With an unemployment rate of anything greater than zero some could argue we still have work to do to in our own backyard before we lend a hand to the neighbors.
Trust me friend, there are countries that have zero unemployment and you do not want to live in one.
Jesus Christ. AGW is based on scientific observations, not on some elite trying to take over the world.
Brother, you might as well be arguing about Italian neo-realist films of the 1950s with my cat. You're never going to make any headway and it just annoys the cat.
Clapper went on to tell the old joke about the old national intelligence director and the young national intelligence director. The young ones says, "Hey, look at that bunch of Americans down there. Let's run down and spy on that one."
The old national intelligence director replied, "No son, let's walk down and spy on them all.
Now it's time for the rest of the country to catch up. Could you imagine some city in Alabama doing this?
In Alabama, they think using the sun to make electricity is the devil's work.
You put a solar panel on your house down there and they burn you at the stake. Unless you can provide them with a black guy to burn in your place. They will accept that substitution.
I hope those SJWs in San Francisco realize that all those solar panels will contribute to the Sun burning out sooner. There's already not enough sunlight to go around. Just ask Greenland.
Also, Prime video itself IS garbage. They claim they've got all these shows, but only a subset are actually included for free - generally the first few episodes.
I didn't know that. I was thinking about getting Prime mainly because I'd like to see The Americans and Man in the High Castle, which are not on Netflix.
Do you know if Amazon "rotates" their streaming offerings the way Netflix does? I've noticed that sometimes a movie is on Netflix and then it's not and then occasionally it comes back.
We were Prime customers a few years ago, before my daughter left for grad school. It saved us money because she was always ordering stuff and the shipping costs were killing us. Once we saw our online ordering drop, we dropped Prime. That was before video streaming, of course.
Rory Buchanan (in the modern rock style), Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Doc Watson
Those guys were dead at the time of the alleged quote. And of course, if you want to go across styles, you could list Jim Hall, Bill Frisell, John Abercrombie, and a few dozen young players like Julian Lage.
The "While My Guitar" performance was clearly meant to be a shredding display because of the iconic meaning the song has taken on (and because of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame venue). Also, it was a tribute to George Harrison.
While there are lots and lots of rock guitarists who can play as well or better than Prince, very few can manage to look as cool while doing it.
In city and suburban areas, it can cost $100M to over $1B per *mile* of track for trains/trams/subways.
Except there were already successful (and profitable) trolley systems in the 50 largest US cities before GM and the oil industry exerted their influence to have them torn up and replaced by GM buses running on diesel. And existing rails are cheaper to maintain than roads.
Thanks for the link to that video. Never really got into Prince that much, and certainly did not recognize his talent with a guitar. Until now. That performance gave me chills.
You might also want to look at his live performance at the 2007 Super Bowl. That was the last one, by the way, that did not use any pre-recorded tracks.
As Prince like to say, "When I go on stage, my mike is ON. I'm live, not memorex."
He was nothing but a talentless hack with a major identity crisis.
Eric Clapton was once asked how it felt to be the world's greatest guitarist. His response: "I don't know. Ask Prince."
If anything, Prince was the opposite of someone with a "major identity crisis". He knew exactly who he was and did not give one single fuck if you didn't like it. Watch his solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps from his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and tell me if you think he looks like someone who has an identity crisis.
He strolls onstage in the middle of the song, at about 3:25 in the video. And all the other rock stars on stage just give him room and watch with their mouths open. He ends his Citizen Kane of guitar solos by doing the guitar equivalent of a mic drop, except instead of dropping the guitar he sort of just flips it up to air and pimp-walks off the stage like he owns the motherfucker. My guess is the guitar ascended directly into heaven, because it knew it could never top that moment.
That my friends, is how a rock star makes an entrance and an exit.
Prince was the ultimate musical nerd. He not only could play every instrument on his records, but could do all of it better than most people who play those instruments. He was five foot goddamn four inches tall and still managed to be the Jesus of scoring hot babes.
Bruce, the article in the Economist is an editorial. It also doesn't say anything at all about what's working and not working at the moment. If you read it through carefully, it just points to a lot of examples that are nothing like an actual guaranteed basic income.
Whales are about as smart as pigs and have been eaten in many cultures.
The guy who asserted that whales were as smart as humans was on LSD at the time. He spent the rest of his life tripping balls and trying to teach dolphins to talk...Good work if you can get it.
We now have Functional MRI that tells us the extra grey matter in whales is for sonar processing. Large brain mystery is solved. They are as smart as pigs.
No. If only you were as smart as you think you are. John C Lilly is far from the most recent research into whale intelligence.

And thank God, here in America they don't have to.
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that this Paris climate deal will not sit well with Anonymous Cowards on Slashdot.
No sir, they're not going to like it one little bit.

Wait a minute, I can get drugs and alcohol on Amazon with a Prime membership? Now you're talking.
It's Friday afternoon. You think I could get a 12-pack of Tequiza and an eight-ball of coke delivered by 5pm?
I didn't know that. I was thinking about getting Prime mainly because I'd like to see The Americans and Man in the High Castle, which are not on Netflix.

I said "trolley". There is a difference.
I'm curious, Is offering an opinion on things you don't know about something you often do?
"How do you like spaghetti?"
"I've never eaten it, but it sucks."

Trolleys, my friend. They're buses before Rockefeller and GM convinced cities to give up their electric fleets for polluting vehicles.

Yes, it's called a "train".
There have been self-driving mass-transit vehicles in service for a decade.

Can someone tell me which veggies will contain the most oxycontin? Asking for a friend.
Please God, don't let it be brussels sprouts. They give me wicked gas.
I think you mean, "she".
