You are a senior officer of a fictional army in the near future. Your govt has approved the production of a new APC that can carry up to 16 infantrymen, and you're expected to fill as many slots as you can. How do you reorganize your infantry squads/sections? Get sixteen slots filled up and you get that promotion you've been waiting for.

What are some good TV shows made in the past 15 years? No shows with laugh tracks.

Fixing Social Security?
In the USA, people are living longer and the birth rate is decreasing. These facts are problematic for continued funding of Social Security, funded through the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA), a flat 12.4% payroll tax where employers and employees contribute equally. This tax is levied on the first $117,000 of income for employment; amounts earned above that are not taxed (this is the tax cap). Historically, tax receipts and interest income have exceeded benefit payments and other expenditures, but without further legislation, or change in benefits, this annual surplus will change to a deficit around 2021, when payments begin to exceed receipts and interest thereafter because the number of workers paying into the program continues declining relative to those receiving benefits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_debate_in_the_United_States

An estimated 161 million people paid into the program and 57 million received benefits in 2012, roughly 2.82 workers per beneficiary. The number of workers paying into the program was 5.1 per retiree in 1960; this declined to 3.3 in 2007 and is projected to decline to 2.1 by 2035. And life expectancy continues to increase, meaning retirees collect benefits longer. Proposed fixes are to raising the payroll tax rate to 15.0% (from the current 12.4%) or cutting benefits by 16.2% or eliminating the income cap of $117,000 would address the program's budgetary concerns. Or the program could be privatized, but corporate theft or an economic catastrophe could ruin this social safety net.

As for the previous accumulated surpluses deposited in the Social Security Trust Fund, they were borrowed, spent and added to the US National Debt, so forget that shit. http://www.slate.com/articles/briefing/articles/1996/12/social_security_from_ponzi_scheme_to_shell_game.html

What would you suggest to fix Social Security?

- Medicare & Social Security Deficits Chart, September 2008
Payroll tax revenues dedicated to these programs are not sufficient to cover their costs. Medicare HI refers to Hospital Insurance (Part A). Other parts of Medicare also are costly. Note that the Social Security surplus tax receipts reduce the "total" deficit figure often reported in the media. If we go from a $200 billion Social Security surplus today to a $200 billion deficit in the future, this is a $400 billion increase to the deficit often reported in the media.
• Today, Social Security taxes exceed Social Security benefits—the Social Security surplus is invested in Treasuries and it offsets the deficit in the rest of government
• BUT that surplus shrinks in 2009 and disappears in 2017, so

OPERATOR 14/10/17(Fri)14:41 No. 90934 ID: d87b8d >>90909 this. alot of windows "services" (daemons to *nixfags) are implemented as DLLs. svchost.exe "service host" is the application that's called to take these service DLLs, load them up and actually run as an application. When you start killing random svchost instances, you're hard-killing windows services. This could be your audio manager (in your case), WPA key manager, wifi AP auto-enumeration service...countless things. using services.msc is a good idea for cutting down on use. also, msconfig is a good tool for disabling what services and programs load at startup. finally, look up what a bare-bones windows install should have as it's running processes, and individually google any remaining processes you have active to discover their nature (certain machines need stuff like mouse driver managers, etc, to function properly even though they're not part of a bare bones windows process list)

  Really interesting discussion. I've been on a Cody Wilson kick since Ghost Gunner dropped.

Are you under 50 years old, willing to make daily trips to Medford, and have regular bowel movements? You, my friend, could be earning $40 a day—just for pooping.

All you have to do is visit OpenBiome, launched in 2012 as the only independent nonprofit stool bank in the country. The brainchild of MIT postdoctoral associate Mark Smith, OpenBiome collects, tests, and provides fecal samples to 122 hospitals in 33 states for one of the most interesting medical treatment innovations today: fecal microbiota transplantation.

“Think of us as a blood bank, but for poop,” said Smith, who developed OpenBiome when he saw the gap in the medical structure to provide many patients with the life-saving fecal samples. “You shouldn’t have to fly across the country to get poop.”

Smith works with a team of full-time and part-time researchers, graduate students, gastroenterologists, and business minds to ensure that fecal samples are in every city and town and within a two-hour radius for every person who needs them. Smith said that they’ve hit the four-hour radius so far.

Wait, who wants someone else’s poop?

To keep your digestive and immune systems functioning properly, your body needs to maintain a natural balance of bacteria in your gut. But antibiotics taken to treat infections kill both “good” and “bad” bacteria indiscriminately. They kill it all, upsetting the balance and making the gastrointestinal tract susceptible to C. difficile, a “bad” bacteria. The resulting infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, affects more than 500,000 Americans per year, causing fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and serious diarrhea—and kills 14,000 Americans per year, especially in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

There are antibiotics that treat C. difficile, but as many as 20 percent of the infections return.

Our poop, it turns out, is a plentiful source of this good bacteria, and how do you get one person’s good-bacteria-filled poop into an ailing person? A fecal transplant.

A 56-year-old man is recovering in a Calgary hospital after getting mauled by a grizzly bear while hunting Sunday morning near the southern B.C. town of Fernie.

A spokesman for STARS air ambulance says a crew responded to an emergency call just before 9:30 a.m.

David Fairbanks says the man was not only attacked, but also shot by his hunting partner who was trying to neutralize the animal.

B.C.’s environment ministry says the hunting partner managed to kill the bear and was not injured in the incident.

Conservation officers and other first responders rushed to the scene. The victim was driven out of the forested area on an ATV, then flown by helicopter to a Calgary hospital.

The man was in stable condition when he was flown from the area and his injuries are described as non life-threatening.

Provincial conservation officers from Fernie and Cranbrook, B.C., are examining the scene.

Grizzly encounters near Fernie are common, particularly in the nearby Flathead Valley, where there are more than 150 of the bears – one per 15 square kilometres – according to the city’s tourism website.
