...and yet, witness the fact that after your lease is done, you still have absolutely nothing to show for it.

Because when it comes to gigantic data mining operations disguised as retail companies, absolutely nothing means what you think it means.

Because something, something, Friedman, bullshit, bullshit.

Source please.  Not being facetious.  Seriously interested.

I keep waiting for quite possibly the dumbest fucking car fad to finally go away after 30 years...but certain people are truly committed to destroying perfectly usable cars.

Just take a hammer to it.  That’s the best tool ever made for anything that’s broken.

That’s the NY Senate, not the US Senate.

My money is on the Republicans simply pulling a “nothing to see here, show’s over” farce of a hearing.

For anyone who gets contacted about a debt that they know isn’t theirs, your number one weapon of choice is to demand a Proof of Debt Verification letter:

I do love it when people like you display your open ignorance for all to see. Maybe, instead of spewing your uninformed BS, you should actually attempt to learn something first. Particularly in regard to your racism argument. Was there racist anti-Japanese sentiment and propaganda? Yes there was. Were the Japanese FAR…

First thing I thought of--happy to see it’s at the top.

Talk to Charles Koch.   Believe it or not, CJ reform is a thing for him.

I mean, he’s probably right, but--as with Betamax--having a better technology doesn’t always guarantee consumer adoption.

And since Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries are just too heavy for long range EVs, their strategy was to let the industry mature Li-ion technology before diving in.

Nobody wins because nobody picked the one topping that beats all others by an astronomical margin: diced roasted green chiles.

It’s like losing money owning a liquor store.

The people who are supporting him are doing so precisely because he has zero interest in meaningful healthcare reform--or meaningful reform of any kind for that matter.

You wouldn’t believe the shit that gets passed along in corporate board meetings.

I would submit that in-state food isn’t as meaningful a marker of “local” as a mileage radius is.  For example, If you live in San Diego, and get your produce from just south of Oregon, it’s not nearly as local as produce that was grown in Tijuana.  When you live in New England, it becomes even more meaningless.

That’s fine. It doesn’t taste like soap to me.  It just tastes like the garbage that it is.
