I didn't forget that, Jo. Did you not read my several comments above that distinguish between "unaffiliated" and "democrat" (a basic distinction which eludes you) and that pointed out Republican Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos did this in 2008 when all one had to do was temporarily change one's registration and then change it back? He laid out the exact game plan for you guys to follow, Jo. You're afraid of what your own minister of radio propaganda perpetrated. Turn-about is fair play, I guess. LOL. | 0 | en |
Can somebody tell me how the city is going to solve the problem of illegal camping long Chester Creek? I rode my bike up the trail last night and then went to this meeting. There were several camps where by the sounds coming out I'd say serious partying was going on. At the open house there were a lot of media. The most positive thing I saw was a lot of big dogs. Big dogs will deal with the negative element. They'll be more effective than the city government. | 0 | en |
'Uppity' has had a diverse history of being used in both racial and class contexts but it has often enough been used as synonymous with being 'snotty', arrogant, self-indulgent, unwarrantedly judgmental, or getting on a high horse about nothing.
Any of those would seem to apply to Dante1969's usage of the term. A bit of snark directed at FN blood quantum racists does not imply anything about telling them to mind their place or accept a lower place in society. It merely holds them to the same standard as the rest of us.
Alternatively, and given how much their people have endured, I would be prepared to have Canada legally endorse FN blood-descent racism for band privileges and residency. I entirely appreciate their awareness of the need to preserve their heritage and of the connection between that heritage and the endurance of living aboriginal peoples. Good luck to them. | 0 | en |

