This. I've got one episode to go, and it's a good, nasty Western. My wife votes for Red Oaks and Mozart in the Jungle. Both of us also liked Errol Morris' Wormwood.
That should be US and Canadian military command. You'd have a pretty hard time protecting all of North America without Canada's vigilance in the North, you know.
You can see from this photo that Canadian military command means business:
Is existing medical testing simply bogged down by non-technical reasons e.g. insane bureaucracy, paperwork tsunamis, etc?
It doesn't appear so. Quest Diagnostics, for example, seems to have a pretty well-automated, paper-free environment, and definitely more clinical workers than bureaucrats.
You have to admit, you see a lot of anger towards solar energy in Slashdot comments. No matter what the story's about, if it has the words "solar energy" in it, there will be Slashdotters who are mad.
I don't think we need a study to tell us that rich people are some of the most awful human beings on the planet. I mean, even the bible says that rich people suck ass.
Heck there's entire books describing how China builds almost entire cities that end up as virtual ghost towns: https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-C... [amazon.com]
And by the say, that Donald Trump book has five stars and your book about how those stupid, stupid Chinese don't know high-school physics only has four stars, so checkmate.
Silly Chinese. If they'd only read Slashdot comments, they'd know that solar power is unpossible and they'd go back to scrubbing coal clean like the US and get their jobs back and be great again. I mean, it's not like the Chinese have ever been any good at big public works projects, anyway.
Those rates assume 2000KWh of energy use/month - which is 6 months of my power usage in California since the climate is mild enough to need little heating or cooling.
I haven't turned on heat or A/C since I've been here. Tonight's supposed to get chilly though, so I might relent. My utilities for the year project to be less than 20% of that in Houston, where you need A/C 10 months out of the year. Hell, the new houses going up in Houston don't even have windows that open.
The main difference though is that when I woke up in the morning in Houston, and I walked out the door, I was in Houston. When I walk out the door here, I'm in paradise. I do miss two things from Houston though: barbecue and Christmas tamales.
If you really left with no notice just because it was "satisfying" to you, you're a jerk.
It wasn't as bad as it sounds. It was the last day of the term and I was looking at a summer off. I had tenure and was getting paid a lot more than the people who they hired after me. They had three months to find someone and dozens of adjuncts who could have handled my classes, albeit without my unique flair. My last two advisees had just gotten their PhDs and there weren't any promising doctoral candidates in the pipeline. It was also my 50th birthday, so I thought, "Fuck it, let's light this candle."
"We are polite to others not because they are polite to us, but because we, ourselves, are gracious."
Oh, I was very polite about it. The day the grades were in I just felt like it was time. They weren't upset with me because they offered me an emeritus position. I went back as a fellow a few times after, and I remain close friends with my former dean and department head.
Average residential rate in California is 50% higher than in Texas.
That is not true. I just moved from Houston, Texas, the "energy corridor" to the Central Coast of California. I know it's not true because I have first-hand experience paying the bills in both places.
Gasoline is high at the pump, but electricity and natural gas don't work out to be much higher than in Houston. Plus, living here is worth every penny.
Also, food is more expensive in Houston - even meat, and property taxes are lower. Schools are better by a long shot, the air is cleaner, the streets are cleaner, the girls are prettier and there's surfing.
No, they really don't. Your "observations" are meaningless when we have actual statistics. Kids really aren't using Facebook, they're going to other social media.
These days I just don't watch any programming that has ads - I watch content either on Netflix, Prime Video (now that they have an AppleTV app), Starz, HBO Go, or purchase seasons of some shows on iTunes. I cannot even watch YouTube much the commercials are so grating now.
I've noticed that on the rare occasion I do see a commercial come up, it's really jarring. When I watch a basketball game or something it's like I don't even know how to act any more. I'm unable to just sit through them. Anyway, all the commercials now seem to be stuff for people who are really old or have some disease.
Regarding YouTube and commercials, I don't know if you're a big music fan or not, but I signed up for Google Play music when an update to Spotify made the interface wonky, and a subscription to YouTube Red comes included, so I never see an ad on YouTube. I write a music blog and embed a lot of YouTube videos and sometimes I forget that most of my readers don't get the same ad-free experience.
Wow you people sound bitter. What kind of terrible jobs do you have that you hate everyone there so much?
I was a university professor. I had the easiest job in the world, but work is work, you know? No matter what your job is, if it's a job, it's best not to romanticize it as something more. I think that's why many people have trouble adjusting to retirement - because they let themselves believe that their job was somehow an extension of their family or community.

There are legitimate reasons to disagree with the President on certain policy issues, but you must admit, his hair is magnificent.

Slashdot becomes a magical place at Christmas.
It doesn't appear so. Quest Diagnostics, for example, seems to have a pretty well-automated, paper-free environment, and definitely more clinical workers than bureaucrats.
No one would ever say that Juicero failed this year because they had a male CEO. Or that Equifax shat all over consumers because they had a male CEO.
Theranos' failure, as you say, was based on hype and deception. It was not because the CEO lacked a penis.
So you finally admit that we have lots of ignorant racist bumpkins?

I have played Kerbal Space Program. Please let me do it.

Before Donald Trump was elected, I might have argued with you about that. Now I'm not so sure.

Jingles are kind of thing of the past. Now, commercials just use some 80s rock song.

Kids don't use facebook, grandpa.
Oh, my god. "Siloed thinking" really is a thing. I refuse to google "fog computing" until I've had a few cocktails.
Don't tell me, tell this creepy SOB:

In case you're not from the US, the person in that picture holding the dead elephant's severed tail is Donald Trump, Jr.

Also, he left out, "data-driven" and "cloud".
