so you're an over-reactionary dick with issues of self entitlement. got it.
"This leaves me the reality of No coverage in about a year, or quitting work and selling the house to get on Obama Care."
if you got downsized you can reapply for obamacare, my household making under 70k/yr got us 100% covered (read: no copays) in california.
so i'm not sure what you're talking about... i have a coworker who was also wrong about obamacare, he didnt even apply because he listened to all of this right wing talk show crap, turns out he could have had full coverage too but now has to wait because he told them he didnt want it. Poor guy has an austistic kid too and could really use some financial help. oh well. fuck obamacare amirite?
"Using that experiment purely as an analogy, these researchers have found a way to observe the particles that form the interference patterns so that each can be studied individually."
what happens after being studied individually..can they still be collapsed into each of the various states?
Well, I'm hardly a physicist, but it reads like they cut Schrodinger's box in half, pulled a dead kitty out of one and a live kitty out of the other. Is this incorrect?
almost...
"Ever seen the movie Cube? Like that."
But less than Cube 2: Hypercube
"The same company that made thalidomide also made penicillin. "
You mean produced, sold and profited from penicillin?
they didn't discover or figure out how to mass produce penicillin mind you, just knew it would be profitable to do so and thus did so to turn a profit.
what's your point exactly?
on to
"Also, I had wrongly thought your "killed more people" actually related to *food related* products. It doesn't, so it's even more tangential to the discussion of GMOs."
if a company produces a product that knowingly kills people because it is profitable, then maybe they shouldn't be allowed to develop food products or run healthcare. so no not very tangential and more the fucking point.
"Labeling is not an issue I take a position on, actually, except to say that the subject is not itself scientific. "
so you do take a position, which is clear since every statement in this post exerts a position against labeling. (if not outright against it, then maligning it in someway).
let's just agree to ignore both of you and find the facts out for ourselves... the only real way to ever deal with this type of discussion that brings out the shills on both sides.
Modern wheat has much lower protein content than it would be possible with a healthy genome. Also, modern wheat plants are little Frankenstein monsters with highly polyploid genomes riddled with mobile elements. Turns out that higher protein content can be achieved by fixing some of the problems caused by inbreeding during selection: http://www.researchgate.net/pu... [researchgate.net] "
i'm not sure what your point is, but from a cooking standpoint there are reasons for using flour with lower protein amounts, e.g. cakes and sweat breads, a higher protein level makes for a denser more elastic bread/dough... it sounds like you think when it comes to flour the higher the protein the better...?
adjusted for inflation 2009? or the same salary as back then?
I'm making about the same as 2007 but it buys a whole lost less.
"Thousands of dollars of productivity every day now go up in smoke to support people that provide nothing more into the system than they did the day before the minimum wage went up."
I think you meant:
"Thousands of dollars being paid to minimum wage earners will now be spent in the same system where nothing was able to be spent before the minimum wage was increased"
"According to this cite: http://www.epi.org/publication... [epi.org] The average minimum wage earner *is* the primary wage earner.
No where in your citation does it say that."
yes it does. maybe you don't comprehend English well? If you mean word for word then you would be technically accurate, meaning you are also technically splitting hairs to be correct, which usually means you position is very weak.. oh look it is weak.. well that explains it...
"So you're right... it isn't a complete fucking disaster yet that has claimed 100 million lives.
So automatically we should just french kiss people with the disease and then cough in the face of every new person we meet. Because this isn't something that should be taken seriously."
Over reacting and being a dick is definitely the way to get your point across and people to listen to you.
" people are taught to over simplify things especially when political talking points echo chamber their minions into all towing a very simple line."
Like characterizing a discussion as "talking points" and using terms like "echo chamber", "minions" "towing the line".
gotcha.
" This keep calm and carry on nonsense"
Exactly!!! the one thing i have learned in all of my travels is that you always want to remember:
