Just to be clear the block was due to a procedural issue and I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see this sorta thing have bipartisan support at the federal level, seeing as it enjoys bipartisan support at the state level in every jurisdictio

This is on a corporate PC, I don’t run into this issue with chrome (which I try to avoid using in general) whose update schedule is also managed by a corp IT policy. Those settings don’t do anything bec even when I select “Check but don’t i

Yes, it’s pretty clear that MS is abusing the H1B program. Which is supposed to be used only when no local talent can be found… if you’re firing 1000s of local people I have a hard time believing they are truly less skilled than the H1Bs be

Is a journalist still a journalist if he’s launching rockets, carry a gun and grenades? Hamas and PIJ has filmed themselves wearing “press” vests while doing these things. Many of the journalists in Gaza are Hamas operatives until they die

Firefox has the worst update process. Idk how they haven’t figured this out yet, but the fact that I regularly get “restart to finish update and continue browsing” when opening new tabs or links is totally unacceptable. Also the fact that i

Not to hate on immigrants… but shouldn’t H1B’s be the first on the chopping block of layoffs? Hard to imagine all those H1Bs are so unique that others already employed can’t replace them.

I tried engaging this guy a few days ago, he’s very single minded in his opinions. He’s not interested in reason, only in hating a certain group of people who originate from a particular region in the Middle East. It’s good to see others ar

Tbf, it’s $500 in equipment + $50-100 in recurring costs, which I’m sure is much higher than what they’re paying now. If they don’t feel they need internet they probably don’t want to pay significantly more for it.

The OP already had the music downloaded to his device. When apple switched to the streaming service they deleted all that… you still technically owned the music, but now it had to be streamed. I also don’t recall if they started with an off

I haven’t personally attacked anyone. I pointed out some egregious behavior you engaged in and suggested that you refrain from doing that in the future. But it seems even in this comment you again engaged in that same bigoted behavior. It’s

Iran just withdrew from the NPT. So once again, your high minded ideas don’t have any basis in reality. This comes on the heels of the IAEA finally deciding to acknowledge the reality that Iran has not been in compliance for quite a while.

> I have shown the specific claim that Iran does in fact not end up with more powerful weapons as a result of a nuclear deal. No you haven’t at all. The problem with your opinion is it’s false on its face with regards to Iran: part of

Lol k. So you opinion is that maybe if the rest of the world lets Iran build up a huge stockpile of weapons and enrich uranium 50% of the way to a nuke, they’ll not be as evil? I guess that’s an opinion someone could have… Regarding your so

Your own data shows expenditures rose for 2 years after the signing of the treaty… and once the US pulled out they dropped precipitously. That’s ignoring the context of what was happening at the time namely, Iran directly supporting the gen

We’re not talking about relative to other countries. We’re talking in absolute terms of the country in question, Iran also isn’t party to many treaties, so really SA is a perfect example. Seeing as you refuse to back up any of your claims w

Iran’s military spending hasn’t decreased significantly since 2015. Which you would expect if your “hypothesis” had any legs. It has in fact increased. Thus again disproving your spurious claims. Please point to these supposed experts, ever

Sure add US to the list, makes your case even worse. The US is party to many more trade and arms treaties than any other country on earth and has the largest stockpile of weapons. SA is Saudi Arabia. Regardless I've soundly disproven y

Iran’s “treaty” was they get to build a giant stockpile of conventional weapons in exchange for not building a nuclear weapon… but they get to continue enriching uranium at levels that would make it very easy to quickly ramp up to nukes if

Your hypothesis definitely fails the sniff test. China, Iran, Russia, SA, Pakistan, India… the list goes on. All have many bilateral agreements and yet were or are building up their arms. Iran choose to insert itself where it didn’t belong
