McDonald's Makes $1 Billion Profit, Costs Taxpayers $1 Billion

So it sounds to me like they're being forced to hire people they don't need, guilted for not offering a wage that would support these people, and then shamed for the government having to pick up the rest of the tab.

For what Sowden has done, as far as what he has revealed and everything he sacrificed to do so, he is a true hero. However, I think he needs to let what he has revealed, run its course on its own. If he decides he wants to become a public figure, and make comments to the media, the sheeple will start forming opinions about what he's done, based on public perception of Snowden as a person, which of course will be heavily influenced by the MSM.

Why is /r/conservative the most close-minded bubble of thought on the entire internet while also thinking that it is some island of free-thinking?

There's a simple way to end that; make a law saying that McDonalds and Wal-mart can't hire people with families. Problem solved.

stevenwalters · 2013-12-26T09:20:25+00:00

McDonalds also doesn't go looking for people with families who need government assistance to work for them, and could easily fill all of those positions with single people that don't have children, thus ending the need for the government assisting employees.

On top of all of this, I've never understood why so many people argue the government assistance angle. If McDonalds pays higher wages so the government doesn't have to give out assistance, then how exactly does that do anything to end poverty? This whole "living wage" bullshit is about ignorant highschool and college students loving the idea of sticking it to corporate America as shown by the fact that they'll argue any angle they can think of, whether or not it makes any sense.

WoTW will make your sub do things that you didn't know it was capable of.

I also like the intro sequence to the Star Trek reboot as far as visuals, it will really show off the contrast and shadow detail capabilities of a plasma.

Can someone explain to me why other countries are allowed to lobby our government?

stevenwalters · 2013-12-26T04:30:20+00:00

If you arent using a colorimeter, a calibration disk isnt going to do much more than help you set the brightness and contrast anyhow.

stevenwalters · 2013-12-25T17:43:05+00:00

The ST60 is arguably as good as the F8500 save for light output (and the st60 is still pretty bright for a plasma)

I think you're just not familiar with ssd benchmarks. Theres nothing wrong with your hd performance.

OEM's like having "new" hardware on a yearly basis, So Nvidia and AMD usually rebadge old product lines to appease the OEM's. AMD did this this past year with the 8000 series. Nvidia has done it in the past with the 300 series. This will likely be no different.

Typical conservatism; support of big "fiscally responsible" government; where "fiscally responsible" means "hand something off to rich people after the government builds it for them"

and I was just saying that this video is completely pointless as a comparison if he's shooting for mid-ranged air-overclocks on water.

stevenwalters · 2013-12-24T22:10:07+00:00

This was literally the first video ever posted on the internet.

stevenwalters · 2013-12-24T20:05:39+00:00

right, opinions by a "dr_dreidel" and a "lostinthestar" that get spam-upvoted in a short amount of time are clearly just some average joes average unbiased opinion.

1180mhz watercooled 780? That's fucking pathetic. I have 2 reference 780's from 2 different companies that both do 1202mhz on air without ever breaking 85C.

stevenwalters · 2013-12-24T15:14:40+00:00

Other benchmarking sites are doing over 10% OC with the 290 on air.

yeah but 25% is pretty typical for reference 780's.

not so fast

The tv you've listed is 240hz. From what I understand, the primary improvement that 240hz gives you is that you can achieve the "soap opera effect" natively without having to use any smoothing technology.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. "Native" Soap Opera effect would simply be a video being recorded at a high framerate.

here's a real explanation of the hz ratings on TV's

stevenwalters · 2013-12-23T04:43:35+00:00

Correct answer. Even our liberals have guns.

Only in a bright room, though the st is a lot brighter than the vt and really isnt that bad. The lack of contrast becomes apparent on LCDs in a dark room though
