It is - I enjoyed it. Ordered a copy from bookdepository.com based on a Guardian review before it was available in the US.

He’s term-limited out after this term. Maybe he’ll run for Senate! He’d bring a level of gravitas to the body that we haven’t seen since Al D’Amato.

He was an asshole and it was caught on camera. Other human beings who have the (pleasure?) of knowing him can choose whether or not to identify him after seeing the video. You’re not guaranteed the right to privacy if you’re out in public, so tough shit. How’s that?

I would have been pissed off if one of my kids acted…

Apparently it is. I wonder if it’s the guy who checked the old lady.

Wait, isn’t this the same Fox5 News where Ernie Anastos told everyone to “Keep fucking that chicken!” a few years back?

I don’t understand any of this - then again, I went to high school at a northeastern suburb in the 1980s. There were nearly no dress codes. We could wear:

And she likely wouldn’t have forgotten again without you freaking out. When you’re pissed off and the adrenaline is exactly the time you DON’T get into it. I’d think you sounded like less of an asshole if you said “our INFANT”. But you didn’t. And by the way - remember that they’re “your kids” in terms of being…

That’s nuts. My 4th grade twins walk themselves home. It’s about a mile. They’re fine.

Good luck with that when your kid gets older. BTW, making your spouse feel like a shit parent over a mistake isn’t the way to insure a long, healthy relationship. Any parent beats themselves up over a mistake. Having your partner pile on is the worst.

Basically, Donohue’s job is to go on TV, act offended, turn red/purple in the face, and spray the table in front of him as he rants about bullshit. He’s the “intellectual” descendent of Father Charles Coughlin back in the 1930’s.

I mean, he’s even ranted about “Secular Jews” in Hollywood who hate Christianity and…

We were a Compaq enterprise customer at the time (OpenVMS, Digital/Tru64 Unix, Proliant Servers, Storageworks SAN arrays) . In order to make the merger look more desirable to HP shareholders, Compaq was goosing up it’s numbers to a ridiculous degree. We bought an MA8000 disk array, an SLT tape library and fibre…

Let’s not let her off the hook for being part of the management team that tanked Lucent!

It’ll start half decently, and a few months in she’ll decide to merge her campaign with a second campaign operation when someone else drops out. She’ll them spend all her time between then and the general election figuring out what parts of which campaign she should keep and which she should shut down, unable to…

None of the local libraries around where I live have guards. Then again, a bunch of the towns in the area just made some “100 safest places to live in” list.

He can’t see it. Honestly, libertarians as a group tend to have a blind spot when dealing with institutionalized racism and discrimination. And as a political philosophy, it’s really unequipped to deal with these issues in any practical way. That’s why you get people (who at least are sensitive to the “optics”)…

With a lack of reforms, the abuse leads to a lack of moral authority in the community. When a department - or an individual officer - uses violence as a tool, but lacks the moral authority to use it in the eyes of the community, they’re seen as oppressive and illegitimate. And if they use it capriciously or with no…

I’m not surprised by this at all. Personally, I haven’t had a hard drive fail in use in years, including a laptop drive that lasted for six years in a Thinkpad R40 before I stopped using it. I’ve got a Thinkpad x201 in year 5 - going strong. On desktops, I nearly always replace the drive - due to size - within four…

Then again, I did know someone who didn’t realize for an entire two weeks that the guy she was dating was missing an arm so anything is possible.

The RX100M3 is amazing. I wish I could justify buying one. It just feels great when you’re holding it - I stopped by a store to check it out and torment myself. The image quality is fantastic from the samples I’ve seen, given the size. I’d love to get one to avoid having to lug my Sony A600 SLT around for a lot of…

They’ve also got a good deal on the a6000 + 16-50 + 55-210 lens. Looks like places like Adorama and B&H have the same deals.
