The bucolic, dope smoking socialists are late getting broadband from the moneyed Massachusetts gentry. I'm shocked.

Destroy Putin! Partition Russia. This is the great work that was left undone after WWII.

Maybe you should move to a country with a modern banking system. Been able to make and receive money via email for years in Kanuckistan direct from a bank account, no cc or bank account info transferred, no cc required.t

That's because only a tiny bit of consumers are even aware blackberry still exists, and most of those who are aware have written them off.

Shadow bans used to hide disagreements of opinion with the site operator are a sign of deteriorating quality Example: groklaw. As time went on, even qiestioning anything was dangerous. Shadow bans encourage spammers because their posts are still visible. Putting a "spam comment deleted" sends the message to all spammers to try their luck elsewhere.

You mean, people accidentally mashing both pedals at the same time?

Digging ditches pays quite will. We have a lot of buried infrastructure, and experienced backhoe operators who won't damage to services in close proximity make halfway decent coin

Google hires people based on talent. Women and minorities are under-represented in the technical and engineering community. That is a fact of life. Until more women and minorities CHOOSE to enter this field, getting a "diverse workforce" would have to mean you exclude more qualified white males in order to hire less qualified minorities and women.

Think about that for a moment. Suppose hospitals did things this way? If you need critical brain or heart surgery, do you want your surgeon to be one of the best in his or her field, or one that was a "diversity hire"?

Until you're comfortable with the second option, this "diversity" idiocy needs to stop. It's one thing to exclude perfectly qualified candidates because they're female or minority. It's another thing to make that the primary reason you're hiring them instead of making sure they're the best qualified for the job.

The report of the lack of men's shelters in Canada is totally inaccurate. Just because you want to make a living running a shelter of any kind doesn't mean you're going to get government funding. There are plenty of shelters for men who are homeless for whatever reason.

Here you can walk into the local CLSC and get a referral to a shelter for abused men.

Unfortunately, to many SJWs seem to think that feminism isn't just about equality. They're just the latest iteration of that transphobic nutbar Germaine Greer. Bra-burning was never the way to achieve equality, just sensationalist attention-grabbing that took away from the real issues, same as SJWs today are more of a distraction than they're worth.

The thing is, the needle pricks are no big deal any more. They used to hurt a lot more than now, but the finger stickers are sharper, the amount of blood you need is next to nothing (and can be drawn from places other than the finger), and the injections are pretty much painless. And now they're experimenting with inhaled insulin.

You claimed that humans make semi-rational choices. I pointed out that they do not - they make totally irrational choices. I did not "make your point" as you wrongfully claimed.

Your interpretation of rape is lacking ..., to say the least.

Humans over-breed - and we can't export them anywhere else any more, like they did 100s of years ago when much of the world was still unknown. So, where are you going to put 19 billion people?

No, but it has real-time measuring, not a 10 - minute+ delay. Also it's much finer grained in it's operation than the device.

A normal functioning pancreas won't ever put you into insulin shock either. Type 1 diabetics don't have a normally functioning pancreas, or they wouldn't be Type 1 diabetics, duh!

The pump can't add glucose. Your body has a limited store of glycogen in the liver that it can draw on, after which you need calories quickly.

Yes, there are methods of avoiding hypoglycemia when working out - but they're reactive, not anticipatory. Until they also include a sugar pump, forget it.
