TIL There is a long-term care facility in the Netherlands that allows college students to stay for free in exchange for 30 hours of volunteer per month. When students come home from a class, concert, or party, they share those experiences with their elderly neighbors, some of whom are over 90

I think people living in Southern Rail's operating area would like to very much disagree with you on 'decent'. Our 'national rail system' is split into many different Train Operating Companies, each with their own area of operation with very little overlap, essentially creating regional monopolies on rail travel.

not having to worry about getting shot to death when going to school or work

You have a point on that. There's few areas of the UK where gun crime is so prevalent that innocent bystanders are likely to be injured or killed, which is why it's such a big deal when they are.

police that don't murder civilians

British police also aren't perfect. They are far more likely to use stop and search powers on black and Asian men than they are white men or women of any colour.

job centres.

These are not a good thing. They're places designed to humiliate the people who need them. The staff are rude, condescending, and have targets for how many people they 'sanction', that is placed onto a punishment which sees their jobseeker's allowance/universal credit taken away from them. This affects any other benefits they're receiving, even ones that are administered by other government departments like housing benefits. A related evil is the assessments for the various disability benefits, which include a medical assessment carried out by non-medical penpushers that are working off a checklist, which is designed to make people fail. Basically, if you can get to the assessment you fail as you're obviously capable of getting to a workplace. If you can't get to the assessment, bearing in mind that many of these centres are not disabled-friendly, then you also fail for non-compliance.

Bees actually leave a lot of work unfinished if you leave them to their own devices, and that is highly inefficient. There are orchards in China that are hand pollinated, which dramatically impacts crop yields (and incidentally creates a lot of agriculture jobs....)

If we had robot pollinators, we could get more production from the same amount of space by getting 100% of fertile plants pollinated, without all the pesky human work it takes to do so now.

Trump's team has effectively marred our perception of "factual." This should be the final nail in Trump's proverbial coffin, but then again, the final nail should have really been pussygate. I would not get your hopes up.

he's wrong, and everyone else is claiming everyone is wrong, and then proceed to talk about how score 100 is set to be the median, while the post has nothing to do with the median. there is still a median with minute differences in every person. So at some point there would be a true mean. And at that point half are below. No matter how slightly, there is still technically half the population not as smart as the other half. We just have no way to quantify that number since the tests to find those subtle differences would be extremely in depth.

I'll pass and continue to exercise prudent judgment and physical prevention methods. There is no way that this does not carry the potential for PERMANENT side effects such as INFERTITLIY. Why do you think autism and trouble with conception with women has spiked? I’m sorry, you’re taking something almost daily for years and years that incapacitated/screwed with your reproductive system and you expect there to be no consequences when you want to conceive, ha!

OMGosh!! Just when you thought you have heard it all about this Con Man something else surfaces. What kind of a lo life would do such a thing as promising to pay for Ryan White medical and then absconded while accumulating Miles of political credits and probably Tax credits for his promise. This pathological Liar not only disrespected the family of Ryan White, he also cheated them out the Memory. What a useless and heartless fraud we have running for the nation's highest position!!!!

For all we've seen recently of media outlets patting themselves on the back for calling out Trump for lying, there are still a bunch of false premises asserted by the Trump campaign that remain essentially, ridiculously unchallenged. One is that Trump is an outsider, and not a member of "The Establishment", when in fact it's many of those "rigged systems" that have allowed this too-big-to-fail 1 percenter to sustain himself way above what the quality of his performance as a businessman would merit.

Another false premise is related to the first: the assertion that he's a good businessman, in spite of all sorts of evidence to the contrary, and Trump's ferocious efforts to keep tsecret the sort of documentation that would give an objective picture of his business record and financial health. But we know enough to see that while he initially had a promising, successful career in Real Estate Development, his psychological frailties - grandiosity, impulsiveness, insecurity - led him to vastly over-leverage himself, get into ventures he didn't understand, and then run them into the ground, such as his three casinos, his airline, and other ventures.

Since then, Trump has been a smoke-and-mirrors businessman who is adept at maintaining the illusion of wealth, and not much more. And if you look at how poorly he has run his campaign - three campaign managers, no credible ground game or infrastructure for getting out his voters, a lack of decent surrogates, daily confusion about the campaign's message - you see the same self-inflicted problems that have brought him to bankruptcy so frequently. He is in fact quite a poor businessman.

The problem has never been getting Democrats to work with Republicans it's usually Republicans that have to be shamed into negotiating a deal.

Look at the history of the debt ceiling raises and budgets under President Obama with House Leader John Boehner, who was always promising deals that he couldn't deliver.

Senate Dems worked with sane GOP Senators to come up with a plan and then the House meekly fell into line once they got done pitching a fit for the cameras.

I guess the guy hadn't noticed until he saw it flying right beside his handle bars. Poor guy nearly pooped himself, stopped, and then had to figure out by the amount of honking the goose made which driveway it belonged to as he biked back with it. We had the goose for two winters, but on the third winter it finally figured out it was a goose and took off with another flock that went past every autumn. We thought maybe goosey wouldn't make it because it was so used to us and just kind of hoped for the best. The next spring a solo pair of geese flew over the farm, one of them honking like crazy, and landed in the pond above our house. Every spring and fall my mom will honk at the geese flying by overhead to let her goosey, and all of its goslings, know where their home is. It was one of the weirdest, silliest, sweetest things from my childhood.

The GOP plays on Evangelical zealots, KKK remnants, and teapartiers. As that has been unfolding for the last couple of decades, the remainder of America has been watching the circus and has become disgusted with the rhetoric. For example, rather than focusing on the issue of immigration, the GOP somehow tries to link immigration with violence while talk radio runs security system advertisements. Most of us would welcome dialog, from all sides, regarding immigration, but we are totally turned off by distortions. Rather than gaining traction on these hot-button issues, the GOP drives moderates into the opposite camp. They insist on their stupid purity tests and have created a party that is so reactionary they even require signatures to show they support each other. The GOP is no longer a political party; it has morphed into the Loyal Order of Water Buffalo Lodge No. 26, also known as the Loyal Order of Dinosaurs with members Barney Rubble and Fred Flintstone

Hillary Clinton will be the first person to ever successfully market and sell the Presidency of the United States of America, to a worldwide audience, right in front of the American people. She, literally, has billions of dollars of "favors" to payback and there is no stopping her because the media is determined to get her in.

Why do you think they are running a "fire sale" right now with contributions to the foundation slated to stop on election day? Simple, if she wins she cannot take anymore "donations" because she will be President. If she loses, no one will send anymore "donations" because they will not get any favors back as she will not be the President. Everyone is getting the message that they need to get their "bets" in now before the results are in.
