How is it unbelievable that someone would pay $800 for a couch? If your $550 couch isn't the best couch in the world, then maybe there's a reason other people with different sensibilities and means would pay more than you would for a couch.
They're also offering a free upgrade to the paid version for the first week, but you need to get it this week.
From the blogpost on reddit
"Current Pro users, please make sure to get the new Pro upgrade now (free for one week). Unfortunately, due to the limits of the app transfer system, we have no other way to verify, credit, or transfer your old Pro account."
I think the point was the few lines after that about the punishment the attacker withstood, presumably due to the drugs. Subduing someone on PCP can be much more difficult than someone who is drunk or high from other substances
You realize that California is a much larger place than just SF right? It's the most populous state, the 3 largest in mileage, and if it was a country it'd have the 8th largest GDP.
It's astounding that you simply can't imagine that there exists cities that function differently than "the capital of the world" as you put it.
I rarely have seen issues in California with zipper merge, when the lanes are actually merging. Most of the time the issue I've seen is when people are cutting over from a turn only lane to try and force their way to go straight.
It's been awhile since I've looked into it, but I seem to remember it being more or less that the young, and very old are both less safe than the middle.
100% of people die, This strand of Ebola kills 63% of people who contract it within weeks, as opposed to your examples of HIV and Hep C. It's also a particularly gruesome way to go. I suggest you look up what some of those symptoms listed actually are.
Doctors with experience trying to treat incurable viruses are also much less interchangeable than you seem to think. There's also a lot of work done to try and limit the spread of the virus as well as attempting to learn what we can to cure/prevent it in the future.
If you look at the outbreak list that you linked to, you can see that this is also the largest outbreak listed.
Well that's also why in some places the cameras must make a noise when they take a picture. (I'm sure there's ways around it, but there are ways to get around pretty much anything)
Your short term plans aren't all that short term. Most of what you describe is obviously the ideal that society should strive towards, but incredibly difficult to actually do. That's not to say we shouldn't work towards it, and you gave 1-2 very concrete examples, but it really depends on your definition of how long "short term" is whether or not it's feasible in that timeframe.
"The myth that men are more likely to be engineers because thats what guys are interested in.. Is just that.. a myth. People are interested in things because they have had access to learn about said things." is absolutely correct.
True, however having an institution against criminals convicted of capital offences is still an apples and oranges comparison to racism/sexism. No one is born a murderer.
Did you actually read that article? Or did I massively misread it. He never talked about blacks and hispanics in Vancouver.
"Our own racist stench is that Canada’s original inhabitants no longer number among what I called our “main ethnic groups”"
But, please, lecture us more on an article you didn't read
You're comparing apples and oranges. If there was institutional murder and fraud then your comparison might make some sense.
If there there was institutional murder, say every left-handed person was killed at birth, and you did nothing about it because you're right handed then he's claiming you're actively part of that institutional murder.
While I don't necessarily agree, there are differences between the types which you are ignoring
While he's definitely wrong on several accounts, you are as well.
1. How do Indians in India being poorer affect this? Obviously the ones in extreme poverty aren't the ones coming and working in the US.
2. You provide no evidence of black latino culture (I assume you mean black and latino cultures, since they're separate entities) looking down upon education. You seem to fail to grasp what exactly institutional racism is, because lack of education of minority groups who tend to live in lower socioeconomic areas is institutional racism.
3. SF can indeed be racist against other groups, even if it isn't against all minority groups.
The better solution is that you can change the settings about who can send you connection requests since this "senior professional" feels that they're such an affront when received from strangers
Actually, as far as I've read, both connection requestors who received this type of treatment tried to add her so that she could see their profiles. The data they sent to join the job board is fairly limited (doesn't include a resume) so both individuals felt that allowing her to see their profiles could be beneficial, not trying to "farm" this woman's connections for jobs. They're trying to join the job board to find jobs.
Typical non-millennial response to not know how to tactfully deal with declining connection requests? I fail to see how this "Senior Professional"'s response doesn't warrant the reaction she's received when she runs a job board.
What is the source for " Most car accidents happens when people are traveling large distances or coming back from unusual places such as parties and bars (not home-work commute)" when most of the data I've seen says that most accidents occur within 5 miles from home and that only 1% of accidents occur further than 50 miles from home.
For one I don't think that's a meme, but I think he was more referencing specific instances that had been in the news somewhat recently of this happening in the south.
If there's a Costco near you, they normally stock Mexican Coke. I'm not affiliated with Costco in any way, that's just where I purchase my real sugar Coke
