Is she claiming that divorced women don't have a drivers license? Nobody is forcing them to change their name back if they don't want to.

This is what I read also. Is she wanting to run around with an inaccurate license and expect it to not cause any problems in other scenarios?

You're getting those because of your algorithm, I haven't seen any of them. But I've actually listened to Hunt, repeatedly, and haven't detected anything that wouldn't make me vote for him. Paxton is trying, and I wouldn't have a problem with either one winning.

Your supposition couldn't be more wrong. . . I watch Fox 4 in the morning for the beautiful Kylie Capps. . . Just walking past the TV I saw a negative ad against Hunt saying he voted for Obama, and something else about his voting record. . . can't recall what it was.

Pretty well said. It seems like a lot of the bragging and complaining come from politically leaning people. Based on whoever the president is, their political bias drives your opinion of the market.

Personally, I don't credit the government with my job and I don't blame the government when life hits me. If you want to act like the government is to blame, you lack accountability and are looking for an excuse. I've not had the government affect my career path and I started working under the HW first administration.

The most successful people I know spend 0 time coming up with excuses. They find a way.

I just wish the government would take less of my money. I work a little more than a day out of the week for the government.

I bet you think gold is $5000 an ounce because its used in electronics...

You might demonstrate another reason I lack confidence in bitcoin. Discipline investors would focus on why they think the value is there, and wouldn't get emotionally defensive when someone else doesn't share the same view on the topic. A lot of bitcoin proponents don't exactly convey value. You speak as if you're going to be the millionth person to win the bitcoin lottery and IMO it's emotion driven investing.

In the history of investments, nothing has ever SUSTAINED a growth pattern like what bitcoin has produced in it's 3-4 good years. Market saturation settles in and growth can only happen by offering new product lines or entering new markets. Bitcoin is a single product in a single vertical. It can't diversify, and cannot introduce new value outside of speculation. And don't take this as me saying bitcoin won't go up. Because undoubtedly it will. I am saying that the growth of the bitcoin will likely hit the market average, and I think that is what will kill it in the end. If you don't have wild swings in the price, it flat isn't appealing.

And to answer your questions, yes there is an industrial use for gold, but that isn't why it's priced where it is. I don't invest in gold outside of whatever might be in my indexes. I also don't particularly understand gold's valuation, but as someone else said, it at least has a LONG history of realistic growth and isn't entirely speculative.

One of my economics classes taught that the manufacturing and production facilities operate to maximize profits. Core objective for businesses. They have capacity to produce more but the market (demand) purchases less than the capacity. Instead of shutting the plant down they lease the additional capacity out to competitors to make money in the time they otherwise wouldnt be making money.

I miss his grand entry jumps he did.

I rode mx tracks for a few years and then started racing cross country. If you want an endurance exercise, cross country will do it for you. I wore a heart rate monitor and my heartrate averaged 190 amd peaked at 205. Lowest it got was 180. I thought my hrm was broken.

It took me a season of racing before I could actually finish a race and maybe only 2 races did I feel like I wanted the race to be longer in 6 or 7 seasons of racing.

A great website to join is Trouble Free Pools. You will never go back to a pool store, ever.

Their method is 100% effective but unopen for discussion. Unrelated to salt water pools, but their rigidity on sourcing liquid bleach for chlorine is impractical. . . I'd be going through 100 gallons of bleach a summer using their method. So, I do use Leslie's granular chlorine. And I also quit using pucks for a summer and I learned that my CYA was WAY too low. So when my CYA tests low, I just use pucks to chlorinate and bring the CYA back up. When it tests in range, I quit using pucks. My first year with a pool, I used pucks exclusively. Every 3 or 4 days go throw some in the auto chlorinator, and the pool stayed crystal clear. Then I learned about CYA, and now I manage CYA with pucks and it makes managing the pool easier for me.

TFP would absolutely shite all over my strategy but it works for me.

Long story short, learn how each chemical impacts other chemicals and use it to your advantage.

These guys OPENLY advocate to allow illegals to vote. How they have more than 10% support is quite suspicious.

Any of you guys have experience with QA Automation software for enterprise use?

I'm using Katalon. It's alright but has some short comings IMO. Looking for a different software that might perform better. For example, web UI's in a manual test mode, it takes a long time to spin up the browser and execute the tests. It takes longer to execute API's so response times aren't reliable. I'm not sure if throughput testing is a feature any QA tools offer but you can't get any accurate response times through Katalon.

I need it to test web applications in addition to REST and some SOAP APIs.

My wife gets slightly annoyed when I introduce her as my former girlfriend, and even more annoyed when I introduce her as my first wife.

I don't understand how people fall for this kind of stuff.

I agree with you. But my dad fell for one of those telephone scams not long ago and had his bank account compromised. And another somewhat elderly neighbor who is beyond financially set fell for a "missed jury duty appointment". The scammers have become quite a bit more sophisticated. That paired with the fact that most companies are outsourcing everything they can to India, it makes detecting the scams slightly more difficult.

Read something awhile back that those of us in our mid 30s to mid 40s live in a sweet spot. We knew life without the internet, we've observed the evolution of the internet from the beginning, and we're young enough to question anything remotely that doesn't add up. Older folks grew up being able to more or less trust more things than not. Younger kids don't know life without the internet. Something about this mentality makes older folks susceptible to fraud.
