I don't like bacon. What bothers me is his policies about wine and raki.

I wouldn't utter that to loudly around here with all all the carnivores.

I don't know what his policies on these subjects are but the rest of the world expects y'all to keep up with production and consumption.

Too many cat videos on youtube?
That's too bad. Hopefully you will still find a way to get around it without getting in trouble. Can't get enough cat videos. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Banning facebook would probably increase workplace productivity significantly.
Banning YouTube would probably increase literacy across the board.
Not bad ideas, really

Turks had more freedom when the army had more power, and protected Mustafa Kemal's legacy. I lived in Ankara (worked at Genel Kurmay Başkanlığı) in the mid-1970s, when the generals were often in the news, but it was still a lively and interesting place to be.

What I think is that Mustafa Kemal's legacy has to be protected by people, not by army or some other institution. when you delegate your duty to other party, you risk it somehow. Ataturk knew that and said those great words to Turkish youth.

Unfortunately, we ended up this fake sultan.

Since I am ranting today:
I really wish Javascript based images and ads would load the style element of their blocks first! I hate reading blogs on my mobile phone because some idiot thinks that deciding images and sizes and link locations is best done after the page load in the DOM instead of good old fashioned HTML.
Heck, even Shopify the shopping cart provider I signed up for does it with many things, sigh.

Well, stop reading blogs on your phone then. Get a proper computer.

Your response to his rant is lacking in thought IMHO.
If we all use a different device then the solution will be to keep our minds in the past.
Just as re-writing the source could be performed at the server level to accommodate these nuances, there is no reason that the jQuery library (et al) cannot properly detect and change aspects which would hinder the user experience such as touch vs click inter alia.
A small portion of code would be able to test element geometry and subtract for features which would not add to the experience unless specifically wanted by the developer of the site just as browser detection was performed in the past.
Until the content is called to be rendered on the device there is really no expectation of it and thus we have to change the way we develop out sites so that the above concepts can be fluidly applied to the rendering environment and provide for the experience we desire on all platforms.

I hate people who use new high tech cool stuff when they don't need to, and it makes the experience worse than if they'd just used the simple technology that's already there. Dynamically loaded content, particularly done in an onLoad without the right layout settings applied in static markup so it jumps around, is particularly annoying.

I got a challenge here at work I could use some help solving. The Tribe has a dirt racetrack at the casino, and they have some events scheduled soon. They've asked for us (the power company) to light the track for night use. I can design a lighting system, but I have no idea how bright to make it. I'm sure there's a standard for this at pro racetracks, something like a min/max lumens at 'X' meters above grade, but I can't find it, and Google isn't being helpful. I have been able to locate recommendations for parking lots, roadways, sidewalks, and even track and field events, but not auto racing.
Can any of you experts enlighten me?

Don't worry about it. No one is actually watching the race anyway.

Thanks, Dave - that's quite helpful! 
NHRA standards call for 3x 1000W Metal Halide lamps mounted on poles spaced 150' apart, but without knowing the mounting details and exact model of lamps used, there's no way to calculate what that equates to on the ground.
