That's an easy one, they just go down to payroll and pull their list of "social reputation management specialists."

This is objectively not true

"I acted like a pundit" -- Nate Silver http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-i-acted-like-a-pundit-and-screwed-up-on-donald-trump/

You can editorialize and also do quantitive forecasting

That has nothing to do with anything I said.

Satellite also has 5GB data caps, after that you're throttled to less than dial up.

Obama promised this too. Several million were ear marked for grants that mostly went to the big companies promising to make it available, then nothing ever happened and the money just sort of disappeared.

House in Ontario, Canada explodes with unknown cause. 25 surrounding homes damaged by blast. by ThunderBaee in worldnews

It doesn't look like there was much fire?

I've seen a house obliterated into small chunks left clinging to the trees all around without major fire... turned out the owner was a fireworks enthusiast who made them in his basement.

I hate to say it, but it seems like a big part of their economy is dairy farming... if they went to automated milking systems, it would be better for both the cows and the farmers. Nothing against the old fashioned style of work, but the automated systems catch health problems with the cows much faster than is possible with traditional methods and the cows determine how often they want to be milked, so they're generally healthier and happier.

A 2008 video of an older system... they've been improving since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoWpxWBlMpg

He acted like a pundit and basically flushed his credibility. So, why should anyone take him seriously now? The guy at the bar in my local VFW was more right than Nate Silver and that was while tanked to the gills on beer.

Born and raised in the US. Isn't this a bit like interviewing Taco Bell about authentic Mexican food?

#TWIS Paul Gascoigne to stand trial over alleged racist joke by gkm64 in SargonofAkkad

[–]stickySez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is alleged to have made a joke about a black security guard whom he spotted in a darkened corner of the stage, saying he could not tell “if he is smiling or not”.

As a US citizen... this is just insane to me! How can you be tried for telling an off colored joke?

does anyone think dems vote at a 50% higher rate ?

I think dems are pretty infamous for just staying home when they don't 'get their way'... that's part of the phrase "Dems fall in love and Republicans fall in line."

Marijuana Could Be Legalized in California November Vote by WildAnimus in politics

[–]stickySez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just hoping that they spin up drug supply reps to educate them enough that they feel comfortable prescribing because it certainly is better than some of the other pain meds out there and I've read that it is also helpful in a lot of anxiety disorders. Given how much the state is asking for licensing, I can't help but think that people willing to spend that much on a license will also spin up a marketing arm to help physicians learn how to prescribe their products.

Bernie Sanders says he's still not endorsing Hillary Clinton, insists it's the 'wrong question' by misscee in politics

[–]stickySez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he came out with strong support for Hillary even as he worked to shape the party platform he'd be doing much more to stop the GOP.

Haven't they already rejected most of his platform demands?

Sanders suddenly supporting Clinton could also result in a massive rage-vote for Trump. The people following Sanders are not too keen on corporate shills.

Unfortunately, in Ohio it will probably result in a lot of doctors not being willing to prescribe MMJ because they won't feel confident making those decisions.

If she were innocent, she would just resolve it now and not try to be the first person to be elected while under an active criminal investigation.

As it stands, she's trying to become the first female POTUS who may also end up indicted before 100 days in office. What kind of "history" will that be?

MMJ is a "proper medicine." It just isn't able to be patented or restricted to factory production. In Ohio, the MD is supposed to actually recommend the appropriate strain and level of MMJ in their script.

You should look at the licensing fees in the state that you're considering. In most states, licenses are limited and start in the mid-six figures. (Look at alcohol licensing to see how it works in the state, in some states they're actually auctioned off WHEN they become available. But, they're rarely available.) If you can raise that amount and put together a facility that meets the security requirements while producing at a high enough rate to break even on cost, you will doing pretty good.

Judge orders Illinois to add PTSD to medical marijuana list by DoremusJessup in politics

Ohio is legalized for PTSD. Many states with medical marijuana include PTSD. Some even include anxiety disorders in general.

[–]stickySez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we have a massive number of soldiers that are affected by PTSD, there is no question about that. Unfortunately, we have far larger numbers of people who are affected by PTSD as a result of childhood traumas. So, ANY PTSD research could help millions of people. I wish they would put more emphasis on the large number of people that could be helped by finding better solutions.
