It’s sinister because of two reasons: a) if the Clintons are involved in explicit shenanigans (meaning they are knowingly selling influence), they are almost certainly never going to be provable, and b) influence is often not explicitly realized by the parties involved—so there could be shenanigans without the…

I love you HamNo. I can’t recall any writer that pissed me off or made me love you as often as you do. I guess that means you’re doing your job. Keep it up.

Is the US Soccer Federation a government entity? Otherwise, it can’t violate her 1st amendment rights.

“A company has every right to defend their copyrights”

And, as much as it might be unfair—when has “followed all the rules” ever mattered to someone with deep pockets that decides to sue?

You can’t possibly be as conflicted as all of us menfolk are now regarding the concept of “lady boner”.

I understand the sentiment, but price and value are two different things (see “water”). And determining price based on worth is a good way to screw up your position in any market.

Couple it with some directional mics to pick up the “Arrrrrrrr”s and problem solved!

There are pirate attacks near ports with other traffic. In addition, you can bet that pirates will bring non-combatant ships or persons with them if they know they can get the autonomous weapons to attack them or at the very least confuse them.

Which will be problematic given their habit of not being able to perfectly distinguish between pirates and non-pirates.

The best part about the space quest series WAS the dying. It was a blast seeing just how many creative ways you could get yourself killed.

Good luck!

Good luck!

You clearly have no children, nor live in anything resembling a neighborhood. I suspect few people share your view.

I didn’t know they let children have Kinja accounts...

It feels odd to me that after decades of trying to impress into the mainstream that it is not ok to associate a professional woman’s accomplishments with her looks that the implication is somehow ok in this context.

Otoh... there are jobs that must be taken that seriously regardless of the innocent-seeming context. My father had a story he told me recently about when he was an officer in the Air Force inspecting nuclear missile silos. The short of it is that he got tackled and held at gun point once when his badge fell off in the…

It’s both. But there are only two ways to live within your means: make more money than you spend or spend less money than you make.

Yeah, this is seriously irresponsible, especially the focus on one small expense. This is like handing a carte-blanche rationalization to anyone struggling with financial discipline:

I can’t disagree with that—I just think it is a bit strong to imply that is the guaranteed difference between winning the championship or not. Even if Cleveland had the optimal personnel and best coach they could have, they can still lose.
