BTW your sarcasm detector is broken.

Probably the part where he thinks Obama will be president until 2024.

Jeez, give it a rest already. We get it! You like the taste of shoe polish and want your overlords' boots to be well licked.

Definitely not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Lying is not illegal in and of itself, but in business and legal contexts it is often either a crime or a tort.

Yes. Which it is.

All of your "exceptions" are not exceptions. In all of those cases you are still worse off if you speak. There is no upside to speaking without a lawyer. Ever.

...and how many people need to take the CCNA exam?

There are lots of skills that most people don't need, and those who do need them can learn them when needed.

Your priorities are clearly backwards.

It was settled until the 13,14, and 15 amendments were passed.

Because that's what amendments DO: they change the Constitution.

And you went AC to copy and paste it again?

Can we know what recruiting firm you run? Just so we know who NOT to use.

I'd like to hear what you think the actual job of HR is since every HR department I've ever encountered has only existed to protect the company against lawsuits. They certainly don't exist for your benefit.

That's true. You're not a libertarian. They don't get as turned on by men-in-jack-boots as you do.

No it doesn't because you are grossly oversimplifying.

BMR calculators give an average estimate, not an exact individual figure. People vary around the average. To complicate things further, people are NOT equally efficient in their absorption of calories/nutrients from the same food.

Basal Metabolic rate accounts for the difference, not the exercise.

Christ almighty that link is total gibberish. I assume Mersini didn't see it or approve it before it was published because it's rife with errors.

Event horizons are not membranes in any physical sense, it's been known that Hawking radiation causes an object to lose mass since Hawking's original paper on the subject--in fact, that's the only reason Hawking radiation is interesting, it's the one way for mass to "escape" the event horizon--and few think the Big Bang started from a singularity in the sense meant in this article (even Hawking, who wrote THAT paper too, arguing for a pre-Big Bang singularity doesn't think that's what happened anymore).

The idea that Hawking radiation could overwhelm the gravitational collapse is interesting and merits further investigation, but it is by no means "proof" or "conclusive" of anything.
