I can speak to the cheering part. I live near a major Regional HQ for the EPA, and my neighbor is a senior person (non-political appointee) at that Regional office. So senior that he had to have his picture taken with Pruitt and we all gave him shit about it.
We were sitting at the pool (it was his CWS day) when the…

Go fuck yourself? Is that the correct sentiment for this right now? I think it may be...

Go fuck yourself.

This is why we can’t have nice things, people.
Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm owe lifelong fans NOTHING! You got the movies you wanted 40 years ago. If you don’t like the new ones, fuck off!

Also, it’s been a tradition that the most recent ex-President step out of the limelight for at least the first term of his successor. Professional courtesy. And we know that Obama values norms and traditions of the office to which he was elected. Overwhelmingly. Twice.

Alas, these are not normal times, we stand on the…

I will bet good money that’s the number to his government issued cell phone, which of course is paid for by taxpayers, and that makes the number public domain.

Wizard and Glass and what other one?
I also particularly loved Insomnia, then end had me bawling it was so beautiful.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

Why not dredge this thing back up... it seems like it might fit the bill:

Banana in the tailpipe?

Who the fuck are you? You’ve said NOTHING that gives any indication that you have anything substantive to add to any discussion, not just this one.

That’s the easy way out. So just shut the fuck up if you don’t have anything substantive to say.

Um, okay. Then do better. I dare you.

Why is it bullshit? It’s been the overriding impetus of their foreign policy since the Agreed Framework in 1994. It is, in their mind, the key to preserving the concept of Juche (self reliance) and the Korean identity.
Until you can provide more than three words refuting what I’ve said, I’m gonna have to say you’re…

if you build it deep enough, with chambers and tunnels going off in different directions to channel and contain the blast, you can “safely” test even a medium-sized nuke underground.

Actually, he’s only partially wrong. Their ballistic missile technology is also a source of export dollars, particularly to Pakistan and Iran.
However, their nuclear arsenal is of ultimate concern to the Kim family, who has seen it as the primary guarantor of their security for almost 30 years.

Thank you?

This isn’t a huge deal, but trading in my 1996 Ford Contour LX for a 2004 Chevy Malibu. The Contour was loaded, with the V6 shoehorned into the engine well and a 5-speed manual tranny, and more importantly PAID FOR. It was reliable as hell, never game me a day of trouble, and still looked newish.

1983 Mustang GT. I was in Jr. High when this car started filtering down to my small town high school. Holy shit, I loved this car.

You just answered your own question. I guess you could use the term “casualty” but victim is the term du jour.

Yes, the lead time is a killer, they try to ake the determination about six months in advance, based on the strains that are prevalent in the southern hemisphere. The problem is that all flu strains mutate, and H3N2 mutates faster than others.
