I subscribed to Green Chef for about a year but the hassle and time it took to make the meals wore me down.

Then I found freshly, which sends pre-made meals, and I love it.

The patch is not easily visible, because it consists of tiny pieces almost invisible to the naked eye.[7] Most of its contents are suspended beneath the surface of the ocean,[8] and the relatively low density of the plastic debris is, according to one scientific study, 5.1 kilograms per square kilometer of ocean area (5.1 mg/m2).[9]

Isn't Paul Erlich the guy who, in 1968, predicted that hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in the 1970s due to overpopulation?

> I think it is safe to say that the IPO was a total scam.

Precisely.

The fact that no one is responding with ideas tells you what you need to know.

Anyone remember Priceline Gas? I loved it, for the short period that it lasted...

No only most expensive, but most business unfriendly.

You live by the sword, you die by the sword. But we still need people who live by the sword.

> Populism may seem like it has come out of nowhere...

Only if you haven't been paying attention or are living in a bubble...

What a completely tone-deaf, condescending position.

Times in UTC would be more helpful.

You can keep an eye on their bitcoin wallet (or at least one of them): https://blockchain.info/address/13AM4VW2dhxYgXeQepoHkHSQuy6N...

When I'm trying to lose weight. I'll be honest, it's very hard to do without pigging out in the evening. It takes a lot of will power.

Just adding support to the two other posts. Cutting carbs. My personal experience is that losing weight is 2/3 achieved by how you eat.

Another personally effective method is intermittent fasting. I don't normally eat breakfast, so for me that means skipping lunch two or three times a week.

So Comey was personally conducting the investigation solely on his own?

James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on Monday that he still has not seen any evidence of any kind of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian foreign nationals.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-N.C., asked if Clapper's prior statement was correct, when he said on NBC that there was "no evidence' of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. When asked if that is still accurate, Clapper said Monday, "it is."

On NBC weeks earlier, Clapper said, "We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, 'our,' that's NSA, FBI and CIA, with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report."

Renters get absolutely screwed. Not only is there a mortgage interest deduction, I live in an area that has a special tax on rent. So not only do we pay property tax through the landlord (and probably a higher property tax for non-primary residences), we get a sales tax on top of that, being a tax on the tax.

Either end the mortgage interest deduction or allow rent to be deducted (at least in part).

That's why society needs rich people. They buy emerging tech first, then the tech drops in price as initial capital costs are recouped, manufacturing costs come down, and the tech improves.

Remember when LCD screens came out and very few people could afford them? We were complaining then too about how could people possibly afford this and who will buy it??!

Sure, but we've also been in a perpetual "state of emergency" since 1979: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/10/22/presi...

I think that if you looked at the scope of executive orders over time it would be instructive. Teddy Roosevelt executive orders were simple and limited.[1] Modern executive orders have very wide ranging consequences (such as allowing departments to share electronic surveillance without a warrant).

Examples include, "Authorizing Appointment of Translator in Bureau of Insular Affairs Without Examination," "Authorizing Reinstatement of Charles B. Terry as Clerk in Post Office Department Without Examination," "Amending Civil Service Rules to Except Commissioners of National Military Parks from Examination," etc.

It's not new. It's been happening to me since I started using Ubuntu in the 8.x range.

Including the original latin would have been more interesting.

My thought is something roughly the size of a large city state, or small regular state. Or the size of a US state. Or whatever the people of an area decide.

Which, of course, the NYT played its part in fanning the flames of war.

My uber drivers have been steadily dropping in quality, more often than not taking the wrong directions to my destination, despite the fact that the GPS right in front of them tells them where to go.

I've been using Lyft more and more lately. Drivers just seem.... better. And I don't mind tipping in the app.

BBM is not secure. Why would anyone use it?

No one seems to be talking about that fact that Trump can do these things because the Congress has specifically authorized the president to do so. It seems as though a massive amount of power in one person's hands is OK is some situations but not in others, depending on one's political persuasion.

And the list of countries is from Homeland Security's list of "countries of concern" compiled during the Obama administration. And signed into law by Obama himself.

Of course some will blast me as supporting Trump or supporting this ban. Not true.
