The one quibble I have with USB-C is the pin doesn't seat far enough into a device. It's one thing if the connection is vertical. The pin is sitting in the port. However, when plugged in sidewarys, that itsy bitsy pin now has to bear all the weight of the cable pulling it down.

To me, that seems like stress which doesn't need to be there.

This is retarded.

1. It isn't for profit healthcare that is the problem, it's THIRD PARTY PAY.
2. I don't use third party pay, ever, for healthcare. I've been insured nonstop for over 30 years, and NEVER ONCE has my insurer paid my doctor.
3. Even when I've had emergencies, I still called around, negotiated a fair cash up front rate, paid cash up front, and billed it to my insurer. My cash up front rate was sometimes below any co-pay negotiated with my insurer, lol.

I just recently had some elective surgery that would have cost me about $2000 on my annual deductible, but I was able to cash pay a negotiated rate of $400 including a follow-up "free". I submitted the $400 to my insurer and they reimbursed me.

Third party insurance exists because YOU VOTERS demanded the HMO Act of the 1970s, which tied health care to employment, and then employers outsourced it to third parties.

Health care is remarkably cheap in the US (cash pay, negotiated) and I don't have to wait months to see a doctor when I call and say I am cash pay. They bump me up fast.

and barely knows what it is or how to pronounce it like an everyday term normal people use.

At this point, he's barely cognizant of where he's at.

Everyone knows what the MKV format is. It's something they use every day. No need to offer an explanation of what MKV offers compared to other formats. It's as clear as granite.

Let the kids die. That'll teach 'em a lesson.

Why are they building a sea wall? What makes them think climate change is real?

If it's not real, as the governor keeps saying, then no sea wall is needed. If climate change is real, then everyone should get one.

You can't have it both ways. Unless you're being deliberately racist.

IBM was ecstatic to provide Germany with tabulating machines. Doesn't seem to have affected them. Same with this.

The episode you are looking for is called A Taste of Armageddon.

Based on Google's last quarterly numbers, that fine is equal to about three days worth of revenue.

Google had $96.43 billion in revenue last quarter. Divide by 3 gets you $32.143 billion each month. Divide by 30 gets you $1.0714 billion each day. Times 3 comes out $3.2142 billion.

It can't even be called a fine.

Funny, I don't eat at fast food any more, nor buy bags of chips to eat every week, or subsist on gallons of soda. And yet, I'm barely heavier than I was in high school (which was practically rail thin) and sit on my ass all day in the office.

It's almost as if what you just said isn't true.

The brokerage chief said private companies and government must make investing easier from an early age.

How much easier can it be? You're 18, you sign up on the brokerage web site of your choice, provide some information, and off you go.

Or, your parents create a custodial account in your name, they do the trading based on what you say, then when you're 18 it's all yours.

This isn't rocket surgery.

He loves the poorly educated.

This is from the ESPN site itself. Not sure how much more legitimate you can get when they're the ones broadcasting the game.

Try watching one of the free college football games on ESPN. Trying to figure out which scripts need to run to view the broadcast is a cluster fuck.

Even if you think you have it figured out you may get some bogus message about the cert not being valid.

As I said, these are for the free games, the ones being broadcast on ABC (ESPN and ABC are owned by the same company) so you don't need to sign up for anything. I can only image how difficult it is for the ones you have to have an account to view.

This is the 21st century. There should be no reason someone can't click on a video and have it play without needing to enable 20+ scripts and 30+ css/xml sheets.

Try explaining the rules of English spelling or grammar to someone. It requires many special cases, exceptions, and exceptions to the exceptions.

You mean ear and bear aren't pronounced the same? Where does tear fit into the picture? Can we try food, book, and good?
