Said some top foreign politics expert on Reddit!
"Being tough is just stupid" well that would clearly explain why Trump has been acting nothing but aggressive with them since the day he stepped foot in the door yet here you are cheerleading him with a conflicting view. He's a stupid guy.
It's amazing how this is all praise for Trump. The guy starting a trade war with his allies, which he will lose. The guy who has multiple links and is currently under investigation for collusion with a foreign entity. His administration is nothing short of a shambles with a 40% turnover rate.
I'm more concerned about the sudden change of heart from an evil regime who was quite content up until now to subject its own people to work camps, fear, malnutrition and brainwashing. Also attacking SK a multitude of times, even very recently. They just launched a nuclear capable rocket over Japan not a few month ago.
You people never cease to amaze me just how naive and forgiving you can all be.

No, it's literally how it works for companies that don't pay dividends. Berkshire Hathaway for example. Instead of giving you a portion of their profits as cash they reinvest the profits, year after year. But because they're making money the value of your stock increases. Your dividend is included within the value of your stock, you can sell some whenever you want to take it.
You own 10% of company A which has a total market cap of $2,000,000. Company A makes $100,000 profit and distributes it as a dividend. You receive $10,000. Company A is still worth $2,000,000 but now you have $10k cash. You can buy more company A stock if you like, increasing your holdings to $210,000, or keep cash. Up to you.
You also own 10% of company B which also has a total market cap of $2,000,000. It also makes $100,000 in profit, but company B reinvests the money itself. It is now worth $2,100,000 and your shares are worth $210,000. You can sell 4.7% of your shares for $10,000 if you want.
There's really no difference between the two. You don't care whether or not they distribute a dividend, you care whether they make money. You can choose to reinvest a cash dividend into increasing your investment if you want. You can choose to cash out an increase in the value of your investment if you want. They're the same thing.

Extremely loud from my experience. Announcements, promos, walk out music was like standing next to a speaker in a very loud night club. As for the crowd itself, pretty quiet during the fights unless something note-worthy happens then it's ~15000 people screaming and cheering. | du26zus | Hitting with, or getting hit on your thumb happens from time to time. It's unavoidable (see Weidman's thumb injury) and the added padding does help when it happens. I know there's a huge difference between grappling barehanded and grappling with gloves on but going from 4s to 7s is not as big of a step up.
Many high end brands will provide excellent wrist support, I found fairtex's to be the best for me but Hayabusa are also excellent. It's not about getting smashed up by your partners but injuring yourself instead. OP is looking for gloves for both training and sparring with. I'm assuming this will include pad and bag work which will be tough on your hands. I'm only basing my opinions on personal experiences, I'm a heavyweight, I hit hard when I'm on the bag or pads and had previously gotten my hands and wrists injuries from training, that's why I always opt in for most protection I can get these days and recommend the same to others. | e2yvvfo | 1 |

