I'd order the 'Ghost world' (2001) version of Ms Johansson. When robot girlfriends become a reality, not only will men choose celebrity lookalikes (see 'Futurama', 'I, dated a robot'.), but teen-aged celebrities.
I don't want to read the article, because it might be something lame, but I like to think I live in a universe where there is such a thing as a Scarlett Johansson robot. Does anyone know if they're selling them yet? Asking for a friend.
Every year, there are still a handful of incoming freshmen who are under 18. Back in my day, there were usually more. I was one. My last research assistant before I retired was 19 when she worked for me and 16 when she was admitted.
If boiling water can't get the job done, call a fucking plumber already. 10-20 minutes with a snake of whatever size is needed and $50-100, and you can get on with your life.
You can buy a plumber's snake for $25. It takes just a few minutes to use. Calling a plumber every time your drain is clogged isn't practical. Maybe my view is different because I'm a homeowner.
The point is, don't use drain cleaner. Half the time it doesn't do anything but make the problem worse.
No, in the study that distinction is completely ignored. They asked the people if they noticed the typos and mistakes, so the result is that people who notice such things are assholes.
Is that what the studies about? How stupid. As someone who's probably graded 20,000 papers in his professional life, I can't help but notice spelling and grammar.
As I used to tell my students, first learn to get the spelling and grammar correct consistently. Once you've proven you can do that, you can do whatever the fuck you please.
Not at all. The only way the slave colonies were going to ratify was if their slave patrols would be preserved.
The quotes in your link were just trying to justify what was already a hot topic in pre-ratification days. Remember, Slavery had been going on for over a century at the time the Constitution institutionalized it as a part of our civic life. All the founding fathers knew it was wrong, but they had to find a way to rationalize it. All the trappings of slavery were also wrong, but again, they had to find a way to rationalize it, or there would be no United States. We are a nation that was born as a slave state. It is our national original sin, if you will.
Now, it would be nice if Amazon banned usb cables that don't actually allow you to charge or connect your Android device to your computer. I've bought so many bum cables on Amazon, it's not funny.
Actually gun control in the US was started by Democrats who were afraid that freed blacks in South Carolina were going to get guns.
And the Second Amendment was started by people who wanted to protect the "slave patrols" that would hunt down escaped slaves and bring them back at gunpoint, or kill them. The "right to bear arms" is an artifact of slavery on both ends. And it remains so today.
In fact, if you read the transcripts from the state conventions to ratify the Constitution, you will see that this is spelled out quite clearly. The only reason we have a Second Amendment today is because slaveowners didn't want to give up their private armies.
Bullshit. Who care what you die from if you're dead. If you own a gun, are you more or less likely to die from any cause is what matters. Life expectancy is the right measure.
Intelligent people also have longer life expectancy, so I hope you stay current with those insurance payments. You could go any day.

I prefer the slightly more grown up Scarlett:

University of Chicago is a little different. They admitted a student in 2003 who was 12 years old, who went on to get his PhD at 18 and his MD at 21.

I was in university at 17, and there were several freshmen 16 years old (University of Chicago).
Who is going to trust an adblocker from Microsoft?

I could win Lotto and have a threesome with two Victoria's Secret supermodels by 2020.
Who's to say?
My wife could have told you that and saved the cost of the study.
I left that as an Easter Egg for you.
I doubt there's a single reader of Slashdot (and certainly no commenters) who is not a type A asshole.
You should have put the word "or" in quotes.
Riddler, is that you?

Spelling and grammar are just social constructs. I do not bend to the will of others in this regard.
Why would you capitalize both federal and grant? You stupid, stupid person, you.
Do you believe they didn't have the ability "on hand"? Of course they did.
Stop pretending the FBI didn't already have the crack before they brought Apple to court. They were just looking for a legal precedent.
Second, stop pretending that Apple doesn't know how to crack your phone. This entire story was nothing but theater.

I think you may have that backwards. At least in the case of the US, the oil industry isn't state run. The state is run by the oil industry.
I have a business relationship with those scumbags, so I get a Prime membership. That's the only reason I mess with them at all.
Yeah, that's what I've started to do. Anker products are pretty nice and reasonable.
