"Liable." There's a big difference, legally speaking. That's why he's suing - claims that he was never found guilty, and that's what the verdict forms reflect. As to publicity - the faithful will lap it up.

@LuFins-Dad said in Why isn't our children learning?: I noticed you put the “correct” answer under C, which stands for Caucasian, rather than A (African) or B (Black). Why is that? Also, why use English lettering instead of Arabic numerals?

I don't use the iPad for sheet music, but I have looked into doing it. The reason I was looking is that I wanted something that could give me the LARGE PRINT version for old men. Some features you might want to consider Scan in sheet music and be able to interpret it Make the font and notes bigger (for old eyes) Transpose the key Output pdf Print sheet music with the adjusted font Convert sheet music to MIDI and vice versa Zoom in and out the sheet music Just some things to consider.

@George-K Not true at all. I was always hoping they’d replace him.

I'd love to see them do that in Texas. Or here. Be the biggest damn firefight since the Thet Offensive.

I think quite a lot of British people know about the Royal Navy sinking of slave ships they mention. I'd heard about it.

I am guessing they would cut off contact if you offered to meet them in person.

A study by the Atlanta Vampire Alliance in 2015 said 5,000 people in the U.S. identify as real vampires and some drink blood from willing donors, ... Isn't that interesting?

@Doctor-Phibes said in "This is Biology!": I think polarisation is more physics than biology. I think polarization is more geography than either.

Tyler Cowen makes the point that if you include cyber crime, crime has risen by orders of magnitude. Each of us experience attempted robbery several times a week, though our spam folders usually keep it from view.

Not knowing either person, but from each persons background and what appears to be their moral character, I would be on the side of believing Gen. Kelly in this matter vs. President Trump.

@Axtremus said in Unemployable?: @Jolly said in Unemployable?: I see piss-poor work ethic. Local to your school district or Louisiana state-wide? How do the native high schoolers and undergraduates compare to the immigrants when it comes to work ethic? (This assumes you can tell the immigrants apart from the natives. If you cannot, that's fine.) I can only speak to what I know. My father graduated from the local high school, I graduated from the local high school, my kids graduated from the local high school. The school is rural, but it's had a reputation (and the community) for turning out young people who would work. Country kids, with callused hands. Not just blue collar jobs. There are two dozen STEM grads in my class. My wife's class has three physicians, one dentist and two lawyers. My son's class has kids that have worked for Apple, have worked at WWL and WGN, and are running major missions programs for the SBC. In short, we knew how to work. In the last fifteen years or so, I'm not seeing that. My son worked with kids that would go to football practice, haul hay all day, then go back for evening practice. I don't see that anymore. I don't see the dominance at state literary rallies. I don't see the dominance in athletics. It may be lack of maturity. It may be that teachers are not as good as they used to be or maybe they're too restricted in subject matter and everything is geared towards standardized testing. It may just be that times have changed. I don't know...

Medical tourism is a big thing. Bangkok has been very very active in promoting this - both for non-emergency medical things (hip replacement, etc) but also for dental work. Singapore is the same way.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The important thing about the interview that no one's talking about.: @89th said in The important thing about the interview that no one's talking about.: Where is Donald's wedding ring? There's a colonoscopy joke in there somewhere. Surely it's not up your ass?

@taiwan_girl said in Tulsi the Terrorist: Seems like she is really not "important" enough to be targeted just because she spoke out against whatever. Isn't that the entire point?

I am okay with self driving cars. I think the although as @mik says, a human can look at the whole picture, they are equally balanced by the number of bad stupid drivers that should be replaced by self driving cars.

Invasive species are usually a problem. Bunnies in Australia (someone here posted a picture about that) Pythons in Florida Lionfish in Carribean etc
