Pander posted:He's not wrong about saying the Japanese market is different and smaller than America's? I wasn't saying he was, however the Japanese market is still large (17th in the world, I think? Above a lot of Euro countries) bc Japan isn't Tokyo. And yes, the entire point of that article is that the Japanese market is different and American car manufacturers don't even try to adapt or sell to the market which is why they fare so poorly. Not because Japan is too harsh on American cars like Trump is trying to claim. So, cool, I'm glad you discovered what the article I posted was saying? e: RevKrule posted:TABOR's gonna choke the state to death. It's already destroyed the roads. No doubt. The only places that will survive are going to be the cities with enough tax base while everything else gets hollowed out.

Sesq posted:I was paddled a couple times in Mississippi. Once in the first grade when I didn't come in from recess promptly enough. I was six years old. Again, in high school, for 'defiantly playing chess.' I was fourteen. It was just a light tap, followed by the principal slapping the sole of his shoe hard to make it sound worse than it was, but it happened. This all was mid '80s/mid '90s You can't just go dropping that in the thread without explaining it.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Wait - two swats of a paddle? Seriously? What the gently caress? I didn't think schools were legally allowed to do that poo poo anymore. drat. A couple of years ago I talked with a recruiter who worked for a south Texas school who was touting the fact that they still performed corporal punishment (they required the signed consent of the parents). I immediately walked away from that "opportunity", but I would guess that they attract teachers who think that's a good thing, or who can't get work anywhere else.

Hahaha it's gone now. Someone archived it: http://archive.is/ZN4mU quote:The Justice Department dealt a stunning blow to former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, firing him just days before he would have been eligible for a lifetime pension after determining that he lied to investigators reviewing the bureau’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server.

This happens often. News agencies make several versions of possible outcomes with placeholders for specific variables- it’s done to get the story to press sooner.

AhhYes posted:The Lamb result made me think about this race, but I wasn't able to find any recent polling so no clue if it's actually going to be close. His district is something like R+5 while PA-18 is R+11, IIRC. Even if he's a better candidate than Saccone, he has to survive a primary against Nehlen by actually getting Republicans to bother voting for him. If he gets primaried that seat is basically a given for Iron Stache to win because a R+5 district in a blue wave is not going to turn out in huge numbers to vote for someone as insane as Nehlen. Ryan will likely retire because the odds of him beating the 'stache is looking extremely low with each passing day. Oxxidation posted:Also Remington was on the outs for ages before this anyway, so it doesn't mean anything. It was on the outs because of Cerberus.  Crackbone posted:And to be clear, this debt basically destroys a companies cash flow. Toys R Us was paying 400 Million a year in debt servicing. In 2014 for example, that would have made it a profitable year vs a loss. And it certainly means they had less funds to invest in modernizing their stores/supply chain/website.  EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Wal*Mart's "book value" (shares outstanding * share price) right now is $260B, the real estate they own under all their stores is worth about $40B more than that on its own, and if you discount their stable cash flows the whole enterprise is probably worth $800B. They're intentionally underpriced because the family is doing everything it can to buy back every single public share out there and don't want to pay actual value to do so. I want to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride.

Zwabu posted:I don't know about during the 70s, but from the 80s and onward, schools like Yale provide substantial aid if you are poor and can get in. You're correct that most rich elite colleges will give scholarships to poor Americans, but in that situation the limitation is usually more in the form of the sort of extracurricular activities required to be admitted to a super elite school (not to mention the benefit money has on being able to improve your grades and test scores). While it's not impossible to be admitted, there's ultimately a limited number of slots and being upper-middle class or wealthier gives you a massive advantage.

Just the thought of my kid getting corporal punishment makes my blood boil; I haven't taken a swing at someone in anger my entire adult life but I think that would do it. I don't care how misbehaved the little poo poo is, you don't hit kids. Give'em detention, make'em mop hallways, hell, tell me what he did so because god knows I've got plenty of constructive ways to ground him. Hit him and I bury you. Sorry, I'm not trying to be internet tough guy, but it pisses me off on so many levels.

Vladimir Putin posted:Why would you drill holes in it? Reduce weight or reduce wind resistance? Drilling a hole in a paddle serves two purposes, firstly is significantly reduces wind resistance and secondly it focuses the force of the impact on to a smaller area, increasing the amount of force that is translated into the soft tissue and dramatically increasing the amount of pain infected. It's also a real good way to leave some serious loving bruises on somebody.

I like that they didn't even go with "Teachers shouldn't talk to students about sex, even when they're teaching it" a thing conservatives also believe, as a reason they shouldn't talk about guns, but went all the way to "Teachers can't have sex with students, so why should they talk about guns?"
