And we shall hurl our poop back. And all will be good.

Because she has a sword, a gun, a mask, a cool outfit, a horse, and looks like an adventurer or bandit, all of which promise action-packed fun. Is that not “badass” enough for you?

Hide your lupines!

A launch without delays is like a program without bugs - it almost never happens and you tend to think you missed something.

Actually most lab diamonds are not gem quality. Most applications for them are industrial in nature. Even the ones that are gem quality are not exactly in demand because they have too much nitrogen in them which gives them a pee yellow color, and since they are not mass produced they don’t have any significant cost…

DeBeers no longer controls the diamond market. As of 2015, they only hold about 37% of the market. For about the last 10 years or so (really since Canada and Russia started shipping large numbers of diamonds) the diamond market has been more or less demand driven.

Hopefully a new precedent will be set, as this suit sounds like a pretty big deal;

Exactly. Even if you’re very calm when you reiterate your rights, they can be so quick to anger that it doesn’t even matter how you say it/comport yourself. It’s a losing game. If one more person posts some dumb “If you don’t want to get arrested/harassed by cops, don’t do anything illegal” shit on fb, I think I might…

You can’t just go around touching people if you think they have something. You can legally search them if it’s a situation where you can legally search them, or you can back the fuck away.

Years ago there was a Jack in the Box commercial for a chipotle burger that jokingly pronounced it “Chip-a-ta-po-lee!”. That stuck in my head and is my preferred mispronunciation now.

I purposely mis-pronounce it as “chipotel”, because damnit, I’m from Denver, and I can mispronounce Spanish mispronunciations of Nahuatl words however a damn well please.

I like to order my lunch from a taco truck near my building and few things will set my teeth on edge as listening to people mispronounce Spanish words. “Poy-yo” not “polo”. “Ah-sah-da” not “a-say-day”. And, of course, “It’s not... spicy, is it?”

Free popcorn in a tray is our early front runner for best bco submission of 2015.

I feel like that manager deprived the health department of a really amusing experience, though.

The Herk's ability to remain slow but not too slow. One of the cautionary notes is not to let indicated airspeed drop below 105 knots, because the drogue that stabilizes the hose will droop. A CH-53 is a 40-ton Cuisinart, and the main rotors get incredibly close when the hose is in refueling range. (When you run out…