The PS4 is the most terrible piece of garbage I have ever had the horror to experience. This thing is bottom of the barrel trash. And I am dumbfounded that there isn’t more of an uproar about it on the internet. Sony is an absolute disgrace in every way, and I will never buy another product from them again.
Why, you ask? On boxing day 2014, I saw that EB Games were having a sale on Sony PlayStation 4. They were including 5 games in a bundle that was slightly better value than before christmas. I’d been thinking about getting the PS4 for a while so I decided it was time, I figured I’d spoil myself, get together all of my Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) games and console take it in to trade them, and walk home with a brand new shiny console for hours of entertainment.
I should be honest, I don’t actually play console games much at all. I’ve had a console of some sort for the last 20 years+ of some sort or another, including NES, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, and most recently PS3. I came to a realisation a few years ago that my interest in console games had completely waned. I only play once in a blue moon, or if a friend comes round we might have a laugh with some Grand Theft Auto carnage.
I also have come to believe that PC gaming is far superior than console gaming in every way.
I actually always hated the PS3 OS and the interface. I found it ugly, clunky, and just shit. The load time, system updates, and everything about it just feels terrible. The only reason I have ‘stuck’ with Sony is because I didn’t want to support Microsoft in the gaming world.
So I wasn’t extremely excited about the PS4, I more just wanted to get it to upgrade to the latest version. I figured I could get rid of my old PS3 which was the 60GB version – that was the very loud, very large, dust collecting, backwards compatible console (that I never ONCE played a ps2 game on). Also when I say “loud” I mean, this thing sounded like a plane was taking off under my TV. This thing was also as heavy as a fucking car. I’m not exaggerating. If you kicked this piece of shit as hard as you could, it would break your foot and not affect it in any way.
I also figured it would be a good “media centre” update as well, I’d be able to watch movies on it just as I could on my PS3, but being the latest version, obviously it would be even better.
So I went into the store and traded in 11 PS3 games and my console, I was offered a measly $90 trade in value – a bit of a kick in the guts, but I continued onwards.
The pre-pubescent, pimply faced sales kid told me that “You have to pay to access the PlayStation Network. You have to pay to play online at all”. I stopped. My jaw dropped
“Are you fucking serious?” (There are about 30-40 people in queue, close by & listening in a boxing day rush).
“I know, that was my first reaction too, but <13 yo sales guy pitch here>“.
“That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard”.
Really, Sony charging for access to their online world is SO fucking outrageous it is disgusting. They have the worst online network, it’s been HACKED numerous times, it’s down all the time, it’s just inferior to EVERY alternative in EVERY way. Just using PC games you have a FAR wider audience, and way cheaper entry.
Alas I’d come this far, so I continued.
Then the rodent sales guy asks if I want a second controller:
“Sure” I said.
“Oh but it doesn’t come with a cable.”
“… Wait… What? Did you just say… the controller… doesn’t come… with a cable? I… I just… How?”
“Nope haha, I recommend you buy this docking station power charger too so you can charge them both. That way you don’t need to have the console turned on to charge the controllers. The controllers die really quickly because of their led display”
“That sounds… Really terrible. How could they not include a cable? Don’t they just use the normal USB/micro USB cables? Don’t worry, I already have them”
“Oh no they don’t use those cables” (they do)
“Can you just sell me a normal cable?”
“Sure. Oh wait, we don’t have any left sorry”
“Oh god…”
So after being forcefully up-sold with Sony’s shamefully terrible products and non existent business ethics, I continued.
Eventually after further disappointment being told I couldn’t trade any of the ‘bundled’ games for less shit games, I walked out of there having spent way more than I expected, and feeling absolutely terrible about the whole ordeal.
So I got home, plugged it all in, went to enter my account/profile details and connect to PlayStation Network. ERROR. That’s right, the PlayStation Network was down. The “online” network that Sony have the arrogant nerve to think they can charge for, was not accessible on christmas, or the next 3-4 days – the peak holiday time, when the entire PlayStation world would have been wanting to play. You couldn’t come up with a more ridiculous story – really. They are just a fucking laughing stock.
Turns out it was due to constant DDOS attacks. I’m not going to go into the reasons etc (google it), but I have to be honest, I’m GLAD that they got attacked. They deserve to be absolutely caned for their disgusting service. Having said that, if they’re going to charge for their pathetic appalling network, they are OBLIGED to have better security security, backup measures and alternative plans for these situations, otherwise what the fuck do they deserve our money for?
So far everything about this piece of shit was just terrible. For days I tried entering in my credentials (the console doesn’t save your email address/password, so every single time I had to re-enter it again using the painfully slow controller/keyboard method – just a small example of why the playstation UI sucks). But after a few days the network finally came back online. I tried to connect, ERROR. I googled it – and Sony’s genius engineering team advised “reboot your machine” (fucking idiots). I rebooted my machine, it did nothing. I still got an error. Eventually I found an obscure manual network setting adjustment which was NOT specified by Sony but rather some clever punter. Finally I was online.
