You do know that only “complete” protein, i.e., with all required amino acids, come from animal meat and a very select few plants, mostly beans, don’t you?

Well, the rest of us can be smug that, but for modern availability of food, your decision to go without meat would mean you would, without question, be dead from lack of nutrition.

Except, that’s not really the question, is it? That’s a pretty disingenuous question designed to race bait. Please don’t call yourself a liberal. I am a liberal. Many equate liberal with intelligence. Don’t devalue the word because you either are purposefully disingenuous or lack the intelligence to understand why

I mean, as a percentage of their respective populations, there are less whites in prison than blacks. The intent was, absolute numbers are meaningless because the two population sizes are not equivalent.

Nope. It’s arrest rates and recidivism rates. We’re not talking about fractions of a percent difference, we’re talking about things like blacks, on average, commit more crimes than whites as a percentage of population. Literally, at least an order of magnitude difference.

Umm... while there may be more whites serving time, there’s less whites serving time than non-whites because of proportion.

Ah yes, the secretive racism of objective data.

Not necessarily. Only if you’re a non-exempt worker under the FLSA. Basically, if you’re a “learned professional” (attorney, doctor, teacher, architect, management, etc....) you can’t get over time, even if they pay you less than the $47k.

Hahha, yeah the stupid British accents in France. Odd to say the least.

I enjoyed Syndicate. I loved the Victorian era. Plus, the inclusion of the twins as playable characters was pretty awesome. I hated Unity because it was so boring. I don’t even think I finished the game.

You’re definitely not in the minority. In AC - AC III, the argument could have been made that the present was important (though, I’m pretty sure no one actually cared), but by AC IV, they had pretty much abandoned the pretext that anyone cared about the present.

All of that is what worries me about smartphone VR. I’ve used Oculus and the difference is night and day, and I’m not just talking about quality of image, but the experience itself. Oculus, and I was using DK2, was so much more immersive because of the head tracking. My vision mirrored my movements exactly.

One thing Google needs to address with Cardboard, and future VR endeavors, is the lack of head tracking. Gyroscopes and accelerometers are horrific at tracking. Using Google Cardboard for, well, just about anything now is almost a guaranteed nauseating experience. The problem is the stupid headset drifts too much.

It’s literally impossible to overcharge if what you mean by “overcharge” is charge a ridiculously high rate. You agree to the rate in the retainer.

So... I just talked with a friend who owns Gear VR and Oculus. I was talking about how shit Cardboard is because of the lack of head tracking, and he said Samsung tried to combat that, but it still fails abysmally as compared to Oculus, Vive, and PSVR.

You can exclude on Westlaw and Lexis. It’s a search term. You either use ^ or “not”. Again, you have not mentioned a single thing that isn’t done by Westlaw Next and Lexis Advanced. Do you use these tools? I do, every single day. I can promise you, there isn’t a single feature that has been mentioned that isn’t

That made me chuckle. I, literally, could not have put it better. Natural language results are indeed a disaster.

I really haven’t other than reading several articles. However, based on the articles, granted, they’re from non-lawyers, but it’s really all the information I have without actively investigating it, it seems identical to Westlaw and Lexis, just more heavily relying on “natural language” as opposed to search terms.

Wouldn’t even save time entering search terms. I’d have to tell the computer, in “natural language” what I want. That takes time. Whereas, when I use Westlaw or Lexis, I use proximity connectors. For example, if I want to find out whether debt basis needs to be restored before stock basis in an S Corp, I type in “debt
