. Those icons are completely undecipherable to me. I almost hear the ringing and feel the saliva build up in my mouth each time I am trying to navigate through the new app by pressing the buttons to see what happens.
Well, that was informative alright, yet not informative enough for me. What was his level of radioactivity and what is lawful limit for radioactivity in public place in that state?
>sufficiently radioactive to be detected from across the street
Detectability of action does not equal illegality of action. Being "detectable" should not be a reason for law enforcement to violate your right of moving freely.
Was the level of radioactivity above the level of radioactivity permitted by law in uncontrolled environment (for example, public space)?
No, that's not the story. They stopped him and asked him why the car was radioactive.
Did he do anything wrong that was noticeable by police? Was the radioactivity level above the standard of acceptable radioactivity level in a non-controlled environment?
You obviously do not care much about your freedom to move around, freedom of unobstructed use of your means of transportation within the limits of the law.
I made several points. They wouldn't fit into the format you are suggesting.
My comment was a propaganda comment, which necessitates rhetorical repetitions, metaphors and generally, adjectives. The intent of a necessarily long post like that is to grasp emotional attention of the reader, that is not by the content, but by the form, which I apparently failed to do.

I had the same surgery 10 years ago. Called a friend on the phone after surgery he picked me up.

Using non-used coffee grounds is waste, used coffee grounds smell terrible.
That's why I predict that this invention will fail. "Golden age" of robotic manipulators is over.

That should be a law analogous to the Godwin law, that says: if you say "What have you done, exactly?" you lose.
Lower than usual 100%

It's exercise. Most importantly personal cars. When I lived in NYC 15 years ago, I very rarely saw fat people on the street.
Seriously, sitting in the car is worse than sitting in the office.
One day we all eventually move to a megalopolis of 3B people and there will be no obese people.

So my Droid will look like Texas Instruments calculator? Awesome

That's my whole point: "potentially".

I think you are getting to the point I am making.
It's not about police should be allowed this and that. It's about our attitude.
Before government started to do that, we became complacent.
It's about what's in your head, not about random unjustified stops.

You are right, this is not a story about shooting, self-defense and Gitmo-sending.
This is a story about police stopping someone who did not do anything wrong, out of suspicion.

All my icons on my phone have also an app name. Just wait until a powerful marketeer will have a brilliant idea to remove them.
