Tell you what, if Clinton gets indicted (just indicted, not even convicted) over her emails, I will give you $50. Redeemable in 1 Grant or 50 Washingtons, so you can make it rain.

Rent is a function of property prices (and property taxes too, but that’s heavily tied to price as well). It’s not the sole determinant, but it tightly constrains the rental market. If you have flat rental prices in Houston, then the property prices for similar domiciles in the same area were also flat or declining.

Haha, no. Get out of New York much? Because Rent control is effectively exclusive to the greater NYC area, a few cities in California (mostly metro SF-Oakland), and some parts of the DC metro.

Umm...no. First of all, you need to define what concrete you’re referring to. Because the shit the used to build your sidewalk is *not* the same stuff they use to build 600m tall skyscrapers.

Saab is trying to sell a very unstealthy and underpowered jet in the era of the F-35 (which is actually cheaper than the new Gripen NG by dome accounts...which is astounding). They will say a lot of things that everyone else is going to laugh at. This is one of those things.

The difference between “lord” and “master” isn’t gender neutrality. Its that they mean two distinct things in English. A lord is a member of the nobility, thus owns land. A master merely has dominion over another. Your lord is always your master, but your master may not be a lord. This why the phrase “lord and master”…

Except “master” is also neutral in English in a way that “mistress” isn’t. You wouldn’t bat an eye at a switch that reads “master control”. “Mistress control”, on the other hand, sounds like something out of Stepford Wives.

Are you talking about English, or Mandarin? Because Mandarin may not have a gendered term, and since “master” and “lord” come from English/European concepts of nobility (specifically feudalism) you’re not likely to even have a direct translation because Chinese don’t have European concepts of nobility. They have…

1) factory reset.

A defective CPU would manifest itself as either random hard crashes of the whole phone or (more likely) that it gets really hot and slows down after any amount of use. It wouldn’t lag randomly. And, honestly, it’s really, really rare to have a broken CPU in the real world. Very few defects are subtle enough to get…

Factory reset? Sometimes OS updates bork your phone like that. I’ve seen it since eclair. Inexplicable lag and shit battery life, usually.

That’s a silly statement. Why? Let me put it this way: if you were to place an order for an F-35A today, when do you think it will actually be delivered? In about 3 years. Which is why the 2019 price (which is due on delivery) is a lot more important than whatever the USAF paid when it ordered the Hill jets in 2012…

No...you underestimate how awful Rainer has been. Unemployment Illinois was actually starting to catch up with the national average. It went a bit below 6% and trailed the whole country by only .4%. Then he got elected, then he started trying to be the Scott Walker of The South, and it’s actually climbed back to 6.5%…

Nothing in the movie dispels it either. The only crime fighting Batman did in BvS was ancillary to figuring out how to take down Superman.

I figured it was more “ROTC dweeb” than “nerd” but point taken.

Its the one surface ship in the Navy specifically designed for land attack, the one thing the Navy does more than anything else in wartime.

Zumwalt was designed to have an acoustic signature no greater than the Los Angeles class submarine, which was the premiere attack sub in the world from the mid 70s to the mid 90s. So pretty damn stealthy, though you’d have to keep the thing under 5kts (probably) to be that quiet. Due to the denser water found at…

It is not ridiculous to compare different fields of inquiry just because one field is more easily quantified. Particularly in an informal conversation like this.

Not bad. Half of programming is if/then statements. The other half is just looping/waiting for something to happen. Even today.

Your own source is quite dismissive of what you’re advocating. Christ-mythers exist, as do climate deniers and ufologists. That doesn’t mean any of them are taken seriously.
