In addition to all the other stuff, I'll add that one thing employers like to see, in fact, it's one of the Official and simple metrics about whether a man will be successful in life, is that you got this one job straight out of s

Indeed, I can't disagree with anything you say. But here's something that instead of entirely delegating, that at least for me is "hands on work": teaching (note also huddo121's recommendation that your formally c

Well, you can always simulate this at home ^_^; my recent lifestyle changes (buying and renovating a home built in 1910, i.e. I'm cash poor right now) have resulted in my eating one of a variety of tasty Asian instant noodle dishes for

Nor do I think some calculus balancing good posts versus bad posts is being done by the mods. It is, though, based on ... dang's comments I think, in a previous incident. They to date don't appear to believe that I "consist

Indeed they do, the national ACLU proper is a 501(c)(4) like the NRA, and both have 501(c)(3) charities for stuff that fits with and is legal to do under those constraints. E.g. the NRAs' does pro-bono legal work and the other "

Classic NTP is hardly the only game in town. For example, see the NTPsec work in progress: https://www.ntpsec.org/ which I'll probably transition to someday, maybe even get an el-cheapo GPS receiver now that I'm

Good point, and for that matter, a Dark Pattern they could decide is a bad idea (especially if it's not authorized at a high enough level) would be a lot better than a regression to the mean, which is much harder if not impossible to

Yeah, I don't do 1-Click (e.g. didn't start Prime until 2 years ago), and I've seen that sort of thing on my consolidated orders when I check out. Sometimes I can get it isolated to one of the items in my cart, although it

Another possibility is that 1 and 2 day shipping gets you put in different queues for available stock; if they don't have enough Exploding Kittens (?!?!?!!!) on hand right now to fulfill all 1 and 2 day orders, they're obviously g

Sorry, but you don't get to define what the Alt Right is, the members of it have that privilege. Any reason you don't show us the respect of self-identity that you, at minimum, desire from others for your identity ( https:/

Direct replacement of a citizen or permanent resident employee with an H-1B visa holder is technically illegal. Weasel word because up to now, the DoJ has not seen fit to prosecute such cases. Per Wikipedia, it started in 1990, thanks to

We don't know that. But we remember. Microsoft will have to continue to be a good citizen for years, probably decades , before we trust them again. Although it would be churlish and counterproductive to not give them their due for w

Thanks for your boost to my point about freedom of speech, but mine was more narrow, i.e. almost all large groups of people acting in concert form corporations for all the usual reasons. Exceptions include institutions that far predate cor

He's hardly the only one, see e.g. Sessions, his pick for AG, which will allow them to crack down on the white line illegal uses of H-1B visas without any need for new legislation. You're mistaking talking about it with the press

That doesn't work when it comes to states with even SYG laws. Really??? Evidence, please, for I'm not aware of this being a serious problem, and this is one of my domains of semi-expertise. As in, nowadays with the changes i

This has happened in the United States during the AIDS scare of the 80s. Hospices, hospitals, and individual medical staff refused to treat AIDS patients. Were you, you know, actually around for this "scare"? It wasn't a &q

So that's why the IRS went after them, instead of the Koch brothers? No, not even close. It was the first serious, spontaneous, "modern era?"; let's say, 21st Century grassroots reaction to the crimes of our ruling clas

Note also how poorly the government protects so many of its crown jewels of data. Like those OPM security clearance records. And need I mention Mr. Snowden, or Sidney Blumenthal, who didn't hold any sort of clearance, cutting and pa

While I doubt it will give us any joy on this issue, Trump's presidency will be a failure unless he successfully takes on the Uniparty establishment that operates, or rather not, like this. I don't think his vanity will allow him

Hillary comfortably won the popular vote Which is Not Even Wrong, for it implies the unknowable counterfactual that if Trump had been running a campaign for the popular vote, he wouldn't have won that. E.g. lots of people don't
