Is this satire? The warnings of a recession are based on evidence and facts, not some fear-mongering. The Trump tax law injected a lot of stimulus into the economy and the upcoming tidal wave of growth was supposed to mostly offset the massive budget deficits from tax cuts. In case your weren’t aware, we are not

Lloyd doesn’t appear to make any gestures or movement which deceives or distracts the defender, which the rule appears to require. See page 20 of the FIFA link above that illustrates a similar situation. My understanding is that Lloyd needed to touch the ball or obstruct/deceive/distract the defender, which impacts

Trademarks (words and designs) don’t have to have any significance to the product or service attached to them. Names that are fanciful or arbitrary tend to be stronger trademarks once you establish the brand because the mark is not descriptive and less likely for a number of companies to have similar names.

Why not just say things that are annoying should go away? It’s weird that people always focus on kids and it’s probably people they aren’t in a position to defend themselves. Humans in general can be pretty reprehensible and it’s not unique to any demographic.  There are some people who can’t stand Sports is Life at

Suggesting debt is always bad is an extremely limiting belief. Having negative net financial worth is not good. Borrowing money (taking on debt) responsibly, however, can be useful and can put you in a better long-term financial position than if you never incurred debt. I’m not talking about borrowing for frivolous

Is there a difference using the trademark as a noun v. a pronoun? Apple seems to refer to iPhone and iPad, not the iPhone phone or iPad tablet and definitely not the iPhone or iPad.  Maybe it’s the same reasons Honda refers to it as Passport and not the Passport or the Passport crossover SUV.  

You keep saying “might” be effective when the evidence without a doubt shows a reduction in your likelihood of being infected with the influenza virus. There will always be variance in the effectiveness of the flu vaccine from year to year due to the prevalence of specific strains as well as mutations. Saying

I replied to your earlier post, but you seem to agree that the vaccine is effective (between 8% and 50% of the time) so I’m not sure why you’re calling for evidence. The flu vaccine is not a magic bullet and I don’t see anyone asserting that it is one, but, by your own admission, it reduces your risk of contracting

Not all are relevant, but you can figure it out.

Dude, it’s not hype. There are thousands of studies on the safety and efficacy of flu vaccines. People can make money off of it and it can be a good thing for society. The numbers are not wild guesses. Reported flu data is tracked extensively.

The pressure cooker usually imparts a certain consistency to food that isn’t ideal sometimes, but am willing to accept given the time gain and moisture retention. Baked potatoes, however, are great in the IP and are always moist and fluffy inside as you mentioned, which isn’t always the case when baking in the oven.

I never said I would do it when you were there. Keep using cutesy words about taking away someone’s livelihood. Do you put notches in your desk for each confirmed “term”? And yet you lecture about not being a prick.

If you used the word “term” when firing me, I would likely drop a deuce on your desk.

It’s the “funding secured” part of the tweet that is in question. If the funding was in fact secured, the taking Tesla private plan would be pretty far along, which is why the market reacted like it did. Saying “funding options being explored” would be different and less definite.

I don’t think King’s Island allows assault rifles on roller coasters either.

Sure, but we have a law in place to prevent such discrimination and I think most people would agree that genetic discrimination is wrong. Of the two parties in the U.S., one is more likely to remove such laws/regulations to allow private companies to exploit such things. People need to vote!
