American Cheese is a style of cheese. It is mostly made from vegetable oil; it isn't really real cheese. They're allowed to call it 100% cheese if they have some minimum percentage of milk.
There is no style of product called American Chocolate. American chocolate is just chocolate made in America.
Anybody who bakes with chocolate buys "baking chocolate," which is 100% pure chocolate. It tastes different depending on the grade of cacao used, but not based on where it is made. And if you use this and eat it frequently, you do know what chocolate tastes like.
The local stores have chocolate bars from 35% to 85% chocolate. A 65% chocolate bar made in Portland tastes the same as a 65% one made in Amsterdam.
The stuff you're eating isn't chocolate. It is "chocolate flavored."
If you think American Cheese is good in a grilled cheese, go to Trader Joes and buy some Cotswald. Don't mind the price per pound, just buy it one time and see what I mean.
You'll probably fall off your chair crying once you realize how good a grilled cheese is supposed to taste.
Try to understand, the people in the video are still called "reporters," but their job is also know as a "news reader." Other people do the research and write the stories.
The actor doesn't understand that story. That's OK. It is also why I don't watch news, I read it; the transcript is more authoritative than whatever the actor accidentally said.
Most of that is pizza-gate level of stupid, but I just wanted to point out that you're whining and blaming Hillary for Russia apparently having bribed Russia to approve some sort of deal.
That's exceptionally stupid, and totally self-contained; even if you refuse to look up a fact-check on the rest of it, that part isn't even self-consistent.
If one Russian bribes another Russian to buy him a Big Mac, the restaurant didn't do anything wrong.
(All but 2 uranium mines owned by Uranium One are in Kazakhstan. One is in the US but is conserved so doesn't matter. Another is in Africa. The reason that the US pushed Russia to buy it is because Russia has powers on the ground in Kazakhstan, and it was strongly desired that it be owned by a nuclear power who would have motivation to keep the mines secure. Western owners wouldn't have the local powers to do that successfully, it had to be Russia.)
Before we saved Kosova from Serbia, he claimed we were going to build an oil pipeline from Turkey over the mountains(!!!) through former Yugoslavia into western Europe.
Same thing at the start of the war in Afghanistan; he predicted it was all about a pipeline.
He is the "father of linguistic" in the same sense that Freud is the Father of Psychology; he started a field before his theories had to be discarded.
But he was never a reasonable political geographer at all. He only has eyes for oil. He has no sense of perspective, or knowledge of other externalities or sources of corruption. He lies ten times per paragraph.
LG makes nice ones in that range. But no headphone jack. (They use a standard 4 wire connector inside to connect the speakers, so it is easy to add a jack)
The 3.5mm plug in the back is for wired remote control.
A lot of people aren't understanding that the "dumb TV" is a business screen, and the "smart TV" is a cheapo consumer screen for people who don't mind being spied on.
There is not generally a reason to presume that cheap consumer stuff has high build quality. But they're somehow confused and don't realize they're buying the lower grade product.
They also usually have 3.5mm jacks on the back that are actually UART serial remote control interfaces.
I'm not convinced they can increase the price of the business screens ("dumb TVs") just to force their sales down. They might to actually lower the prices of the smart TV to get more people to buy them if it is a concern. But even here, it doesn't sound like it is. Only a small percentage of non-business users are smart People.
They don't, it is a single chipset that is cheap. Lots of stuff has it. It gives them enough bandwidth to phone home a batch of hashes a couple times a day.
Are you really sure it isn't worth $10 for them to have your address, and reports about how you use the device, and a map of your wifi SSIDs? They can measure a lot of things passively.
Wow, you really didn't know about this stuff? That they have cheap plans for manufacturers, and special low-bandwidth chipsets that deal with the concerns you're fretting over?
Of course this is all bogus -- it takes up "zero" user space since it's kept in ROM space, and that's of course why it's unable to be deleted. (Unless you root.)
You seem really confused about the technical details. If it can't be deleted because it in "ROM" space, you wouldn't be able to delete it at all ever, including if you root, including even if you unlocked the bootloader and installed a new OS.
The reality is that there is no ROM at all; the flash storage, which is read/write, is colloquially referred to as "ROM" when discussing certain types of binary images. But it isn't actually ROM, and therefore "because it is kept in ROM" won't actually be an answer to anything on a smart phone, ever. And if it was, how would you update?!
I'm not sure how they manage to get from "Looking more closely, neither Amazon, Apple nor Google has really introduced any new products themselves," all the way to "steal the show."
Or, to rephrase the entire story, "Burble burble burble PROMO burble burble CONSUME burble burble.fnord"
Bullshit, your words are not even responsive to mine. You just filled in your stereotypes about what somebody who disagrees with you probably thinks, and got half of it wrong. What idiot would read my words about and say that I'm trying to "hand waive away the problems in some academic fields?" A person who can read would understand that was excoriating them for having such deep problems, and problems that were solved historically by their own purported Heros.
Go away and take your stupid teams and stereotypes with you. You can't comprehend words.
Carving out part of the field of Philosophy to be taught in the School of Business merely shrinks the field further!
It isn't as if handing out PhDs to other fields increased the clout of Philosophy! The list of fields that grant those degrees is just a list of fields that used to be part of Philosophy, but were taken away. Same here.
At his time of death his work was legal in the eyes of the empire, granted.
But that only means that he was a Privateer for the baddies instead of a Pirate; it doesn't mean he wasn't a "professional kidnapper."
Historically when such actions were legal, a person would still be "kidnapped" and "held hostage" until a "ransom" was paid!
But like any Privateer, his work takes him outside the jurisdiction of the people granting his license, and the actions are often not legal in the jurisdiction they're actually operating in. So the ethics are still a bit fraught, even with a license.
GPS is receive-only, you don't transmit anything, so that much is reasonable.
Dead reckoning takes a long time to program, and has to be tuned for each device. GPS you only have to do standard GIS transformations, and the rest of the hardware is irrelevant.
Dead reckoning you give up the first time you try to operate it outdoors in a slight wind.
The total radio connection time is arming the flight controller at launch and then radio control to land.
OK, but you've already done this in public. The military monitors radio traffic. Operational information about your control system is already stored in databases, but it isn't parsed out or cross-referenced or anything. Yet.
If you turn into a terrorist trying to disrupt air traffic, you'll be even easier to catch that the guy using an off-the-shelf system.
Being more clever doesn't actually help the terrorist in this case; it simply shows a lot more planning and increases the prison sentence they'll get. It also helps them to stand out from all the morons who are obviously not clever enough to have done it.

We call it a "health food store."
That is where the real food is kept.
Including full-flavor cheeses, both domestic and import.
Some supermarkets do sell strong cheese, but it will be in separate section of expensive yuppie food.
That might not be a bad place to store it, either!

Chomsky was always fake news, though.

People qualified to place letters next to their names.
Why do you think it isn't?
Does that get punished before it happens, or after? What stage are current events at?
Has this corporation received a major monopoly smack-down in the past? If not, why would they even have internal processes to protect against it?
I don't see how this is even "blocking ads," it is merely "blocking google's competitors."
They're going to get sued for monopoly abuse in 12 countries for this.

Postmodernism can't take over. It is a deconstructive phase, a transition from the old modern to the new modern.
Your precious feelies are implicated because of your politics, not because of postmodernism.
