$700?? I bought a great Sony double-DIN head unit for like $250 and installed it myself. Now I have bluetooth handsfree + audio streaming and it make the stock speakers in my car sound amazing. Best car upgrade ever.

This could be considered a failure of the medical training system rather than a failure of the immigration system. Canada has lots of need for doctors, there's a lack of residency spots to qualify as a Canadian-approved doctor.

Unlike a TN visa for Canadians or an Australian E-3 visa, the H-1B is an immigrant visa that is one of the few paths to a green card. So they're actually the opposite of indentured servitude where there's a path to permanent resid

A university-educated electrical engineer doesn't want to be an illegal immigrant and the employers that need his skills won't hire illegal immigrants either. So this is only really true for people willing to work illegally, like

Ha, funny guy. The US immigration system is shit. Explain to me how someone can become a permanent resident or a US citizen who is current a citizen & resident of Canada, India or the Philippines. H1-B visas are the most straightforward

Vitamin D is added to milk because before they did that there were a lot of people with Vitamin D deficiency. The same thing is true of iodine in salt. Most people can remove any one or two things from their diet and they won't sudden

Milk was "evolved" about the same way wheat "evolved" - which is to say, it was created through over thousands of years of selective breeding. Modern milk is pretty carefully engineered to give very specific percentages

Of course there's an upside to drinking milk - it has calories and nutrients. Is it a better source of those two things than anything else? No. But there is no "perfect" food - you need a little bit of everything.

The conclusion is sort of weak - that milk isn't strictly necessary and doesn't do much good for you because most Americans aren't vitamin- or calorie- deficient. That logic could be applied to literally anything. Is beef goo

Were you there? I was. Computers were marketed to boys and families for whatever reason reinforced this as well. It may not explain everything, but it explains the genesis of the situation.

Is this super-loud? I have an old 1U server which seemed cool until I booted it up. It's like vacuum-cleaner-loud.

Yeah, this could be it. It could also be that Netflix simply isn't trying to replace titles because of reduced demand for the DVD service. Either way, too bad.

The issue is that they no longer have classic movies available through their DVD services. There are no legal or licensing restrictions there due to the First Sale Doctrine.
