That's all you need to know. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...elf_566db525e4b0e292150e3f59?utm_hp_ref=crime
My mom quit smoking when I got asthma as a kid. Kinda wish I didn't have asthma, since it sucks, but I'll give her credit for stopping when she saw what it was doing.
I guess, what has he got to lose at this point? http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/14/us/bill-cosby-sues-accusers/index.html
So y'all know that ear piercing fad that's been all over Facebook about how it's supposed to help migraines? Turns out, at least in my experience, there's something to it. My mother in law had to go on long term disability then ultimately retire because of migraines, and has been barely functional long as I've known her. My wife has terrible migraines too. I suggested to my wife she try it out, worst case is it doesn't work and she takes the piercing out. A week in and neither of them have had any issues (used to be daily for both). Don't care if it's placebo or not, if it works it works.
Almost certainly the placebo effect, but I'm of the opinion that a decent chunk of the cases of frequent migraines are at least partially psychosomatic.
Yeah, her (in law's) fucked up marriage and the fact that she has lived next door to her parents since.... well, she still lives next door, and the insuing stress from that almost certainly has nothing to do with it. Nor does my wife's stress from having to deal with her stress for, oh, two decades or so. Nope, not a factor at all. But hey, whatever works. There's a lot of nerve endings there and if it helps, especially where prescription-grade, crazy-side-effect pharmaceuticals don't, I'm all for it!
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/15/u...-his-truck-ends-up-on-syrias-front-lines.html Guy in Texas trades in his work truck for a newer one, dealer says they will take off the decal, and doesn't. Dealer sells truck in auction. Truck ends up in Turkey, then the truck makes its way to Syria where ISIS mounts a AA gun on it, and the truck with the decals, which include a phone number makes it way onto the news.
I can't wrap my head around a situation where it makes any sort of economic sense for a used truck from Texas to end up in Turkey. How much does it have to cost to ship a pickup from Texas to Turkey? Is eastern Europe suffering from a massive truck shortage? How is this possibly a profitable system?
Yikes. My mom used to snip the address labels off the magazines that she took down to my dad's office lobby, because she used to say "you never know where they'll end up." Good advice.
About five years ago, I sold a high-mileage Toyota SUV on Cars.com because I got a much better offer than from the dealer. The guy who bought it was an auto broker in Florida, and I actually dealt with a work-at-home sales mom who lived near me in Georgia. They FedEx'd me a cashier's check, came to my house to get the title from me, and picked up the car on a car hauler. The car was loaded with other high-mileage SUV's. I talked to the broker the next day to follow up on something, and I asked him about it. He said they'll all go through an auction and likely end up in the middle east. I got more than the dealer offered, the broker got a piece, the sales mom got a commission, it went to auction, where the auction host got a cut, and so on. I have no idea how it can go through that many hands and be profitable.
I just reactivated my Netflix account for the first time since April. Homeland is great and all, but I can't stand the subplot about the daughter. She is basically my little sister, but somehow even more annoying.
Agree on that, for the exact same reason. I just started watching Mr. Robot last night. That show is good. Surprisingly good. Who knew that USA could put together a really good cyber-punk show that doesnt dumb down the dialogue with an overload of meaningless technobabble? Of course theyre going to take liberties for the sake of the show like the idea of blowing up a pipeline to fuck up Iron Mountain or whatever, but its not this:
https://www.theidiotboard.com/threads/mr-robot.254175/ Those shows have an effects department, and include computer tech guys who can create mock websites or various other things that look flashy onscreen. It would take the shortest of conversations with someone who knows something about programming or computer "stuff" (not me) to know that a line like "GUI interface using visual basic to track the killer's IP address" is meaningless. Either that was a placeholder line by the writer that didn't get corrected or the actual technical advisory was fucking with a producer. Which is hilarious.
I like to think that there's a room of really smart techies supplying this dialogue that are just seeing how far they can push the techno-babble bullshit meter before they get called on it. I imagine they're sitting around the room, slack-jawed, saying, "really?" after the show-runners just go with what they're given.
I am also inclined to believe this if only because the dialog is usually syntactically correct while also being nonsense, and that makes me think they're probably doing it on purpose.
You people know nothing about software development. When you double down on the interfaces (graphical use interface interface, as mentioned in the clip) using VB it allows you to actually see into The Matrix, and the people walking around are represented by their IP address.
It would've been better if Gary Sinise had turned around and said, "Why don't I create a gooey in your face, while Melina Can O' Cheese watches?"
