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:

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.

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.

Yea, BMW has established an infrastructure to sell in one month (30K cars sold per month in the US) what Tesla has on deck for the X for the immediate future. So no, I doubt there’s ever a backlog at BMW (and why would you prepurchase when there is no expectation of shortage?). Maybe the i8 had them?

Well... a market of 16,000 people so far.

It’s not a double standard. It’s evaluating based on primary objective needs. The primary objective of a minivan is space while the primary objective of a sports car is speed. If the McClaren did 0-60 in 10 seconds but could seat 7, would it still be worth $400K?

NOT saying women can’t do it, but strength is very important for soldiers. The fighting is really the lightweight part and, like you said, virtually none of it is done hand-to-hand. But, infantry carry 120lbs of equipment and engages in a lot of physical labor (those bivouacs don’t set themselves up, the sandbags…

So they *chose* t0 simulate poor frame rates? You be you, Nintendo.

Bruins franchise excited that they might not have to compete with the Flyers for this one.
