It would be nice to say these 10 pages help me when working on project X, and these 7 on project Y, and these 12 on project Z, so let me assign a button to each group so I only have the relevant tabs running at any one time and can close the rest down without facing a nightmare when I need to restart them.
You can use the Session Manager add-on to do this by saving groups of tabs as named sessions. If you need multiple sets open at once, you can put each session into a separate window.
[...] the fact that the SLAPP was not upheld is not permissible as evidence.
I think that you mean "admissible".
If there was another place I could get computer parts and electronics locally (for times when waiting three or four days for Newegg isn't an option) I would never set foot inside their doors.
That's why I make it a point to buy from my local mom and pop computer shop whenever practical. I want them to stay in business so that I can stay out of Best Buy.
[...] being on the short list for the which hunt [...]
Would that be the hunt for which person person to blame? The one with the pointy nose and evil cackle, perhaps?
While the advantages you listed are true, traffic circles (what we call "roundabouts" here in the D.C. area) have cons as well.
We have quite a few of them in the District. I used to drive through Washington Circle (Google Map) every day on my way to work. They work well for areas with moderate traffic or where one of the streets has heavy traffic and the other(s) only light traffic. Unfortunately, that does not describe the traffic in the D.C. area, including Montgomery County. We have the second worst traffic in the country, after Los Angeles. We have traffic lights on some entry ramps for our highways to regulate entry so that the four and six lane highways don't get backed up as much. That's how bad it is.
Also, circles require more room than intersections. A lot of our major roads around here have three or four lanes going in each direction. A three or four lane circle would take up quite a bit of space and becomes more daunting to navigate.
Are circles better than unsynchronized traffic lights during a D.C. rush hour? Possibly. Are they better than synchronized traffic lights the other 360 days a year? I doubt it.
What do you think people would say about him if he said "Im the greatest of all time. Divide like a butterfly, add like a bee. Your all stupidheads!"
That he should learn the difference between possessive pronouns and contractions?
According to Bible Literalists, there were only 2 humans roughly 6000 years ago.
There. Fixed that for you.
It was rated as funny because the g.p. used an unexpected twist to point out a fact that is often overlooked in the discussion of the results of slavery in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. That twist registers in the human brain as humor.
You're certainly entitled to resent and be angered by the treatment that your ancestors suffered as a result of slavery and that you and your family have suffered as a result of racism. IMO slavery may be the worst crime that humans have ever dreamed up to commit on one another.
Nonetheless, the point that the descendants of slaves living in Europe, the U.S. and Canada may be better off in terms of standard of living, health care and left expectancy isn't invalid. It's arguable (the life expectancy for African American men is appalling, for example) and in no way justifies the barbarity of slavery or the way that the U.S. has treated their descendants since[1], but it shouldn't be dismissed without consideration in an argument about reparations; one of the most frequent justifications for paying reparations now is the current social-economic status of the descendants of slaves relative to the rest of the population. If that's fair game, why not the g.p.'s point?
[1] I don't know enough about the issues in Canada or Europe to comment.
>When I write NOT NULL in a column, it doesn't necessarily mean I want to enforce that I MUST supply a value during any INSERT (and indeed then have to check that my INSERT actually worked and check for possible returned errors, coding exceptions etc). Therefore I always supply a DEFAULT value, that the DB can safely insert in that column, IF I haven't specified anything different during the INSERT.
That's lovely, but it's not a solution that covers all cases and I damned well don't want the RDBMS assuming that it does. As others have pointed out, there are cases where one might require a NOT NULL column with no default value. If I want a column to have a default value, I'll supply one. If I don't, it shouldn't go behind my back and add one like some sort of damned MS autocorrection feature.
They must be doing something right in Europe though because every country I've checked on the CIA's factbook has a higher life expectancy for both men and women and a lower rate of infant mortality than the US.
Why do you think that is solely due to medical care? There are a number of other factors, such as education, violence and immigration[1] that might also factor in.
[1] People to immigrate later in life from countries with poor medical care might skew the numbers somewhat by dying earlier as a result of that poor medical care, regardless of the care available to them in their new country of residence. No, I don't have any numbers; I'm speculating. It's still a plausible alternative to the parent's conclusion.
Insurance for my family (me, wife, 2 kids) through my employer would cost $1,200/month. I make 30k/yr. Do the math. That's half my salary BEFORE taxes.
That's a damned high number. I pay half of that for the same number of people, and I'm footing the whole bill as the owner of my own company. We live in the D.C. suburbs, which, while not the most expensive place to live, is certainly well above the national average.
It sounds to me like your situation is atypical. Is there a chronic disease involved that would explain that number?
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
