Ah man... When DVDs were a thing I used to share them amongst my fellow workers and I printed up a bunch of "Be Kind! Rewind." stickers and would stick them on the cases before loaning them out. I got a fairly high percentage of them back. A higher percentage than I got with books.
You know, we are just stacking someone's RSS list so they can aggregate them, put them into HTML format, and make money... We might as well give them just idiots who have blogs.
That is because you are a transsexual. No, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, I encourage you to feel good about yourself regardless. However, in this case, it is just the ad server doing what it does best. It shows you ads based on your buying past which includes a lot of very large ladies shoes.
They are different the minute you select a male or female gender. They are NOT the same. Do try to keep up.
You want a serious issue? Complain that women do not get as much time in jail as men do when they commit the same crime. Yes, you can search for and find studies to back this assertion up.
I will create an online persona, a great bio, and apply for jobs. I will put on my resume, "I will not work with niggers, kikes, spicks, or anyone named Chin. Or anyone from India, they smell bad."
(Note, I do not have an issue with any of them - I am even mixed racially and identify as black more often than not - it avoids confusion.)
Anyhow, if anyone hires me we can say there is systemic racism and sexism. If not then we can say that those companies are in the clear. Who's with me? I am headed to LinkedIn right now... (No, not really. I am far too lazy.)
Now, more recently, and pertaining to this conversation - think carefully. Do not stop at one sentence. Follow them all.
If you get stuck then ask for help.
The search algorithm does not queue ads based just on gender. It bases ads on what it is likely that you will seek based on your search terms AND gender.
Now this may be confusing for the mentally handicapped but Granpappy KGIII is going to help you out of your stupidity rut. I have a tow strap! Will travel.
So girl 1 searches for A B C D E then she gets Y ad results because girl 2 who ALSO (who was not a controlled experiment) searched for A B C D E and then searched for F G H I - and then Y results were deemed most appropriate. Girl 1 did not fit all the profiles in the database but fit enough to warrant showing Y ads.
Now, the above is complicated. It is not easy to explain a complicated thing to an idiot. If you are a female, and your posts indicate you are, and you like strawberry ice cream, cats, Jesus, and hardcore lesbian porn - and others with the same demographics did some (not all but maybe all) were into the color pink then it is only logical to first show you ads that feature pink items. Give them more information then you will find that they refine it further.
Also,
No, you know what? Nobody is able to breathe while being this stupid. There is no choice but for you to be a troll and/or willfully ignorant. I've yet to see you reply to anyone who showed you the flaw in your logic and you sure as shit won't have an acceptable reply to mine.
There is a CPanel option to disable hotlinking, even by individual folders, that changes the.htaccess. I wonder if your helpful tidbit made it into that code? Also, you bastard! (I never cared, bandwidth was already being paid for. I did switch images once to someone who was using it for eBay auctions. It was beautiful.)
That seems rather arbitrary and a lot like 'no fun.' I think you are just making the rules up as you go along. Do you have any suggestion that this is true beyond your mere say-so? Is there a guidebook? I pay taxes, tax breaks are given the the company that hires you, you have TW Cable, your fee (which did not change) goes towards this fine, and I am paying for the fine. Or, you know, the company that bought my business did. Or, I have stock in TW and enough to get a dividend, so TW paid their own fine via exponentially decreased factors. In other words, when you say the customer paid it is just shilling and moronic because they are not paying extra for this. Otherwise, once you start down that slope you do not get to arbitrarily stop it where it fits your narrative. Logic does not work that way!
Most (technically all) lawyers that I know, who work on contingency, take 1/3 or a pre-set dollar amount or even 1/3 after a pre-set amount or just 1/3 of a pre-set amount with no earnings over that et amount. I know none that take 2/3rds. I do not know all liars, only some liars. I am not a lawyer, I certainly am not your liar, and this does not constitute legal advice or an agreement between us. I have a strange amount of lawyer/liar friends. I would say that I am not sure how this happened but, really, I know exactly how this happened. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I believe they do pay it to the court and the court processes it and hands it to the victim. In fact, I am pretty sure of this for reasons I shall not delve into.
I read the headline and I was like, "So they got drunk after a nasty breakup too? I've had court cases like that!" Then I read the article. It was kind of a letdown really. Still, I kind of feel sorry for those people who happen to have the actual numbers that I used when I give out fake numbers.
I am an atheist. I am also a Buddhist. The two do not conflict at all. I am still waiting for a reply for my last visa application. I want to return to Nepal and spend some more time in refuge before my life is busy again. I am losing hope but there are alternatives.
All I can think of is that they heard it somewhere from somebody who misunderstood something someone else once said. It really dumbfounds me when it is a subject that I am fluent in. Sometimes, oddly, I doubt my own familiarity with the subject and will go research it. In this case I did not need to but I have felt the need to do so in others. There have been a couple of subjects, my Ph.D is in Applied Mathematics, where I can trace it to the source (or what appears to be the source) where somebody either did not know, made a mistake, was willfully negligent, or just failed to communicate well. I do not automatically assume it is malice unless I recognize the poster's name as being someone who has a history of this.
