And in the US today, we are cutting the fleet down to less than 300 ships and cleaning house of experienced officers and enlisted to the point we will not be able to effectively fight a two-front conflict. Our "ghost fleet" has been pretty much wiped out. All while our potential adversaries are greatly building their…

I sure wish I was rich so I could hire a plane to leaflet bomb this article here in Portland.

IMO, the problem lies in the law. Used to be, there were only a handful of professions exempt from overtime pay. As the years went on, corporations lobbied for more and more professions to be made exempt, and the government’s been all-to-happy to oblige them. Just because you are salary does not automatically make you…

I would gladly wait 3-6 months longer for a good game made under more humane conditions than get a rushed bug ridden game where everyone worked 80 hours for weeks on end

It’s something you got to experience for yourself I guess, too bad people can be pretty ignorant and not take it seriously.

It’s about getting your fair cut and not being exploited. Not about being a paid whore.

Normally I would have agreed but after the very touching last episode for Futurama, I honestly want them to leave it be. Die a hero before it becomes the villain.

Great. Now every cop in the country has a reason for shooting you if you have a phone in your hand. Thanks a fucking lot!!!

Actually, one more photo came back just before impact.

What if it’s just laying there on the surface, not dead, just injured. Continuing to send out images to please its human masters, but it’s transmitter is unknowingly damaged and nothing gets out.

“What is that coming up at me. It is certainly moving very fast. It is awfully big, whatever it is. I should give it a big sounding name like... ound.... round... ground, yes, ground, that is what I will call it. I wonder if it will be my friend?”

Not so much the “last picture captured” as the “last picture emailed”. It kept doing its job until the very end, but unfortunately being on the other side of a ball of iron it was out of signal range when it crashed.

I love it when people say psychological pain is not real. These people who suffer from this bizarre psychological disorder are no doubt in hell. It’s no less torturous than an actual physical malady.

I don’t doubt that people who’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia are experiencing physical symptoms, but every time I see a commercial for fibromyalgia specific drugs, (Lyrica, I think?)
