Yep. I’m not 100% sure it’s the same between GSM, CDMA, and LTE (which IMO is a kind of CDMA) but, probably?

White* New Englander here. You’ve pretty much got it, but there are a lot of Somalis who ended up in Lewiston/Auburn. (I see them in the local BJs). So you’re not going to be the Black person in the state. I’d be more likely to warn Black friends away from New Hampshire, excepting Portsmouth.

So, who in Pyongyang is going to tell Kim he can’t invade SK? Yes, I know it won’t work, will end up being a disaster for NK, but does he? I still have a suspicion that he has unification as a goal. Telling him he can’t do something probably wouldn’t go well to the teller - so who would tell him? I guess he’d need to…

As far as I’m concerned anybody with a TRUMP bumper sticker is an illegal alien. Even more so, if they’ve got a “Hillary for Prison” sign out front.

I got a chance to drive a Sherman for about 10 minutes when I was in college (long story). This was on a ‘tank range’ where there were pretty much no obstructions.

The violence almost certainly pushed many more Catalans farther away from Spain

I’m not suggesting Carl Sagan style ‘Nuclear Winter’ (everybody starves to death), but a post-Krakatoa-like event, meaning a couple-three years of failed crops in some areas.

She’s a hawk. But a hawk that also understood the delicate dance that takes place and the essential nature of diplomacy to be coupled with actual aggression.

Don’t forget nuclear winter. Not being able to grow crops for a few years will have an impact.

I suspect the whole point of NK getting nukes/ICBMs is not so much to prevent an Iraq/Saddam style defeat (although that’s a goal, too) but to reunify Korea under Pyongyang. The scenario I’m worried about goes as follows: NK nukes Guam and simultaneously invades SK. The US is is dissuaded from intervention by, nuke…

Well, we certainly have some Trump apologists here.

We have one here in Massachusetts as well. It’s on the island in which Confederate POWs had been imprisoned. The monument doesn’t glorify anything; just lists their names and the date they passed away.

Semi-related: if you have a Tilley hat, most models have a lifetime guarantee. One of mine, in the course of 9 or 10 years, went through a lot, was starting to fray at the brim. They cheerfully replaced it with a new one.

White guy here. Yeah, some of ‘us’ are basically assholes. I’m a bit floored that some people are upset about players taking a knee to remind everybody that the anthem isn’t about black people. But, hey, assholes, right?

I’d guess it’s after-effects of redlining - or actual redlining. After effects in the sense that non-white minorities had the opportunity to inherit less. Full disclosure: I am white, inherited real estate worth, well, a bit. I might be typical. But non-whites in my age group have not had this because their parents…

I see this more as a failure on the hiring end.

It seems to have been there all along. To quote Trumsterfire: SAD.

This is the reason that we are an independent nation instead of a colony of England. That whole ‘taxation without representation’ thing...

Alright, let’s pretend that a hybrid sports car weighs the same as a regular car (somehow) and costs roughly the same. Would you consider it then?

The speaker says “believe me”, like our liar-in-chief.
