A rate so high archliberal Kennedy was compelled to cut it.

Fine. RS vs. Erdely wasn’t actually the point of my post. It was that people think Eramo was getting promoted because of the shitass article written by thatsbesidethepoint.

But... but... I pay for the WaPo and The Economist! (Along with Fast Company if that’s you thing)

... and? We’re discussing Eramo.

She apologized after she was a 100% wrong, belittling little asshat. She doesn’t get props for apologizing, just like my ten year old doesn’t get praised for apologizing after hitting his sister. It’s absurd what we are praising here.

Ah, the journalist from Columbia’s schooling has finally come to completion. Maybe next time she won’t call people idiots who are inquiring about the potential innocence of accused. Maybe next time she might even let the legal system decide guilt and innocence and not her own spidey sense based on accusations.

Not really. Pretty standard.

Exactly. Jezebel only jumped on the Rolling Stone article.

This insinuation is all levels of fucked up. Rolling Stone made shit up (that this site jumped on like a wolf on raw meat) and now we’re going to insinuate that she got a promotion because of false accusations? What circle of hell does this thought process come from?

If you’re willing to spend a day building your own, as others have said you should, Tom’s Hardware usually has great build advice for multiple budgets:

Funny enough, I’ve not put it in park but I always put on the emergency brake so it won’t move either... but it also won’t turn off until I do (#electrospecialityantiturnoffifnotinparklockingvehicle)

Amazon managed to get the rights and implement a technical solution. I’m guessing, but I could be wrong, that it IS possible. Especially when you consider the fact that a huge chunk of Netflix’s streamed content is actually owned by them.

It’s not a wealthy school though. So no, it’s not a “whole other world”. It’s the same world. But if it makes you feel better to blame it on the rich, continue to do so.

Why would you presume that we won’t be able to cope with urban combat in 10-20 years? Have you thought long and hard on the subject and evaluated all of the tactical possibilities? Or are you telling everyone to throw up their hands because it doesn’t jive with your own personal political agenda? Because it smells…

First, if Mexico City slid into vast domestic violence and unrest, you’re naive to think that the risk to the US isn’t significant. Manila would be another example of a place that would create real risk to US interests.

If you’re spinning, you mean go home or go home.

Why don’t you argue the points instead of the source? Do you not believe there is a risk of Rio or Sao Paolo becoming like Mogadishu? What about Calcutta, Mexico City or Jakarta? It certainly seems quite plausible and something our military should be concerned about.

I have to say that if I hear a general poo-poo a foreign military asset I usually take their word for it. Why? Because for once they aren’t finding a crisis to build up the next overpriced wondertoy. So if the current overpriced wondertoy will seemingly suffice, that says something.