movement towards shared space. The study acknowledges that the findings in this section are
controversial and would rely on very substantial changes in the work practices of the organisations,
particularly the ABC.
/u/testofdetail's comment isn't stupid imo. If you're inclined to think they should be merged it definitely reads that way. It does seem positive about the idea, to me. But it's not saying "Do it" it's saying "Discuss it" and acknowledges there'll be downsides whose full impact is pretty hard to predict.
I think it should be pointed out /u/testofdetail provided the page number. If I hadn't I probably wouldn't have been arsed to look for myself and form my own view.
> the study calculated an
immediate net saving of approximately million may be achievable.
I assume they mean One Million Dollars. Over what? Even if that's yearly, how well does that stack up against these vague yet ominous "very substantial changes in the work practices of the organisations". A million bucks is not something you throw away for nothing (well, not something *I* do, anyway, this fucking government loses more than that behind their couch cushions every night) but we'd need to know what we're gonna lose to know if it's worth trying. | e6sdtrq | 0 |
On a lot of fashion forums, wool-blends are generally regarded as being worse and lower quality compared to pure wool or all natural blends. On r/femalefashionadvice, there was recently a [thread]( https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/7otsul/quality_difference_between_men_and_women_clothing/) about J.Crew wool sweaters and how women’s sweaters contain more synthetic materials and are lower quality. However, the term quality can mean several things and may be difficult to quantify. Furthermore, confirmation bias, price expectation, or selective care of big-ticket items may contribute to perception of quality. To narrow down the definition, I did some research on textile research articles that studied quantifications of quality, specifically fabric rigidity and pilling tendencies.
**Fabric Rigidity and Decrimpling**
Source: [The Low-Stress Mechanical Properties of Wool and Wool-Blend Woven Fabrics](http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/004051758105101203)
*Types of Fabrics and Traits Measured*
In the study, values for tensile properties and decrimpling were measured from fabrics with the same linear density but different wool/polyester compositions. Taking a specific look at the commercial fabrics studied, the five 2 x 2 twill-weaves consisted of 100% Wool, 87.5/12.5% W/Pe, 70/30% W/Pe, 45/55% W/Pe, and 30/70% W/Pe. There were also 2 commercial plain-weave fabrics studied which were 70/30% W/Pe and 45/55% W/Pe. Tensile properties were measured by observing changes in length and stress-strain using a machine that stretched the fabrics at a constant rate. Decrimping was calculated using the curvilinear length and bending rigidity of the yarn in a normalized formula.
*Tensile Properties Results for Commercial Fabrics*
The report states that “there was a trend for initial relative tensile modulus to become less with increasing wool content in the blend” for the five twill fabrics. However, the correlation was at 0.66 which was considered poor. Looking at yarn decrimpling values, the study found “no systematic variation with percentage blend composition.” Focussing on weave type, the study reported the plain weave fabrics were “about 50% more rigid” and that the decrimping amount “was also dependant on the weave structure.” In regards to fabric-bending, there were “no definite trends with the percentage blend composition and weave-construction” for the twill commercial fabrics.
**Pilling Behaviour**

*Types of Fabrics and Procedure*
The study looked at 16 2 x 2 wool/polyester blends spun at twist levels commonly set for commercial clothing. The fabrics were short-staple, medium weight at ~270 g/m^2 to be used in suiting and trousers. They were finished in the standard way for worsted fabrics or unconventionally with a polymer finish, high temperature dye, and compressive shrink. Out of the 16 fabrics tested, 4 were 100% wool, 8 were 70/30% W/Pe, 2 were 50/50% W/Pe, and 2 were 30/70% W/Pe.
The fabrics were tested in four ways: ICI Pill box, Atlas Random Tumbler, Martindale abrader, and through a real-life wear trial. The ICI Pill box and Atlas Random Tumbler are laboratory machines that cause and measure pilling. The Martindale abrader is a machine that rubs a fabric roughly 1000 times, then produces a value of 1 (Very severe pilling) to 5 (No pills). In the real-life wear trial, trousers made of the 16 different fabrics were rotated among 14 people with similar waist and leg measurements. Every four days, the trousers were dry-cleaned and passed on to the next wearer. There were two wear trials, the first lasting 54 days and the second lasting 6-9 months with dry-cleaning occurring every 14 to 28 days.
*Pilling Analysis Results*
When the fabrics went through the ICI Pill box and Atlas Random Tumbler, “none of the fabrics showed signs of surface hariness.” After testing, the differences between the 16 fabrics was small. The results of the Martindale abrader did show a trend involving fabric composition. For the conventionally finished fabrics, higher wool content did result in less pilling. The pilling ratings at one twist level went from 5 at 100% wool, 3.5 at 70% wool, 3 at 50% wool, and 2 at 30% wool. At 100% wool, there was almost no pilling while at 30% wool there was severe pilling. For the unconventionally finished fabrics, the results were similar. The pilling ratings went from 4.5 at 100% wool, 2.0 at 70% wool, 1.5 at 50% wool, and 1.5 at 30% wool. The finishing process seems to have slightly increased the amount of pilling. (All the exact results are shown in Table II and III in the study) However, the test results were not directly observed in day to day use. In the wear trial, none of the trousers had pilling ratings of less than 4-5. For all 16 fabrics, either no pilling or minimal pilling occurred. The study concluded that “the laboratory Martindale results did not give an indication of performance in wear.”
**Discussion**
It seems that overall, there is no consistent trend in rigidity and pilling in regard to wool composition. In the first study, the measures could predict how long a sweater will last and how stretchy it is. Surprisingly, as the amount of wool increased, the tensile modulus rating actually decreased (albeit a weak correlation). When it came to decrimpling and how well a fabric bends, there was no trend in regard to fabric composition. In the second study, the measures directly reported how a sweater pills. Out of the four measures used, three measures did not show any trend in regard to fabric composition. The Martindale abrader, which did show a trend, did not translate into real-life. This may be explained by the fact that fabrics in daily use are not systematically rubbed 1000 times.
Other factors that may affect rigidity and pilling, such as weave and fabric finishing seem to be overlooked by consumers. In the first study, the weave type actually influenced how rigid the fabric was, specifically the plain weave increasing rigidity by 50%. Decrimpling was also influenced by the fabric’s weave pattern. In the second study, staple length and the presence of a polymer coating influenced the amount of pilling. The second study reported that “short-staple blend fabrics should be made from high-twist yarns and preferably pressure-decatized or polymer-treated” to prevent the results seen in the Martindale abrader test.
**Conclusion and Advice**
Fabric composition doesn’t matter from a rigidity and pilling standpoint. If you care about how well a sweater stretches and bends, look at weave structure and yarn volume. This information may be harder to get from stores compared to fabric composition. If you care about pilling, ask about how a fabric is finished and what types of yarns are used for the garment. Again, difficult to actually get. Wool % is not the major, or even a substantial determiner of quality. In my opinion, choose a fabric based on more subjective characteristics such visual features or comfort against skin.
**Limitations**
I tried my best to write a good summary of the papers I read but definitely read them for yourself if you are interested. The studies do not go into other blend materials such as nylon, polyamide, or viscose. Also, the two papers were published in 1981. So take the advice with some skepticism and hopefully greater curiosity. I will try to find more resources to write about but I encourage everyone to do research themselves and present their own conclusions. | 7r4013 | Maybe tailor your shirt to slim it down?

