There is no getting rid of the roads.
It may be mobile, but not anonymous with a camera on every ceiling.
I couldn't disagree more. That might have been true a long time ago, but nobody learns a new language, at least not well, in a few days.
I have seen too many JSPs and Java functions that literally go for pages.
I wonder what the next headline will be?
"Dilbert Cartoonist Joins Anti-Vaccine Movement"
Well put.
Solid and consistent science is there. The people who are confused, think there are contradictions in the science or a lack of it haven't read deeper than popular articles.
I expected more from Scott Adams.
I love Dilbert, I've enjoyed many of Scott Adams' opinion on his web site. I disagree with him on this issue and I think his opinion is especially ignorant one considering his intellect.
Science hasn't gotten nutrition and fitness wrong.
People don't want to be told that they can't have everything they want in regards to eating, weight control and health. They don't want to accept that some delayal of gratification is necessary.
This refusal to accept reality fuels the popular diet book market, which floods popular media and popular opinion with misinformation.
If you slow down, go deeper into the literature, and spend time with it you will find that science doesn't have all that many disagreements about nutrition, weight control, how to eat to prevent disease etc.
I saw in the news today that Google may be developing its own driverless cabs.
Yipee!
Nice going Google, lets put even more people out of work!
I keep seeing articles about research showing that people who gravitate toward right wing politics tend to have a psychology dominated by fear, paranoia, and emotional reactions.
I always thought those articles were smug and just a bit self serving.
I guess I still do.
However, with Christie's obvious pandering ( someone should ask him if his kids are vaccinated ) I have to wonder.
It seems like there are a large chunk of people on the right who are ready to accept any story of government lies, conspiracies, designed to pollute them or take something away from them.
It isn't a new thing either. In 2015 it is vaccines, in the 50s it was communists putting fluoride in the water.
The emotionality of it is so fucking disgusting -- and it matters.
There are serious global climate change issues, the U.S. is in danger of losing/retarding the universal healtcare it wanted for so long, and now we have previously eradicated diseases making a comeback.
All because there is a segment of the population that isn't smart enough to know when NOT to let their emotions do their thinking for them.
Nobody is forcing you to do anything and quite frankly, with no offense, it doesn't matter to us as it is not our health.
Just as a tip, for your health and to clear up misinformation, it is all about what you are used to.
If you start eating different types of food, your tastes will shift. Even for healthy food.
Exercise may feel like zero fun when you start, I know I have been there.
As you get in better shape you come to enjoy it.
As the OP mentioned, you don't have to do anything dramatic.
Minimize the # of your calories in the form of refined flour products and sweeteners. Get out and start taking a walk every day.
Those things done constituently will make measurable results.
So, the FBI is doing such a great job, they are now concerned about a technology not yet in use.
Neither.
I learned about the wall on a History Channel documentary.
Nobody was an idiot back then, everyone knew Hitler was a problem. The wall wasn't finished because France was exhausted in resources from WW I. French politicians and people simply didn't want to pay for it.
I hereby declare this the best comment of the thread.
Almost. They never finished it. The Nazis were able to around it.
I'm not a user, but my understanding is that pot is a very hearty plant, easy to grow and cheap to grow. Why invest money, time, and effort in learning to get the THC without it?
