I didn’t read this as saying or assuming that the Navy should continue to be the world’s police, just that it is important to properly protect and defend American interests, including and especially economic/trade interests. And that the Navy, at present, can’t do that job effectively, which poses a pretty grave…

As one of those patriot contractors, you have a point. But it’s not that simple. Ships cost money. The biggest glut is skilled labor. Military are hired by contractors because we have the skills and THE CLEARANCES. There are plenty of patriots with ethics in this business sir. It’s the leadership that’s gluttonous.…

1. Smoking dope isn’t an issue provided it’s not at work. Does the DoD not hire if candidates drink alcohol outside of work?

the Cavaliers, featuring three superstars

Note how Kerr and the rest of the ‘90s Bulls don’t feel the need to try and claim they’d beat the Warriors. (Possibly because hey, they would have a shot; that was a series of deep teams.)

Although the entire “deal” was a lie. All he did was announce a bunch of things the Saudis expressed interest in, but can’t afford right now, or deals that have already gone through years ago.

I thought the first law of Thermodynamics is that you do not talk about Thermodynamics.

“Frei: Arbeiten Nicht” -- German Headline

If only, got any examples of this working?

This has not been my experience. It actually sounds like something out of an after school special.

You gotta know a guy. Usually the shroom guys are on the less-sketchy end of the drug-dealer spectrum (which, admittedly, is on the more-sketchy end of the broader spectrum). Your weed guy probably knows a guy.

Somewhere around 10-15% of people voted in the recent Las Vegas municipal election, which is consistent with the last few municipal elections in Vegas.

“(A thing to keep in mind with all stadium subsidies: Even when the money comes from tourist taxes or a general fund, the opportunity cost of losing what that money could have been spent on is just as real.)“

Having lived in Las Vegas for 7 years I can say this is patently false. If their is one consistent thing about…

Of course they’re going to be fresher. Thanks to the bag, the juice spoils much slower, and stays much fresher than traditionally analog fruit.

I’m sure the people at NBC set aside some of the $1.23 billion they paid for the Olympics for remediation. I’m sure of it.

The oil was contained on site by a plastic liner and containment walls and quickly cleaned up

I like your math, but how about this... The combined spillage and waste of oil by all consumers supplied by pipelines similar in nature to this one significantly exceeds 84 gallons?

Wait, you mean 84,000 gallons right? Because 84 gallons is nothing. Why would you write an long winded, breathless post about 84 gallons? Your car has leaked more than 84 gallons of oil in it’s life and no one is suing you.

Hey, I try not to know any Democrats. I just know of the ones whose voices get elevated. Like, say, the ones who actually think things like “One of the most important tasks of the director of the FBI is to ensure that his institution remains studiously neutral, both in perception and in reality”.
