Here's your graph Abe: And the article that accompanies it: 5 facts about the minimum wage | Pew Research Center And here's some information from the department of labor: http://www.dol.gov/minwage/mythbuster.htm People starting to give anecdotal evidence of workers they don't...

So now there are working adults who aren't even worth the current minimum wage? That's practically tyranny Palum. "You're a worthless human being so grab that mop and be glad I pay you anything". And the true function of minimum wage is to make sure those in power can't take advantage of the...

Yeah bro, high five. You know what you're right. Every single minimum wage worker in this country has downs syndrome. Every single facet of life has people who take advantage and don't pull their weight. But they are a small minority and that is NEVER a reason to make everyone else suffer as...

Goddamnit. Please don't make this thread as insufferable as the True Detective thread.

Keep in mind that you'll get less mileage from E-85 than you will from straight gasoline. But how great would it be to give the middle finger to OPEC because we can actually choose how to fuel our vehicle?

Fucking Lancaster (Lankster). I dated a girl from there who basically changed my life. How can I ever live without Sheetz now?!?!?

I can't argue for or against because I really know very little about electric batteries BUT... It's 100% feels data but it seems crazy to me that men like Edison and Tesla could pioneer so much so quickly in the realm of electricity and then we get basically "nothing much" for almost 100 years...

So... we agree? You're kind of a dimwit aren't you?

I see what the problem is: I said America and not specifically the United States, though that's what I meant and I'm pretty sure you knew that. As for electric battery vehicles, do you not think that if we didn't abandon the technology 100 years ago it would have happened much, much sooner...

The only thing they talk about is Ethanol, these cars can actually run on 100% ethanol, or 50% ethanol 50% gasoline, or any mixture thereof.

Well that's how good Apple is at marketing then!

They flocked to the iPhone because it was first touch phone and you do have to praise them for that. But Apple products are not nearly as user friendly as people make them out to be.

Yes.

Well listen, when the flex-fuel Ford Focus uses the same exact parts as a non flex-fuel labelled Ford Focus what kind of damage could occur? What I am saying is that in the last 15 years these auto manufacturers in the US are building all of their cars to safely run on Flex Fuel (unless you're...

I don't know anything about motorcycles or Canada's auto market. But in the US the manufactured E-85 "flex-fuel" vehicles that have the special yellow gas cap and say "Flex-Fuel" on the car itself are made from the same exact parts as the "non flex-fuel" vehicles. There is not a single...

Before, during AND after

So.... gluten free pumpkin beer, gluten free rice krispie treats and gluten free mac and cheese.... throw all that shit out and just have the sausage and a gin and tonic.

There really has only been one other time in the history of minimum wage where it was raised close to 100%. 1950. And like he pointed out there was only a small short-term correction. Link to the history of minimum wage in US: Minimum Wage - Wage and Hour Division (WHD) - U.S. Department...

He edited after I posted that. The line I quoted was his entire original post. I got got!

I agree witchoo doe

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic

Please outline the "feels data"

Zero sum. The dirtier they are in bed the classier they need to be in the street. Eomer's woman must be a straight freak!

Just got a bunch of sexy hot peppers from the local farmer's market including scotch bonnets. Time to make some chili!

The whole buying online thing already happens and has been happening for a very long time. I agree it's problematic but raising the minimum wage is necessary. We've been protecting corporations for far too long at the expense of individual citizens and we need legislators who won't allow that to...

Yea, that's some no trust big brother shit right there. Fuck that.

No reason to get the certification if you don't plan on going into that field, and that field is "meh" as far as development goes. I don't feel the cert would be worth much and definitely not worth the ~$5k price tag or whatever it is these days for a Microsoft cert.

I think this is vastly overblown. I don't think it's nearly as dramatic as suddenly hundreds of thousands of people being completely out of jobs because nobody can afford to pay their workers that much or people suddenly deciding to give up their current jobs at $15/hr to go work at a fast food...

I agree $15 may be a little high, but $15/hr is still only $30k a year so let's not pretend it's an amazing living. If a company can't afford to pay its workers a wage that they can actually live on then that company has no right being in business in the first place. I'll lose no tears or sleep...

Is there a reason you want to get into web development? It's easily the most saturated development market with a much lower pay scale than other types of development as a result. It's not a bad way to start and it's how many programmers do start but I personally think going the certification...

To add, the documentary isn't just about alcohol fuels vs gasoline. It talks about all kinds of alternative fuels including electricity and natural gas. It's definitely worth a watch.

You guys should both just watch the documentary. Seriously, the Model T could run on Gasoline, Kerosene or Ethanol. No change in equipment or different engines required, any model T could run on any of those three fuels. Ford Model T - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(Just CTRL+F and type...

Does Java not have static methods? In C# File.Exists is a static method meaning you don't instantiate any objects you just call File.Exists(file1) where file1 is just the path of the file. This will never throw a null exception, it will just return false if the file does not exist.

And every one of your wife's window licking co-workers says the same about her, I assure you. Which is my biggest problem with pretending to care about work related issues, I know it's mostly nonsense. I have conversations with co-worker A who's telling me about how co-worker B is useless and...

Don't they all do that?

Just watched Pump on netflix. Pretty eye opening. I had no idea you can turn pretty much every car sold in America in the past ~15 years into a flex fuel car just by "hacking" the computer and changing a few settings. I also had no idea that Henry Ford's original cars were all flex fuel and...

Very true. I've never been a big coffee drinker but I do drink it black. I just acclimated myself to the taste of it thinking "Coffee is just bitter and slightly unpleasant until you get used to it" Then I started dating a woman who owned her own coffee catering business and was huge into all...

I agree that there is a huge inequality in output from developers, but I'm not sure how that ties in to what I was saying. I was just giving wormie shit since he's not even in the field but is talking like he's got keen insight and experience with hiring developers because he attends a meeting...

And I'm still going to give you shit that you think you have an educated opinion on the matter.
