It may be flamebait, but that doesn't make it any less true.

I say we clone Soyuz 11 and give Putin a ride!

You're confusing protected minorities with non-protected ones.

Protected ones are race, religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation.

Non-protected ones are smokers, criminals, nihilists, believing the earth is flat, which teletubby is your favorite and MANY more.

If you could easily get jobs with a criminal record there would probably be less recidivism. Making a law that forbids you from not hiring criminals would however be quite stupid. If you embezzle money, it would be pretty dumb if they couldn't discriminate when hiring for an accountant position you were otherwise qualified for.

"(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Reply to This"

Isn't this a tautological statement?

Isn't everyone's worldview settled beforehand?

Encrypt your messages with a key you share with friends. Then you can post all day long publicly and it still be a 1:1 message (assuming your friends don't share your key). Just don't post anything of any real importance.

Better yet, don't give your accounts the ability to post public messages at all.

You want to end up accidentally creating another Australia? No thanks!

Where can I buy one of these Nobel prices?

I bet they're expensive

It's sad that this will change real soon... and the impetus will be the first wide-body jet that (hopefully) has to make an emergency landing, or (far worse) loses control like hydraulic lines from an engine exploding and crashes.

Unfortunately, to many of the modern regulations were bought with blood.

Commerce clause?

I think you're referring to the catch-all clause which states "if it involves interstate commerce (or you could potentially have a nickle in your pocket while doing said activity) congress can regulate it."

Parentheses added by whoever felt like it at the time.

I didn't even see the corrections at the bottom. The last sentence makes me lol

"CORRECTION:
Figures for four companies have been updated: Beacon Power received $43 million from the U.S. government, not $69 million as originally reported. Azure Dynamics received $5.4 million from the federal government, not $120 million as originally reported. Compact Power Inc. received $151 million as part of the stimulus, not $150 million as originally reported. Willard and Kelsey Solar Group received $700,981 in government funding, not $6 million as originally reported.
The following companies have been removed from the original list: AES’s subsidiary Eastern Energy, LSP Energy, Schneider Electric, and Uni-Solar did not receive government-backed loans, based on additional research. The National Renewable Energy Lab did received $200 million in stimulus funding, but it is a government laboratory."

lololol

That's a misquote of Zappa:

"Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe."

But you've illustrated the point nicely.

Thing is, the list is of companies "The complete list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies:" so companies on the edge of collapse. The thing is, filing for bankruptcy (unless you're just gonna sell off the assets....) or being on the edge of collapse does not necessarily mean complete failure. This list does not include companies which received loans and who are profitable and solid. As mentioned, it doesn't include Tesla, well, Tesla motors stock price has climbed rapidly and they're profitable. Clearly they are neither faltering or bankrupt.

#1 problem with this list " bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy" is their definition of faltering. This means that you can pretty much create a bad faith and arbitrary list for the sake of argument argument by changing what these terms mean. Profitable but lagging companies sometimes lay off workers, yet they would be considered more solid. Companies heading for bankruptcy are sometimes still industry giants (just not in net profit).

A better list would have a the following: Name/Term of loan/Outstanding Loan $ (0$ if borrowed and paid in full)/Income/Profit (net)

and maybe a few more indicators. Some companies are more longshot investments, whether any of the companies who received loans one day become megaliths, only time shall tell.

Now there is money to be made in multi-drug resistant jeans!

Yes, you have a cursory understanding.

What people don't understand is that continuing this fusion for power kick will drastically alter ambient helium levels, and with that, the pitch of our voices! To answer your question, not only will shortages be reversed, but exponentially so, and to the detriment of our manliness.

I hate to be picky, like my parents who would make grammatical corrections to every school news letter and send it back to the principal, but that's some terrible editing
