iPhone is assembled in Taiwan. You know, the "other" China. Not the one with censorship. Also the Apple custom chips are made in Taiwan. Also known as the Republic of China.
The upper middle class became rich, and the poor didn't go anywhere.
Look at a chart with time on the X axis and income on the Y and you'll see. The middle class is shrinking because half the boats are rising. The gap between rich and poor is getting wider.
12 * $100 * 3 = $3600. But if you're a full time student, you better also go summer term or you won't get student loans. If you're going to move out of your dwelling every year and spend summers with mom, then no problem.
The Oregon Promise Grant is a great program, but it is not very close to free education.
People who aren't going to step on their audio equipment or roll over it with a music stool or accidentally yank on it don't need special speaker wire.
Even if Bose and Monster Cable are both overpriced, they're rarely purchased by the same customers. Bose mostly sells consumer audio equipment, you see very very little bose equipment in professional-quality studios, including home studios.
The main market for Monster brand cables is home studios. Professional studios tend to use more expensive wiring. Why? Durability. Monster is more about the hand of the rubber, and the quality of the plug end connection. More expensive cables give you the reliable plugs and also increased end to end durability. A small music studio might have $20k worth of just cords. Why? So that when shit doesn't work, it is never the cord.
Last summer I pulled a cheap phone plug out and the tip detached and stayed inside the socket! It was just a friction fit post.
A fake placebo effect is when the patient didn't believe that it was real medicine, and the doctor also didn't believe it was real medicine, but it was and it worked. So the effect would be considered a placebo, but it would be a fake placebo effect.
No, they don't use lamp cord because the expensive speaker wire is made of durable rubber that lasts 100 years and spreads the forces out to reduce damage when asshole musicians roll their stools back and forth across it, and step on it all day.
Everybody knows it sounds the same before you run over it.
Just like, everybody knows cheap headphone cords sound the same as expensive headphone cords; until the solder joint fails on the cheap one because instead of quality stress relief it just has a knot tied above the joint to make some slack.
Also, directional audio ethernet cables sound exactly the same as computer ethernet cables; if you're a moron who doesn't know about ground loops and didn't connect the right ends in the right places to maintain a single ground path for noise. Of course, people who did know how to connect the grounds and are looking at the noise floor on their mixer, they did notice the difference.
It isn't enough to know that the copper is the same purity in both; there are other differences.
And if you want your black tea to taste "peppery," you can ruin good tea too; just steep it a little too long, at too high a temperature.
If you wave your hands and insist they are not the same leaves, you can't also claim to have done the proposed taste test.
Your story isn't even self consistent, so of course it is bullshit and you just don't know what you're talking about.
Visit a tea shop sometime. You can get the exact same grade of leaf from the exact same farm loose in a can with a rubber seal, or in bags in the same can. Tea snobs have an extensive leaf grading system, they really do know if it is the same leaves.
As long as no one consciously attempts to exclude a group, there is no issue.
I assume you apply the same logic to everything else, not just this, right? If you forget about gravity, you can fly! Right?
Or does it not actually make any fucking difference at all if you did it consciously or unconsciously, if you actually did it? Your argument seems to be that since you refused to admit why you did it, you think people will refrain from even being able to see the problem. But that is some pretty weak Theory of Mind! Expect to always lose that argument, and if you have it at work, to be fired.
Here in Portland, OR, the local community college network charges $104 per credit.

If you want to be against social justice that is fine, but just don't whine about it being "unfair" when you get fired. Remember, you're against social justice, so don't complain.
Wait, no government regs? Who told you that? Not a lawyer, that's for sure.
I'm not a lawyer either, but I at least know that all currency is government-regulated, including private currencies. It is obvious if understand that the US only had private currencies at the beginning!
"The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) treats securities crimes committed with Bitcoin and VCs as money" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Anything you use as money is already currency and already regulated. If you don't like it, just buy a big truck and carry chickens around with you to barter for goods. Be advised you still have to calculate the dollar equivalents and pay taxes.
My understanding is that wild camels do not appear over the horizon in that way; they follow the natural contours of the land and you wouldn't see them from a distance at all unless you were on high ground.
And you're right that if you see a trading party you're much better off negotiating with the humans than with the camels. But you're unlikely to see the humans first. When you see them, you'll know it by their camels. The four wheel drive trucks are more likely bandits than traders, don't wave your gold in the air unless you see the camel!
No, this is about shifting your visual focus in the case where you didn't even have to move your eyes.
The research on recall shows quantization but not a pause.
With a mouse you have to identify the pointer, and also the target, you can't do anything with the mouse without a visual context switch. Using a command line you don't even need to be looking at the screen or have your eyes open if you're a good typist.

Right, right, but after having just "heard of it," it helps to also read the wiki page. Or like, take one fucking physiology class.
OTOH, if you ever learn how to operate real dictionaries, you'll also learn about the other meanings of the word.

While generally true, with experience you can get a fairly consistent grind with a cheap blade grinder by pulsing it just so.
If you just trim the last two words off though then it goes back to being true.
Just give it 5 minutes to settle, and pour carefully.
so people who can't/don't drink decaf aren't left out
Europeans do everything backwards.

You should see the crap Europeans eat! My friend visited Albania and took some pictures.
Notice the problem?
Uh, where I live we have tea shops where the snobs shop, and they definitely have expensive snobby teabags.

If they only said "college" it might not transfer, but they said "Community College" so it usually does.

It is basically unique in that regard. All other investments' value is either tied to political stability, or stuck to the ground.
You do realize that even things that are not as good as the best thing, can be better or worse than each other?
Is that actually a difficult concept?