After exploring some of the options/settings I was baffled as to why there is so much focus placed on social networking and sharing etc. As if anyone cares about sony and their social media – these guys are completely deluded.
Anyway I played GTA5 a few times. It was as lacklustre as it was on the PS3, but now some of the voices and sounds seemed to come out of the controller. I don’t find this adds ANY immersion whatsoever – it’s actually confusing, and to be honest I’d rather it just not happen, with the benefit of a longer battery life for the shithouse controllers.
Finally a few days later I had a friend coming around and we were going to settle in and watch a movie, so I grabbed my USB with a legally obtained video to watch, and plugged it into the console. Only to discover that the PS4 is unable to play ANY videos copied onto it via USB or any other means. I could not believe it. A major part of my reason to have a console at all was to act as a ‘media centre’. I didn’t even bother to look up this functionality because I just assumed it would be included – why wouldn’t it? I was absolutely dumbfounded and disgusted. What an outrage. I was also stabbing my own eyes with forks in frustration.
On googling responses on the internet I found a range of varied opinions. But as with all gaming topics, you have these strange retarded ‘fanbois’ who stand by their console/platform/game/developer of choice no matter how much they are blatantly and obviously not living up to expectations.
At this stage I just find the whole thing comical. To wrap it up – if you haven’t bought a PS4 yet, don’t do it. Just don’t. It’s a fucking piece of shit. I’ll sign off with a concise list.
Why the PS4 is shit
Overly expensive
You have to pay to access the PlayStation Network (to play any online games)
You can’t play any videos copied to the console. It’s no longer ANY use as a media center.
No flash support on the browser at all
Second controllers don’t come with cables.
Terrible wide impacting bug where the unit will beep and spit out discs randomly for no reason, in mid game or will even try when discs aren’t in there. Sony encourage users to send units back for repair.
Shit games.
The PlayStation Network was down over the peak holiday period.
Sony’s security is known to be appalling, and is a laughing stock worldwide. Peoples sensitive private information has been hacked many times.
Sony’s OS and UI are fucking terrible.
The physical console is eye hurtingly ugly.
The buttons on the unit are pathetic – hard to press, impossible to see the icons on the buttons.
The “improvements” of this console are almost all SHIT. The controller voices/audio/lights are just battery wasting gimmicks. The focus on “social networking” and “sharing” is just rubbish that no-one cares about.
The community is terrible.
You can NEVER, EVER ever change your gamertag/PSN Name.
No release button for ejecting stuck discs. Instead it has a retarded loose “not normal” screw that is almost impossible to see, requires opening the machine and even then impossible to get at
Much, much more.
I’d love to hear your feedback or experiences. Thanks.
EDIT (November 2015):
Sony you had one job to do!! Let us put in a game and play the game. But no, Sony can’t even build a unit that is able to load a disc and play the disc without RANDOMLY spitting it out! There is a widely known bug with the console where it will randomly just start spitting out the disc in mid game. Or even if there is no disc in the console, it will sit there beeping TRYING to eject it. What the fuck? Seriously. Is it too much to ask this hideous piece of rubbish to not break across the board? Really – is that being greedy? I am absolutely baffled that this unit is so shit. But if that’s not enough, listen to Sony’s suggested fix – they say to turn it off and on again. (Wow, thanks Sony). And if that doesn’t work, send it in for repair! That is unacceptably outrageous! We don’t want to have to pack this thing up in safe packaging, pay for shipping to send it off, and then be without a PS4 for WEEKS – FUCK YOU! But worse still, if you look online you’ll find there is usually a repair you can do yourself (thanks for lying Sony). You open the top of the unit, that’s right, you actually have to pull the ugly thing apart by wrenching the top off revealing the disgusting innards, then there is a hidden screw – I mean it’s almost impossible to see, and you need a very thin long screwdriver to access it (which you’re unlikely to have), and then you need to turn it clockwise “a few times”… But it’s not a “normal” screw; it’s some weird loose piece of shit that doesn’t actually tighten. Couldn’t you have just used a goddamn button you utter retards? Incredibly after breaking apart my piece of shit and ramming screwdrivers into “not normal screws” and tightening the non-tightening screw, this actually worked for me. Fuck you PlayStation 4. | 1 | en |
Lets take a look at who cared about the military when I was in the Navy. Joined in January 1971 under delayed enlistment program. Boot camp in San Diego in June 1971, base pay for E-3 $180.90, Thanks to Nixon, Base pay for E-3 moved to $330.60. Except for an occasional larger raise, democratic congresses and presidents kept military raises to 2.5% or less when inflation was running at 10% or higher. The only party that did not cut our pay raises was the republican party. Democrats controlled the congress for my entire career and proved the military were not a priority of any type for them. The democrats add a whole lot of spending or other things that have nothing to do with military/veteran funding, just to get the republicans to vote against it so the democrats can falsely accuse republicans of not caring for the veterans/military. Republicans have done the same a time or two but nowhere near as much as the democrats do it. | 0 | en |

