I am also interested in these "extreme cosmic events", but would like to know if there's going to be a cash bar and/or bottle service and any dress code. Last time I went to one of those things I got wasted on K and had the dry mouth and all they had was weird fruit juices and herbal teas.
Don't worry, if you're in the USA you can't afford this drug. It's for the rest of the world only, because we have the greatest system in the world that nobody can afford.
Even fucking Rand Paul goes to Canada for health care.
If I can get serious for just a moment, I believed that coming from a place of love and respect made for better student outcomes. I didn't teach STEM or anything, but I was considered a hard grader and expected a fair amount from students (especially grad students). When I was just a newly-minted lecturer, back in the '80s, I had a colleague tell me that it's important to be invested in the success of your students. You're not just pumping gas. That always stuck with me.
When corporations pay taxes, the cost is passed on to some combination of shareholders (lower dividends or less capital investment), customers (higher prices), and employees (lower wages).
No. There is no data that corporations pass on taxes to consumers or employees.
As for shareholders, they should be taxed twice: once when the corporation pays taxes and again when they sell their stock. The capital gains tax should be at least that of the highest tax bracket. There is no evidence that this would have any negative effect on investment or capitalization. The entire notion that "taxes on profits are passed on to...X" is a great lie that is used to excuse the worst excesses of capitalism.
This kind of stuff can only work in urban areas. Once you get out into the sticks, the latency gets to be too high.
I'm not in what you would call an urban area, yet I use cloud gaming almost every day. I've been beta-testing this nVidia GeForce Now service and it's pretty spectacular. Now, I'm in a college town, and I think there are GeForce Now servers not to far from me (I'm on Cali's Central Coast). I play shooters against people who are not using cloud gaming, and I'm not seeing any problem or scoring any lower than I do when I play on my more up-to-date gaming PC that meets recommended levels for current AAA games.
It is totally unreasonable for you to decline to drink a liquid that we say is your product, even if it is an industrial chemical produced and bottled on an assembly line that wasn't designed, cleaned or inspected for producing products intended for human consumption.
It depends entirely on whether I went around in previous interviews touting the fact that my product was safe enough to drink.
In that case, saying, "OK, let see you do it," is a reasonable request. Especially if the product is going to be used on a basic foodstuff that is in practically everything people eat.
The one I really liked was Rebus (now on Hulu). Also Shetland.
I don't know why Scottish accents make me so unbelievably happy. Even after so many viewings, I can watch Trainspotting and be entranced without even noticing the plot.
Though netflix seems pretty good at making horror content
If you like horror, brother you have to see this movie MANDY with NIc Cage. It's hard to find because it's on the Shudder network, but if you have Amazon prime, I'm betting you can figure out how to see it for free. It's good.
Inexplicably, it shows up on your preference list after a Shameless binge.
Exactly. "Because you watched Shameless, here's a movie about a depressed Norwegian policeman you'll love".
And don't confuse Borderliner with Bordertown, which is the story of a Finnish policeman who can only solve crimes when he takes his shoes and socks off. That one's actually pretty good. Borderliner, is mostly just grim in a place where there's barely any daylight and not a single person ever cracks a smile. And the "big city policeman who goes back to his remote home town to face his past and solve crimes" thing has been done to death for chrissake. Come up with something new.
Sometimes, I think all the EU countries are sending us all these horribly depressing shows because they're mad about Trump or something.
My recommendation list is full of crappy French movies. My wife is Chinese, so we frequently watch Chinese movies. So Netflix sees that, and figures we like foreign films, although we have never watched any film in a language other than English or Mandarin.
Same. Love the Chinese movies (or movies in Chinese) because I'm a big martial arts fan. But these multi-national productions are getting out of hand. You know, Spanish films shot in Croatia entirely in Romanian language. Even seeing the production company listings at the beginning get me depressed.
Clearly, Netflix hasn't been saving all my choices, because if they were, they wouldn't keep recommending that I watch shitty Norwegian police procedurals or bad stand-up comedy specials.
But wouldn't it make more sense to give the smart criminals extra jail time?
Yeah, you're probably right. But there should be some special penalty for stupidity, just as a general principle. And trying to run a scam on a guy that you googled but didn't notice he was a retired head of the FBI and CIA is a level of stupidity that qualifies for special treatment.
Actually it very much means that! If you know a law will be widely disobeyed, it should never be passed. It degrades respect for the rule of law, and punishes those that obey laws.
Don't be silly.
There are tens of thousands of murders every year. They happen in every state. So the law against murder is widely disobeyed.
Should we have laws against murder?
There are over 20 million speeding tickets given each year. Does this mean we shouldn't have no speed limits?
One in six children will be sexually abused before age 18. Does that mean there should not be laws against child sexual abuse?
Does it leave things so nebulous and undefined, nobody will know the actual rules until 200 million are spent on beltway law firms?
Again, no it does not. The millions those beltway law firms spent was in an effort to circumvent the rules, which will happen with any rules. Fuck them. The fact that people break rules (and laws) does not mean we should not have them. It just means they need to be enforced better.
If by "Net Neutrality" you mean I cannot pay for prioritization or some kinds of traffic, nor have free delivery of some rate listed video over mobile connections - then I, and millions of others, want no part of it thank you very much.
Don't pretend to speak for "millions of others". You can barely speak for yourself.
"Can you put a dog mode on the Tesla Model 3. "Where the music plays and the air conditioning is on, with a display on screen saying 'I'm fine my owner will be right back?'"
That's just silly. Everyone knows dogs can't read.

To be fair, it was tremendous morning wood.
Are you referring to the KFC gravy bowl?

Yes, I'm known for having a big heart.
Exactly. "Because you watched Shameless, here's a movie about a depressed Norwegian policeman you'll love".

Well, to be fair, I mentioned the awful Norwegian police procedurals as opposed to the fine Finnish police procedurals, which I love to watch.
Stay away from the Belgian police procedurals, which are awful.
But the best of all police procedurals are the Scottish or Northwest British police procedurals, because you get the great accents.
"Ah, he's deed, Angus. It looks like whichever coont kilt him was in the hoose."
Clearly, Netflix hasn't been saving all my choices, because if they were, they wouldn't keep recommending that I watch shitty Norwegian police procedurals or bad stand-up comedy specials.

I'm pretty sure that the extra two years was for being really really stupid.
Mr Cook, tear down this wall.

Yes, and unlike plastic straws, cocaine didn't tend to stick to the inside of paper straws.
Um, at least that's what I've heard. I think I read it in a book.
I'm not one to say I told you so, but...
