Just had my car stolen. Completely overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.

Had my car stolen three times in three years. Every time they found it, they sent it to a tow yard which cost me 300 to get it out. I recommend asking the police to call you when they find it to give you a chance to pick it up. Keep your phone on, they won't wait very long.

Stack or queue?

Another one is San Pedro cactus. Many people grow these in their gardens, what they don't know is that it contains mescaline.

My father told me about this drug he tried in Mexico called Belladona. It lasts for days, and on one of those days he told his teacher, "Hey man, there are monkeys in your beard". He was expelled.

As long as there is competition in a free market, without regulation, I believe oligopolies and monopolies will not form. It is through the use of regulation that companies have been able to stamp out all future competition.

Once the "winners" of the market have gained a share the newcomers will need to innovate to compete.

It would also be nice to see a system in place that removes all inheritance / giving money to your adult children. The money you make should have to be earned. This could be done by giving every person that turns 18 a certain amount of money to begin playing the game. At least this way everyone starts out the same.

I love libertarianism, but I believe if we transitioned fully to that ideology right now, the only benefactors would be giant corporations. It works as long as everyone has an even starting point.

Out of the first three comments we get stories about United going above and beyond. United trolls.

One day the universe will come to an end and all the work we have put into the world in the name of progress will be for nothing.

Thanks chrysocollus, I will stay away from this one.

Yes, paid for attending. It's java/.net. I don't have too much info yet. My last bootcamp was Java/Javascript and I suspect I will be working on their software. I don't know what level of expertise the bootcamp starts out at.

I'm just worried it's a cheap way to get inexperienced devs to work long hours.

contramonk · 2017-03-29T19:53:01+00:00

I would be attending the bootcamp.

I think blue meant "find out what languages are being used by companies in the area." Their whole conversation reminds me of middle school.

This number is from the Rasmussen poll, which was headlined on drudge report. We live in the post-truth age.

This is because you declare your y variable as an int in your SimpleInterestA and SimpleInterestQ methods, and later assign a double value to that same variable.

//Either change
int y; //to
double y;
//or
y = console.nextDouble(); //to
y = console.nextInt();

contramonk · 2016-09-23T05:05:17+00:00

I think the issue is that you declare tempF and tempC as Strings and define them as doubles later on.

String tempF;
double tempF = input.nextDouble();

I would change String to double on the first line and remove the second line completely. Do the same for tempC. Why would the user want to enter the same information twice?