On a lot of fashion forums, wool-blends are generally regarded as being worse and lower quality compared to pure wool or all natural blends. On r/femalefashionadvice, there was recently a [thread]( https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/7otsul/quality_difference_between_men_and_women_clothing/) about J.Crew wool sweaters and how women’s sweaters contain more synthetic materials and are lower quality. However, the term quality can mean several things and may be difficult to quantify. Furthermore, confirmation bias, price expectation, or selective care of big-ticket items may contribute to perception of quality. To narrow down the definition, I did some research on textile research articles that studied quantifications of quality, specifically fabric rigidity and pilling tendencies.
**Fabric Rigidity and Decrimpling**

*Types of Fabrics and Traits Measured*
In the study, values for tensile properties and decrimpling were measured from fabrics with the same linear density but different wool/polyester compositions. Taking a specific look at the commercial fabrics studied, the five 2 x 2 twill-weaves consisted of 100% Wool, 87.5/12.5% W/Pe, 70/30% W/Pe, 45/55% W/Pe, and 30/70% W/Pe. There were also 2 commercial plain-weave fabrics studied which were 70/30% W/Pe and 45/55% W/Pe. Tensile properties were measured by observing changes in length and stress-strain using a machine that stretched the fabrics at a constant rate. Decrimping was calculated using the curvilinear length and bending rigidity of the yarn in a normalized formula.

The report states that “there was a trend for initial relative tensile modulus to become less with increasing wool content in the blend” for the five twill fabrics.

Guessing China. People are so afraid of the medical bills, they'll try to make sure they kill people they hit before they even consider helping. | dvgnzlo | To be fair: Some of these organizations get into self-driving technology so they can ride the wake of a bigger player and not be left behind when the market picks up. It's a relief when something happens that could block it legislatively for them because they can stop investing in it, while claiming they were behind the technology all along.
The same thing and worse happened to electric vehicles in their early development. Everyone got behind it with concept cars, but then wouldn't follow up because it quickly became too expensive to build.
Not to worry. People now are paying attention to who steps out of the ring on technological development to save face. The same way people pay attention more to politics now. These decisions will have long-lasting consequences. r/quityourbullshit is going to have a lot of material in 2018. | dwebxeo | 1 |