`I've listened to your comments and tried to find constructive ways to improve the article for all to enjoy, but clearly you have an entirely different agenda in mind. I never made a claim that this was my article you continue to assert. Instead, I transcluded an already excellent, public domain article into WP format and I cited the original article. I then expanded the article in areas where I knew interesting and relevant background was missing, and others in our community have already begun to do the same. Your views on this issue have already been adequately discussed in their entirety on the Village pump (policy). You made your assertions and the consensus viewpoint of the WP community is that: U.S. Government sources, including images and text, are a valuable resource for WP, should be used to the fullest extent, and that using the FBI material in its original form is not only appropriate, but even preferable in this case. I'm including the complete, unedited (and certainly not paraphrased) discussion in a new section on this talk page From the Village pump (policy) for all to view. == From the Village pump (policy) == Is it okay under IAR to create a Wikipedia article which is a verbatim copy of an identical article appearing on a U.S. government website, i.e., a website in the public domain? A recently added (May 5, 2007) Wikipedia article is a Wikified, word for word copy — both text and photos — of a 14-page article which appears on the FBI’s website at http://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/famcases/spyring/spyring.htm, titled Federal Bureau of Investigation, Famous Cases: 33 Members of the Duquesne Spy Ring. The recent Wikipedia article that was copied from that FBI website is Duquesne Spy Ring. The Wikipedia article originally carried the {USGovernment} template, but did not cite the current FBI article as the article’’s source. The word for word copying of the entire text and photos of a 14-page article in the public domain and inserting that copied article in Wikipedia seems to me (technically and ethically if not in fact) to be plagiarism, even though the work copied is in the public domain. If it is considered to be plagiarism, what can be done about effectively flagging readers that the copied article is a direct copy from another source? I think the text of the {USGovernment} template isn't adequate for this situation. :It's not plagarism, so long as it's indicated that the text came from somewhere, and was not just originally written. It's best not to do verbatim copies for NPOV reasons, but so long as the source is given, it's not terrible. - I agree that the standard text of the {USGovernment} template isn't adequate for this situation. Rather than say ``This article incorporates text from ...``, it would be much more accurate to state something along the lines of ``The original version of this article was copied from ...`` so that readers are clearly informed of the extent of the copying. To list the FBI website as a ``source`` clearly understates the copying. In the context of an article or paper, this would be akin to copying passages without showing them in quotes and merely listing the source in the bibliography. Almost everyone would consider that plagiarism. ::This bothers me... even if it is not plagiarism (ie even if we give credit to the cite where it is copied from) wikipedia should not simply copy another site. We should write original articles based on the information obtained in reliable secondary sources. I could understand basing the bulk of this article's information on the FBI site, but we should at least paraphrase it instead of copying it. I would love to flag it for improvement in some way, but I am not sure if there are any tags that apply. To be clear, the article always referenced the FBI as the source of substantial content and no claim to the contrary was ever made in the original document a URL was provided and the reference was: ``Much of this article comes from FBI documents and photos released in 1985 under the freedom of information act and in the public domain.`` What does seem to be controversial is the quantity of public information re-used in this Wikipedia article. However, it is not illegal, unethical, and even uncommon for a private entity to re-issue and re-sell public information, sometimes adding value and sometimes not (e.g., [[Natio | 0 | en |

