The full folly of his actions weren't fully recognized until his second term but by the 4th year of his presidency the 9/11 swoon was definitely gone and it looked many like normal R/D divide. His net approval rating was in low single digits and went negative for a while during that 4th year...
Bernie is dominating the youth vote but he is not getting them to turn out and he would need them to turn out in November to beat Trump. Had Bernie won the nomination by getting those people out to vote I would have felt much better about his chances in November but there just hasn't been any...
Anyone who thinks beating Trump is a given is completely misinformed and out of the loop. Beating an incumbent president is always very difficult and near impossible when the economy is good. He is still very popular among Republicans, has an electoral advantage and his campaign has a lot of...
This is probably a conversation for a different thread but what makes you think Bernie has a better shot against Trump based on what we've seen in the primaries so far? Bernie's strategy has been about getting big turnout in the youth vote and that hasn't happened in the primaries. In 2018 we...
I don't disagree that his rate of making idiotic statements is probably higher than it was 10+ years ago but that is very different than the people running around implying that he has dementia. I would definitely prefer that we don't have a president over the age of 70 for multiple reasons but...
The problem is that you can't just point to Joe Biden making idiotic statements as "demonstrable proof" because he has been making idiotic statements and sounding like an idiot for years. It is a known fact about him and was even a known fact about him when he was picked as Obama's VP.
I'm not...
My wife and I were there a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. We stayed in a nice hotel right by the park by Reforma. We essentially just went to the museums, which were great, ate awesome food and enjoyed the warm weather.
Level 2 really isn't that bad. Half of Europe is basically...
You can tip but it's definitely not mandatory. If I had to guess I would say the majority of people don't tip. If you felt like the driver did a good job then feel free to tip if you'd like but it's not like a restaurant where it is completely mandatory.
I don't know how to help you with the Windows phone part but I've used Uber 100s of times and have never ordered one in advance. Most airports now even have signs for "App pickup" locations that you can just follow to make sure you walk to the right spot. Worst case scenario here you just grab a...
You do not need to set up an uber pickup 2 1/2 weeks in advance. There are tons of them near major airports and it will just be easier to request a pickup when you land.
It's an amazing movie and people shouldn't be scared off from subtitles to actually see it. The point is that they gave the award for best movie to the best movie, this year it just happens to be a Korean movie.
Given this and my backlog of games I'm probably just going to wait and buy the "Ultimate Combined Edition" that features all of the episodes when they are done. I'm assuming they'll have some additional extras that they are going to add and bug fixes to add in. Hopefully it'll be a big PC...
We grew some thai birds eye peppers in our garden this year for the first time. They were insanely easy to grow and had a really nice yield. I used it as an excuse to learn about cooking more thai food and it was a lot of fun. Still have pepper/fish sauce mixture in my fridge that is an awesome...
Health insurers aren't exactly blameless either. They've largely gotten complacent and have been slow to innovate. High deductible plans have gotten completely out of control and have been implemented in a way that puts undue burden on the consumer.
I don't think anyone in the system is 100%...
This is just flat out not true. If insurance companies pay out less they are required by law to lower premiums. It is mandated that 80% of all premiums charged go to paying medical losses.
The gov't could negotiate with drug/equipment manufacturers right now and they choose not to...
Lets try and get single payer for health care before we worry too much about single payer for work comp :) I'm not arguing against it just think there are bigger fish to fry.
Insurance companies reducing the costs they pay helps their insureds by reducing their premiums. The ACA regulates this and so it is beneficial to their insureds for them to try and reduce costs. As I said, a lot of the $hitty things insurance companies do are in the name of reducing costs. I'm...
This is completely false. Insurance companies do some bad things but they are the largest player in the game that is concerned with actually reducing costs. Most of the $hitty stuff that they do is in the name of reducing costs. Just cutting them out of the system doesn't reduce costs magically...
This just sounds like a restaurant wanting to up prices for another reason. There is no reason that a $10 burger will become a $12 burger just by increasing wage $1. Even on a lower scale a $5 item won't become a $6 item by paying it's employees $1 an hour more. The only way that math makes any...
Yes, ideally we would live in a society where the customer doesn't need to be concerned if the employees are being treated fairly but unfortunately that is not the world we live in. A company saying that they provide their employees with healthcare and decent wages is a good marketing tool. Some...
For me the difference would be how the price is listed on the menu. A "mandatory tip" place would list an item on the menu at $10 and then say there is a 21% service fee, like this place did, and a no tip place would bake it into the item price and just say that the item is $12.10. At the end of...
It looks like you travel like my wife and I travel, i.e. very food oriented. We did about a week and a half in Korea in July and loved it. We split our time between Seoul and Busan. It sounds like you've spent lots of time in Korea so you've probably been there but for anyone else that may be...
I saw Parasite a couple weeks ago and loved it. It was my favorite movie I've seen this year.
Also I think people are confusing two movies called "Mother". The director of Parasite made a movie also called Mother but it is a Korean movie and not the one with Jennifer Lawrence.
I think this is a lot of it. A lot of people play mobile games but the level of excitement just isn't as high for them. They announced Immortal like it was some ground breaking thing that everyone should be excited about. If they had announced it at the same time as D4 it wouldn't have gotten...
I think people should do what is right for their family. Some parents are happier staying at home, some are miserable. A miserable stay at home parent is worse than a happy working parent. I'm not in a place right now where I'd want to give up my career so it wouldn't be fair to ask my wife to...
I'm glad they went back to a darker tone and I really hope they keep that. The gameplay that I've seen looks really good but I am a little worried that the skill system might be a bit too simplistic. After D3 I think me expectations of what Diablo games are going to be going forward have...
"Facebook is dying" is a common take right now. Many sight that it's dying while referencing Instagram and Whatsapp without realizing that Facebook owns both of them.
Facebook.com may be slowing down but Facebook as a company isn't going anywhere any time soon.
He just wants to be the one who "got us out of the middle east" and "ended the US war with ISIS in Syria". He ran on America First and staying out of foreign wars. The Kurds are going to be the sacrifice for that.

It looks like it was a right-wing stunt/troll job to try and make AOC look bad.
Wusthofs are very good knives and there doesn't seem to be any reason for a home cook to need anything better than that. You'd probably be best served by investing your time/money in making sure your knives are always nice and sharp.
That being said I could see purchasing a more diverse group...
Back to the general topic about whistle blowers. I can't remember where exactly I saw it but there was an article shortly after this started to come out that basically made the argument that this is a good example that vindicates Snowden for circumventing normal whistle blower protocol.
The...
Arguing about the whistle blower is just a way for the White House to try and stir up a controversy. When the WH released the transcript* of the call they verified that the information in the complaint was accurate. They can't make a good argument that what they did wasn't wrong so they are...
I'm excitedly waiting on the Dragon Quest reviews. I wanted to preorder it but I'm still concerned that there might be some really bad performance issues. I'd really prefer to play it on switch with it's extra features and portability but I don't want it to run like crap compared to PS4 or PC.
