You are contradicting yourself. Biden is not wasting his time if you believe cannabis should be legal. Biden doesn't have the power to federally legalize cannabis, that is the responsibility of congress. Biden does have the power of pardon. The point of this action was to embarrass and shame the legislators from red states who have held up the federal legalization of cannabis. He is trying to further his argument that republicans don't work on issues that middle and lower class americans (who are the majority) really care about.

Some people use their passport as ID, This is especially true of minors or anyone who doesn't have a driver's license.

or we created grunge out of angst over shitty internet speeds

I'm really surprised our president and the mexican president don't get along better.

What a circus. Google isn't forcing anyone to use its search engine. If the EU has such a massive problem with a company promoting it's own businesses in the course of FREE use of its search features, then they can just block Google altogether. Good luck with Bing! I hope Google tells them to F off.

I agree. I teach IT at a community college. My students generally call me by my first name. Some opt for Mrs... a few title me with "professor" (which I am not) and I have a few military students who call me Chief. Apparently, I am tough but fair. I like to be approachable. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions. I am not the sanctimonious type. I do not feel that I am any better than any of my students. I was once in their position. The key to managing a classroom is making your expectations clear from the very beginning and actually read their homework. I spend a lot of time reading homework and grading hard, especially at the beginning of the quarter and most especially with entry level courses. As for poor email communications, I will reply with, "This is unintelligible. You need to use complete sentences, punctuation, and real words." Student love the speech to text features of their phone, but the resulting messages grate on my nerves. I am part of a liberal FB group that posts stories of inequality or triumph over inequality. One female teacher posted a story about a male colleague who was complaining to her that a student questioned his decision about an assignment and then argued with him when she didn't like the answer. The female instructor told him "welcome to my world where students argue with me all the time" I am floored by this. You get the respect you command. If you respect your student's time and abilities and are prepared and flexible at times, the students will be respectful of your decisions. I very rarely have had any trouble with students in the last 10 years of teaching. There is always troublemakers, but they are few and far between. Now if I could just get the students to understand critical thinking and not be so concerned with being "right" all the time....

Still her fault. She took digital nudie photos with an idevice. Get that girl a darwin award.

You can bet the NSA has dirt on all the politicians. They can't say boo because it would be the end of their career. It isn't possible to get to the highest levels of politics without stashing a whole shed full of skeletons.

United we stand, divided we fall. Oh how we have fallen.

Regardless of whether Apple's claims are true or not, I think it is awesome that Apple called the government malicious hackers.

I have been nursing back to health my collection of trackball Explorers, but most of them have been running for 10+ years.

That ethanol laced fuel fouled more plugs and plugged my carb than I can count on my dirt bikes. I will be glad to see it go.

This is a huge problem in all of education. You don't teach because you want to get rich on an 8-5 job. It is really hard to find people who are good at programming/networking/Information systems/apps/DB's etc who are also good at teaching and have the desire to teach.

I was pressured into using Chrome. I will admit it is fast when it isn't crashing. I usually have both Chrome and FF open but I definitely favor FF and use it more frequently.

The medieval model of university would have a chance to work at the university level as most of those people truly want to learn. I teach CS at a community college and it's more like babysitting than teaching, most days. And since I have lab classes and unpredictable (crappy) equipment, I put in more hours than is reasonable and no way would I teach for a "nominal" compensation.