Hmm, interesting ideas. I'm not sure about the women's prison part, I haven't kept up with DOC capacity or planning and in general I would rather close prisons than open new ones. They are a huge revenue drain at a time when we cannot afford to operate the ones we already have.
The notion of closing the JC facility makes sense either way. Continuing to operate it just because we spent money to build it is throwing good money after bad. Other states spend a quarter of the amount per patient that this facility budgeted. We need to give it the ax, and soon. | 0 | en |

Self-proclaimed paranormalist Uri Geller, the famously debunked “psychic” who “predicted” Donald Trump‘s 2016 victory because he has 11 letters in his name, has found a new way to get attention.
He says he will “telepathically” stop British Prime Minister Theresa May from following through with Brexit.
He plans to transmit his psychic energy into May’s brain at the “very mystical time” of 11.11 in the morning and evening every day from a secret location near his home in Israel. He will visualise her signing a document revoking article 50 and, separately, he will also visualise her deciding to hold a second referendum — but this, he says, is his “second choice”. … He has already successfully penetrated May’s mind, he added, when she visited his home three years before she became prime minister. “I bombarded her mind to be the prime minister — and she became the prime minister,” he said.
Uh-huh… sure. These so-called “psychics” all work the same way. Geller plans to take credit if Brexit doesn’t occur — pay no mind to the million people who marched against Brexit yesterday — and he’ll come up with some rationalization if Brexit ever happens. And his predictions are crazy enough — and his lies so brazen — that they’re bound to get media attention.
The Guardian published two articles about his claims in two days, without a single voice of reason in either one. That’s a disservice to readers, who deserve at least one sensible voice in each piece saying he’s full of shit.
It’s telling that the man who claims he has the power to stop Brexit did absolutely nothing about it in 2016 when the vote occurred. Imagine having the mental power to change the course of Brexit but allowing the nation to go through three years of chaos first before letting everyone in on your abilities.
The Guardian didn’t mention that either.

One of the best tactics so-called researchers have used to conclude that fully one-fifth of college women will be sexually assaulted is to vastly expand the definition of what it is.
A new study, conducted at Rutgers University, relies heavily on this tactic to stoke fear and encourage witch hunts of college men across the country.
Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown dissects the study, noting the definition of "sexual assault" and "sexual violence" included everything from "remarks about physical appearance" and "persistent sexual advances that are undesired by the recipient" to "threats of force to get someone to engage in sexual behavior, as well as unwanted touching and unwanted oral, anal, or vaginal penetration or attempted penetration."
There's an ocean of difference between someone saying you look good today and someone physically pinning you down against your will. To include both under the category of "sexual assault" is just ludicrous, and certainly not a serious way of studying the issue.
"So what have we really learned here?" Nolan Brown asked. "That one in four female undergrads experienced something between rape and catcalls before coming to Rutgers; one in five female Rutgers undergrads experienced something between forced vaginal penetration and unwanted kissing at the hands of another student-or-not-student, somewhere in the universe, since starting college; three percent of students were perhaps physically threatened, perhaps mildly pressured into sexual activity; and four percent of students have been subject to something between forced oral, vaginal, or anal penetration and an unwanted caress while they were either asleep, totally passed out, or had had a few beers."
The Rutgers study comes on the heels of a new University of Oregon study also purporting to show that one in five college women have been victimized. That study is based a similar 2014 study by the same researcher, whose methods were flawed enough that her own university distanced itself from the survey he created.
Jennifer Freyd, the researcher, is back with a study little changed since 2014, purporting to find the same number of women as victims. To be clear, the women who took the study aren't necessarily claiming they were ever victims — Freyd and her researchers determined that they were victims based on questions answered. Freyd's only acknowledgement that there might be a flaw to her methodology is that factors like "poor memory" might make the numbers lower than they should be — that is, many women might have forgotten they were assaulted.
Of course, this study will be used as a model for other schools, meaning again and again the myth that one in five women will be sexually assaulted will continue. That myth will be used to continue to claim that due process rights are an impediment to justice, leaving young campus men vulnerable to witch hunts.
As I've written before, replicating a flawed study does not make it true. | 1 | en |

Q:
Is mains conditioning necessary to protect equipment?
I've had a request for a mains conditioning unit on a system that has run off mains for years with no problems. I've never heard of any surges or oddities like that and so I'm wondering what the value of mains conditioning in protecting equipment really is.
A:
It isn't just about protecting equipment, it is about the requirement of consistent power to get good quality sound. Lots of processing in sound is based around relation to a standard power level to determine how strong a signal is. If you don't have well conditioned power, that level can change... a LOT!!! Particularly if it is fluctuating greatly you can end up with significant changes to how a sound is processed by equipment and result in unpredictable results and/or excess noise floors.
There is also always the possibility that a major surge could damage gear, but that's not the main concern at all. Major surges are a very rare occurrence, though they can occur and be devastating to gear, but their rarity really makes them not the primary concern. Sound quality and predictable, level power is.

