I think you mean "go to your educated medical professionals," which, liberal or not, is a better basis for fact gathering and analysis.

I'd say you do you, but don't.

I stumbled on this article implementing images, it's incompatible with the version I'm running (2.0.26 for `gatsby-image`) - the "sizes" attribute is no longer valid. It's "fluid" or "fixed" per the docs (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/pa...

An officer cited him - that's on the officer, not the law.

Guy did what he thought was right. Officer did what he thought was right.

Now guy has to go to court, and (hopefully) it'll be thrown out.

…maybe it's changed in seven months, but I don't have this problem.

I'm using webpack, mind you, but I include the global variable reference in the top of my component (a la @import 'styles/settings'; ) - and I get everything I need referenced in my component.

Re: 8 Reasons Why Pageless Design is the Future of the Web

I think you have the idea, but you're shutting it out. I feel like rule #1 is: KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.

Would you create a web site tailored to children the same way you'd tailor a site for the elderly? Maybe - large type, large interaction areas. Would you do the same for a college student? Doubtful.

The downfall of this article is it doesn't include any sources to back it up. Having worked on single-page applications, it's not a "one-size fits all scenario" nor does it detract from the experience - the tech doesn't matter, but how the end user sees it, does.

On various sites I have worked on - switching from a traditional e-commerce checkout approach to a SPA architecture saw completion increase to over 30% (which was millions in revenue).

But this article reeks of opinions presented as fact, circling back to DoYouImpress's work, and the examples given in the linked article are two dead apps (okay, not dead, but the article is very "everyone I know" and not "here's actual data to back it up."

Point being - this is another tool in your toolbox. Know your audience, recognize where the work can benefit from a smoother, unified experience. But don't disregard it as a fad.

Phong - that's because you're accessing it locally - you need to have it running on a webserver (i.e. localhost) in order to stop that error.

If you have node setup then you can use http-server. Just run npm install http-server -g and you will be able to use it in terminal like http-server C:\location\to\app. (lifted from this StackOverflow post: http://stackoverflow.com/qu... )

Or you can do it through apache, or what have you.

That's pretty much it, in a nutshell. The second one is chosen? The mudslinging stops, and people move from "my favorite candidate" to "my chosen party's candidate" and then the discussion is "this is why your party sucks" again until the next presidential election (while people ignore the congressional seats, which they *really* need to be paying just as much attention to).

On gun issues - you realize he works for his constituents, right? What works in his state doesn't work everywhere.

For the Amber Alert:
"Bernie has stated that he is a strong supporter of the Amber Alert program. The reason he voted against the bill was because it had unconstitutional riders attached, particularly the sentencing provisions that Bernie felt took power away from the judiciary branch."
http://www.boston.com/news/...

For immigration reform:
"Indeed, Sanders’s vote against the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s 2007 immigration reform bill has been a thorn in Sanders’ side. He said he voted against the bill because the guest worker visa quotas in it would drive down wages for low-income workers. At the time, and still today, he did not oppose a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, but the fact remains that he opposed an immigration bill that was favored by immigration activists."

On Same-sex marriage… where are you getting that? I see Hillary changed her stance in 2009, whereas Bernie has had a long history:

On defense contracts:
"What part of the F-35? What are my options as a Senator? …if I said no to the F-35 coming to Burlington, for Vermont National Guard where would it go?... South Carolina?

My choice as a Senator, this is not a debate 20 years ago when we saw the F-35, which was very, very costly and is a huge cost overall. It’s the debate that the F-35 is here, it goes to South Carolina, or Florida, or in the state of Vermont. And I wanted it to come to the state of Vermont. Now in terms of the military spending in general, that’s another broader issue. Are we spending too much? Yes, we are. Have there been, more…well back up for a minute…we are spending too much, we should cut it."

