Note that the truck is on a rail so no driver is endangered.

Well, pretty much every complex case has an army of denialists who insist the guy is innocent, so that may be why.

I let my subscription lapse years ago because NatGeo is SO F###ING BANAL. If they HAD done “The Bridges of Madison County,” we’d have gotten a bunch of shots of geezers sitting around playing checkers, and, if we were lucky, ONE shot of a covered bridge. It would be in the far background where the main subject was…

Obviously these people are extremely technically proficient with incredible patience and attention to detail.

Now you’re really getting out into tinfoil hat country.

Reagan in 1994 had more mental capacity than most of the people trashing him here.

Okay, so wanting to eliminate nuclear weapons is a sign of mental deficiency?

No, but don’t worry. I signed you up.

Many a geologist’s baby photo has included a hammer for scale.

Nope. There are no errors. No extraneous lines, nothing scribbled over or repurposed. And the “coloring outside the lines” is just enough to be noticeable but no more.

Okay, so they have faster than light travel and the ability to build bases hundreds of kilometers in diameter in space. Plus force fields (that’s what the big dish was doing on Endor - even the Trade Federation can do that). But they can’t make adaptive armor that changes color, can’t make personal size force fields…

Wait staff people: memorize this Bible Verse.

Conservatism bias is failing to learn that no informed person in the Western world for the last 2500 years believed the earth was flat. Ptolemy, the guy who supposedly locked Western science in a strait-jacket until Copernicus, explicity stated in his Almages that the earth was a sphere. Also, compared to the distance…

The Amish are just fine with technology, but only if it doesn’t interfere with their idea of a holy life. They’ll use electricity for work, but not TV. They’ll ride in an ambulance but not use a car for personal convenience. And there are many sects that draw the lines in different ways, but it’s carefully thought…

One thing that absolutely pi$$eth me off, as a Christian, are those religious tracts disguised as a $20 bill. Something about

Rogue Nation was great, Jurassic World was good, Inside Out was great, Ant-Man was way better than the premise would lead you to believe. Just saw Walk in the Woods, which isn’t a monumental movie but pleasant. Redford is mostly a prop, but Nolte steals the movie.

Most of these just make me angry but Delia’s tormentor probably had a personality disorder that her family was all too aware of. (The rest might, too. Is “@$$****” in DSM-V?) A salute to the husband for being gracious enough to give her a nice tip.

Shatner does suck. But he doesn’t care, and that makes him fun to watch. He’ll parody himself gleefully, because he just loves hamming it up.

Scores is bad but better than the hundreds that would be killed by carpet bombing or artillery bombardment. Is it at all possible that the people we’re trying to hit have any moral culpability?

Have you ever noticed that the more precise or non-lethal weapons get, the more some people oppose them? Bullets are replaced by rubber bullets or tasers, carpet bombing by drones, cluster bombs by these, artillery by precision guided munitions, and the more it becomes possible to reduce innocent casualties, the…
