When I was born up until grade school we were worried about global cooling.

No, we weren't. Only a tiny minority of scientists ever believed in that, and that idea was discredited and moved on from very rapidly because there was no supporting evidence.

In the 1970's, there were about 7 papers discussing global cooling and they all had 1 thing in common, CFCs. The concern was that the concentrations of CFCs in the air were altering the atmospheric albedo and thus reducing the amount of solar radiation hitting the ground. Phasing out the CDCs made the cooling issue moot.

guess they should have followed through on their promises to upgrade the irrigation ditches when they increased their allotments last time.

this would seem to incentivize "unplanned" shutdowns.

I'm sure nobody *cough*Enron*cough* would every do that! What a monstrous thought *PROFIT!!!*

So the commerce clause doesn't apply to interstate telecommunications businesses? That's a very interesting interpretation of the constitution. Please, do educate us on why a business that routes your information back and forth through, potentially, all 50 states and several other countries would be exempt from federal regulations.

so are you suggesting that the broadband companies should classified as utilities? Rather a different stance than normal for conservatives.

From the telcom companies that have been raking in billions in tax credits for the last 20+ years while failing to meet any of the targets for rolling out broadband?

I'm a field tech for a grocery chain, I am working through this as 'critical personnel'.

The beltless SCO are designed for about a dozen items or so. Always have been. Even the ones with belts were never designed to handle a full shopping cart of groceries. As for the anti-theft measures, if people didn't try to steal shit every 30 seconds, they wouldn't need to be tweaked so tight. If only 10% of the floor value walks out the door in a quarter, it was a good quarter. One store I know had a woman get caught shoplifting, AP guy came from a different store, where he had caught her shoplifting earlier that day.

The problem being, they've stated and shown that the same type of statement delivered BY an actual candidate making false claims about an opponent will be permitted.

actually, a lot of embedded hardware is still memory limited - not everything is a desktop/laptop.

So, you're saying they already have less than half the US per capita CO2 emissions?

1.4B vs 330M // China vs US population

From some stores, I am hearing it cuts shoplifting by up to 20% - a rate that would pay for itself under a year if the trend holds.

Under your standard, blackjack is also not a gambling game.

By itself? A Y chromosome has almost no effect on the development of a human fetus. The SRY1 gene which normally resides on it is responsible for penis growth - which occurs even if the SRY1 gene has transposed to the X chromosome. If your trying to argue there are only 2 sexes, you're ignoring that there are at least 6^12 major combinations of sexual genes which result in not 2 sexes, but a multidimensional spectrum with 2 clusters we call 'male' and 'female'.

A person can have a penis, testicles, and a womb (one father of 3 found that out going in to have his "tumor" biopsied). You also see drug interactions that are often associated with 'male' occurring in 'female' patients. "Male" and "female" are convenient categories, but the reality is NOT as binary as many people think.

If the schedule says the bus will arrive at 9:05, then 9:05 is when the bus arrives.
