What color do you want you sushi to glow tonight?

There, fixed that for you.

Standard way of doing it:

- Outline what's wrong with the current undersized staff, where are the bottlenecks, what's being held up because there aren't enough people.

- Explain how this hurts the company's bottom line.

- Explain how hiring another person will solve the current problems, increase efficiency, and in the medium to long term, increase revenues more than the cost of hiring this new person.

If your case is well built, it'll be self-explanatory. If your boss/manager is reasonable, they will see the benefit of hiring a new person. If they don't seem to see the benefit and refuse to see the logic of your case, either

1/ you haven't built a good enough case (your fault)
2/ your boss is a jerk and you should quit
3/ something fishy is going on at your company (such as the company having run out of cash and being unable to hire, even if it'd make sense) and you probably should quit as well

Fast and Furious actor gets killed in a car accident... Sort of like if Arnold Schwarzenegger got crushed by an industrial robot.

Wrong answer. The right answer is: use Google, and Bing, and DDG, and as many other search engines are you can. All have their biases, and with all their results combined, you're probably closer to getting a somewhat balanced view of reality than either choosing or shunning a single one of them.

Not only that, but with digital TV, they know what you watch and when. With analog TV, they don't. Knowning who watches what and when is a very, VERY valuable business model - just ask Google...

For those who don't know... digital tv is this thing that carries the same mindless, retarded, idiotic, uninteresting programs as analog tv, only it's digital.

Don't patronize malls. Go to your local stores instead - and support them before they get swallowed up by giant faceless, evil retail chains.

Shopping malls are already dehumanized temples of consumerism, even without the robots. Those who know what social interaction is avoid these places like the plague anyway...

of the record labels. Before records, musicians made money by playing in live concerts. That's what musicians should do today, and "piracy" would cease to exist, along with the vampiristic record companies: live gigs would turn a profit, and free recordings (Youtube, MP3 and others) would be like film trailers, something to draw you to the live concerts.

Famously, the Grateful Dead encouraged people to record their concerts and saw nothing wrong with that, because 1/ every gig was different, and 2/ they considered their concerts to be where the interest, and the money, was.

You mean to tell me, when WOPR was busy looking for the launch code in Wargames, it was all a bunch of crap?

With that said, banning Glass while allowing phones is ridiculous. Every day on my commute, I've got dozens of people around me holding their phones to their faces. At a lunch restaurant I see the same thing. At dinner, in bars, on the street - you've got people fiddling with their phones everywhere.

People who fiddle with their phones aren't filming you. That's why you tolerate them. Now, if all the cellphone users had it up and filming around them all the time, how do you think you'd feel?

I have a disabled friend who's missing all four limbs. Curious people constantly film him when he walks on his prosthetics with their cellphones - yes, obnoxious tactless jerks raise their cellphones and start filming right in his face, as if he was a spectacle, just like that. He told me it's been years since he hates going out because of this. That's how you'll feel too when every other schmuck in the street wears the goddamn Google glasses.

Well, you *are* supposed to be dying. I'm assuming it can't be a totally pleasant experience, whatever method you choose. I'm just thinking ODing is the least unpleasant way of all, especially if you're not addicted in the first place. From what I've read, it beats hanging, choking in your garage with the car running or shooting yourself.

Thank you for your invaluable contribution to the discussion about assisted suicide. I you had lived through what Adams and his father have been through, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy. Of course, since you're probably in your teens and living in you parents' basement, you wouldn't know...

I have 10 grams of coke hidden in my house. My dad suffered tremendously during his last weeks of life. I've seen it with my own eyes. If I'm ever in that situation, I've instructed my family to overdose me with the coke. They'll have plausible deniability (I was a junkie who wanted his dose). As for me, they say the first hit is better than an orgasm, and with 10 g, it'd also be my last, so I'd go in style.

Of course, if I'm conscious and able to, I'll do the coke myself if I have to...

the legislature passed a bill forbidding the state coastal commission from defining rates of sea-level rise for regulation before 2016.

They really ought to keep the sea in check right now. Without regulation, it's free to rise however fast it damn well pleases until 2016.

I'll be surprised if in ten years nearly all new cars aren't fully electric.

I'll be surprised if, as more and more people adopt electric cars, at some point there won't be massive power grid failures on a regular basis. It isn't designed for that sort of load - I'm talking millions of people going back home after work and plugging in their power-hungry cars at roughly the same time every day, on top of the domestic spikes power companies already have trouble coping with during cold snaps.