But what are the 7% of the issues they differed on?
A casual look (quick article grab http://www.politifact.com/p... shows:
- breaking up big banks (Bernie has presented ideas, Hillary has not - not a STRONG argument here, though)
- Patriot Act - Bernie, against, Hillary, for
- foreign intervention (Bernie acting more strongly against)
- the TPP - Bernie, against, Hillary, for
- Death Penalty, Bernie, against, Hillary, for
- Keystone Pipeline, Bernie against, Hillary choosing to avoid answering it
- 2006 border fence legislation Bernie against, Hillary for.
- Offshore drilling, Bernie, against, Hillary, for.

This is a small sampling that some people may look at as being more divisive that represent those "the same 93% of the time."

I'm just glad it's not "one's pro-choice, one's pro-life, and that's how I choose my candidate" this year.

"White Male Privilege" is definitely a thing, but I'd say most white males are oblivious to it, hence not understanding it/being able to comprehend it.

I.E. "I'm poor, so what has my white male privilege gotten me?" which is akin to the "it's snowing, therefore there is no climate change" or "I have a sandwich, therefore, there is no global hunger."

Re: Issue 2’s Anti-Monopoly Language Assures Some, Troubles Others

keif — Thu, 29 Oct 2015 13:46:55 -0000

Can you link me to where they've replied "extensively" about the licenses? I asked on Facebook. They didn't reply. I've read through several comments - they don't answer anything that isn't something that is written down.

The law has several "may" and "possibly" indicating *it is not a guarantee.* That all means that commission will determine it later. Don't like what the commission determines? Tough shit - it's an amendment, and that's not easy to change.

Where in the written law that it says "there are no limits per area" or clearly define what the requirements are? People assume "I get a license, and the police will not be allowed to knock on my door or verify I'm only growing four plants!" That's not defined or stated. ResponsibleOhio's website says the limit is 4 plants per household, but the amendment does not specify per household. Stores are "similar to liqour stores" but it doesn't mention what a personal grower will be looking at.

The amendment does not legalize *all* marijuana - again, that is not clearly stated in the written law. More than one ounce? Still a crime. It also doesn't state what happens to any past marijuana only criminal offenses.

If it is not clearly defined - then it does not exist. This is not "open to personal interpretation" - that just means "open to future lawsuits because it is not clearly defined."

There are questions, not answers, and people are blindly applying a broad stroke to make them feel better about it. I want it legalized - but *not* as an amendment to benefit a small group of investors and wishy-washy stoners.

It's an oligopoly, not a monopoly.

Re: Issue 2’s Anti-Monopoly Language Assures Some, Troubles Others

keif — Wed, 28 Oct 2015 21:46:30 -0000

(Technically, I guess it's an oligopoly?)

I have yet to see RO reply when questioned about the licenses. They mention *no* timeframe for applying, what process, what guarantee, or what the requirements are. Is there an appeals process? Is there a limit per township/area?

Everyone ignores the details and acts like they can drop a check for $50 and start growing. Odds are, the seeds would have to come from an Ohio dispensary, so your current illegal grow house doesn't suddenly become legal if you drop $50.

And the argument is "prove it isn't from Ohio" - well, no one says they have to. There are a lot of questions in regards to that, but I'm not seeing answers, just assumptions.

…because he would've pulled a gun on three people in a car, and no doubt without the training or experience to handle a gun, with three people in a car, and situational awareness? Because obviously a "gun in hand" with the likely "world experience" an 18-year-old would possess would change the outcome? Or would it be "four people died in a shoot-out over a stolen phone."

Re: Houston Heights house for sale for $150

keif — Fri, 15 May 2015 13:05:29 -0000

I still think that if they hit the "refund scenario" they'll probably state "legal reasons" prevent them from selling the house, versus admitting "we didn't get enough entries to justify selling the house."

It's a total gamble, they're getting tons of free exposure, and in the end they may already know exactly who they're selling it to (unless they offer to publish all the entries, the number of entries, etc.)