The facts say the exact opposite. According CDC 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey reports on the lifetime prevalence of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner gives the following rates by sexual orientation of the partners:
61.1 Bisexual women
43.8 Lesbians
37.3 Bisexual men
35.0 Heterosexual women
29.0 Heterosexual Men
26.0 Homosexual Men
To repeat that is violence by one partner on another. It is pretty clear which is the safest relationship for women. And for men that matter. | 0 | en |
Why is he saying he is a Jew? So?? What does that matter here? Trump just wants us to get along and stop all of this crap.
I hate it when people try to shove their race, religion, culture, gender, sexual proclivities, etc. in your face to try and prove that they are "right". None of that matters here. Being Jewish doesn't make you more right, or wrong.
This country has laws, and they should be enforced. What happened hundreds of years ago was then, not now. Idiots are everywhere and every when. That doesn't mean you get to rip down everything that happened years ago.

I personally do not want to hear from more people per se, but would like better letters.

Those with original suggestions, educational missives not just opinions may not be able to flesh out and share ideas for change and may refrain from writing paltry 200 word LTEs.

An idea: allow letters up to 250 words but publish only longer ones that make a substantial point or opinion that needs aired.
Pls. consider this recommendation! And reduce font size on Sun. editorial, voila, more space for citizen journalism. Since RG is now a public benefit corporation they should get more creative by inviting in citizens. | 0 | en |

Don't forget, it is always you bringing up my information, which was originally offered in good faith...something you wouldn't understand. It is YOU who can't seem to let it go. Interesting that you don't seem to be bothered by anyone else's, though....just mine. If you are bored with it, one is left to wonder why you continue to bring it up? It's why I wonder if you're jealous?

Well of course the guy who tries to justify the murder of innocent children by terrorists will claim that facts about the terrorists are "prejudice." Meanwhile more Muslim attacks are happening as you make your disgusting claims. Let me guess, the terrorist in Brussels today was just trying to provide "alternative fuels" for the trains, right? No malice in his heart whatsoever, right? Or did the train station do something to him to justify his murderous intent? Maybe the trains are prejudiced? | 0 | en |
Well, Spring, thank you for the grudging "like." However, just so you know, my single tenant has rented from me for 20 years, with a lease, under Landlord and Tenant Board rules. If you know anything at all about the laws governing annual rent increases, you'll quickly see that he has no grounds at all for complaint. In the future the same will be true of singles (or families) who start to rent now but remain in the same place. | 0 | en |
== Sandbox proposal for Wikipedia: Belarusian geographical names == I just read and I applaud you for undertaking this effort. However, while I appreciate the idea of using the romanization as used by the Belarusian government as the basis, the transliteration/transcription seems to be inconsistent between the various layers of government. That is, the website of the central government uses other romanizations than the websites of the regions. For instance, the website of Gomel Region uses Yelsk and Oktiabrskiy, while the website of the central government uses Elsk and Oktyabrskii. In addition, in your sandbox I find forms that are used on neither website. You write Svietlahorsk while both the central government website and the Gomel Region website use Svetlogorsk. If this proposal is to have any chance of being adopted, I think it should as much as possible try to use the same source for most of its transcriptions. The central government website seems the most logical choice to me. However, unfortunately, I cannot say that I am completely satisfied with the romanizations used by that website. Here's a few reasons why: * the transcription of iotation / palatalization is wildly inconsistent: :* in some names, iotation/palatalization is not marked: Elsk, Svetlogorsk; :* in others, iotation/palatalization is marked using the letter y: Oktyabrskii, Kostyukovka; :* in yet others, the letter i is used for the same purpose: Liozno; :* in still others, the letter j is employed: Marjina Gorka; :* sometimes, in one part of the word iotation/palatalization is marked, while it isn't in another part of the same word: Myadel (Cyrillic , pronounced ). * the ending is inconsistently romanized. Compare Oktyabrskii and Pervomaiskiy (as a bonus, observe that the first i in Pervomaiskiy is a transcription of , which on the rest of the map is usually transcribed as y''). Observing these inconsistencies, I am not convinced that using these romanizations is the solution. While BGN/PCGN may not be perfect, it is at least consistent. If this, this and this are the alternatives, I think we should stick to our existing policy of using BGN/PCGN. - | 0 | en |

