You are also not particularly well informed. In fact, public sector jobs have been slashed considerably since the start of the recession - the exact opposite of what you are describing. The public sector is now a much smaller part of the workforce, and the private sector has been net-positive for months. Almost 100%…

For anyone (I am a short guy) looking for a more manageable bike without the pink crap, might I recommend the Sym Wolf? It's just a joy to ride—only 150cc, but built like a classic cafe racer, tuck down and you can pull it up to 75mph no problem.

So wait, legally posting publicly available information about sex predators* is okay, but publicly bragging about your sex predation while hiding behind a thin screen of dubious legality and anonymity is wrong? Jeez Gawkers y'all are such hypocrites.

Being a Republican for financial reasons means that you put the health of your pocketbook over the health and dignity of human beings. I know you are getting hit on all sides here, but seriously, fuck you.

I trust the random guy on the internet!

Now, this may be the PKDick-head in me talking, but I think they should mix it up. Some terrible situations, some good ones. You know, "Marine life is making an unexpected comeback across the coast of Scotland," "You just got a text from a guy/girl you want to hit up," something like that. That way, if the spam-bots…

Checked - he is the chairman of the Committee on Science and Technology Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight, a subcommittee of the main thing. Which is ... better?

It's probably way to late to get a comment noticed here, but it seems incredibly unethical to not mention that the one-child policy only involves about 1/3rd of the Chinese population—poor, urban, ethnic Han. Any minority, any rural population, and any well-to-do families are automatically exempt form the policy.…

Not merely serves, but chairs the damn thing, if I'm not mistaken.

You've never gotten five replies before? To anything? In decades? Damn son, that shit is kinda sad.

As a Jezefella, that upsets me.

Agreed. Also, we need to focus police exclusively on murder. After murder has been eradicated completely, we can bother stopping other crimes.

Just checked Verizon - all top level Android phones start at $199, or less, for 16 GB. There is not a single phone that costs more than the iPhone at the same storage level. Not one.

Maybe, but I think anemia was a symptom - when starving, your body has a really tough time storing iron, and typically vegetarians have fewer problems with iron intake than meat eaters.. Losing tons of weight, dry skin and hair, eczema, those are all classic "you need to eat a bunch of fat right now" symptoms.

This post is the best example of white privilege I have ever seen.

Holy shit, that sounds terrible! As a vegetarian of about a decade, maybe I can help. Stop thinking about protein. No one gives a shit about protein. Your problem, as far as I can tell, was basically that you were starving. Stop trying to be healthy. Think calories. Think fat. Let me help:

Asses. People sit on them. People have sex with them. Dogs smell them. Everyone has one. Facebook is like an ass. Lamps. KFC. Utility bills. These are the things that make us human. Assbook. You are not alone.

Nah, wind turbines are designed to run at steady wind speeds, and shut down entirely during storms. The big limitation is planetary gearbox design - you optimize it for a certain speed, and modulate blade angle/generation to keep it spinning that speed at all times. You could design a turbine to use hurricane-level…

$0.08 USD/kWh? Where the fuck do you live? But to answer your question, large-scale turbines are typically designed on a 7-year break-even model, taking into consideration rising electricity prices. They would not be going up by the hundreds of thousands if they were not profitable.

Really? Name one US-made gadget that compares to China-made iWhatnots in terms of quality. A single one.
