People who are into critical thinking do not debate the meaning of ancient fables. They just accept them for what they are. Nothing more and nothing less.
-
When I hear that phrase I think of it as casual, pro forma, and most likely untrue. It’s just the cynic in me.

It can never work with governments deciding who is worthy and who is not. There will always be people who fail to meet your standard but are still someone’s loved one.

It sounds like someone decided there were enough differences to make the patent non applicable. The patent holder disagrees. Either they negotiate, litigate, or drop it because it will cost to much to pursue. This kind of dispute is common enough, and inventors feeling screwed over is as well. Sometimes for big commercial things. I think Nicola Tesla had some of his patents infringed upon.

ROTFL nearly literally. Nice one.

A net worth of that size at the age Bernie is would be fairly solidly upper middle class. I suspect several regular posters here have a net worth of at least that much. It is not really that high.

Hmmmm...... I’m not sure what point I’m missing. But the point I’m making is that America’s wastefulness is not a world subsidy.
-
I’m not buying that. The R&D would still happen without the obscene executive pay and shareholder profits. They only exist because of the nearly equally obscene payments made to politicians. The American healthcare system is seriously distorted by legalized corruption. The rest of the world is closer to normal. Without this share prices would fall, but shareholders would still do well, just on a smaller investment.
-
Huh? You think that Americans allowing themselves to overpay insurance and drug companies compared to elsewhere is a subsidy? Really, or am I missing something else?
-
It should be okay as long as it stays in this one thread. But I know what you mean.
-
No, you have to suffer like we did or leave again.

Well, battling it out on DZ. com may make one party feel better. But patent disputes are only settled by one of two ways. Negotiation, or litigation.
-
How very American of you. You have the developed worlds most unfair health care system. With the poorest average outcomes. And you want to blame it on the rest of the world.
-
I’m not going to engage you in debating this clear obfuscation of the facts.
-
Well that’s good. Who knew it could be so simple?
-
You cannot escape. The machine that reads your card is as dirty as my cash.
-
And only the elderly matter? Is there no one in your family or close to you with no, or more likely poor insurance?
-
So then, Trump “owns the trust” of the American people? Slight changes in syntax do not chance the nature of the idea.

I know my wing load, now what?
gowlerk replied to George D. Avramidis's question in Questions and Answers
All it means is that you have one data point to use in assessing what kind of performance you can expect from your canopy. It does not answer any of the questions in your post. There are so many variables that your questions are not answerable in this format on this forum. Even experts are unable to exactly answer questions about glide ratios and airspeed just by calculations. The only way to know is live measurements. Fortunately this data is not really needed in skydiving . -
The VP vetting process will be very thorough I would imagine. No Sarah Palin type errors I hope.
-
I’m at about the same level as you Jerry. I was sure he was done a couple of months ago.
-
Did you vote for Trump in the primary as well? I can sort of understand how a conservative could vote for Trump over Clinton. But how Rs picked Trump as nominee is beyond me.
-
So, you don’t believe in getting up, dusting yourself off, and trying again? Failure is permanent?
