as a top ranking democrat, she keeps far more power and is impotent for the party
FTFY. She has presided over the loss of Democratic seats, and her leadership is part of the reason Democrats are not viable in large swaths of the country. Yet, she remains with the highest leadership position. She has power, for herself, and is not effective in helping her party with that power.
Targeting microtransactions (MT) at minors should be against the law.
Absolutely not. Parents/guardians should keep control over their credit/debit cards. Every platform that supports MT also supports parental control over purchases. We don't need laws to protect the cash of spineless adults. On the other end, if kids are working their ass off to pay for MT, awesome. Good work ethic. They'll eventually grow out of it, and will learn a lot about hard work and how easy it is to blow it.
Here is a key quote: "Studies like this open the door to hybrid treatment strategies that exploit the placebo effect to make real drugs safer and more effective. Cancer patients undergoing rounds of chemotherapy often suffer from debilitating nocebo effectsâ"such as anticipatory nauseaâ"conditioned by their past experiences with the drugs. A team of German researchers has shown that these associations can be unlearned through the administration of placebo, making chemo easier to bear."
The placebo effect is real but you don't design a medical system around it either.
Why not? If we can help some people without using drugs, why wouldn't we?
I get that the ethics of lying to a patient are complex, and skeptics likely are immune, but there is a large group of people we could be helping with placebos and I see no reason not to start there.
Exactly. It reminds me of people that saw GWB as simultaneously a complete dumbass yet responsible for rigging the election in his favor and conducting a false flag 9/11.
After Trump was likely going to win, Free Beacon stopped paying Fusion GPS for this research. The DNC then contracted Fusion GPS to continue doing the research.
Fusion GPS then hired Steele, and did not tell him who the client was.
That is a far cry from what you just said happened, and what that memo claims happened.
Man, I agree that Trump sucks and he is destroying the remaining credibility of the US government.
That said, THIS issue is one that can be completely non-partisan, or even non-Trump. He hasn't talked about it, and I'd like to discuss at least some issues that have nothing to do with him, Democrats or Republicans. Please let this be one so we can fix it.
I've talked to so many people that have already disabled emergency alerts simply because they were awoken in the middle of the night with a amber or silver alert.
Emergency alerts to phones need to be ONLY for things that require immediate action by the phone's owner regardless if awake or asleep.
Things like public awareness notices can be sent over SMS and the phone's built-in logic can decide if the user wants to get those in the middle of the night.
In my town, firemen go to almost every ambulance run. I have a radio scanner, and these guys are sent on runs all day and all night. My guess is: 30% fucking off 50% EMS runs 15% false alarm fire runs 5% actual fires
So, if you assume that actual fires are the only thing they do, then yeah, they spend 95% of the time doing something else.
However, I know many of them are doing other things during "fucking off" time, from visiting schools for safety training to inspections of businesses to keeping their gear in shape.
My family of 4 + 2 dogs used 5,000 gallons last month, or around 42 gallons per person, per day. That is squarely in the average usage for us, between 3,000 and 7,000 gallons high and low for the year.
Our WATER bill was under $12 US. Our sewer portion of the bill was $38 US.
In the Midwestern USA, we usually have too much water, and have to be mindful that often the water we use was recently in the sewer system of the city upstream from us.
Seriously, if Facebook is concerned about my well-being, then when I look at a news story, I want something from journalists, not uncle Joe's regurgitation of what he heard on Alex Jones.
The Washington Post has been far less harmful to my mental health than the shit my family and friends have shared and called "news".
Unfortunately, I got by battery replaced back when they still cost $79. I think that someone at Apple owes me a refund.
I don't know if you saw that bit, but they literally do owe you a refund. They've agreed to refund the difference for people that replaced the battery on a 6 or newer before the discount.
Competent DNS admins have been paying a whopping $15 bucks or so a year to go out and secure companydnsname-dev.com for a LONG time so that they're never bit with conflicts.

It may be easier figuring out how to live on Mars with 50,000 people that have been screened and selected, which a totally different form of government (likely totalitarian), than living on Earth with billions of people.

but it's not an option for us.
Where is that? What ZIP code, if you don't mind?
I'm just curious where we have gaps in OTA coverage in the USA.

Cool story.
Tell me more about your Internet use once you have 8 people streaming 4k video.

You must be fun to talk to.

Day Light Savings was put into place so that farmers children could help on the farm before heading off to school.
This is a myth that needs to die. I don't know why it keeps getting retold over and over again.
Farmers have generally either hated or ignored DST.
Exactly. It reminds me of people that saw GWB as simultaneously a complete dumbass yet responsible for rigging the election in his favor and conducting a false flag 9/11.
Steele was paid $160,000 by the DNC and the Clinton campaign to write that dossier.
Incorrect.
The dossier was started by the request of The Washington Free Beacon while Trump was a Republican Primary candidate. Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1...
After Trump was likely going to win, Free Beacon stopped paying Fusion GPS for this research. The DNC then contracted Fusion GPS to continue doing the research.
Fusion GPS then hired Steele, and did not tell him who the client was.
That is a far cry from what you just said happened, and what that memo claims happened.
Now that there's pretty solid evidence that the DNC basically used the DOJ to lie to the FISA courts as part of its campaign...
Where is that solid evidence? The memo didn't include that.

Despite multiple TOS violations, they've not disabled Donald Trump's account. That's hardly "far left".
The link says that they'll do 236 passengers. That isn't exactly half-empty, but it isn't 100% full, either.
My guess is that they'll do a larger business-class section, and it will look full based on available seats.
In my town, firemen go to almost every ambulance run. I have a radio scanner, and these guys are sent on runs all day and all night. My guess is:
30% fucking off
50% EMS runs

It must be nice to not be chronically ill or married to someone that it.
For those of is in one of those boats, non-group insurance is out of the question, at least in the USA.
This is one of the reasons I wish we would just do single payer healthcare. I'd love to be a contractor for all of the other reasons you described.