Growing up it was downright sinful to read the Bible on one's own--or even with
(ESPECIALLY with) guidance from scholars or fellow laity--because it could lead to interpretations counter to Church teaching. Best to have Fr. O'Brien tell us what it means, maybe on the same Sunday he tells us what other books we cannot read or movies we cannot see or....There was distrust of instruction that allowed for personal learning and angst "outside the lines." Bill's call to "wrestle with God's word" was not one I ever heard. There was fear we might end up thinking like Mark Twain: "It ain't the parts of the Bible I don't understand that bother me, it's the parts I DO understand." This sounds like an ancient, pre-Vatican II Church, but fear of education OF the laity and BY the laity remains, especially in Bible studies. We cannot leave determination of metaphor, simile, allegory, myth, etc to laity (women??), Presbyterians, and professors-- better to have a male canon lawyer tell us. | 0 | en |

So about $12 million harvested so far. That is about 5 times less/pound than 1990s level at $2.50/ pound. Hardly seems worthwhile when you look at the number of persons fishing and processing, amount of equipment, fuel etc.... Are the buyers making a killing? Just remember, while Alaska continues to loose market share to fish farmers around the world and watching the price of fresh wild caught fish plummet; it was the State and commercial fishing interest that fought and continue to fight fish farming along our huge coastline. Remember the vast (majority) number of permits are held by non-residents. Most of the processors and their employees are foreign. And some refer to this industry as "Jobs for Alaskans". Some Alaskans anyway. I wonder if the fish tax will even pay the management, enforcement and marketing the State does for the industry. Maybe. Well good for the Bristol Bay fisherman.

That famous pizza restaurant discrimination never actually happened, btw. It was a hypothetical question that brought out a lot of hate toward the owners for something that never happened in real life. If you can find some pizza place that really refused to actually cater a specific gay wedding feel free to cite the source. Otherwise it was hate against basically a thought crime, not actual discrimination.
As for what would be defined as artistic expression I would expect the judges to provide a guiding definition as they did in Hobby Lobby. I don't recall hundreds of claims of "me too" over that.

I'm reeling from time spent at First Things.

(Most of the comments were deleted by the moderators, so the mad circus is lost to the public.) Trump's rhetoric has been feckless and incendiary.

Actually it makes perfect sense at any investment dollar level. If you had only $50k would you hold 30 different stocks? Of course you wouldn't, so why would you with $1 million?
I started out with $22k from my company RRSP after they closed back in the 90s and purchased 3 stocks. Over the years of day trading I've never held more than 15 stocks and typically hold 8 to 10 stocks on average.
As for SFIs question, diversity was never meant for individual investors. It came from large retail and institutional investing. At some point CFPs and other investment advisors starting pushing the diversity notion onto individual investors. Its also not just a matter of commissions, you don't mitigate any risk holding 30 stocks. If the market crashes all 30 stocks will decline in value.
There are really just two risks, market crashes which you can wait through. The other is buying penny or speculative stocks. Diversification in 30 or more stocks doesn't protect you in either instance. | 0 | en |