Even more disturbing is that some will claim to have a degree and then make statements that completely defy logic. The worst part is that they may well have that degree. The goals in academia have seemingly changed. Now that the thread is old and nobody will see it... I spent my first four years at GSU and my last four at MIT. Such a level of ignorance would *not* have been tolerated. The functionally illiterate posts indicate that things have changed in those regards as well - that would not have been tolerated. My own writing is barely the acceptable metric of what is passable. Yet we see STEM grads, here on this site, who can not communicate what they know and what they know is sometimes unacceptable. (Which is where I was going with this. The name dropping was to indicate the history, not for ePeen.) How these people got a degree is beyond me.
Given the content of the GP I am inclined to believe they have no degree. I expect a number of people, who also have no degree nor should be expected to, will accept that "fact" as valid and will trot it out the next time the subject arises. That's no way to run a society! Ah well... I suspect I am preaching to the choir.
The other reply is where I meant to post the above reply. And yes, a pot would be good. Strangely, that is the one thing I have never stuck into an outlet. When I was a young child (which is how this began) I would pull the plug partially out of the outlet and touch the prongs. I have stuffed things into outlets ever since.
My major is in another, related, field but I have a masters in EE from a very reputable institute of higher learning (reputable enough that I do not need my ego stroked but you know who and where they are, else you would not be[long] here on this site) and this rebuttal is a logical fallacy. This is an appeal to authority. I repeat, I am appealing your statement and expect to be assumed to be a more valid source of information because I *am* an authority on the subject. You are free to ignore this if you want. I promise to be easy and will take the time to explain what I think needs to be explained and I will strict to mostly layman's terms as it is not very complex.
Do, pray tell, provide some citation for this "massive drift and variability." First define it and then show it. Numbers, real world will do. Also make sure it is not at your end, clean power is a must. Just because you wired your home to save a few dollars does not mean there is massive fluctuation or variance in the power, it means you screwed up your wiring and/or bought really really crappy components. You will be fine even with moderately cheap wire and consumer-grade Square D. I actually have tested power in hotel rooms in other countries - even in Europe. I have never witnessed anything close to what you are saying. I welcome your numbers and await their arrival.
Seriously? What ever gave you that idea? Sure, it can fluctuate with bad power (there is such a thing). That is not the norm, it is the exception and is universally loathed and a major concern in any first world country. For the time being, first world countries includes the United States. Even a half-way decent generator is going to give you exactly the hertz you want.
Am I being trolled or...?
You are welcome to do some research. I've scoped my power on so many different sites that it makes me OCD. You do not need to look this up - you can take my word for it. The person who shared that information with you has no clue. It is so accurate that many clocks use those cycles to keep their time, electrical clocks like digital clocks obviously. The frequency *may* vary up to +/- 0.2hz where 0.1 is mostly considered not good and 0.2 being an emergency. You do not need any special equipment to keep these things on track. In fact, it is so good that we had these frequencies specified so that you can watch your sports on television. (I imagine a search for 'history power ac hz television PAL' will bring something up. I am not energetic enough to look, I am already wasting energy posting this. If you can not find anything I will search for you however. Please make a good faith effort first.)
You can scope it yourself. You do not even need to do so for a long time. You can use the Allen deviation to accurately project the results over a long term (square root of the Allen variance) if you want. Or, alternatively, you can accept my logical fallacy which is an appeal to authority. You do not need to do these things - I have done them for you already and yes, yes I *am* an expert. You are far more likely, even in a house with crappy wiring out on the end of the highway and with a mains breaker that is corroded beyond belief, to see a variance of 0.001 or *maybe* 0.01 hz. It is unlikely to see 0.1 and damned near impossible to see 0.2. They simply do not drift like that under normal circumstances.
Now if you want to check this out on your own then you can do so without investing in an oscilloscope. It is not *as* accurate but it is plenty accurate. Get a pair of headphones and snip off the headphones. Do a continuity check to find out which wires connect to which end of the jack. If you have a mic jack then just use that, if you do not then use a pair of headphones. Alternatively, head to RS (or similar) and get a jack, some speaker wire, and a couple of probes. Solder the mess together until you have something resembling a professional tool. Keep soldering, it is fun. Remove all your bad solders and solder it again. Done? Good. Plug the damned thing into your
This is high school physics. There is no friction in the gears, no friction at either end, and the gears are absolutely without fault.
Though, to be honest, even with some fudging (and there is lots of room for that) if one assumes slack is taken up before, call it pre-tensioning but I my engineering is electrical engineering and physics was so very long ago, then it *could* be fairly precise still. By no means perfect but pretty damned small with fairly decent controls. Also, this is high school physics. Two cars, each going sixty miles an hour in opposite directions, must collide at 120 MPH... *nods*
Now now... Your browser did not do it. You did it. Browsers do not do stuff on their own, generally. You slipped and hit the submit button, using the non-JavaScript submission, with your trackpad, didn't you?;-) You can admit it, we have all done it.
Just switch the fridge out for a keg. It will net the same number of viewers and possibly more. You could also try lifting up a pig and processing it into bacon. That might just win the entire internet.
You can not equate loss of freedom to financial harm. They are not equivocal. Not even if you try... This is why you can not (in theory, at least) buy your way out of prison. See Enron executives and others for examples of this.

Let's be fair. It probably was a pretty shitty job at first. It is not mucking out stables but even a call center employee has a more cushy job.
