...mainly because the US African American community has major cultural issues with broken families and an habitual acceptance of criminality that not enough of them are trying to fix internally. HOWEVER:...
It doesn't really matter what comes after "however". You've pretty much stated your case with "I am for unconstitutional searches of black people because I believe that they are inherently criminals."
You would have read this:
The findings are reassuring, Buesseler says. He measured a high of just 8 becquerels of radiation per cubic meter in the samples. Of that, he says, less than 2 becquerels came from cesium-134 traced to Fukushima. The remainder is largely from strontium-90 and cesium-137: Some of that is fallout from mid-20th century atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, and some may have come from Fukushima—these isotopes lack the half-life fingerprint that ties cesium-134 to the Japanese disaster. The total level of radiation is hardly worth worrying about, Buesseler says: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for drinking water allow up to 7400 becquerels per cubic meter. Buesseler is presenting his latest findings Thursday at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry North America’s annual meeting.
So, that's 6 Bq that was most likely deposited by aboveground or underwater Pacific nuke testing.
You can now return to your previously scheduled freakout over "ZOMG RADIATSHUNS!"
This is one of the most epic trolls ever! I salute you! Its like watching Portlandia if Portlandia was a slashdot post and about Kansas.
You're probably one of those Overland Parkers - should have given y'all to Missouri anyways - your ancestors probably helped Quantrill's raiders burn Lawrence.
Before you mod me, you'd better know who Quantrill's raiders were, and the history between Kansas and Missouri
have you ever used Linux with Compiz (and any decorator) along with all its various plugins, plus a dock you like? You might try avant-window-navigator, if indeed it's still called that. AWN provides a maclike dock which is dramatically more configurable. In short, Compiz+AWN gives you all the same functionality and (if you like) behavior as the mac, including Expo[se] and the like. But it's just more configurable in every way. You can change every key and mouse binding, you can change behavior and appearance of most elements, you can move widgets around to new locations. It's everything the mac is, and then some — at least in the UI department.
The only place Linux falls down is applications, there's still more of them for the Mac given that the popular ones on Linux are there too.
As for what it runs like on a macbook, I don't really know, but why would it require a hack? A macbook is a PC. Linux runs fine on PCs.
Oh, sure. Jumped on compiz way back in the day - 2006 ish? Spent hours futzing with kewl eye-candy, making all my friends go 'ooh!' with the cube. But, depending on your brand of macbook, getting Ubuntu on it is not as simple as you think. And considering that all you are gaining is some ability to tweak your desktop UI? Not really worth it. Those kids in Cupertino spent some time making sure that once you did pay the Apple tax, that at least you wouldn't have a shitty OS experience.
Plus, in terms of my linux UI choices these days? Hard to beat dwm - just recompile with your altered source code and voila! Beat THAT for customization.
If I'm feeling really froggy, I'll throw Openbox on - maybe even add Tint2.
Back on topic, the Surface Pro 3 is a great little machine.
Yeah, but Windows. I don't trust Windows as far as I can throw it, not even on a desktop, and certainly not a tablet.
With so many vectors for your privacy to escape through, I never worry about Microsoft anymore. So its a closed garden. Who cares, really? By the time you would need to throw linux on it in a few years I'm sure there will be a wiki and about twenty distro flavors to choose from.
Off topic: I cannot imagine for one second that Ubuntu through whatever hack is required to run natively on a macbook is a better user experience than OSX itself. I get a lot of the legitimate mac bashing that goes on (expensive hardware, elitist culture, etc etc) but the OSX gripes baffle me.
I'm typing this on an early 2009 macbook my alma mater handed me freshman year. It started with Leopard and is now running Yosemite. It has a unix shell, it has vim, it has a compile toolchain (clang via xcode and gcc via homebrew), it has git...it even has x11. OSX is unix, and a darn good one. Not only that it came preloaded to edit your gnar vids from your snowboard go pro.
Back on topic, the Surface Pro 3 is a great little machine. Got one for my daughter for her graduation present, as she didn't want to learn mac or droid and wanted something to replace her aging laptop. She takes notes with the pen in her own handwriting. The keyboard/cover/thing is actually a decent keyboard - the trackpad on it is kind of meh, however. I just wish the price points were a little lower, but that's just cos I'm a cheapskate.
Drug prosecution and arrest happen most often in poor communities. Joe Biden's son is an outlier, not proof of lack of class bias.
That's why we have Think Tanks, so everyone else stops thinking.
This. So much this. And the other stuff as well. But this...
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