And this is why you don't discount Alabama. | ds2ebov | You can't compare them now but Drew Brees 15 years ago is an easy one.
Player A
> **Positives**...A good athlete with mobility. Finds a way to wiggle out of trouble and can take off running for first downs. Not a sprinter but can’t be ignored as a runner...Solid arm strength. Demonstrated on multiple occasions that he can cut it loose down the field with enough velocity to hit receivers in stride...Shows quickness to get the ball out fast. No extra time taken when having to get rid of it. Serves him well when pressure is in his face...Accuracy and ball placement show up even when he’s on the run. Does a good job of not forcing his receivers to constantly adjust to the football in flight...Doesn’t lack for toughness. Took some pretty nasty shots in some games and kept getting back up for more. Teammates will approve of that...Can deliver some camera-juking pump fakes, indicating he likely has big hands. That will explain how he’s able to deliver the ball so well.
> **Negatives**...Has lived in the shotgun his entire college career. Played in a classic spread offense. No idea how to play under center or take drops...Lack of size is going to be a concern. Though not extremely short, he’s giving up vital inches that will make vision and healthy primary questions at the next level...Somewhat reckless at times with his decision-making. Will throw into tight coverages, trusting in his accuracy that will lead to interceptions in the NFL...Can have a bad tendency to hold the football trying to keep plays alive. Opens him up to frequent hits and also fumbling the football.
Player B
> **Positives**... Touch passer with the ability to read and diagnose defensive coverages...Confident leader who knows how to take command in the huddle...Very tough and mobile moving around in the pocket...Has a quick setup and is very effective throwing on the move... Throws across his body with great consistency...Hits receivers in stride and improvises his throws in order to make a completion...Puts good zip behind the short and mid-range passes...Shows good judgement and keen field vision...Has a take-charge attitude and is very cool under pressure...Hits receivers in motion with impressive velocity...Has superb pocket presence and uses all of his offensive weapons in order to move the chains...Has solid body mechanics and quickness moving away from center...Elusive scrambler with the body control to avoid the rush.
> **Negatives**...Plays in the spread offense, taking the bulk of his snaps from the shotgun...Tends to side-arm his passes going deep...Lacks accuracy and touch on his long throws...Seems more comfortable in the short/intermediate passing attack...Does not possess the ideal height you look for in a pro passer, though his ability to scan the field helps him compensate in this area...Will improvise and run when the passing lanes are clogged, but tends to run through defenders rather than trying to avoid them to prevent unnecessary punishment.
This is two separate scouting reports one is Rookie Drew the other is current Mayfield. The mayfield one comes from NFL network and the Drew's came from either ESPN I think. | dvdvsnj | 1 |

This is talking about situations like where someone is moved from a different country under the promise of a certain number of hours at a certain wage and a certain room and board, all provided by the same organization, and then has it changed on them when they arrive.
Having to solve your own existential crisis does not make you a slave. If you can't point to a person or organization that is enslaving you (i.e. a slavemaster), you are not a slave. Your employer who has offered you more money than anyone else to work at a job that you are allowed to walk away from at any time is not your slavemaster.
You are trivializing modern slavery with this suggestion. Shame on you. | e2hzi0x | > But that trade is: 1. Unfair as the worker only gets a fraction of the value he creates
Yeah, but life is unfair. And while he gets a fraction of the value created during that hour of labour he puts in, he's still taking home more value than he would have been able to create alone, because the other components of what made that hour very productive wouldn't have been there had someone not invested for that stuff to be set up. You'd have to bake in far more monstrous and destructive things than income inequality to make everything perfectly fair. You have to consider that.
> The worker has to engage in this trade (or he starves/lives in squalor).
Yes. I'm sorry, but most of us will have to do *some* work in order to stave off hunger and destitution. That's the nature of the entropic universe we live in. Point is, when you work on your own, you barely make ends meet. When you trade with a modern capitalistic society, most people (even common labourers) get food that's rich in calories, a roof over their head, central heating, basic health care, a smart phone, a flat screen TV... | e2jxqhj | 1 |

Again, this isn't the 1950s. Robots do most of the manufacturing. The engineers that build and maintain those robots are doing just fine, so they won't be part of the "revolution". The working class isn't anywhere close to having the clout that they used to have. | e2hz73g | 0 |
