Not sure about that, all the Apple Stores I've been in there was no shortage of full sleeved tattooed clerks.
Wow..where do you live?
I mean, hell, I live in New Orleans...where pretty much ANYTHING goes, and I rarely see people with that much tattoo work done on them.
Most people that could afford an iWatch are gonna have 'real' jobs...and you generally can't be all painted up from head to toe, with piercings galore and work in an office, etc.
So, even in a town where wild and different is the norm...folks with enough tattoos to make it in a circus show are very much in the minority. And like I said, generally...those folks are not the market for an expensive toy like the iWatch.
I've never seen any of the Apple Store employees here with any noticeable ink on them.
Yes let's completely ignore that a $10,000 smart device should have taken that into account during development.
Honestly, I'd not have thought about it either....such a fringe thing that it likely wouldn't have been thought up.
I don't know that many people that have so much of their skin painted up that it would cause interference. I'd guess most professional folks, like the IT folks at Apple aren't all painted up from head to toe with tattoos.
Sure, lots of folks these days may have one or two, but usually they're somewhere what is hidden while wearing at least business casual clothing which would generally mean not running down your arms onto and past your wrists....?
I thought the Obama administration promised to be the most "transparent" one to take office?!?!
I can't see it being any more transparent than by basing their studies on data that everyone can see and independently confirm or debate...no?
What am I missing here?
Kim Berry, president of the Programmer's Guild, said Congress should protect American workers by mandating that positions can only be filled by H-1B workers when no qualified American â" at any wage â" can be found to fill the position."
You know.....I really like what Ken has to say. I wish our congress critters would listen to him. After all, they are supposed to be there to help US citizens' needs above all others. *sigh*
And btw, I also can setup a website within 20 minutes for free, but with a CMS that even the most skilled hacker will have a hard time with to hack.
Which one are you talking about? I'm seriously interested in exploring other options!!
Thanks!!
These might just have really *BEEN* some of the coming entitlement generation kids, the same ones that always got a trophy growing up just for showing up at a game or whatever.
Maybe they all did deserve to fail?? I hope they at least have to take the class over and aren't all given automatic passing grades whether they deserve it or not...?
The EV might be ok for the american suburbs where everyone has a big house with a garage, but for for european ones where almost everyone live in apartments where you park your car either in the stress or on some parking lots.
Geez, I couldn't live like that. Just not having a place for my outdoor grill and smoker....or a place to set up my burners and pots for a crawfish boil (or do some home brewing) out back would drive me crazy.
I'd miss cooking out and having a bunch of friends over on the weekends.
It has RDA of calories, and if you're drinking soda, then 100% of the calories are from sugar (or corn syrup, for most soda in the US). There is no RDA for sugar specifically because there are no scientific guidelines, not because the FDA is part of some grand conspiracy to keep it a secret.
Well, the WHO tried to set very specific and LOW limits on what human daily sugar consumption should have been a few years ago. The US sugar consortium had our govt basically tell the WHO to remove such bad and low recommendations or we'd withhold our funds and a lot of that language was stricken from the WHO recommendations.
There was apparently an attempt to lower sugar recommendations from The McGovern committee to study food and the US.
And interesting video on the report too HERE.
Here's a little of what WHO was proposing
. Give this movie a watch, it is free to stream on Netflix, called Fed Up . It has some very interesting insights into sugar and its impact on society from since about the 70's...
I thought that was the only reason anyone had cable anymore, for the sportsing. Especially since HBONow is finally a thing.
The sports thing is only really important to me during college football season, other than that, I don't watch it.
But I would miss all the different cable news networks, I tend to default to them when nothing else is on, etc...
If I could stream and get all those, I'd likely cut the cable too. Right now I'm experimenting with an indoor HDTV OTA antenna and NF/Amazon streaming to see how much I can deal with that and not miss UVerse......right now it is mostly the missing the cable news shows, and the fact I don't have a mythtv box set up to act as DVR and distribution to all the TVs in my house.
That is one of my next projects, but until then...uverse stays.
I buy for taste and nutrition, and I'll pay that little extra more to have it.
It isn't like strawberries grown locally (I live in LA and love Pontachula strawberries) are going to break the bank on my budget. I buy them in season, enjoy the hell out of them, and then move onto the next seasonal fruit for my diet.
I get headaches from spicy food. Doesn't mean it's killing me. My body just doesn't like capsaicin.
Oh wow.
I REALLY feel sorry for you man. That is really one of the great things in life to enjoy...chiles!!
And with a diet filled with plenty of chiles and beer, you never have to worry about regularity!!
I saw an interesting program on Netflix the other day called Fed Up, and I didn't realize till now, that for sugar it is pretty much the only ingredient that does NOT have a daily % listed. It is due to the sugar lobby fighting reports from years back showing sugar is the real killer and reason for obesity in so many folks.
I doubt those colas would fee comfy showing that one can was like 120% of the recommended daily allowances of sugar for a day. 120% just being a made up number....I think it is in the ball park, but don't know for this posting.
Never traveling to Pakistan seems like a reasonable move. I'd place it along side avoiding gang ridden neighborhoods and other acts of common sense.
And more and more evident today add to that list:
NOT running from the cops.
Yes. We usually see Amber Alerts at least once a month. They are usually 'child abductions'. The authorities share the year, make and model of the vehicle plus the license plate number.
Interesting.
I'd heard of the amber alert thing, but didn't quite know what it was in practice. I thought it was something just broadcast on the news on TV at night in CA.
Do any other states have this thing?
Are child abductions a big problem in CA or is the fear and publicity of them bigger out there than in the rest of the US? Do these Amber Alerts come over your phone? Do you have to subscribe to them or do they authorities throw them out to anyone with a CA cell phone?