First, state your credentials. It’s okay to be a woman, but not a black woman. Their lived experiences are immaterial and can be dismissed as merely anecdotal. Make it clear that you are not racist or sexist, you are merely concerned about their plight. What plight? Well, pick one. Or several. Marriage, children, lack of the above, too much education, not enough education, welfare, whatever you think will sell. It only matters that you highlight their troublesome natures. Whatever it is, you must be sure to make it clear that they aren’t like other women. They are failing to perform in some way that affects the whole of society, even if you can’t quite explain how or why their personal lives are public property. Further, rely heavily on the idea of research that shows the problem is a problem. Never mention exactly when that research was done, or who were the subjects of it. Too much context may unnecessarily complicate the conversation.
Utilize stereotypes whenever possible, preferably ones that tie into the Mammy, Jezebel, or Sapphire tropes. Describe black women in ways that play up their sexuality and remove their humanity. After all they are Other, so their skin is a food stuff, the space between their thighs is mysterious, and they have never ever been innocent. No need to mention virginity or purity, even when speaking of black female infants, your focus must be on their sexuality. If you are speaking of black mothers make it clear that they need guidance, financial support, or salvation. What salvation? Well that all depends on whether they work too little and thus are on welfare, or work too much and thus are neglecting their children. There is no point at which they can balance work and family, because again they are Other and that is not possible for them. They are emasculating and thus unworthy of relationships, or the key to being masculine with their all knowing sexuality that is present from birth. Unrapeable, they can be trusted to raise any children but their own, and are sexually available until they become sexless.
They exist to be support systems, whether for men of all colors or women of every color but black. No need to mention their needs, hopes, dreams, or concerns. They have none, even if they do occasionally speak of themselves as real people with feelings. Their voices are too loud, too uneducated, or simply too aggressive. They are always angry about something, but their feelings aren’t real so they don’t matter. Be sure to specify how reasonable you are in the face of their unreasonable behavior. Write of how you studied them at a safe distance, while proclaiming that some of your closest friends are black women. No need to know anything about those close friends, but their names since all that matters is that you have them as proof that you know your subject, and are not racist or sexist.
Contrast them with women of other races, always making sure to highlight that other women are real women, while black women are simply black. Feel free to make blanket statements about their religious beliefs, educational levels, income levels, and family dynamics. All of it is true because you say it is, and you are the expert in black women, not any actual black women. If they are offended by your words, remind them of your credentials and refuse to engage in a conversation with them until they can be less emotional. Point to their tone as a reason to doubt the veracity of their experiences. After all they are only black women and thus they know nothing, own nothing, and are worth nothing but what you say they are. | 1 | en |

I have a friend who got his medical weed license and there isn't much to it. He did it over a video feed with a doctor from Toronto. It's almost just a formality now.
The truth is yes some people will be addicted to it but the numbers will be fairly low. These same people will have an affinity to become addicted to what ever drug they try. Yes that includes booze. So do you punish all people for the few that may become addicted? That's rather silly in this day and age because we also should have come to a conclusion that prohibition doesn't stop people from doing what they want to do. It just introduces a bad element into the mix.
So tax it, control it and keep it out of the hands of the bad guys. We have to star thinking smarter about addiction and drugs because this ridiculous war on drugs hasn't worked and all it's done is make some bad guys rich and given some good people a record. | 0 | en |

Photon-burst analysis in two-photon fluorescence excitation flow cytometry.
We studied the use of a dramatically reduced testing zone in combination with two-photon excitation and photon-burst analysis in high-throughput rare-event detection simulation using a modified flow cytometer. Two-photon excitation measurements were performed with a mode-locked titanium:sapphire laser. Fluorescence emission was measured with a photon-counting avalanche photodiode. Measured signal was analysed offline by autocorrelation and burst detection methods. Test samples were composed of full blood and orange fluorescent polystyrene nanospheres mixed in full blood. Results show that two-photon fluorescence excitation and time-correlation analysis provide a good signal-to-noise ratio for rare-event particle detection in a turbid sample environment. | 0 | en |
