I don't even like her, but I will vote for her just to keep a Republican out of the white house.
This is why we need Instant-runoff voting. It's the same for both sides, there's usually a third-party candidate for either side who is more practical politically, but doesn't have enough corporate sponsors to really run in the race--to stand a chance.
It's a medium.com article. Every medium.com article I've ever seen has been something along the lines of "Wow! The mundane is super interesting when you make the background image change as people scroll!" Oddly enough, this article is the first I've seen to just use a header image then stick to mostly (centered) text.
I have family in Minnesota, you can't get good anything up there. It's like the entire region decided their cuisine is going to be "meat and potatoes" and damned if you're going to put any seasoning (or sauce) on your meat.
What part of the entire state of MN does your family live in? Since this article mostly refers to the metro area of Mpls/St. Paul, I can safely call bullshit on your anecdote. I live a few blocks from a stretch of Minneapolis aptly named "Eat Street" and I literally could not swing a cat without hitting a restaurant/eatery/gastro pub (whatever the place calls itself...) that proved you wrong. That said, I have family out in Glencoe, MN and the ffod choices out there do tend to fall into the bland meat & potatoes category. But even Glencoe has a good Chinese restaurant that does more than sweet and sour and an awesome Mexican food truck.
You'll have to elaborate if you want anyone to see your point. There's very few people who are both literary and masochistic enough to have read Atlas Shrugged (or anything by Ayn Rand).
Why should humans subject their prey to this idiocy when wolves and lions etc. do not? You want animals to have equal rights as humans? Then they would need to pay taxes and be subject to our laws about not shitting in public and killing each other. Get a grip on reality, seriously.
As an AC pointed out Snowden's raw leaks being made public didn't stop reporters from selling stories on that information. I'm just calling bullshit on this idea that FOIA requests being published publicly automatically...will somehow hurt any reporter's story. If they're worried about another reporter poaching the info and publishing before them, they need to be better at their job. Have all the background written up and ready to go by the time the FOIA is being filed, then pull an all-nighter to finish the story when it comes out. Simple.
Guess this means those those journalists didn't really care about exposing the corruption/injustice/what have you in their story as much as they like getting the credit and praise for doing the exposing. This is why i don't like Vice; they can do a really good job of reporting and exposing bad people to be sure, but they rarely bother to offer up a solution or shy away from making simple poverty porn for more page views.
Never posted to leddit, aside from occasionally getting linked to a thread. And I sincerely doubt you were following the (derailed) topic if you're calling the people I was replying to SJWs anyways. Maybe get some sort of grasp of the English language and what the words you're using mean before you post? Just a thought.
I think (maybe) AC was referring to a different device that calls itself a jetpack but only works on water: http://www.jetpackamerica.com/. All that's certain is we need to get the term 'jet' off of these devices.
Same company promised it'd be ready all ready. If it works and does go to market, good someone finally succeeded in making a jetpack. Until then, it's just a small-minded person's flying car pipe dream.
"Historically" is a funny word to use in that context. In fact, it's purposefully misleading. "Historically" generally refers to times when humans were around, but you're talking hundreds of millions of years ago. The Earth was still forming, humans--primates-- hadn't even evolved. So why would that be our baseline for the historical norm? It isn't.
It's the first Hall of Fame ceremony of this type. It has a long way to go to get to all worthy recipients. Too bad they inducted WoW off the bat. It may be worthy but they should have prioritized chronology.
Magazines and newspapers have ads so they can remain dirt cheap (which they need to do to ensure high viewership [of the ads...]). Also, those ads don't block the actual content, you just flip the page. Movie trailers (previews) are totally fine, and part of the movie-going experience. I do think car commercials and the like played on the big screen before a film is bullshit and one of the reasons I don't go as often as I used to. Commercials between T.V. shows is another fact of life, but not on HBO or Showtime etc. That's what this is most like, but right now since it's just previews for Netflix originals it's not much worse than HBO previewing their other shows for 20seconds before streaming on HBO GO*.
*which is actually really stupid. I'm going to watch all of your new shows when you release them, that's why I fucking subscribe!
I really can't wait until we get a new president. Then it will everyone bitching about the next one will get told to blame Obama, and then people will counter that blaming Obama is old and tired but the new president is somehow worse for not being radically different.
You know what I really honestly and non-sarcastically can't wait for? The day when you idiots stop voting these people into power. As long as the race for presidency--as long as most every political race at every level in this country-- is between a Democrat or a Republican, that will never happen.

Yea, I don't see why this is a problem, anymore than any other thing in physics today.
I think what they're trying to say is: "Black Holes Matter".

Should the gov't be saving money by making people feel unsafe?
No. However, given the numerous ways governments routinely make people feel unsafe, there's a silver lining in that this one saved money.
The summary got the geometry right, forgot to mention Tim Cook has started moonwalking everywhere.

News media requesters, however, are entitled to a reduced assessment only when the request is for the purpose of disseminating information.
and
VII. Fees There is no initial fee required to submit a FOIA request; in fact, in the majority of requests made to DOJ, no fees are ever charged. The FOIA does provide for the charging of certain types of fees in some instances. For purposes of fee assessment only, the FOIA divides requesters into three categories. The first category includes commercial-use requesters, [...] The second category includes educational or noncommercial scientific institutions and representatives of the news media, who are charged only for duplication fees, and who are provided the first one hundred requested pages free of charge

I really need to invest in wax futures. You libertarians sure seems to use a lot of it on the crosses you put yourselves on.

Like a T-Shirt cannon, but shoots medium-sized espresso drinks at people? Genius! By jove, AC, you've done it again.

That's the funniest nerd burn I've seen off of Silicon Valley in months.

Did anyone NOT think it was the FBI?
I would've guessed NSA first. Actually FBI would be my fourth, after DEA and DHS.

Yeah...walked right into that one. Can't leave stuff like that hanging, AC's always gonna dog it.
