If only we hadn't blown that $1,000,000,000,000 on that war in Iraq (that we are still fighting)!

$300, 000 isn't a big deal. Even if the Mech Eng prof wastes it on hookers and blow.

A lot of things are lost on libertarians. It's punk rock for baby boomers!

The project I'm working on is currently working on a grant for $3 mill from the NSF. My boss is a dyed in the wool libertarian who denounces all government spending and would like to see the government cut down to nothing. The irony, apparently, is totally lost on him.

I unfriend you!

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

It's fun to see the same old stuff trotted out again. I worked for a company called Division (in Bristol, England) in the mid 90's. Our speciality was VR. We had everything from live-coding, to games, to military combat trainers, to nuclear power station simulations to fault analysis and engineering training systems…

On my high school football team, one of our linebackers transferred in senior year. He kept talking about "sticking a broomstick up the freshmen's asses", trying to get other people to go along with him. Nobody would, and finally someone asked him if they did that to him at his old school, and if they did he should…

And one player would howl, cut off the lights and digitally penetrate the freshman.

I wish I could tie together the fact that a recruit was leaving a program where young boys were penetrated in the locker room to attend Penn State.

Yup, I meant 55 meters. Which is 180 feet. Now fixed.

Showing up with under an hour to go is usually not a problem. I suspect he didn't CHECK IN till 45 min pre-flight. International flights board at 45 min pre-flight. Statistics indicate that passengers who have not checked in by boarding time are likely to be no-shows, so the seat is then released for sale or upgrade.

To be honest, if he is a first class passenger, I am very surprised they gave his seat away, even though 45 mn is very very short to catch an international flight. That said, I had to wait close to 2 hours in Singapore with Singapore Airlines as they were waiting for VIPs flying first class arriving late from Beijing.…

"We are investigating what happened".

What the fuck kind of traffic update is "Too many!" ?

They forgot "We have a black president so stop bitching"

Announcing that white folks freed the slaves (after enslaving them first) is a new one, though.

And oddly enough, none of them appeared to have brought their black friend to the game

Automatic assumption that black people don't have jobs. Check

One thing is for certain here: this sort of ugliness would never happen in Los Angeles. I mean, can you imagine anyone trying to stick up for the LAPD?
