If person A has a criminal record, it's quite possible he couldn't afford a good defense lawyer to be acquitted, and was better off taking the plea bargain than risking a worse conviction.

You're off by an order of magnitude. Trump received 62.98 m votes while Clinton received 65.85 m. That's a difference of 2.87 m votes not 13 million. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_president

I meant border control. I didn't realize those gates were operated remotely.

You can already pass customs in an airport through face recognition in the EU. I don't see it as much of a stretch for it to be extended to boarding.

I just tried some borscht a couple weeks ago. It was made by an older Russian gentleman at my church (in the U.S.). It was definitely a different flavor but it was pretty good.

I took German back in high school but I don't really remember anything about it. How can you read if you don't at least have an idea of what each word or phrase means? I'm a native born English speaker, and I occasionally hav

I don't mean to dismiss the idea. I think animals, farmed or not, should be treated humanely. My point is living or growing up on a farm where animals do get slaughtered can affect your perspective on the matter. I doubt a lot of peopl

Have I ever struggled with it? No, nature itself is violent where the only fittest and luckiest survive long enough to procreate. Death is the inevitable outcome of life. I doubt our chickens had any worse of a life than they would have out

See, I grew up on a small farm. We raised chickens that my father would butcher. He'd string one up, slit its throat and it'd die instantly. After it was bled we'd pluck the feathers off and then cook it for supper. There was

Is that gross or net revenue or income?

That sounds like quite an improvement over our system in the U.S. This budget standoff with a month long shutdown is a disaster.

I was referring to the 4th Crusade's siege and then sacking that crippled the Byzantine Empire.

The sacking of Constantinople was just an honest mistake. /s

Online retail isn't particularly meaningful. However, I enjoy the work and it pays well.

Aren't employers legally required to give you time off to vote? In roughly half of the states it's paid time off as well.

I partially agree with your general criticism. But as conservative in tech, I'm completely with the lefties on this one.

No one uses turn signals on them, and you never know when, where, or if someone is going to turn. It's haphazard maneuvering. 4-way stops are far more predictable and functional.

Stop signs are simple to navigate too. You stop, and then go when it's your turn.

As an American, I detest roundabouts. I've never encountered one with a light before.

Regarding taxes, are you talking about Chicago proper or the surrounding suburbs? I rented in North Chicago for a couple years and I don't recall any taxes other than local and state sales tax, and state income tax. Granted that's

They also will not take online orders during the Sabbath (i.e., Friday evening until Saturday evening). It's peculiar that they enforce it for online checkout. It's a quality website nonetheless.

Are you saying the home-made baklava was usually disappointing or the bought baklava was? The middle eastern ladies at my Orthodox parish make delicious baklawa.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the math. Are you suggesting that you spend only 1/26 of your after tax income, and save the hypothetical remaining 25/26?

Are you talking entry, low, mid, or high level compensation? Anecdotally, in the Midwest entry level is well below $100k. If you want to make $100k here, you have to be at least mid level and be at a company that values developers. Accordin
