Disposable income is what's left over after i pay all my bills, right?
No, that's discretionary income. Disposable income is what you have after you deduct taxes, but haven't paid for anything else.
We have too many redundant frameworks. Sadly, systemd is the only effort to unify them that seems to have traction.
Because lots of different redundant efforts to unify lots of redundant frameworks is clearly be the best way to solve the problem of lots of different redundant frameworks!
Redundancy is awesome!
Only the literal pedant thinks fairy tale dragons are about actual large beasts. They are metaphors for evil, and indeed instruct that evil exists and must be opposed, which children do not already know.
So... Puff the Magic Dragon isn't actually Jackie Paper's childhood friend who Jackie forgets about as he grows older? And it's all a metaphor for how imaginary childhood friends are evil and must be opposed by adults because kids don't know they should be fighting them rather than befriending them?
Of course not. That's stupid.
Fairy tales aren't always metaphors or allegories. Sometimes they're just entertaining stories that we tell kids. To paraphrase something Freud may or may not have said... sometimes a dragon is just a dragon.
The circlejerk?
Then we have the problem of generating an EMP.
Only works with nukes ignited in very high atmosphere, you know.
You're ignoring a few things.
First, you don't hit the target with the EMP device. You detonate the device overhead and let the EMP hit the target. It doesn't require nearly as much accuracy as landing a shell on the ship does. It's the difference between firing a bullet at someone and landing a grenade in their general vicinity.
Second, you're assuming it's only used against a single ship. In reality, an EMP device would be best used against groups of ships. Being able to take out an entire carrier group in one shot would massively shift the balance of a naval battle.
Third, the goal of winning a battle is to win the battle, not rack up the highest kill count. Disabling your opponents ships takes them out of the battle just as effectively as singing them. Disabling may even be preferable since your opponent is likely to spend resources rescuing the people on the ships, leaving them with less to use in their defenses against your attacks.
Fourth, if you are out for kill count, it's much easier to kill a bunch of disabled ships than a group that's actively firing back and making evasive course adjustments and trying to kill you in return.
HOWEVER... most ships are already hardened against EMP (at least in the US fleet). I have no idea just how effective the hardening is (and I doubt the military is ever going to release details on that), but the whole idea of using an EMP device may be a moot point.
Bastardation? I think you mean bastardization.
You're not helping.
By your fucked-up logic, anyone who does something illegal in front of witnesses is simply defending himself if he hires someone to kill the witnesses.
"In hindsight, I can see I should have been more strict. My idealism was my downfall because I tried to see the best in people - I was convinced they would behave as they were treated, so I treated everyone kindly."
"Though Sarah, my general manager, was present, she refused to get involved because she didn't want to be the 'bad cop'."
The failure had nothing to do with the fact that they were women. It had to do with the fact that management didn't manage the employees. Example after example of offenses that would get you fired in any other company are given, yet there's nothing about anyone getting fired.
Put together an all male company and refuse to discipline anyone for bad behavior and not doing their job and you'll get almost identical results. The only difference is that the fights will be about sports instead of handbags.
Dammit! Just look at this comment! Slashdot has reached a new low!
I work a job that expects me to be in the office 6-7 days a week for 12+ hours.
I am moody, have low energy, have low focus, am easily distracted, am losing motivation, have low libido, am tired, am stressed, and am starting to feel run down.
Stress causes testosterone levels to drop. Get a job that doesn't require working 72-84 hours a week and your testosterone levels will probably go back to normal on their own without adding to your risk of strokes, heart attacks and blood clots.
The 11% is out of the amount that Spotify pays the label, not the 9.99 that Spotify charges the user.
"Major labels keep hold of 73% of payouts from the likes of Spotify."
The 73/16/11 split is of what Spotify pays the label, not what Spotify charges the user.
Sure. Banks incur fines all the time. The trick is that the amount of the fine is rarely more than a rounding error for them, so they don't give a shit and write it off as part of the cost of doing business.
No, it's God's fault. He's omniscient so he knew exactly what was going to happen when he created the tree, the serpent and the fallible humans who wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, but he went ahead and did it anyway. It was a goddamned setup from the very beginning.
You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
